Re: [expert] KDE : missing font 'fixed'

Are you using XFree 4.0 perchance? You have to go to /usr/lib/X11/fonts. In one of the directories, you'll find an *.rpmnew file. Overwrite the current file with the rpmnew file, and restart xfs and X. Andrew LINK WORLD wrote: Dear Expert, Although Mandrake (7.0) is remarkable stable

A promising candidate for a real GUI PPP dialer is the rp3 package in the latest Redhat. It's a front end to wvdial and ifup, and it's as easy as you can get: you supply it with the phone number of your ISP, your username and password, and it takes care of the rest. It even figures out how to

RE: [expert] Where are all the FIXES for XXXX BUGS????

2000-04-10 Thread Andrew Post
Often the bug fixes end up in Cooker, not on the updates page. You're fairly safe with Cooker rpms if the version number only differs by the rpm build number (i.e. 2.2-14 vs. 2.2-15). I agree that Mandrake needs to put more effort into maintaining the updates page. The bug fixes are usually in

Re: [expert] MTU length on dialup ISP's

2000-04-07 Thread Andrew Post
I think that it's far from obvious that reducing the MTU really does improve performance. I have a 56K modem over a PPP connection (avg connection speed ~ 45K), and I didn't notice any performance change with an MTU of 576. I kept the change to 576 because I ran across a few buggy websites

Dave, What soundcard? Do other sounds work? (I missed the first post, so my apologies if you already gave us this info). If you happen to have a SoundBlaster 64/Ensoniq AudioPCI there are several bugs in the kernel sound driver. First, the CD channel needs to be set to be a recording source in

This problem aporadically occurs with my Mandrake 6.1 setup as well. It hasn't happened in several months, and I haven't changed anything related to PPP between then and now. I never figured out what caused the problem. I'm wondering if it's a problem with some ISPs' setup that Win9x and WinNT

Hi, After wrestling with by computer's BIOS, I finally got my Imation Superdisk (LS-120) working on Mandrake Linux 6.1. The only problem is, there seems to be no way to low-level format a standard floppy disk on it. fdformat only works on drives connected to floppy controllers. I was amazed that
