  1. I'm not using Mandrake - mine is in /usr/share/httpd/ Perhaps locate, or slocate might help: terry@timestorm: /home/terry 18:12:21 $ locate htdocs/index.html /usr/share/httpd/htdocs/index.html
  2. There are lots of options. I'm only here for a couple of seconds though, so I thought I'd advise you that I have some earlier Mandrake versions that ran fine on a P133 with 32M RAM that I picked up at the University for a few bucks. I'd be happy to ship them to you (don't think I have the manuals, but the docs are on the disks) for a nominal fee... say some postcards of your area.
  3. You're right, it has been a while since I read the original question, and I was responding to the per-application request only. I don't see any indication that he has done an xhost +, which would be necessary for transmissions of displays.
  4. Granted, his preferred way is to redirect, but he did ask if there was a way to change the display on a per-application basis. It might not be redirection (which might be possible, for all I know), but it wouldn't take more than a second to exit Gaim, and then restart it with gaim -display x.x.x.x:0, if he's not at display y.y.y.y:0 anyway.
  5. AFAIK = "As Far As I Know" A large percentage of programs will allow you to use -display Here is an example, without using -display: terry@timestorm: /home/terry 13:25:42 $ at now +1 min warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh at> xmessage "Testing" at> <EOT> job 28 at 2003-07-17 13:26 Gives me this error email: From: terry@timestorm.ross.com To: terry@timestorm.ross.com Subject: Output from your job 28 Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2003 13:26:22 -0700 (PDT) Error: Can't open display: ---------------- Adding -display :0 13:26:23 $ at now +1 min warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh at> xmessage "Testing" -display :0 at> <EOT> job 29 at 2003-07-17 13:28 gives me:
  6. Yes, install it afterwards. There will be a Star Office Setup menu entry No. Nothing will go wrong with the installation - however, you will not have the database capabilities of Star Office until you (at a later time) install Adabas. Note that I haven't used Star Office or Open Office for years, but that's the way it used to be. You're welcome (speaking just for myself, although I'm sure the others agree)

    That's a good point, for the original problem.

    Just a thought, you might want to try the SysRq sequence. This might force the drives to be cleanly unmounted, which means that after the reboot, you won't face the forced filesystem check. You can find info on SysRq all over the board, but basically, it's: <Alt>+<SysRq> (Possibly "Print Screen" on your keyboard) +R - Raw keyboard input +S - Sync discs +E - tErminate processes +I - kIll processes +U - Unmount disks & remount read only +B - reBoot Other than that, fire up a rescue disk and run the check manually without the autofix.
  9. Yes it is. My real point, until I was distracted locally, was that you shouldn't be afraid to give it a try, especially if you've ever played around in a chrooted environment - it's not that difficult, and it's not going to mess up your current distro.
  10. I tried it about 18 months ago. It was interesting. When you think about it though, whenever you go into a chrooted environment, you're pretty much doing the same thing, with the exception of the fact that you're not running a different kernel.
  11. Just acknowledge it and continue. The database has some licensing issues and has to be installed seperately, if I remember correctly. The dialog is just advising you that the initial installation won't have it.
  12. As far as the card goes, you want the r128.o You want to take a look at http://dri.sf.net http://gatos.sf.net Don't know if either gatos or DRI is in portage, or whatever it's called.
  13. Perhaps it installed it to directory that is not in your path. su to root (and assuming you are still unable to run it, even as root), run a case insensitive search for it: # find / -iname gocr
  14. I don't really use instant messaging, but as far as I know, the recent versions of Gaim support file transfers. Or is it limited in the number of protocols it supports the file transfers in?
  15. http://www.exim.org/exim-html-3.30/doc/htm...filter_toc.html This if for the .forward file, to be used on a user by user basis. It provides useful information though, and a starting point (link) for getting to the system-wide filtering. Doesn't so much blacklist it as divert it from your regular mailbox
  16. I had originally posted this, then deleted it as I figured people wouldn't be interested, but I'll put it back since it might help, generally, with those new to Gentoo, for example. aru, does 1. apply to you?

  17. one way would be to check /var/lib/locale (I think Mandrake stores them in the same place) I think you could use urpmq too, but it has been a while, so I can't say for sure

    I see you're compiling 1.2.9. I show a later version: terry@timestorm: /home/terry 10:18:21 $ gaze version galeon Section Spell Grimoire Version Installed Version ------- ----- ---------------- ----------------- http galeon 1.2.11 -
  19. When I try to print source files directly from Anjuta, they're printed in what appears to be Cyrillic. My locale is set to en-us and everything else prints properly. Anjuta consistently does it though, whether I print to my Canon BJC, my HP LaserJet, or to a PDF file. I've been unable to find any setting within Anjuta that indicates I want to print in Russian (please note that I might just be blind and skipped over the setting... but I'm old and senile :lol: ). Any ideas ? Here is a screen shot that shows what I'm talking about. Anjuta displays the source on the right, and I printed to PDF, which acroread displays on the left (click the image for a full-size version):

    Mozilla fonts

    Yeah, it's a pain. An idea might be to use n-up printing, which prints multiple pages on a sheet. The fonts are still large for each section of course, but you use less paper. in my case, in the printer properties dialog, I'd use: lpr -Ptp0 -o number-up=2 for two pages per sheet. Note that I'm using -Ptp0 because I'm using turboprint, guess you'd use lp0, or whatever. Details from the CUPS Documentation: N-Up Printing The -o number-up=value option selects N-Up printing. N-Up printing places multiple document pages on a single printed page. CUPS supports 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 16-Up formats; the default format is 1-Up: lp -o number-up=1 filename ENTER lp -o number-up=2 filename ENTER lp -o number-up=4 filename ENTER lpr -o number-up=16 filename ENTER The -o page-border=value option chooses the border to draw around each page: * -o page-border=double; draw two hairline borders around each page * -o page-border=double-thick; draw two 1pt borders around each page * -o page-border=none; do not draw a border (default) * -o page-border=single; draw one hairline border around each page * -o page-border=single-thick; draw one 1pt border around each page The -o number-up-layout=value option chooses the layout of the pages on each output page: * -o number-up-layout=btlr; Bottom to top, left to right * -o number-up-layout=btrl; Bottom to top, right to left * -o number-up-layout=lrbt; Left to right, bottom to top * -o number-up-layout=lrtb; Left to right, top to bottom (default) * -o number-up-layout=rlbt; Right to left, bottom to top * -o number-up-layout=rltb; Right to left, top to bottom * -o number-up-layout=tblr; Top to bottom, left to right * -o number-up-layout=tbrl; Top to bottom, right to left

    Mozilla fonts

    You might look into: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xprint/ http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xprint/usage/ To be honest, I haven't checked to see if you can change font size on the fly.
  22. You could try using "make oldconfig" That will try to set the new kernel up just like your current one, but will prompt you when it comes to new kernel features. The problem with this is that the Mandrake kernels are pretty heavily patched, and if you just downloaded a new kernel, it may or may not include what Mandrake has put in, and will cause the make oldconfig process to hiccough And you don't want to copy the config to the new sources directory. make mrproper will delete it. you want to save it somewhere else, say your home directory, and then load it from inside make menuconfig, or make xconfig
  23. I've had no problems. If you like IRC, you might want to check: irc.freenode.net #zaurus
  24. I hate Red Hat because people that voluntarily live in North Carolina are evil evil Just kidding.

    As far as determining which are executables, there are a number of ways, one is to use -F with ls terry@timestorm: /home/terry/htmldoc/htmldoc-1.8.23 21:59:03 $ ls -F cgi-bin/ config.status* fonts/ htmldoc.list.in Makefile.in zlib/ CHANGES.txt configure* gui/ htmldoc.plist png/ COMPILE.txt configure.in htmldoc/ jpeg/ README.txt config.h COPYING.txt htmldoc.icns Makedefs setup.xpm config.h.in data/ htmldoc.info Makedefs.in testsuite/ config.log doc/ htmldoc.list Makefile visualc/ Any files that are suffixed with an asterisk ("*") are executable. You can also use the file command: terry@timestorm: /home/terry/htmldoc/htmldoc-1.8.23 22:02:33 $ file cgi-bin/ setup.xpm htmldoc.info configure cgi-bin/: directory setup.xpm: X pixmap image text htmldoc.info: ASCII text configure: Bourne shell script text executable
