03 Apr '24

Yesterday, I finally got sound going on my Linux setup. I downloaded RealPlayer G2 and it worked beautifully. Today, RealPlayer run but no sound coming out. All other sound functions still work. I can still play my CD, have system sound BUT no sound when I run RealPlayer. /var/log/message said kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? but KDE sound still work. I have re-installed RealPlayer 3 times now, still no sound when I run the RealPlayer. Any help is appreciated.

Adding fonts?
by Tracer Bullet 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi all, Reading some mails on the GIMP mail list, I ran across the procedure to install some more fonts for not only Gimp, but the system and StarOffice to use also. Well, I installed the fonts, went to the shell and issued the command xset fp+ <font directory> and then the rehash command and all fonts are there! Ok, that went well, but each time I restart the system, I have to do it all over again? Is there a way to make it permanent and read the new fonts like it does the ones the system installs or is that a no-no? end of line Tracer Shell commands: xset fp+ <new font directory> xset fp rehash -- ---KMail 1.2--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

Problem with procmail

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm having a problem with some mails handled by one particular rule in procmail - all the rest are being handled ok. The .procmailrc goes like this: VERBOSE=on LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log ... cut :0 * ^Received: from correo.foo.es { :0 * ^Received: from (ruebert.ieee.org|engine.ieee.org|hormel3.ieee.org|boldfish.ieee.org|aries3.…) $HOME/Mail/in_ieee :0 * ^FROM_DAEMON $HOME/Mail/in_daemon :0 $HOME/Mail/in_foo } The problem is that mail matching the "^Received" clause above goes to the "/var/spool/mail/cer" folder instead of the "$HOME/Mail/in_foo" that corresponds.

Greetings, SUSE Linux 10.0 on an old pentium 400Mhz After the initial setup dialogs on first run, nothing happens. Subsequent starting attempts simply does nothing at all.

Networked, duplexing, colour laser printer
by 'o-Dzin Tridral 26 May '06

26 May '06

Dear everyone, I'm looking for a duplexing colour laser printer that I can put onto our small home network, either wired or wireless. If possible I'd prefer something where the toner cartridges aren't extortionatelly priced, but that might be too much to ask. I've been looking at something like the Epson Aculaser C1100N. I've looked at /www.linuxprinting.org/ and checked the general level of linux compatibility and Epson look like a good bet. I'd appreciate hearing peoples' experiences with linux and colour laser printers. Any recommendations? Anything to avoid? Thank you for any advice. 'ö-Dzin

You sure know the situation, that you have erased some files, but after you see, that they are still visible, because the database had not been updated. I have forgotten how that is to be done. Can anybody help me ?. TIA -- Venlig hilsen - Best regards - Erik Jakobsen SuSE Linux 10.0 Eval..

print from K-Mail run together
by Doug McGarrett 01 May '06

01 May '06

I don't remember seeing this problem on the list. KMail print on screen is clear and most letters are separated. When I print out a mail, some letters, particularly the "t", the "si" and the "sk" combinations are scrunched together with adjoining letters. I am printing to an HP 2200D laserjet. The typeface on screen (and on paper) is a sans-serif font. Even on screen, it is slightly scrunched in spots. "ri" and "ti" and "tt" and "th" are too close together. Suggestions? TNX--doug
