KDE: PS/PDF Viewer doesn't print?
by Albert Wagner 07 Apr '01

07 Apr '01

I know I was just on here with Kdvi. Now I'm trying to print the suse book.pdf. The viewer displays it fine, just refuses to print. Printer works ok for other stuff. I'll keep hacking at but if anyone has any pointers I would appreciate a shortcut. Thanks ahead.

Install this with Yast1. > > jvb Thanks for your help Jonathan,I did as you suggested - installing it with Yast1, but I still have the same problem. After the install, after entering my email address, and the other stuff, clicked on Finished, then the player begins to open, but just flashes on the screen for about a millisecond, and disappears. Then, if I try to run it from a terminal, as normal user, typing in realplay. I get the player window with only a few of its buttons, then it seg faults and freezes. Then I have to use Process Manager to close it. What could be wrong with my system? I have a fairly stock 7.1 installation, KDE 2.0.1, and a few of the online updates. That's all, nothing fancy. jvb > > -- > Cheers, > Jonathan

I havn't used the GIMP in a long time, but in windoze PS there's an option to use transparency in the save-as dialog box. Perhaps GIMP has something like that. Is your mode set to Index as opposed to RGB? ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com Central Texas IT http://www.centraltexasit.com

Re: [SLE] Installing Wordperfect Office 2000 on 7.1
by Michael Carr 07 Apr '01

Correction! The reason for the WINEPS/WordPerfect Office printing bug is actually even more straightforward: the principal lp-ascii alias in SuSE 7.1 is 'lp1', whereas for lp it's 'lp2'. Michael

Kdevelop doesn't see htdig
by Gevalim Jeddak 07 Apr '01

07 Apr '01

I am running 7.1 with KDE 2.1.1 update from suse site. Kdevelop 1.4 during setup reports htdig is not installed, which is not true. I have the package installed and I have already even tried to re-install it. Without htdig I cannot use the search functionality. Can someone, please, advice me on what to do to get the KDE find the htdig package? Thanks a lot, Jakub

Interesting account, summarizes details of real world GNU/Linux presentation of a viable desktop. Curious about KDE v. GNOME adoption.

[SLE] LILO and NT
by Oliver Ob 07 Apr '01

07 Apr '01

Forgot two details, added them now. =================================== This is for some interesting challenge: I have some leasing-notebook from my company, on which NT4 is installed and I was not given any installation disk/cd nor manual. This is why I have to copy that whole EXISTING NT partition using... dd if=/dev/hda of=/data/nt4.img My problem at this time is that both the old NT4 and the new NT4 partition have to be precisely the same size (AFAIRC), which I have yet to encounter... As I have noticed now, the partitions (source and target) have not exactly the same size, they are as follows (according to fdisk): NTFS partition: 2096451 blocks (source partition) NTFS partition: 2104483 blocks (target partition) So the target is a little larger than the original. Do I have to resize the target to fit to the original or is that not a problem? Now, that I have come this far, do I need to use the Blocksize (bs) and Count Parameters when I want to copy THE WHOLE partition to an image file? Can I not simply skip these values? Otherwise, to my humble knowledge, I shall go through this - hopefully correct - way of calculation: Units according to fdisk on the nr4 harddisk: Units = cylinders of x * y bytes (y is typically 512 bytes large) bs equals x, that's for sure, but what about count? Or what about Bcount? That what value should I set that one? *Just in case I need this calculation* Am I right in that this way the Partition Boot Record (NOT the mbr!) is copied as well? (Need it for NT4 boot.) Any friendly help appreciated - excuse my english, thanks ahead. -- *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤Oliver@home*º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
