TrueType success with X4.0.3
by Paul Abrahams 11 May '01

11 May '01

I've gotten TrueType fonts working, using the Windows directory. Here's how I did it: 1. Using SaX2, I added /win_c/windows/fonts to the fontlist. 2. I went into the /win_c/windows/fonts directory and did: ttmkfdir > fonts.dir ttmkfdir > fonts.scale (The second command could probably be replaced by a copy.) And that was it. There have been other recipes around here which presumably also work. Paul

Damn, what happened to NAFTA? I thought the Canada was the US' prison bitch =) I thought NAFTA would make trade between the US and Canada more favorable than Canada and Europe. Despite I just sent a midsize package(8 lbs) from the USA to Australia with tech stuff in it like Kingston RAM and big harddrives. I insured it(700.00 $) so it was widely visible on the package what was in it. No charge at all on the Australian side. 49 dollars shipping incl. insurance.(7 day air travel) Are you telling me the Canadian officers are so bored they touch and tax every package which crosses their borders??? mk >From: Chris Herrnberger <chris123(a)magma.ca> >To: "Geordon VanTassle" <gvantass(a)thecoventree.com>, "Geordon VanTassle" ><gvantass(a)thecoventree.com> >CC: <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> >Subject: Re: [SLE] SuSE Books >Date: Thu, 10 May 2001 15:52:47 -0400 > >On Thu, 10 May 2001, Geordon VanTassle wrote: > > I don;t know if they ship to other countries, or what the shipping time >is > > (nor relative cost) but http://www.bookpool.com has excellent prices on > > technical books. > >Thanks for the reference, they do have good prices but here is the problem >we >are faced with in Canada. > >SuSE Linux Server = 28.50 US (discounted price) 39.99 regular >Canadian dollare = 1.45 US >So = 41.35 CDN >Shipping 10US = 14.50 CDN (approx) >Import duty 30% = 12.40 CDN (approx and varies on the day..:)) >____________________________ > = 68.24 CDN > >My cost was (without exagerating) 74.90 so for a ten dollar savings I will >need >to waite approx 2-3 weeks for land shipment, If you go air well there are >no >savings. > >So much for free trade in the America's.

ipv6_hop_ra: wrong RA length 0 ???
by Hans Fangohr 11 May '01

11 May '01

Hi Experts, on a fresh installation of SuSE 7.1 I find the following entries in /var/log/messages: May 10 18:18:03 dgl kernel: ipv6_hop_ra: wrong RA length 0 May 10 18:20:05 dgl kernel: ipv6_hop_ra: wrong RA length 0 May 10 18:22:11 dgl kernel: ipv6_hop_ra: wrong RA length 0 May 10 18:24:15 dgl kernel: ipv6_hop_ra: wrong RA length 0 May 10 18:26:19 dgl kernel: ipv6_hop_ra: wrong RA length 0 May 10 18:28:25 dgl kernel: ipv6_hop_ra: wrong RA length 0 May 10 18:30:32 dgl kernel: ipv6_hop_ra: wrong RA length 0 May 10 18:32:41 dgl kernel: ipv6_hop_ra: wrong RA length 0 May 10 18:34:41 dgl kernel: ipv6_hop_ra: wrong RA length 0 May 10 18:36:46 dgl kernel: ipv6_hop_ra: wrong RA length 0 What's the reason for this? A kernel that issues a warning every 2 minutes is maybe not a good thing to have...? Looking foward to any hints on this issue.

affs filesystem support in (SuSE's) 2.4.x kernels???
by Mark Hounschell 11 May '01

11 May '01

Amiga affs files system support was broken sometime in 2.3.x-pree kernels and was not fixed until 2.4.4. Can anyone tell me if any of the official SuSE 2.4.x kernels have this fixed. Yes I'm running a 2.4.4 kernel but I need to know if any of SuSE's 2.4.x (preferably 2.4.2) have the fix in them??? Thanks in advance Mark

Majorcool missfunction
by h.h. 11 May '01

11 May '01

Hello, since I updated to SuSE 7.1 Majorcool is broken. I can install and configure the program as usual, but calling it from a browser produces the following error message "Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin/majordomo" Does anyone know what's wrong here? Kind regards, Zubin

fetchmail help
by Cory Steers 11 May '01

11 May '01

I'm trying to read my 3 email accounts into 1 local user account on my SuSe 7.0 box. I have in /etc/aliases: email1: localuser email2: localuser email3: localuser Then my localuser's .fetchmailrc file looks like so: poll mail.isp.com with proto POP3 username email1 and wants mda "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -f %F %T" poll mail.isp.com with proto POP3 username email2 and wants mda "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -f %F %T" poll mail.isp.com with proto POP3 username email3 and wants mda "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -f $F $T" My problem is that sometimes I get sendmail errors on either the email3, or email2 and email3, accounts. Of course occasionally they all work. I don't have the exact error in front of me, but it's sendmail complaining about requiring the -f option to be used. I thought I was specifying the "-f" option. I believe my sendmail.cf file is ultimately calling procmail, but maybe I should just call procmail directly from .fetchmairc. Any ideas on what the problem is? Thanks, Cory
