Konqueror SIGSEGV on close
by Kevin Donnelly 09 May '01

09 May '01

All of a sudden Konqueror has started giving these crash messages on close. It happened after I visited a page at mvp.qdesign.com, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it. It was working great up until today, though. Has anyone else come across this? Is there any way to reinstall it fresh? Kevin

[SLE] lprng and lprold
by Thibaut Cousin 09 May '01

09 May '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I've noticed a problem with lprng. It does not happen all the time, and I'd like to know if some of you have it too... Sometimes after (successfully) printing something the lp daemon stops working. It is still in memory, its status is still "running", but when I print something else with the lpr command I get a "printer not ready" message. I have to stop/restart the lp daemon by hand... This happened on three machines with local parallel printers, but never happened at my work (the printers are networked). This does not happen with lprold. Any comment ? - -- Thibaut Cousin email : cousin(a)in2p3.fr web : http://clrwww.in2p3.fr -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6+TiPv1vqsTa1E4oRAh92AKCRx/ESGVW2DT8Pq8fY9lfJETo6owCghTDG CeO6lnEziAM1csVCrez+nug= =j+jL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

DVI files
by Darrell Nobles 09 May '01

09 May '01

I have a question about the DVI files in the 7.1- doc/Books dir. I try to open them with the DVI viewer and get a message regarding the bitmaps unable to display, and no files viewed-no pages from the books or images on one or two lines. I can go to the directory and see all the files, and seems like there are two files- one tar.gz and the .dvi file. Do I need to untar the files for install, or have a bad dvi viewer? Sorry newbiw question- looking to open books on the Linux Doc Project an read more on using Linux, but can't open the books.

RE: [SLE] GRUB Vrs Lilo ? WHICH ONE IS BETTER ?
by Gustavo Dutra 09 May '01

09 May '01

Hi, when NT boots, it looks for Ntdetect.com and Ntldr (perhaps not only these), I think you left these files in hda1, so it can't boot. I don't know if you can by pass the dos boot manager and go straight to NT(perhaps somebody else knows). I usually boot with lilo, then select windows partition in hda1 and from the windows menu boot to NT...

Too old or f@$#%d up monitor?
by Hidic Anel 09 May '01

09 May '01

I have a problem ... It's a DTK monitor ... manufactured in 1997 ... The problem is that I don't have blue color anymore ... I know a little about "c. tube" and "RGB" & "canons" and how all together works ... My question is is it possible to fix that if I play with "RGB resistors" or there is no way because it's too old? I don't want to buy new one if I dont have to :) Anyone had similar problem?

Boot Failure Reiserfs
by Brian Marr 09 May '01

09 May '01

Suse 7.1 kernel 2.4.3 /dev/hdh1 -ext2 /dev/hdh2 -swap /dev/hdh3 -reiserfs Background - a number of lock-ups -possibly caused by a faulty keyboard meant that I had to reboot the system without shuting down several times. Reiserfs worked well and the system kept coming back up. However eventually this failed as well. In rescue (suse CD) I tried, reiserfsck. reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/hdh3 Do you want to run this program [N/yes] (note you need to type yes):yes Replaying journal..ok unread_super_block: neither new nor old reiserfs format fount on dev 0x22 : 0x43 reiserfsck: no reiserfs found.

Using CUPS to print to Windows Printer Server
by Jethro Cramp 09 May '01

09 May '01

Yesterday after using YAST2 to update packages my printing system got screwed up. Don't know why or how. Rather than try and setup lprold again I thought I would at least give CUPS a try having read a successful account of using it on the list. I am connected to a windows workgroup and the HP laserjet compatible printer is on //WANGTONG/HP with an ip address of 192.168.0.5 I have set up CUPS using the following command: /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p HP -E -v smb://192.168.0.5/HP -m laserjet.ppd After installing this printer it shows up in the admin window, but when I try to print a test page the printer job just stays in the pending queue and the printer manager screen says that the printer has stopped accepting jobs. Does anyone have any suggestions to get this working? I'd like to give it a try before going back to lpr. I am using cups version 1.1.6-13 and samba 2.0.8-1 on SuSE 7.1. I have the workgroup (TETCO) specified in my smb.conf file. TIA, Jethro

moz 0.9
by Ben Rosenberg 09 May '01

09 May '01

I figured out why Moz 0.9 was crashing at startup. It didn't like the chrome theme that made it look like Netscape 6. heh... It runs fine with the " default themes ", but not with anything that was for 0.8.X or below. That kinda sucks...the silverish grey went with my desktop..oh well. -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.
