Anyone have a clue which config file for KDE handle TTF's? I noticed that w/ one of the last couple build of KDE3 that it's not seeing my TTF's. I've got anti-aliasing enabled..but I'm not sure what controls this. Thanks, -=Ben --=====-----=====-- mailto:ben@whack.org --=====-- If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little. -GC --=====-----=====--

Fonts in Xfig
by Steffen Brinckmann 31 Aug '02

31 Aug '02

Good Morning/ Afternoon/what-ever everybody, I have 7.3 installed, yes I do not install every version, and have problems with xfig. 7.3 seems only to know TimesRoman(for example) up to a size of 14pt. All bigger sizes are mapped down. I know that it is primary connected to the XFree fonts. I toyed around with the fontinstaller and even with something with "ms" in its name. Yes I am really desperate. Does anybody else have this experience. Does anybody even know a solution? That would be really great. Thanks in advance. Steffen ... _...

Wireless PCMCIA in a Desktop: Will Linux Recognize it?
by Dennis J.Tuchler 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

I would be thankful for answers to some questions: about wireless cards 1) Re: Wireless Ethernet Cards for Desktops. How does one get Linux to recognize an ethernet card (e.g. a wireless card) that is not on the list of supported cards shown by YAST2? 2) Re: Installing a PCMCIA card onto a Desktop. I understand that one can install a wireless PCMCIA ethernet card in a desktop with the appropriate PCI card. Is there any problem with Linux's recognizing the card under these circumstances? Under Linux 8.0, is there any problem with recognition and use of a wireless PCMCIA? I read the relevant HowTo, but that installed under Debian and I think (guess) an older kernel. Thanks -- dj tuchler dtuchler(a)earthlink.net

MIDI question
by Dominique Michel 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

My MIDI sound is not working with my i815 soundchip and SuSe 8.0. I have downloaded the upgrade and configurated it with alsaconf, but it's not working more, the driver is the correct one, the snd-intel18x0.o. Only the PCM sound is OK, timidity is working fine. With Mozilla, it's strange: if the link is a direct link to a MIDI file, it's working, but if the MIDI file is linked with an embed tag in the code of the page, all i get is a little comment at the bottom "running helper..." and no sound at all. If i try with configuration, son, MIDI in the kdm menu, i get at i have no MIDI port. In the config menu, sound, mixing console is not working at all. Kmidi is working but i can see the leds taht go up and down, but i hear nothing. With kmid, it's worse, i get only a crash with signal 11 from it or kdm. The sound part of the module.conf is as follow: # Aliases for OSS # alias sound off # alias midi off # OSS/Free setup alias sound-services-0-0 snd-mixer-oss # uniq.virtual:Sound card # # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 0.9.0 --- alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0666 options snd-intel8x0 snd_index=0 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- Can somebody help me with to fix this problem? I'm sure at it must be a possibility to have the seuquencer working. I have proved with timidity as server, but i don't now how i must configure the MIDI ports to have them to work, all i get is a message like what timidity was working and att it was 2 Midi ports, but back in configuration, sound, midi, nothing is here.. Thanks Dominique Michel

Short range connection
by Kaare Rasmussen 17 Aug '02

17 Aug '02

Just speculating... Does a technology exist that can connect two locations that are some 2-300 meters apart without using teleserverices? The two locations are not visible from each other, so laser or similar is not an option. The bandwidth demand is very small, so the solutions should be very inexpensive. Anything like that?

Re: [SLE] Menu Update
by Gord Berta 14 Aug '02

Hi all, With SuSE 8, I have recently added OpenOffice, Kmymoney2, and a couple of other KDE apps. How do I get the Icons for these into the Menu to launch the apps. Right now I ust alt f2, but I would rather have them in the menu than on the desk top. I have tried KmenuEdit with no success. Thanks Gord

[OT] Pro Office (upgrade) cd in NL+BE
by Frederik Vos 10 Aug '02

10 Aug '02

Hi all, I think it's off-topic, and maybe even not allowed (if it's forbidden to post this, plz let me know and forgive me) .. It's very often a little bit difficult to get a cd like this new upgrade and Staroffice in Holland and Belgium. Especially if you don't have a credit-card .. Linuxbelgium (http://linuxbelgium.net) is selling it for Holland and Belgium .. and also the upgrade version of Suse 8.0 :) ps: I think this cd upgrade cd is a very good idea, especially for the people without broadband access. (And it's a cheap way to get StarOffice 6). Tnx Suse !! -- regards, Frederik Vos www.vosberg.be

I've come accross this format, apparently a video format. Does anyone know how to make Suse-8 recognize this file format? (E.g: movie.wmv) Thanks in advance. Niels
