djvu viewing
by Carlos E. R. 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

After some one mentioned djvu here, I'm scaning some text pages using djvu format - which is not very easy: it is not supported by xsane or gimp. Thus, I have to save the file as "file.pnm", and then convert, using a command like this: c44 -crcbnone -slice 17+13+9+7+5+3+2+1 file.pnm There is no "gui", and the man pages are not very helpfull about what command line I should use. In windows, payware, there seems to be a nice program to do the conversion, optimization, whatever. In Linux, I have to do a long set of trial-error runs till I get the appropiate quality-size tradeoff. The advantage is that the output file is smaller that the jpg equivalent, and better result for the same size, specially when scanning text pages. Now, I want to send this files to some friends, and at least one of them uses windows (and it is his employer machine, so there is no question of installing linux, unfortunately). The questions is: what windows, free program, can I recomend him to view my files? The djvuview program for windows is a cygwin thing, meaning he would have to install cygwin, maybe complete (X an qt suport, at least). (I know, this is a Linux list: but I don't use windows, and I have to interact with some of them. I'm hopping some one here has walked this road before :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Mii-tool not forcing 100 Full Duplex
by Hulslander, Ryan 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

Samba is dog-slow. After digging through FAQ's, etc., on how Samba shares might transfer data slowly, I ultimately discovered that my network adapters eth0 and eth1 are set to 10Mb half-duplex. The statistics show errors and lots of collisions. I'm not surprised. I have 2 NIC's on the machine, eth0 is built-in to the Soyo KT-333 Motherboard, and the other NIC is a D-Link DFE-530TX+. Both NIC's load as an "8139too" and both on separate Irq's. When interrogating the links with mii-tool, I get: eth0: 10 Mbit, half duplex, no link eth1: 10 Mbit, half duplex, no link I've tried forcing them to go to 100/full-duplex using "mii-tool -v -F 100baseTx-FD eth1" and get nothing back. Checking again shows no changes. I've asked the LAN guy about the switch I'm plugged into and he hasn't gotten back to me yet. I tried having mii-tool try autonegotiating again but alas, no changes there either. I'm HOPING it's because the switch is set to 10/half-duplex. Has anyone ever encountered where you attempt to force the NIC with mii-tool to talk at 100/Full Duplex and it just doesn't want to take? Any ideas of where I can start? MANY Thanks in advance!

Hello people, I would like to setup my DSL router in the way that it DOES boot from HDD, in fact it's an old 43 MB notebook hdd. But how can I get this done using board-means from Suse 7.0/7.3? Any pointers to get this done using - repeat - THESE versions?

Installing XD2 on SuSE 8.2
by Max Howell 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

I haven't tried Ximian Desktop 2 yet, but would like to. All I'm worried about is Ximian's RPMs interfering with my nice clean 8.2 install - I don't want any problems caused by installing hundreds of third party rpms. Am I being pedantic? I get the impression ximian's rpms replace a few important libraries etc. should this worry me? Thanks for any advice, Max Howell

I can > send details if you need. Yes, some more details are necessary. On SuSE Linux 8.2, fontconfig was already part of XFree86. On SuSE Linux 8.3 it will be a seperate package. Therefore, if you want to install the newer fontconfig packages from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/8.2-i586/ they conflict with parts of the XFree86 packages and you have to install them with "rpm --force". > So what's the story? Do your added programs, such as fontconfig-config > and XFree86 4.3 and freetype2 take care of all that stuff already or > will the fontconfig programs need to be used as Gnome2 moves forward? You need the updated fontconfig packages from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/8.2-i586/ only if you need newer features of fontconfig which were not yet available in the fontconfig which was released as part of XFree86 4.3.0. > I am not having problems with fonts presently in either Gnome2 or KDE, > but was trying to find some files to update Gnome2 items, like Gtk2 and > Pango and others.

RE: [SLE] cardids.txt ALSA

cardids.txt is a file with PCI ids of audio cards and the correct driver for this card.
