I just wonder how make galeon or gnumeric print my docs in greyscale and/or economode? By default all my documents are printed in normal mode and it's not econonic. I want to save my ink. a. PS--the Print dialogue shows "lpr". It seems I should add some parameters, should I?

Even those who write the books say it is,um,"quirky" and at least somewhat dificult touse because of the way it was created.However there is a huge repositery of scripts already created and available from a similar location to the Bash files repositery mentioned in an earlier message. Some other good list member will have to give you the url tho, I haven't got it in my head. And dont have a browser in my handheld here.

Problem with k3b - help asked
by Alain Barthélemy 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

Hi, Apparently, those who made K3B only know one word: *Success* even if you only have one second of burning and nothing on the DVD. I lost a lot of time till I found that I had a (true) successfull burning when the iso file size does not exceed about 2,5 Gb and a (false) successfull burning (I insist "false" even when K3B says the contrary) when I have an iso file size of about 3.5 Gb. What must I do to burn files greater than 2.5 Gb? Thank you -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre(a)bartydeux.be http://www.bartydeux.be Linux User #315631

Clustering my two linux servers.
by Prabu Subroto 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

Hi... I have 2 servers. One is SuSE Enterprise Server 8.0 and another is SuSE Linux 8.2 . I want to make clustered Servers, so if one is failed (down) than the other will takeover the tasks of the failed server automatically. Any body have a good experience in doing that with SuSE Linux? I need a recommendation which product I should use. I don't want to be trapped into a device driver problem and I also don't want to be trapped into a usage complication. Please give me your advices... Thank you very much in advance. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!

Should I convert the kiosk PC to ext3? Or am I > missing something in my ReiserFS setup? I'm having very similar problems resulting in my filesystems containing /var and /home being corrupted several times - very disappointing. Making an "reiserfsck --rebuild-tree" gives me most of the file systems back but I always end up with a bunch of files in lost+found and some really lost files. I'm using SuSE 9.0, kernel 2.4.21-202-default. The file systems are created on volumes of lvm-1.0.7-105, and the file systems use reiserfs-3.6.9-33. On an IBM T40 thinkpad which of course shouldn't matter. Any hint would be highly appreciated. > Brad B-- CLE Regards, -- Ejnar

Help. I Need a mirror of my ftp/www site
by Guillermo Ballester Valor 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I build usually some rpm packages for SuSE distribution (not Official) and put it in my home ftp/www server. I also have an apt-repository See: http://www.oxixares.com/apt_en.html ftp://ftp/oxixares.com/pub It seems people like the rpms and they download them. And this is the problem, my line is being blocked because of too many clients downloading packages in a 128 Kbps ADSL line. I thought it would be a big help if any of you provide me a mirror site (free). I have a rsync server to help in mirroring the site. Please, contact me in private mail if you want mirorring my site.

Glitch in starting spamd
by Peter N. Spotts 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

Folks, When linux is booting up, I get the following message regarding spamd: Starting spamd...too late for "-T" option at usr/sbin/spamd line 1...failed So what do I lose by removing the -T from the script? Or is there a more elegant way to solve this problem? For the record (and not surprisingly) I get the same error message when I try to start spamd through Yast2...
