[off-topic] Problem printing
by Sergio Dominguez 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

hi all, this is not a problem strictly related tu suse, but thought probably someone would be able to give me a hand straight ahead, and I'm in need! I have a ps doc generated with gsnup with two pages on every page. I want to print it double sided, saving paper and stuff, but whenever I do lp -o sides=two-sides-long-edge or lp -o sides=two-sides-short-edge it prints it out with the two sides of the paper having different orientation (s if it was for binding on the longer edge) Can someone tell me a trick to print it with both sides on the same orientation? I normally can do this no problem with normal documents (using the commands above) but it seems like with this 2-sides-up document I'm not able. got suse 8.2 pro (yes, need to update, but it is working as a charm) and a minolta printer Minolta: Di 550/Pi5500: Filtering forwarding queue to mlt on LPD Thanks, Sergio

Hi All, Just installed by boxed 9.2 on my AMD 64 platform and was surprised to notice java was not integrated with mozilla as is on the i386 install I have running on another of my platforms. Sure would like to see java working here but not sure what's up. Could anyone please lend a hand? Thanks in advance, Phil

9.3 and wlan interface
by pburness 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

I've recently upgraded from 9.0 to 9.3 and that had several issues leading to a complete re-install :-( Now, while trying to configure my wlan interface I am getting several errors :- (It worked fine in 9.0) 1) It seems to be identified in Yast as wlan-id....MAC Address... - previously it was wlan0 2) It doesn't accept a static ip address (or rather it complains the address is already in use although it isn't) 3) It doesn't automatically start up (/sbin/ifconfig only shows lo interface) Anybody seen anything similar? Phil

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtkmm-2.4.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'gtkmm-2.4', required by 'libglademm', not found configure: error: Library requirements (libglademm-2.4 gtkmm-2.4 gthread-2.0 libxml-2.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them." Also, rpm -qa doesn't show the gtkmm-2.4 package.

Anders, Did you ever figure this out? The thread seemed to die out without anyone coming up with a concrete answer. I'm at a loss as to what to do next unless it's to file a report with Novell. dave > On Friday 08 April 2005 12:56, Glenn Holmer wrote: >> On Fri, 2005-04-08 at 05:11 +0200, Anders Johansson wrote: >> > On Friday 08 April 2005 05:07, Joe Morris (NTM) wrote: >> > > In mine (9.2 ,KDE 3.4), it is DigitalPlayback=true >> > >> > Oops, yes, you're right, my mind thought one thing but my fingers typed >> > another :).

OTish Overlaying images
by Dylan 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

Hi All, Does anyone know of an application which would let me define reference points in two (or more) images such that the two can be overlaid on each other. Specifically, I am hoping to lay images of maps over aerial photos and other maps, so the software would need to be able to calculate the necessary rotation and re-scaling to fit an overlaid image to a base image. Thanks for any suggestions. Dylan -- "I see your Schwartz is as big as mine" -Dark Helmet
