List and example of fonts available in oOo
by Kelly J. Morris 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

I'm getting ready to undertake a new writing project. In order to accomplish what I want, I'd like to use a number of different fonts for different purposes. I'm familiar with a few of the more common ones - Times New Roman, Arial, Courier, etc. but I'd like to experiment. Is there a web page some where where I can simply view a list of the default available fonts in oOo and see examples of each? A "Help" search on "Fonts" was no help and Googling "fonts" and "OpenOffice.org" gets me tons of responses but not the simple list that I'm looking for. TIA. Kelly -- Kelly J.

Yast music > kernel problems
by Paul Ollion 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

Hello list I have done a fresh install of SuSE 9.3 on my laptop Intel Centrino Dothan 1.7 Ghz. Intel chipset 855PM - ICH4-m ATI M10 Graphic card The most curious phenomenom was that the sounds could be heard only when yast was on. I could even hear CDs, but as soon as I closed yast I could not hear anything .That's the funny part ; but when I looked at the dmesg output, here is what I saw : .........// ieee80211_crypt: unsupported module, tainting kernel. ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL' ieee80211: unsupported module, tainting kernel. ipw2200: unsupported module, tainting kernel. ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.1 ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation Linux Kernel Card Services ........// //........ slamr: unsupported module, tainting kernel. slamr: module license 'Smart Link Ltd.' taints kernel. slamr: SmartLink AMRMO modem. slamr: probe 8086:24c6 ICH4 card...

I tried the onlinde updates of the kernel with no results and now I cannot use kde except in root mode. As soon I try to launch an application in user mode it freezes and I must revert to console mode. What should I do Find other modules ? Try a reinstall with ACPI disabled ? Try to compile a kernel without those modules ? Any other ideas and enlightments will be very welcome Paul Ollion

Top or Bottom or at end of each subject.

To All: I thank those who have understood I was asking for help and not trying to engage in a flame war on this issue. As one pointed out, there are others in this group who post on the bottom, there are those who post answers after each topic and then there are the top posters! There is "supposed" to be a "convention" of sorts, but as has been pointed out, not all follow that convention! For the time being, I will top post but I will start keeping track of all those posts, by number not name, that bottom post. As for posting answers after each main point, that is one great idea! :-)

CD/DVD woes with SuSE 9.3
by Paul Ollion 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

Hello list I have just bought SuSE 9.3 and upgraded my laptop from SuSE 9.1 The laptop is a mainly intel machine with a Centrino Dothan processor The CD/CVD reader is recognized as QS5 CD-RW/DVD-ROM SBW242C (/dev/hdc) The upgrade was not too bad, my setings and personal files were respected,The ATI vieo appears to be better supported, and it seems faster, but I have no sound and no modem working. Then I noticed that the /var/log/messages file was continually filling with the following error message : "Jun 18 22:09:10 mob Cal.hotplug[15929]: DEVPATH is not set "Jun 18 22:09:11 mob kernel: hdc: packet command error: status=0x51 "{ DriveReady SeekComplete Error } "Jun 18 22:09:11 mob kernel: hdc: packet command error: error=0x54 "{ AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 } "Jun 18 22:09:11 mob kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown The incessant message stops as soon as I remove the DVD and resumes after I have reinserted it. I made a second reinstall from the CD with no more success. I do not know what to make of it, and I'd be grateful if any of you shed some light on this difficulty -- ________________ Paul Ollion Proud Linux user - SuSE - 9.1

DVD won't` eject
by Carl William Spitzer IV 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

In suse 9.2 recently updated I now can not open the DVDRW drive either manually or with eject. I removed the device from yast rebooted and reinstalled still the light remains on as though there were a disk inside. Also though yast found the device which is on hdc the software apparently sees it as hdd? I also get some flaky error on boot about not having a 80 pin cable on the second ide. I installed 9.2 using this drive now it does not work. I will check the physical connections but I am puzzled. I have the 100mb output of hardware info. What should I look for? -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

Refresh DHCP server
by Arie Reynaldi Z 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

Hi, I have a DHCP + DNS server running suse 9.1, and couple of linux dekstop with windows desktop. can ping all of my desktop (linux & windows) using their name + domain (eg. comp1.domain.info). Right now, I just add another ethernet card in my linux desktop. When I boot it, I notice it changes the IP address, from 192.127.0.202 to 192.127.0.241. But when I try to ping the machine, it names is comp3.domain.info, it still pointing to older IP. I have restart dhcpd and named but still no luck. So I have to change manually in /var/lib/named/dyn/domain.info and /var/lib/named/dyn/0.127.192-domain so comp3 is pointed to 192.127.0.241. Is there any easier way, so I dont have to changes manually ? I notice the TTL is 12 hours, how can I change so it can recognice any changes faster ? regards, -- Arie Reynaldi Zanahar reymanx at gmail.com http://www.reynaldi.or.id

Older message headers from SLE have From: some.person@wherever Reply-To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com To: suse-linux-e@ suse.com at the end. My messages, and yours and Sid's, have Reply-To to the author, or no Reply-To field at all, then To: suse-linux-e@ suse.com at the end. This must have happened at the list server, right? Don't all the list messages go through there? I don't see how I could have changed anything in Thunderbird that would affect the headers coming from suse? I worked around it for this message by copying and pasting the To: field and deleting the Reply-To: field. I'll watch that in the future. But is there anything else I can do? If I just copy and paste the message I'm responding to into a new "To:" message, won't that break the threading? >As for your output...

Before it was burning CD's, now it is using mplayer. the screen pops up, then disappears. I can drop to a konsole, su to root, run mplayer and that works, but not as a user. I know if I reboot and log in first, the issue will disappear.
