Cannot get Pinnacle PCTV Plus (TV Tuner card) to work
by Tarun Ramakrishna Elankath 08 Feb '03

08 Feb '03

Hi list, Problem Description: The card is auto-detected, however I am unable to change channels. More precisely, the last channel that I have viewed in Windows is the one that appears in linux (and no other channels are detected). Details: 1) Redhat 8.0, kernel: 2-4-18.14 2) Selected card = 39 in the bttv CARDLIST file. 3) using xawtv as tv-viewer. 4) dmesg says 'frequency out of range'.(when I try to change channels in xawtv) 5) According to Pinnacle, this is a special indian edition card. I wonder if being "special" is causing problems... :-) I have a sneaky feeling that this version of the bttv driver doesn't come with PAL-BG support (which PCTV PLUS uses). I have no idea whether PAL-BG is supported in the newer versions of the bttv driver. I went to bytesex.org/bttv and checked the CHANGELOG. No luck, no PAL-BG mentioned anywhere. And Yes I have RTFM and done _tons_ of searching on the web. I searched the archives and I found that "Abhir Joshi" of this list had asked this same question in October last year, but got no responses. I will be grateful for _any_ help/tips/pointers. I am desperate, since I am running only Linux on my box now. Thank you, Tarun

Setting font in Evolution
by Rajen M. Parekh 07 Feb '03

07 Feb '03

Hello Luggers, Does anybody use Evolution ? I want to change the Font for mail display. But there is no option to change the font settings. for display of mail. There is option to increase the text size, but no option to change the font. Same problem while composing mail. If I compose mail in plain text, I don't have the option to change the Font nor can I change the default font size. I understand that I am composing in plain text so which font I use is of no importance. But the default font size is so small, that while composing mail, it is painful for the eyes. Anyone using evolution has had this problem ? Have I missed out something somewhere ? Rajen.

If you want to put latest gnome 2.2, you will need to update lot more packages - maybe all of them would have to come from debian unstable releases.

What's new in Gnome 2.2?
by Tahir Hashmi 07 Feb '03

07 Feb '03

Hi all! Gnome 2.2 is out (it's been over a day now) and it's great to know that two of my major complaints about Metacity (the new window manager) have disappeared. Metacity now supports "stay-on-top" and "stay-below" hints. You can also set your own hotkeys for running commands now (hope it gets that as nicely as sawfish). Most significant improvements have happened in Nautilus, which I can't say much about since I'm more comfortable with the CLI. Other goodies include program start-up notification (no more checking for disk activity to confirm that your mouse-click had some effect), "Open Recent" action like "Start > Documents" All of this sounds great. I'm waiting for an opportunity to upgrade :-) -- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed

What initiates dd during shutdown (RH7.0)..?
by Anu Mathew 07 Feb '03

07 Feb '03

Greetings folks, Posting after not valuable yields from considerable efforts on STFW. But still if you can't hold the flames, go ahead, torch me. :^) RH 7.0 during shutdown gave me the following inserts to the logfile. <snip> eb 5 14:59:14 maple xinetd: xinetd shutdown succeeded Feb 5 14:59:14 maple atd: atd shutdown succeeded Feb 5 14:59:15 maple crond: crond shutdown succeeded Feb 5 14:59:15 maple lpd: lpd shutdown succeeded Feb 5 14:59:15 maple identd: identd shutdown succeeded Feb 5 14:59:16 maple dd: 1+0 records in <------------------ Feb 5 14:59:16 maple dd: 1+0 records out <------------------ Feb 5 14:59:16 maple random: Saving random seed: succeeded Feb 5 14:59:16 maple autofs: automount -USR2 succeeded Feb 5 14:59:16 maple automount[446]: shutting down, path = /misc Feb 5 14:59:18 maple nfslock: lockd shutdown succeeded Feb 5 20:59:18 maple rpc.statd[395]: Caught signal 15, un-registering and exiting. Feb 5 14:59:18 maple nfslock: rpc.statd shutdown succeeded <snip> I had no dd in/out in progress during shutdown. Then what initiates this dd during shutdown? This was a normal shutdown, as part of usual routine. Is it sth like saving the *boot sector*/syncing the hard drive's important locations info during shutdown? Thanks for your time, ------ ~AM ------ Mediocrity: It takes a lot less time. And most people won't notice the difference until it is too late.
