problem in kdat backup in 7.2
by Girish Hanchate 19 Sep '03

19 Sep '03

Hi, In previous version of Redhat there was a option to take a backup thru KDE graphical utility called KDAT. But in Linux 7.2 I am unable to find same utility under Gnome or Kde, Is there any alternative in Linux 7.2 to take backup thru graphical utility which has some features like KDAT or is there any RPM of kdat which I can installed in linux 7.2 rgds Girish __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Hi, I am using emacs over SSH (emacs -nw index.html). However I am unable to see syntax coloring. Syntax coloring in Vim works fine. I tried google ... could not find the answer quick enough ... so I have posted on the list ... continuing my quest on google :-) Thanks, Kapil Karekar -- Lady Luck brings added income today.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Problem with viewing TIFF files.

============= original message ================ I presume that there is some problem with some graphic library (imlib?) which the image viewer software(s) is/are trying to use to display tiff images. Any Pointers? Rajen. ============= end of original messsage ========== Check out imlib_config for options and also your X server display colors setting. See if it is set to million colors. One possibility is that its eating up memory in color replacements. Another possibility being, using the stock kernels. I have faced really bad hdd trashing using stock RH kernels. They somehow eat up memory.

Problem with viewing TIFF files.
by Rajen M. Parekh 17 Sep '03

17 Sep '03

Dear luggers, I have few scanned images, most of which are in jpeg format, but some of them are in tiff format. The problem I am facing is with images stored in tiff format. (I have a P4 1.7 cpu, with 256 MB DDR memory using Intel mother board 845GB and Nvidia Riva TNT2 display card.) Coming to the problem, while trying to view tiff files the system goes into spin. First of all the system memory gets completely used up. The system starts using swap memory to the extent of 200+ MB (I have 500+ MB swap partition). The system starts lot of disk i/o and even after almost 2-3 mins, there is no display of the tiff file. I tried with some of the small tiff files I have (around 15 images total), but with all the files I saw the same problem. The smallest tiff file size is around 150 KB. I have around 4-5 images around that size, and the rest are more then 1 MB. I didn't have the heart to try to view the bigger ones. These same files I am able to view in Windows without any stress on the CPU or memory. I tried using different viewer softwares to check out if there was any problem with any specific software. I tried "Eye for Gnome", "Qview", KDE's default viewer "Kview", and also "Kuickshow". I switched on the KSystem Guard to find out what happens. I found that the moment I clicked on any of the tiff files, the system memory gets used up to the maximum and the system starts lot of swap activity. Then I killed the image viewer process and I got a system message given some details about imlib. I couldn't understand much and there was not much detail in it. It was probably because I killed the viewer process while it was trying to display the image. I presume that there is some problem with some graphic library (imlib?) which the image viewer software(s) is/are trying to use to display tiff images. Okay, one more thing, I tried this with both Red Hat Linux 9.0 and with SuSE 8.2, but with same results. (BTW, I must say SuSE Linux is quite impressive then any other distribution that I have used till date. I have been using Red Hat since its version 5.2, and have used Mandrake 8.2, 9.1.) One more interesting aspect about this is that I tried viewing these files using a Windows based software called "Irfan View" using Wine. And to my surprise I could view the tiff file without much problem, albiet a bit slow then in Windows, but no swapping nor eating up memory. Any Pointers? Rajen. -- A housewife, an accountant and a lawyer were asked to add 2 and 2. The housewife replied, "Four!". The accountant said, "It's either 3 or 4. Let me run those figures through my spread sheet one more time." The lawyer pulled the drapes, dimmed the lights and asked in a hushed voice, "How much do you want it to be?"
