Problems with Opti931 Sound card in Caldera
by Kinjal Sonpal 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

Hi all, I have OPTi 82c931 as sound card for which i installed the Alsa driver .. The system is AMD-K6-II 500 with ViaMVP3 m/b I'm using Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 .. I installed the driver as instructed by the INSTALL file .. However even after inserting the module manually using modprobe, my PC is still mute .. Have tried to unmute the mixer in the KDE using kmix but it says 'You do not have enough permissions. Log in as root and chmod a+rw /dev/mixer' .. however I was logged in as root and it actually has full rwx permission for all .. Dunno what the problem is .. The contents of /proc/asound/sndstat says 'Audio Devices:Not enabled in config' Ditto for Synth Devices & Mixer Devices .. Now what does this config means ? Has any body configured such sound card previously ? Shud I post the pnpdump file alongwith the mail ? Please guide me .. Thanks in advance .. $ sonpal -kj

Thats right. Else you can do the following. Basically, you need 4 packages. 1. The basic qmail package. (qmail-1.03.tar.gz) 2. ucspi-tcp (Unix Client Server tcp package) 3. daemontools 4. checkpassword (For POP authentication) Read the INSTALL files in the qmail package when you untar the archive. They are very informative. The section on Maildir and mbox may be a little confusing. Just go with Maildir. It is the best.

PQ Boot
by charmie＠caltiger.com 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

I have installed Linux 6.0 along with a Win98 installation in a system, that had Partition Magic 6.0 and Power Quest installed. While I tried to install LILO, it didn't get installed -- is that because, Boot Magic is already installed as the MBR ? Normally, Boot Magic gives an option of booting into Win or if any other OS is installed. But in this case, I'm still having to use a Linux boot disk for booting into Linux :/

Hello Fellow MumbaiLuggers FreeOS Technologies India Pvt Ltd [formerly FreeOS.com] needs no introduction here. FreeOS has started a new Training and Edu Center solely for Open Source Technologies. [Linux [Basic + Advanced(Networking) ], PHP, MySQL, Oracle 8i, Apache Admin, Python, Zope, Tcl/Tk etc] This Center has 2 spacious rooms [labs], a Library, counselling office and Conference Hall. Hopefully we can have the Sun LUG Meets here, alternating with the HBCSE ones at Anushakti Ngr. This would help the many West/Central Suburbanites who wish to and cannot attend - the rains, roads etc will definitely see slimmer attendance at HBCSE.

True Type Fonts.
by Rajen Parekh 16 Jun '01

16 Jun '01

Hi all, Some good thing to share. I installed the new version of XFree86 that came with PCQ (last month - XFree86-4.02). Interestingly, the new X font server displays all (okay, not all, but most of them) the true type fonts that I have. There are only few steps to be done to achieve this. This is what I did. 1. First I created a new directory in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ directory. I called it "TrueType". 2. Then I copied all the true type fonts that I had into that directory. 3. Next I ran the following command [root@localhost /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType]# ttmkfdir -o fonts.dir 4. Next I added the path of the newly made directory in the "catalog" of the config file for xfs. The config file is at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config. I also added the path in the "FontPath" of XF86Config file. 5. Next, I restarted the font server, [root@localhost ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart That's it !!! Now you can have all your true type fonts. I could even have Indian fonts working with it. :-) More importantly, for GUI users, Netscape now looks much better. Believe me, much better especially Netscape 6.1. I have tried it with both Netscape 4.73 and Netscape 6.1 and both of them are able to use the new fonts. Netscape 4.73 somehow is not able to use all of them. I don't know why that is so. Netscape 6.1 uses all of them. Will now try to use this fonts with StarOffice. BTW, I am not able to use Java with StarOffice 5.1/5.2. I have jdk 1.3 installed. I have looked at many places for some answers, but couldn't find. I tried some of the solutions available on the net. The only difference now is that it does not display any "errors", but still no applets. Quite wierd, specially since both the products are made by the same company. Regards, Rajen.

Re: [[ILUG-BOM] True Type Fonts.]
by ashok iyer 16 Jun '01

Hi, Rajen, I have used a separate font server called xfstt. It is available via freshmeat. I am very satisfied with its performance and it is very easy to configure. In case you have used it, how is the performance of XFree86-4.02 as compared to xfstt. I am unaware of what is meant by anti-aliased fonts etc. In fact I do not know much about fonts. But xsftt is excellent. I borrowed some true type fonts from a Windows 98 machine. I do not know if it is the right way. Please comment.
