Mandrake 9 TTF problems
by Ashish Kulkarni 01 Nov '02

01 Nov '02

hello, I am having problems in using TTF fonts in KDE 3 on Mandrake 9. I copied the fonts from my Windows FONTS directory to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF and ran ttmkfdir and restarted XFS. The fonts were then listed, but not usable for some reason. After searching via google I disabled XFS, and put all directories manually in XF86Config. I also deleted XftCache from there. After that, I could use the font selector in XMMS to select and use the fonts without problems. Howver, using KDE Control Center caused all the visible fonts to be garbled, like small squares for TTF fonts. After some hacking around, the fonts for the "general" category displayed properly but for anything eles [eg. Menus, Taskbar, etc] the fonts look garbled yet. This behaviour is sometime intermittent--after restarting X, the general fonts also are garbled. Can anyone help me out? I suspect that KDE is not using correct codepage in the TTF fonts (XMMS has that option). Could it be due to other reasons altogether eg. Xft? Thanks.

help : unknown host error
by nikhil badwe 01 Nov '02

01 Nov '02

Hi all I am a new user to GNU/Linux. I have Red Hat Linux 7.2. I tried to configure the my system to access internet. I get connected to the net. I also get a status window indicating the time duration for which i have been online. But I can not open any page in any browser. I tried ping command on shell, even that did not work. I get error as �unknown host�. I have specified my primary and secondary DNS during setup. I tried to access /etc/resolv.conf, but it says it is �read only�. What could be the possible error...? thanx regards nikhil __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!

Slightly OT: Linux and Windows working in Harmony
by Bhargav Bhatt 01 Nov '02

01 Nov '02

Hi Luggerz, I dont think this is quite as much about Linux as it should be, but nevertheless i thought that Luggers will always be a valuable source of information. So here is the deal. I will be soon be having two computers,a laptop and a desktop(both are relatively good ones). I have 30 gigs of hard-drive space on the laptop which will need to run Windows(for voice conversation with people back home :)), and 80gs on the desktop(which will be linux). These computers will be connected to a common 10/100 Mbps switch. My question is how would i share stuff between both machines i.e in effect, have a common 110 gb space which can be accessed by both machines. I dont mind leaving aside 5gs for each OS, but i still want to share the rest. Keep in mind that i intend to run a ftp server, which is why i want shared space :). Please feel free to answer whatever you feel is worthwhile. I have not been able to make up my mind about anything, as quite franky i dont know enough about networking multi-platform pcs, which is why i am looking for some help. if u feel this is OT then please reply off the list, but please provide me some input. In advance, THANX -- Bhargav Bhatt, Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics, Columbia University.

How to make a distro?
by Kapil Karekar 01 Nov '02

01 Nov '02

Hi Luggers, I am currently in the process of building a custom GNU/Linux system for myself using 'Linux From Scratch' as a reference. How do I make a distribution of my own, complete with a custom installation script. Can anyone suggest some literature which I could download. Since I'm taking the pains/pleasure to select the right mix of packages for myself I might as well distribute it to others who want the same mix of packages :-) Kapil Karekar Omkar e-nnovative software solutions kapil_karekar(a)vsnl.net kapil_karekar(a)hotmail.com Tel: (+91-022) 801 2861 (O)
