Problem with Fonts using gtk
by Rajen M. Parekh 08 Apr '03

08 Apr '03

Hi all, I an using Red Hat Linux 8.0. I have installed True Type Fonts (http://corefonts.sourceforge.net). The fonts work perfectly fine with all applications (Mozilla, Open Office, KDE applications, etc., but application based on gtk+ don't use these fonts. For example, Abiword. While using Abiword, the fonts list doesn't show the true type fonts that I have installed. Same with applications like Gedit, Gnumeric, Nautilus, etc. I can't figure out the problem. I tried deleting old cache files, old configuration files, of these applications, including .gnome, .gtkrc, etc. I also tried rebooting, but somehow these applications refuse to show these fonts. Any clues, pointers? Regards, Rajen. -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org)

Diskless Nodes
by Nikhil Joshi 08 Apr '03

08 Apr '03

Hello linuxers, I tried to configure Diskless Nodes in our college. I'm first trying with one server and one client. Now the client is able to identify itself and the server i.e. it knows the IP address of the server. However I am not able to ping the client from the server. Also the client starts loading the kernel. However the Kernel does not load fully and the booting does not continue. I have no clue what may be the problem. I went through LTSP documentation but I could not figure out from that too. Please guide. P.S. I saw that there are two LED's on the Network Card and one glows continuosly and other blinks according to the traffic. I guess the constantly ON LED is clock signal/Carrier or something. Now when I directly connect the cable from Server to the node there is no LED glowing. However when I connect them through Hub the LED glows. Do I need to use a hub just to connect one Server and one node? This is from a person who has no knowledge whatsoever of Networking. Please bear with me. -- Nikhil nikhiljoshi.cjb.net

Workshop at SAKEC - call for speakers!
by Ashok Iyer 08 Apr '03

08 Apr '03

Hello people, As posted earlier, the GLUG has agreed to conduct a workshop at Shah and Anchor Kutchhi Engineering College (SAKEC) - Chembur. Thanks a ton folks! Date: 19th. and 20th. of April (third Sat. and Sun.) The audience for the workshop will comprise of students from 3 engineering streams: a) Electronics b) Information Technology c) Computers We can expect approx. 100 to150 odd students for the workshop, maybe more. Adequate facilities in terms of infrastructure are in place(lecture hall, LCD projectors, Labs etc.). Audience background: ----------------- The audience have no clue of what GNU is all about. Some have just heard about "Linux". Zero exposure & practical experience. So we would have to start from scratch but can get technical quickly. SPEAKERS NEEDED!! ------------------ Speakers are needed for the workshop. Harsh has confirmed himself and Trevor's presence for the same. As Harsh suggested, it would be nice to have people who wanna speak for the first time. Please come forward. It would be a privilege to have Dr. Nagarjuna around. Maybe Harsh and Trevor can take over this and decide the topics and speakers. You can contact me at 28169393(residence) after 8:30 pm or at 26875452 (office). Regards, Ashok Iyer

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Help!) basic installation help

Hi Sheetal On Wednesday 02 April 2003 22:15, Sheetal Chopra used the keyboard to ent= er=20 the following: > I also tried RedHat 8.00., but the dual boot didn't work, then XP > overwote my redhat installation. This overwriting of MBR usually happens when you install windows "after" you install Linux. Windows doesnt recognize Linux and writes into the mbr. Try installing Linux after you install windows. Linux detects that there is windows and makes a relevant entry into its loader so that you get the option of booting into windows. -- Regards Abhijeet D Mhatre Email: abhijeetmhatre(a)gmx.net --------If wishes were horses Migs would fly.-----------
