(the first item in the dialog that pops up when you select "print") You can play with the parameters there, or you can use your favorite DE's high-level print command (e.g. "kprinter" for KDE) to make sure that printing from Acrobat is the same as for your DE's "native" applications. If all else fails it should be possible to use the exact same command that is shown in xpdf's print dialog. -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

That would be because Cedega is still far from supporting all games that people want to play. For example, I looked up the next game I am going to get, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.

Recursive copy to udf-formatted dvd-ram freezes system
Hi, I formatted a dvd-ram with udf: mkudffs --media-type=dvdram /dev/scd0 Than after mounting the dvd-ram I can copy files to it and a diff shows that the copied files are okay. To ensure that the files have really been written I switched the writer off and on and mounted and ejected another dvd between cp and diff, and there were no differences. But if I try to recursively copy directories to the udf-formatted dvd-ram: cp -r /some/dir /media/cdrecord than after a few seconds the system freezes totally - only a power off/on to reboot is possible. The same occurs if I use Nautilus for the copying. However if I formatted the dvd-ram with ext2 filesystem, all went fine, no problems.

you'll find that you install C:\bin, put it in your PATH and fill it full of
things like vi.exe, tr.exe, sed.exe, today.exe, etc. that you can locate on
the web to make batch scripting much easier.
If you use today.exe to get the same result, the batch script looks like:
for /f "tokens=1 delims= " %%A in ('today') do (set GDATE=%%A)
Still not as intuitive as VAR=`the output of the execution of this program`,
but it does the same thing.
So... as you work in shell, start building your C:\bin library. You'll be
glad you did!

problem installing tdsodbc
Greetings.

Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: tdsodbc: Depends: odbcinst1debian1 (>= 2.2.11-3) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages -- Since I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing, I suspect it's more like user error on my part than a bug, so I thought I'd ask here before embarrassing myself with an erroneous bug report.

If that works, you know aRTs is the culprit. You can either not use it (this works for me); or you can try to find out why the device "default" is not found. Try using the "Override device location" option in "Sound system > Hardware" and make it something like "hw:0" or hw:1", (press "Apply" for each attempt and see if the error message reappears). If these fail, try putting in the path to your actual sound device - you'll have to hunt that down in /dev.

I had the same problem with Adobe, and the same thing was happening with the reader (I think it was Envision) which Debian installed. I wondered if Acrobat and Envision are doing something such as generating a Postscript Level 3 file, which my Postscript Level 2 printer cannot digest. Because of spyware concerns regarding the current version of Acrobat/Adobe Reader, I switched back to Adobe Reader version 5. I have not checked Envision since reinstalling Etch last week. % Can someone tell me how to turn off the cover page/banner page (which shows user name, host name, and job number) which prints with each print job? The Debian package maintainer should have made the default not to print the cover page; it is appropriate only in a multi-user environment in which a single printer serves multiple users. And perhaps is it possible to solve the CUPS-doesn't-print-until-the-printer-is-reconfigured problem by doing a command-line installation of the printer, rather than using the web-page administration tool?

A better solution would be to use jigdo-lite to download a set of CD or DVD images, and install from them. Jidgo can complete the task, even if it takes multiple sessions and even if communications are interrupted. If you need a set of CD images and do not wish to keep running back and forth to the machine to start jigdo downloading each of the (now 18) images (very inconvenient if you are downloading overnight and wish also to sleep), a neat trick is to download DVD images instead, of which there are only three. Then, in a single, brief session, you can mount each of the DVD images as a source and have jigdo create CD images from them.

I've been doing some research on this, and Beagle is one of many projects which seem to be working towards the idea of a "semantic desktop", where a "heap" of files is viewed according to any number of metadata tags, either built-in or added by the user. A file can thus belong to any number of "folders", and the "tree" ceases to exist, at least as far as the user is concerned. Photo-management programs like digikam already do this: pictures can be viewed according to built-in or arbitrary tags to a point where it becomes irrelevant what folder they live in. I guess I'm looking for ways to extend this to all types of data, using a unified indexing engine and interface. Some of these projects are: Beagle, GLScube, Strigi (for KDE), tracker, heap-buddy, and at the filesystem level, lufs, fuse and union-fs. If anyone is up-to-date on this stuff, I'd be interested to hear about it. About my initial post where I wanted to be able to rearrange directory trees according to various criteria: I've written a short bash script to demonstrate this. It creates a folder in ~/ and puts folders in it containing hard links to all files from all folders of a given name. You can keep the rest of the original directory structure leading down to those files or not. It uses the small utility mmv to do the linking. I've included it below in case anyone wants to try it. It can't handle directory names with spaces, it simply overwrites links to like-named files (not the original files!) when the single-directory option is used, and mmv generates a lot of screen garbage. I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions.

I'm using pdksh. There are tons of information provided by google, but
none of them are working.
Setting my prompt to:

makes my prompt:

Hi .. I never used this but I can say you that you are using 'text
strings' in that variable .. Everything you put enclosed in ' and " is a
'text string' in c, perl, php, bash and others.
PS1=$'\E[31m'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'\E[1;33m'`hostname -s`:$'\E[0m>'
The result looks like this
PS1=$'\E[31m'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'\E[1;33m'`hostname -s`:$'\E[0m>'
$ \E[31m [EMAIL PROTECTED] \E[1;33m leva:$ \E[0m>
Do you see?
Try to eliminate ' and try .. Maybe it works.
I know /zip/ about {pd}ksh, but, in bash, $'text' is a special
syntax that recognizes special character codes such as \E
(escape). Under bash, that PS1 string works as expected.
LeVA, it looks like you got advice on how to change the prompt
color in bash, but you're using it for pdksh; pdksh probably
has a completely different way to change the prompt color.

I'm just saying the client-side approach to multi-protocol support is ass-backwards in general and usually results in a client that whose support of half a dozen clients is the world's least funny joke, whereas if you let the server handle the connections to the obsolete networks (AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, IRC) you get a client that does one protocol really really well, and transports that work increasingly well over time.

Anyway, I have solved my problem with gimp 2.2.6. In a nutshell it appears that, a while back, when I was trying to compile gimp-shop, that package had links to libcairo2 and libpangocairo in its gimpwidgets library. I never got gimp-shop to compile, and in the process broke a lot of stuff which I spent a week fixing. I thought I had removed every trace of it and its related packages from my machine. Aparently not. Thus gimp choked on these non-existent files that gtk thought it needed. Even more evil as that goes was that gimp's final installer script was looking for gimp's default configuration in the home directory of the person who created the debian installer for gimp-shop! I don't know who "suramya" is but they surely don't exist on my machine. Be careful you package maker people! I have learned volumes from all of your help. And you can be sure that I will be bugging you again about something or other. All this is a good reason to stay with stable for me.

This is not a tutorial or anything and most of this can be found
googling, but this is my prompt:
PS1='^[]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED] ${PWD##*/}^G^M^[[0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]
${PWD##*/}]$^[[m '
Note that the ^[ and ^G in the prompt string are single characters for
ESC and BEL (can be entered in emacs using C-q ESC and C-q C-g). The
^M is a carriage return (C-q C-m in emacs), and needs to be used after
other escape characters in the prompt, so ksh can determine the screen
width properly. I couldn't figure out a way to enter these control
characters with vi, but I didn't try too terribly hard either. The
${PWD##*/} is a ksh construct to get the basename of the directory you
are in.
This part sets the title:
^[]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED] ${PWD##*/}^G^M
This part set the prompt (with color):
^[[0;[EMAIL PROTECTED] ${PWD##*/}]$^[[m
So a no frills color prompt without the title might be:
PS1='^[[0;[EMAIL PROTECTED] ${PWD##*/}]$^[[m '

Thanks a lot for the reply, I've tried it and it stays the same :\ just
spits out the characters, and no colours.
I've tried it with ksh (the original, not the public domain) and it is
working as expected. So it seems to me that pdksh is broken; or not...
I don't know. I thought that pdksh wants to "clone" ksh88 and ksh93.
This rewrite indeed implements some features from ksh88 and some from
ksh93, but surely not all, and some of them are broken. The
maintainer's latest version dates back to '99 and I just saw the
existing bugs' page... I could've passed over this colour trouble, but
the alias exporting is not working which I surely need.
As I don't want to use the original ksh (although it is working :) I
guess I'm just stuck with the good old bash, and use pdksh on my bsds.
Thanks for your efforts, and help.

Thanks for the enlightening info ... here's what I've done so far to obtain a Bootlog (/var/log/boot) and then subsequently that gets moved to boot.0, boot.1 and so on...as a new one /var/log/boot gets created -- and the older ones moved down a notch. I did what Mumia suggested -- here's my /etc/default/bootlogd file now; --- $ cat /etc/default/bootlogd # Run bootlogd at startup ? BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes --- It *seems* to possibly needed a few boots to kick in (atleast for me it did) .. I have also now used 'tune2fs' to Enable a fsck (/sbin/fsck.ext3) at every 3rd mount - rather than the default of every 30(?) mounts. IIRC, I did 'tune2fs c3 C3' I can't exactly pinpoint which one (syntax) actually took effect correctly, but the Bootlog file (/var/log/boot) shows me the actual events that occurred (as it should) and tells one where to look for other info concerning those events and their respective logfiles. Ex: >From Bootlog we see; -- ~$ sudo cat /var/log/boot Tue Jul 25 12:12:43 2006: Done checking root file system.

PostgreSQL & ODBC & OpenOffice
Hello
I'm new with PostgreSQL, more over I'm new with DB at all.
I'm currently successfully connect to the DB "mydb" with owner "gusti"
in three different modes.
1: Locally from the system user "gusti".
2: From another user in the next form: "psql -h localhost mydb
gusti" and giving the correct password after well.
3: Using the library "libsqlxx-dev" with the next settings:
SQL.setUsername("gusti");
SQL.setPassword("thePassw");
SQL.setHostname("localhost");
SQL.setPort(5432);//don't must
SQL.setDatabase("mydb");
SQL.setType(SQLXX_ODBC);
SQL.setDriver("/usr/lib/postgresql/lib/psqlodbc.so");
SQL.connect();
My problem start when I use OpenOffice. Almost the same error:
"[unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default
driver specified"
There aren't to much values in the OpenOffice->tool->Data Sources ...
Can you please help me with this ?
In the connection using "ODBC" I use in the "Data source URL" the next
source "//localhost:5432/mydb", and nothing for the "Driver setting",
and the "user name" is "gusti" and when pick the Tab "Tables" I request
for a Password and then I receive the error. So, What is the problem?
