X problem in SuSe
by Sachin Chavan 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

Dear luggers, I have SuSe-9.1 installed on my machine. I am getting problem in starting X server. I am getting following lines(errors) while running #startx (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such device Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list! How to troubleshoot this problem. I have commented the fontpath in /etc/X11/XF86Config in files section but didn't worked. Red Hat has chkfontconfig to add and remove fontpath . How to set font path in SuSe ??? While this is happening My Xfce is working properly. I guess it must be font server (xfs) problem. what could be the problem and so does the solution ???? Thanks in advance. -Sachin

I don't agree MBR Stuff............
by SHAILESH MAHADIK 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Dear rony, Apart from normal sectors of harddisk MBR is Very less written sector of the Disk, Imagine the number of time the normal data sectors get written and overwritten when U copy, move or delete data I don't think it ( MBR ) will get damaged or so... If U have experienced such a thing in past it might be that the harddisk is faulty and not be due to too many flavors of OS installed So go ahead install as many flavours as U like and Ur Hard Disk space support !! Tell me more Like To hear from U Rony Wrote ============================================ Too many linux flavours cannot be installed together in one HDD and constant loading, reloading, formatting may damage its MBR or other sectors. ============================================ Regards, Shailesh ===== Technology is driving Me CRAZIER ....

Okay, I got muttprint working after I did cpan -i Text::Iconv. Then it barfed at not finding latex so I installed both tetex-latex as well as tetex-dvips. Now it barfs at not finding the dvi file.

GUI MP3 Player
by Rony Bill 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Dear Friends, I am looking for a GUI mp3 player for linux. I asked Mr. Google but he is giving me text based, command line or console based players. I even downloaded one package called zinf-2.2.5 but it has a long compilation required. There are a lot of bits and pieces available on the net like tools, plugins etc. I am looking for one which is fully self equipped, that comes with an 'install' shell script file that will install it into my selected directory and will give me a simple 'player_name' script to double click and run ( just as we simply install and run mozilla firefox or thunderbird ). Thanks in advance and Regards, Rony.

FreeBSD sound card
by harshal＠iucaa.ernet.in 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

hi, just installed FreeBSD 5.3 working fine. what i learned from the doc is that in order to make the sound card working you have to re-compile the kernel (or am i missing something?) but i have also tried the FreeSBIE 1.1 a live cd based on freebsd which automatically detects sound card, i am just trying to find which script in that cd does so. any ideas? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean.
