I have written articles with other people--them using Word and me using
StarOffice. It worked pretty well. Certainly having StarOffice
was a tremendous help for me, even with the few glitches.
The equations did not survive the transfer back and forth very well.
Thankfully, we only had a handful, so I waited till I prepared the
final version using Word and put them in then.

Session management. Try killing all windows on the desktop and going to
"Settings->Save Session".

Perhaps a sawfish problem. Sawfish is the new default window manager.

Looks like a problem with the disc or the drive.

Subject: Crontab PPP problem
Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2000 23:24:42 -0700
I have a ppp-on script that works perfectly, dialing my ISP on system
startup of Redhat 6.0. I've used it successfully just about every day for
months.
But occasionally it drops the line, and using the PERSIST option in PPP
doesn't help. So I added an entry in crontab to run /usr/local/bin/ppp-on
every minute all the time. This way, if the line ever drops, it will be up
again within one minute. But even though the script works fine at system
startup or even when I type it manually, it doesn't work in crontab.
Here is the error from /var/log/messages:
pppd 2.3.7 started by root, uid0
Connect script failed
Exit
Can anyone explain? What can I do to fix it?
Thanks,
Micer

Subject: sound card problems ...
Date: 16 Oct 2000 03:22:18 -0400
I have a SoundBlaster PCI128 soundcard installed that
has been working fine until a recent kernel upgrade
from 2.2.16 to 2.3.9.
In the new kernel, the kernel recognizes the card
and the ES1371 driver initializes the card during
the system boot.
However, when I start up the X KDE environment, the
card does not work, and I've reviewed all of the
system setting to make the card work--and I as I
mentioned the card was working fine in the previous
version of the kernel.
Can anyone suggest what might be wrong or suggest
a set of utilities with which I can probe the card
for info about what might be wrong?
Thanks in advance.
John Williams

I tried doing what that page said but it still doesnt print. It still
says it spools correctly, but my printer just stares back at me blank as
ever. Even if i print the test page directly to the port it still doesnt
do anything. When i did /sbin/rmmod lp, it said that the lp module was
not loaded...could this be part of the problem? Thanks for trying to
help.

Your opinions are identical to me :)

By default, telnet as root is not allowed, due to security reasons.
So telnet as a normal user and the "su" to root.
man su

So I called again Toshiba to finalize shipment for servicing of my Toshiba Tecra. I
was told if they find any other OS than what it came with it I'll loss the warranty
and be charged $200 for repair. That is more clear warning that I was originally
told. Not only I will whack MBR this time but will really empty the contents of
/dev/hda5 while /dev/hda1 will only have solely a Windows 98!

Subject: mp3 gain control utility for linux?
Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2000 07:49:57 GMT
Does anyone know of a utility that can adjust the sound levels in an
existing mp3 file without re-encoding? I've got a collection of mp3
files that are of differing sound levels that I stream to my box at work
and I find I'm constantly fiddling with the volume control. There are
apparently utilities of this sort for MS-DOS (eg. mp3amp from
the mpxutils), but I have not found one for Linux yet.
Before anyone starts flaming, yes I do have the CDs and I could
re-encode, but the prospect is not appealing as my system is only 233Mhz
and I have quite a few files that I would like to adjust.
TIA,
John
