Re: Finished with Linux

[Fred McDavid]

I had similar problems that I never managed to fix for almost a year, tinkering 
with it every so often...but with redhat 5.1, I believe I was able to use 
linuxconf to get my dj693 to print graphics, but not text...used emacs to do 
that.  With debian, I used magicfilterconfig and had it printing text and 
graphics within a few minutes.

Maybe a collectively developed user manual would be a good idea.

 You seem easy to convince. So go on back to your Happy Meal OS. 
 If you can't bother asking for help with a problem, or bother reading
 the documentation, don't blame the OS for what you couldn't figure
 out on your own. 
 
 Be fair about this:  Edouard posted something controversial and angry:
 so did I, when I tried to get printing working on this system.
 Printing on single-user machines is a *nightmare* to set up, the docs
 range from nearly useless to utterly useless, and while I did get
 printing working even I don't really know what I did to fix the
 problem.
 
 And I'm no newbie:  this system had been running Linux for over a year
 at that point, and I've managed LANs and such for years before that.
 
 I'm not a good enough programmer, but someone needs to generate a
 simple printing package for single-user systems that doesn't require
 insanely complex installation and configuration to use a Deskjet 500.
 Sort of a leafnode to inn relationship with the various lpds we have
 now.

Re: Re: libstdc++2.9 2.91.58-5 broken??

[Fred McDavid]

Hi,

Thanks for responding so quickly with the fix...thought I was hosed for a bit 
there.  Should that have fixed those errors throughout or just for apt-get and 
dpkg?  I'm getting the same thing with kde that I was with dpkg...however, 
'man' had been generating those errors and it stopped when I installed those 
debs.

TIA,

--Fred

Please Help! Broke lots with apt-get...

[Fred McDavid]

Hi,

Scenario: apt-get update; apt-get upgrade

Somewhere in the middle, package installations are failing with:

 error in loading shared libraries
 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.0-1.so.2: undefined symbol: __register_frame_info

I think I had managed to fix it once by downgrading libc to libc6_2.0.7u-5.deb

I then managed to unintentionally delete this file and I can't seem to locate 
it again.  Is there any good way to fix this without downgrading (some other 
packages want to see the unstable libc stuff)?

TIA,

Fred

problem with gnome debs

[Fred McDavid]

Hi,

The gnome 0.30 debs installed flawlessy, but when i try to run execute 
gnome-session I get:

 SESSION_MANAGER=local/homer:/tmp/.ICE-unix/18492,tcp/homer:23907

 Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_type_create(): type `GtkCalendarDisplayOptions' already 
 exists.
i
 ** ERROR **: file gnometypes.c: line 30 (gnome_type_init): assertion failed: 
 (type_id != GTK_TYPE_INVALID)
 aborting...
 Abort

I had installed 0.20 as rpm, and removed it with rpm...it left some config 
files around that caused more (similar) errors...I removed the ones that I 
could find and removed .gn* from my homedir.  strace output didn't show it 
opening any conf files, just libs.

Before I give up, compile, and install, I thought I'd see if anyone might have 
seen and solved this problem.

TIA
