magic draw UML tool problems with testing

2001-12-20 Thread Hunter Marshall

Does anybody here SUCCESSFULLY use the Magic Draw UML drawing tool? 

I am running testing with KDE X-flavorings, and I have been unable to
past the opening "hints" window for version 4.5, 4.51, and the recent
5.0. Version 4.1 works. Nothing shows up on my screen, yet 20-30 java
threads (MD is written in Java) are running on the system. I am also
using the recommended blackdown JVM.

Thanks for any info.

I have to do this because the usual suspect did not chime in. For some
reason, I have come to believe the following SO adjective is about the
funniest (and most accurate) thing I've heard recently.

Anyway, it appears that your question about SO, that bloated stuck pig
of an application, has been answered.   :-)

Not sure you intended to be as dismissive as you seemed, but my intent
in including a dpkg -l listing was to record the state of my system
with regard to which packages were present on the system, satisfying
the required dependencies. My experience is that reporting problems
without some detail is akin to singing the blues, it doesn't really
help solve the problem.

problem: kword in testing

2001-03-08 Thread Hunter Marshall
I just did a dist-upgrade on testing (it was a testing machine
before, I just did a dist-upgrade to .well, I'm tough).

Kword now sporadically hides lines of text, usually as a result of
hitting the backspace key. Linefeeds jump to the beginning of the next
page. It is unusable.   :-(

I have included the output of dpkg -l to waste bandwidth.  :-)

Any help appreciated. Thanks

[OT] perl regex problem

2001-02-05 Thread Hunter Marshall
I am a long time debian and perl user. But obviously long enough!
Forgive the slight misuse of the list, but can anyone shed light
on what I'm doing wrong in this attempt to find \n\n in a text file 
with perl? I'm sure I've done this before.

Thanks

[Q] Does "testing" have an SMTP MTA that does AUTH

2001-01-30 Thread Hunter Marshall
I can use Netscape to get thru our user/pass authenticated SMTP server,
but I'd rather use something else. I  know I could build sendmail, but
I'd like to stick to .debs if possible. I think evolution can handle
SMTP user/pass but my impression is that it may not be stable enough.

So is there an MTA (or client) in the testing pool that will help me
out?

Thanks.

Why is that?

BTW. Is there a 1.2.5, or is that a typo that's being propagated? I've been
following Debian for awhile, but at this point I am unsure how to determine
when a 1.2.X update hs been made. Any hints?

Thanks!

libg++ for 1.1

1996-12-19 Thread Hunter Marshall
I am trying to build octave 2.0 on my 1.1 system. I did not have the c++
libs (libg++), but if I get the new libg++, that depends on libc5.4, but I
have libc5.2. (I am assuming that my lack of the c++ libs is what is causing
the octave configure script to think my C++ compiler does not work (the c++
calls fails due to no -lstdc++ lib)).

What is the best course of action? Will a new libc cause problems? Can I
force the libg++ install. Is there an octave 2.0 binary in the works?

Thanks

Re: Strange behavior of lpr+lpd

1996-11-21 Thread Hunter Marshall
I can not comment on the thread as developed so far, but let me add that
since I have moved to debian1.1, lpr does not reliably print to a printer
that worked for 0.93. 
The printer is an Apple 16/600 accessed directly via tcp/ip. If i send a
printjob to a different IP address that is a Gatorbox that forwards jobs to
the same 16/600, all is fine. 

I originally thought the problem was for printjobs sent to the printer via
stdin (ie the "print" button xpdf, etc), but I had a couple of failures for
regular files. The final straw was when my linux box apparently was flooding
the printer with some sort of communication, thus choking it for hours at a
time.

I am afraid that since this was at work, I have not had time to pursue a
rigorous debug of the situation. I have started to just use Windows for now
since Word documents emailed as attachments seem to be our stock in trade. I
had xbin in my old Linux but have not tracked it down again to build it for
the new kernel. 

Just rumbling to see if this rings a bell. i can record detailed release
numbers if necessary (I'm not in Linux  :-(   )
