with openoffice-1.1-es, I can't spell check or type accents
This is really strange. I'm using up to date current, kernel, ports, mergemaster, etc. and I updated openoffice a few days ago. I almost never use it but decided to test it and typed a few words in Spanish and found that the dead keys weren't working to type letters with accents [ á é í ó ú ] so I thought no problem spell check will take care of it. Surprise, the spanish spell check doesn't work either. I must be doing something really dumb because aspell spanish spell check works in everything else such as gaim, netscape composer, etc. I'm using everything in kde in spanish, with everything configured with spanish as the primary language. Time for the dunce cap ;) could someone give me a hint as to what I have or haven't done?

Simple, graphic, desktop calculator
IIRC, kde had a simple desktop calculator. Either it has been removed or I can't find it. I have also checked ports and haven't found anything similar except add. It is for may wife so after using the kde one for years she doesn't like add at all and even less bc, dc, etc. Could anyone suggest one or correct me if it is still in kde and I just haven't found it.

cvsupd configuration ? unknown collection src-all
I decided to give cvsupd a try to make my upgrading a bit more efficient and bandwidth friendly. I read the manual page chose a local server [local3], cvsup-ed, updated the repository, built world, kernel, etc. All with no problems. I started cvsupd on the machine with the following options: cvsupd -b /usr/local/etc/cvsup -c sup -s sup -C 3 I went to one of the machines that I wanted to update and started cvsup and got Server message: unknow collection src-all and all others and a message that said it was skipping the colections, ended by a message that stated that it had finished successfully. It actually updated nothing. I've used cvsup as a client for years with no problem. From the manual page it seemed very straight forward and simple but somehow I've managed to screw it up. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, ed P.D. I'm running current. I've got the same configuration for cvs-supfile on both machines except for the server that I changed for freebsd to local3.

Re: apsfilter and Epson Stylus C63 on Current
I'm still fighting with the Epson Stylus C63. I can print images with gimp through gimp-print and after configuring cups I can print the test page and it looks great but I can't print anything else. Other programs see the printer configured by cups and can send jobs to, what I assume to be the queue although they don't show up in kjobViewer and I can only verify their existence with lpc status all and it shows: # lpc status all c63: queuing is enabled printing is enabled 1 entry in spool area c63 is ready and printing The light on the printer blinks but it's never printed and just goes away. I suppose that since I know nothing about cups, I'm mixing it with lpd with no knowledge of interoperability, assuming that it exists.

Thanks to you I'm getting closer :) ed Were you able to print a test page when you configured apsfilter with the gimp-print driver? I don't know how to install the latest (4.1.7) gimp-print drivers with the current apsfilter so I haven't used it for printing. Are you sure lpd is running? I can set up a local printer an print text perfectly and print from gimp with the correct driver configuration but that doesn't help me with postscript (web pages etc.) Exactly how are you trying to print with lpd that is not working? Cups. Cups allows me to configure the printer but the printcap looks something like: gimp|Epson EPSON Stylus C63:rm=local2.local.net:rp=gimp: I have no idea how it actually works. The cups configuration shows /dev/lpt0 as the device but nothing gets to the spooler or the printer. I've always used apsfilter and it has just worked with a minimum of muss and fuss. I sure hope Andres is going to keep it updated because if not I for one am really going to miss it.

Re: cd and dvd burning program K3b and permissions for non-root users.
First I would like to thank: Oliver Fuchs [EMAIL PROTECTED] E. Eusey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oliver Fuchs [EMAIL PROTECTED] For their excellent and similar suggestions for getting this to work and apologize for not answering quicker but I've been trying and trying to find the right combination. After applying and testing all individually, I still haven't been successful. The problem is that cd0 isn't recognized by k3b unless the user is root. The only error I can find from k3b is: k3b: (K3bDeviceManager) /dev/cd0 resolved to /dev/cd0 k3b: (K3bCdDevice) /dev/cd0: init() k3b: (K3bCdDevice::ScsiCommand) open device failed. k3b: ERROR: (K3bCdDevice) Unable to do inquiry. Perms are: /dev # ls -l cd0 xpt0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root operator4, 22 Aug 16 10:46 cd0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root operator 229, 0 Aug 16 10:46 xpt0 I created a mount point directory for the plaza and added the entry in fstab and they can mount /dev/cd0 on their mount point. /dev/cd0 on /home/plaza/cdrom (cd9660, local, nodev, nosuid, read-only, mounted by plaza) I set up sudo for camcontrol which works perfectly ALL ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/camcontrol devlist /home/plaza # camcontrol devlist SONY CD-RW CRX230ED 4YS1at scbus0 target 1 lun 0 (cd0,pass0) I have set uid root on: /usr/local/bin # ls -l cdrdao cdrecord -rwsr-sr-x 1 root wheel 510232 Aug 12 20:22 cdrdao -rwsr-sr-x 1 root wheel 254636 Aug 12 20:19 cdrecord The plaza user can play audio with xmms but still can't use k3b. If you have any ideas what I´m missing, they would be appreciated. ed ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
apsfilter and Epson Stylus C63 on Current
I've been trying on and off to get an epson stylus c63 to print on current. I've always used apsprint which has always worked perfectly. In this case I am afraid that Epson has changed something and this model isn't supported by ghostscript. I've always been able to usr practically any of the basic Epson stylus entries with new epson printers and they've worked. In this case I get a lot of form feeds and garbage. I've tried the gimp drivers and I get a lot of | and other garbage. Ascii prints fine. I've tried the script in the handbook to see if I could get anything understandable from different gs drivers with no luck. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciat them of if someone has a Epson Stylus C63 or C6? printing successfully, would you be kind enough to share the secret with me? :) Thanks, ed I saw that there are some linux drivers for Epson printers in general and the C6?. Has anyone used them? Can they be used directly as input filters in printcap? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
cd and dvd burning program K3b and permissions for non-root users.
I've installed K3b and it works great for the root user but I can't get it to work for any non-privileged user even though I have put the user in the wheel group and have set sysctl vfs.usermount=1, cd0 has permissions set to 666, the same in devfs.conf (That solves the problem for xmms but not for k3b. I have tried to suid and kde won't let it start. I'm out of ideas. After this much time, I'm sure that I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill and I'm missing something very simple. Any help would be appreciated. I can't see my users using burncd Thanks ed P.S. Machines are running current and are AMD Athlon ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I believe k3b runs dvd+rw-tools underneath, so you might consider
making
dvd+rw-tools setuid-root. See the port's Makefile if you have
questions.
Thanks, Chuck. I saw that dvd+rw-tools wasn't installed so I checked the make file
and found that it depends on:
cdrecord:${PORTSDIR}/sysutils/cdrtools \
cdrdao:${PORTSDIR}/sysutils/cdrdao
So I set the uid-root on cdrecord, readcd and cdrdao. It still doesn't find cd0. I
must have missed one. I'm going to keep looking.
Thanks again, I was sure that was it.
