bizzare font behavior
by brad 04 Aug '01

04 Aug '01

Hey all, Each time i boot my machine it seems to toggle between two interpretations of 12pt fonts. There seems to be a random patten for my computer interpreting fonts. One time it will be really, small, the next boot, it will have big fonts. The font configuration is the same (mostly size 10pt font in KDE2). But each time the computer boots, i have no idea if I'm going to be able to read the fonts on my screen, or if it's going to be too big. It's on a RH7.1 i installed few weeks ago. I have KDE2 running, and i have the graphical login window when i boot. Any ideas? Thanks, --Brad

Any ideas as to why? Wes

ipaq and QTe
by Brad Noyes 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

Hey Gang, I finally installed linux on my ipaq, and installed QT embedded last night, and part of this morning. I like it so far, there are a few things that are missing, one of which i find to be a real big down side. I can't seem to turn off the back light. I don't want all my batter sucked up from the backlight. Anyone else have this problem know how to fix this, or have any suggestions? i was also wondering if anyone knows of any/some good sync tools, for linux, and the ipaq. Thanks, --Brad

That did it! I knew they were a bit screwy there. Do you know if they consider NAT a "proxy"? If they do they can kiss my business goodbuy, I'm not leaving windows unguarded, and 2 firewalls is better than one in linux! Thanks for the help!

cable mode and firewall...
by Wesley Allen 31 Jul '01

31 Jul '01

Hi, I just got broadband at home and am loving every minute of it. But I'm hitting one snag... I dusted off an old sonicwall we had lying around at my job and got permission to take it home, after hacking the firewall I got everything set up and ready to go, my wan was hooked up to the cable modem, my lan was hooked up to the hub, the dhcp server was set up, and I had NAT w/dhcp client as the default setting. So I reboot the firewall and it doesn't get an ip address! I erase any trace of the older, static, settings, and try again, noting. Has anyone else got this problem? I'm stuck with Charter communications, do they have some way to avoid giving addresses to firewalls; if so, hello DSL my wife is tied to windows and I'm not shelling out money for something that comes built into linux. Thanks, Wes

dan; yes, i can ping client to server and server to client. i looked at ipchains -L -n and the only source other than 0.0.0.0/0 was 192.168.1.1 which is the ip address of the server and the target was accept at ports 53 -> *. the other accept was prot all source 0.0.0.0/0 and ports n/a. everything else had target of reject (tcp udp) et.al. chain forward policy is accept chain output policy is accept now to be honest with you, i haven't much of a clue what the above means. hopefully, you do. any more help muchly appreciated. jim s
