Slackware :: UTF-8 Man Pages Cannot Be Viewed / Show That?
Apr 17, 2011
There are a few very important man pages having UTF-8 translations. Those UTF-8 man pages cannot be viewed unless a groff wrapper (http://www.haible.de/bruno/packages-groff-utf8.html) is also installed.
Please either remove those man pages or include that groff-utf8 wrapper in slackware.
[Edit] I believe removing those man pages is better since the translations are often incomplete and inaccurate.
I have just tested this 3 times now and everytime I got the same result. I have two identical servers, they are both IBM x345 and everything has been copied directly from one to the other so they are exact duplicates other than the hard drive and partition sizes. When copying over the /svn directory it looks like everything copied successfully (I have tested rsync and cp) but when I go to look at the files locally there is nothing there. I can view the files without issue over the nfs share that I am using to copy the files but nothing is there locally. Even df shows that there is nothing there. The other server on the network shows the files there and using du I can see that the size is correct on all of them.
Before anyone suggests this is a permission issue, I was using root to see if the files are there but even root does not see anything. I am completely lost on this and even google does not seem to come up with anything. The servers are running fedora 12, the /etc/exports file is placed below.

I'm in the middle of creating a new web page & want to have a certain Facebook wall show up on one of the pages_[ Is this possible & if sooo how can I accomplish ]
Recently i had migrated from windows 7 to fedora 15. i have lot of flipbooks with me and unable to open those flipbooks in fedora. finding a suitable solution to open those flipbooks. is there a software to open these books linux. in windows there is no requirement for special softwares to open flipbook, since it is similar to flv or swf files. i had already tried with wine. with wine the file is opened but do not displays the contents or pages, show a blank white screen. @people who dont know about flipbooks: flipbooks are flash objects usually created from pdf files used for reading, flipbooks simulate the reallife book actions(page turning).
I try to install the java plugin but the java test pages show not installed. I have tried the openjdk-6-jdk package and the Oracle/Sun 1.6.0_26 version to no avail.
Is there some good instructions page someplace? I have yet to find a set of instructions that provides something clear that works.
I'm trying to make some pages. For this I try to host them locally. However, when I have an error in my PHP code, the server shows an internal error 500 page and doesn't show on what line and what compile error it encountered. There is no such information in the error log either. What should I do about it, it's not really nice to comment all the lines and then try to uncomment them one by one. I've been googling for a while, but didn't find anything.. I forgot to mention, I;m using Fedora :P, the apache that came with it and mysql and php from the repository...
The scrollbars you see around the form do not show up on Firefox on Mac or Windows, and don't show up in Opera.Why is Firefox on Slack displaying pages in a slightly different manner?
I upgraded from 13.0 to 13.1 and now I have strange behaviors with the printer. It is an Epson Stylus Photo RX640. It was working well with the vanilla Gutenprint 5.2.2 that came in Slack 13.0. The printer is shared and used from other slackware boxes and a mac. Upgrade to 13.1 (gutenprint gets to be 5.2.4) ...
Now when I print from the machine that has the printer attached I get full black pages, and cups shows errors. The Mac is still able to print well (probably because it is using its own PPD and passing through directly to the printer). I then removed gutenprint, and then removed the 5.2.2 PPDs (that were still in the system). Reinstalled gutenprint from the Slackware 13.1 distro. And the problem persists.
I have a Cent OS 5.4 32 bit final installed in my dedicated server.
I used to run lighttpd with php in my server until now and all was fine.But yesterday I changed my website which needs apache to run. So installed apache using yum install httpd command.
Then I added the virtual host name of my domain in webmin panel but when i try to run my php script in browser then its not opening php pages.
Instead it downloads php files like index.php when i open in browser.So I guess apache is not able to compile and run php pages. Only html pages are opening right now..
Does an O.S need a Windows system manager to view anything or can text be displayed without it? Also does anyone know of a decent guide/tutorial on X or the applications that X includes?
using the System->Preferences->Remote Desktop i have setup a fresh ubuntu install to share its screen.
from my OSX 10.6 machine, i have tried connecting via Chicken of the VNC and Jolly's Fast VNC Client, both will successfully connect and show the full screen on access, but fail to update the screen after this.
the only way to update it is to disconnect my VNC session and reconnect again.
the Ubuntu desktop is being VERY responsive to mouse gestures over VNC, so this seems to be a one way issue.
So I wanted to use R's graphics to visualize information, but when I typed
Code: Select alldemo (graphics::graphics), R's built-in introduction to its graphics, the separate window opened up with no graphics, and the terminal returns
Code: Select allError in plot.new() : attempt to plot on null device.
I have the core Jessie packages for R, so I don't think that is the issue.
I have tried to set up the desktop version of the server . In my apache2.conf file I have changed the following lines-
Code: # Include the virtual host configurations: #Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ Include /home/www/websites/ Yes I do keep the default values commented out
In my virtual host file I have made the following changes to the DocumentRoot, and to one of the <Directory>; the rest of the file doesn't appear here as nothing was changed.
I've been having this problem when viewing online videos/tv, primarily channel4.com/4od and similar sites.
The videos load up and play with no problems, but if the view is shifted away from the video (e.g. scrolling down the page so the video is no longer visible or switching to another tab or window), after a little while (up to a few minutes) the audio from the video stops and, upon returning to the video window, the video has been replaced with a light grey rectangle. The problem seems to be different from others described here since the videos themselves are running with no problem until the view shifts away from them. Flash-based chat applications have the same problem.
I'm running Firefox 3.6.15 in Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick). All systems updated repeatedly, as far as I know the problem has existed forever. The issue doesn't seem to exist in Chromium, interestingly (but I prefer Firefox...)
Any suggestions on diagnostics to try to find the cause and solution?
I want to track the number of requests that a file gets downloaded and viewed.
What I have is mp4 files on the server and they could either get played in flash player or downloaded via mobile or whatever.
I need to see how many times that files gets downloaded or viewed. Since its in a php page I am able to track the number of views. But I want to able to track the direct downloads.
I was thinking something along the lines of htaccess redirect to php then to file.
But that would mess up the player from playing the file I would think. I am not sure how to make that happen with the htaccess either though.
I'm running apache2 on Hardy and Karmic machines. I converted some .flv's to .wmv's using VLC and embedded them in my index.html file. Now, when I go to view them from Vista machines (32 or 64, IE or Firefox), they look compressed or skinny like this: [URL] When viewed on other Ubuntu or XP machines, they look fine.
After installation process, booting my laptop to get the welcome screen of Slackware, the system boot normally but it never show me the welcome screen, the PC turn to a Black screen and don't do anything, i was think that can be the resolution configured, and i change this in LILO after change this parameter in the lilo by command prompt, it was compilated and i reboot my PC.
When sending an HTML formatted email with KMail and viewing this email on an MS Exchange Outlook client, all the empty lines are removed. This appears to be a known issue (KMail & HTML. - KDE Community Forums), but I was hoping anyone here knows a workaround for this....?
This is REALLY annoying when using KMail in a business setting, since emails look embarrassing on a customer's email client (which is in 99% of the cases Outlook, I'm afraid).
I want to take a snapshot of a web page (at regular intervals) and use it as background for the desktop.What about kwebdesktop? Is it still maintained?
I have Windows on sda1 and just installed Slackware on sda2. There also is a hda data drive, which usually appears first on drive lists. During installation, LILO gave an error (I tried installing both to MBR and root, both times the error was about something like "root: (N6").
Then I did the following
-boot with installation cd -hugesmp.s root=/dev/sda2 rdinit= ro -login
I have searched online with no success. The brightness control is working fine on my laptop. Problem is that the bars don't get rendered on screen. Instead I get like a static white line on screen everytime I press the brightness control. On boot however, I can see the correct bars. It is once I start my xsession, the bars do not show up. Here are my specs:
Im using FF 3.5.2 and Slackware 12.2. On certain web pages, for instance www.slackware.com, Firefox doesnt display the background image, but instead displays multiple images of the tool bar of Firefox. It doesnt matter if I change the settings to allow third part cookies or if I tell Firefox to get images automatically. When using Konqueror, the web-site(s) appear normal.
I select GLSlideshow in the KDE system settings, but there is no option to choose what folder I want to use. I have to open xscreensaver to do this. However, I don't want certain sub-folders being used and I can't seem to be able to blacklist those folders.
I just installed GNOME SlackBuild and it just errors on no xclients file and drops me in to fail safe mode where do I get an xclients file ?ORhow do I make one ?
I'm very new to Linux, and I have ran a Windows XP server before, with a Apache2 Server software for Windows. and didn't have any problems with it, but I really want to set this server up with Linux.
The server is running, but the only thing that comes up in the browser, is the html pages, the pages call all the images from a folder /images/ but for some reason I can't get it to pull the folder up. None of the graphics show on any of the pages.
I also have a VirtualHost setup, and have another website set up in the DocumentRoot with the 2nd site, but it won't come up ether, even tho it is listed as the 2nd VirtualHost, and have that folder set up as the DocumentRoot.
I'm just using IP Addresses for now till I get this all sorted out.So if I enter the IP the main page comes up, just no graphics. if I enter the IP Address/2ndSiteFolder/ I get a directory listing with the 2nd site folder listed, so now if I click on the 2ndSiteFolderName, it comes up as IP/2ndSiteFolder/2ndSiteFolder/ Now the 2nd site comes up, and so does all the Graphics for that site, even if I go to some of the other subfolders site. So its just weird. I don't know what I need to do to get this to work right.
I know it has to do with setting up the folders for VirtualHost, I just don't know what it is. I have been working on this for a week, and I'm not getting anywhere..
