openoffice and user installed truetype fonts
by Mark Fonnemann
Hello-
i'm trying to use a user installed truetype font under openoffice.. this is
what i did:
mkdir /usr/local/fonts/ttf
cp * /usr/local/fonts/ttf
cd /usr/local/fonts/ttf
ttmkfdir > fonts.scale
mkfontdir
chkfontpath -a /usr/local/fonts/ttf
this worked i.e. the palatino font (pala.ttf, palai.ttf, palab.ttf, and
palabi.ttf) and the garamond font (gara.ttf, garab.ttf, and garabi.ttf)
displayed text correctly and they both showed up under the font menu in
openoffice. but now, after upgrading to openoffice.org-1.1.1-5, the text is not
being rendered correctly and under the font menu, palatino appears only as (i'm
guessing) a printer font (it has a little printer icon next to it). garamond
does not appear whatsoever in the menu.
did i forget to do something to make this work correctly? or, is this a problem
with openoffice.org-1.1.1-5. i'm sorry for not providing more debugging info
but i'm not exactly sure what i should provide. any help would be greatly
appreciated..
thanks again,
mark. :-)
p.s. please no personal attacks. :-)

It should be using MesaGL software render not restarting however.
I am using 16bpp color and it restarts the desktop. I have MesaGL
installed. I can run ZSNES ( super nintendo emulator) running at
1024x768 full screen using opengl but thats it. Anything else that I try
(using full screen) will restart the desktop, or a game like Return to
Castle Wolfenstein (Linux version, minimum requirements p2 450 128MG
ram) will restart the desktop.

Thinkpad X40 and xorg-6.7.0-3
by Giuseppe Castagna
Dear List,
I have installed FC2 on my ThinkPad X40. Most of the features work
fine out-of-the-box apart from video, which has some annoying problems.
The machine uses an Intel 82852/855GM integrated graphic device. I have
tried standard FC2, changed color depths, upgraded to custom kernels and
Arjan's builds as well as to the xorg version in fedora update-testing
(6.7.0-3): the problems persist.
The first noticeable problem is that whenever I close the laptop lid
and reopen it the upper part of the screen (about half of the size of
the gnome panel) gets corrupted since the image is shifted down of the
corresponding space. This is not annoying since a simple ctrl-alt-F1
ctrl-alt-f7 sequence restores everything.
What is *really* annoying is that this corruption appears when I
switch to the external monitor as well (and the f1-f7 trick no longer
works since the image returns back on the LCD screen). This makes the
laptop not usable for presentations, which is one of the main uses of it
(I have to boot in WinXP to give a presentation).
Also (but this is a minor problem), when I try to use xv with mplayer
on the external monitor, the mplayer window is blue.
Does any of you have any suggestion on how I can overcome at least
the external monitor corruption problem? I attach my xorg.conf file.
Thanks in advance

su fails due to pam_selinux.so
by Jonathan Corbet
Silly me, I just did a rawhide update on my system. Now "su" fails, and
/var/log/messages shows:
Jun 7 13:55:13 bike su: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/$ISA/pam_selinux.so)
Jun 7 13:55:13 bike su: PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/../../lib64/security/pam_selinux.so:
undefined symbol: is_selinux_mls_enabled]
Jun 7 13:55:13 bike su: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/$ISA/pam_selinux.so
I do believe I'll go tweak my PAM config before I lose control of the
system entirely.
Anybody see anything that I might have done obviously wrong, or is this
just a bug?
Thanks,
jon

there is kernel-sourcecode-2.6.6-1.403. Will that replace the
kernel-source.

Re: Can't boot any kernel >394 after fresh install of FC2T3
by LDM
My apologies to Phil for the reference to FC2T3. I guess I had it on my
mind. It is, in fact, FC2. Thanks, also, for the advice on
investigating the cause of the failure to boot the newer kernels. I did
another fresh install today on another spare set of ext3 partitions and
following is the procedure and result.
Performed a fresh install from cdrom. Ran 'yum -y update' which updated
about 4 of the latest packages for FC2. Then changed yum to update from
the develoment tree and ran, again, 'yum -y update'. This time it
updated many packages and installed the newest kernel 2.6.6-1.422.i686.
Then rebooted, edited grub to remove the rhgb from the kernel line, and
let the boot continue. At the USB controller line is where it went south.
The below is the first glitch.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Initializing USB controller (ehci-hcd) Disabling IRQ 11
Initializing USB controller (ohci-hcd): FATAL could not open
'/lib/modules/2.6.6-1.422/kernel/drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.ko':
Input/output error
checking root filesystem
execvp: Input/output error
*** An error occurred during the filesystem check.
*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
*** when you leave the shell.
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 324: /sbin/sulogin
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/mingetty" ##### These two lines printed
INIT: cannot execute "/etc/X11/prefdm" ##### many times.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then came the respawning through all the runlevels. Many, many lines.
This is repeatable each time I follow the same procedure outlined
above. Thanks again for the help.

Can't boot any kernel >394 after fresh install of FC2T3
by LDM
I have been searching the list and can not resolve the issue of not
being able to boot any kernel greater than 2.6.6-1.394. The PC3 box and
the Athlon box both will get to the progress bar screen and after a
minute or so will go black and lockup. Today I did a fresh install of
FC2T3 from cdrom, then yum updated to the latest packages including
kernel-2.6.6-1.422. Same thing. I'm stumped.

About Bootsplash
by Antti Aspinen
Hello!
I'd like to add Bootsplash in to Fedora Core 3 so that it replaces RHGB.
Bootsplash feature is much better cause it is fuly themeable and looks
much, much more brittier. And also includes same features what are in
RHGB.
Is that possible to work out?

Odd font problem
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
My son's box has a clean install of vanilla FC2, but is using the dev
version of Evolution.
For some reason, while you can still read the emails, you can't see
anything in the From/Subject/Date columns. I remember seeing this under
FC1 as well.
Any ideas what it is caused by and how to fix it?
TTFN
