GTK Mozilla
by James Green 27 Jul '99

27 Jul '99

Hi all, I'm trying to make mozilla (nightly build) see libpixmap.so for the gtk+ themes engines. On startup, however, it just says that the file isn't found. I've tried symlinks from the cwd and /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib to the file/directory, to no avail. I've even run an strace on it but it doesn't mention getting that particular file. All other gtk apps work fine with the themes. Any ideas? James.

My three choices of books..
by Martyn B. Drake 22 Jul '99

22 Jul '99

With regards to the generous offer from SAMS Publishing, I'm going to recommend the following books for the group: 1) Linux: A Network Solution for Your Office (published July, 26th) - Sounds like a good book for those considering Linux in their business 2) Teach Yourself Linux in 24 Hours (published in June) - A good book for beginners and comes with the Caldera 2.2 distribution that includes a cut-down version of PartitionMagic and BootMagic 3) Linux Unleashed, Third Edition (published August 1998) - A good all-rounder and includes a copy of RedHat 5.1 Let me know what you're opinions of the above are, and if all is agreed, I'll relay these choices over to Don at SAMS Publishing.

Themes for E?
by John Woodard 17 Jul '99

17 Jul '99

I've downloaded some themes for E and have some obscure errors appear when I try to use them. I get messages like: ****************** Warning: unable to determine what to do with the following text in the middle of current Text Definition: (or WindowMatch) _FILL RULE _SCALE (this is sometimes blank) will ignore and continue... ****************** There are 3 choices ignore, exit, and restart window manager. Selecting ignore brings up similar errors and the theme tries to start but only partially loads? I'm stumped anybody know what is causing this?

Book picking..
by Martyn B. Drake 16 Jul '99

16 Jul '99

Just to clarify folks, that the list given in the original message is that of books that are currently in production - i.e. they are not available yet. If you visit www.mcp.com and look under the Operating Systems -> Linux section, you'll see a list of published books - take your pick from that list.

Fwd: SAMs Publishing
by Martyn B. Drake 16 Jul '99

16 Jul '99

Hello folks, Some *very* interesting news here all the way from the USA :) SAMS publishing (who publish those meaty tomes on all sorts of computer-related stuff - I remember my SAMS HTML and CGI book with fond memories) have approached me with the offer of three free SAMS books as well as the opportunity for anybody here to become a technical editor or contributing author to their Linux series. As you can see below, there is quite some choice of titles they're working on :) If anyone is interesting in the group obtaining these books - and perhaps would like to offer suggestions of what we're going to do with them when (and if) we get them, then take a look a www.mcp.com and we'll take a vote on the most popular titles mentioned. I'll then ask Don about getting them and we'll take things from there. If anybody has a better plan, just let me know :) Anyway, on to the message:- >From: "Don Roche" <droche(a)integrityonline32.com> >To: <martyn(a)drake.org.uk> >Subject: SAMs Publishing >Date: Wed, 14 Jul 1999 19:12:20 -0500 >X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) >Importance: Normal >X-MDaemon-Deliver-To: martyn(a)drake.org.uk >X-Return-Path: droche(a)integrityonline32.com > >Hi Martyn, > > >I would like to send you 3 free Linux books for you to give away at your >next meeting.

Administrivia: Digest bug

Another digest bug has been laid to rest. Messages should now appear in the digest in the same order as they appeared on the main list. (Slight logic error in the sort function used.) Another bug is laid to rest.
