This morning I was offered an Epson someone was discarding and that works fine. Best Regards Nick Daniels

Still confused about my printer fonts
by Chris Green 27 Nov '04

27 Nov '04

I'm still very lost on the printer fonts front. I've been playing with different applications under KDE and Kword for example can print in a number of fonts. In particular it gives me a series of Bitstream Vera fonts and Luxi fonts to choose from. Plus it gives me Serif and Sans Serif which are actually just aliases for the Bitstream Vera ones. However the application I want to use, knoda, which is a KDE applicatioa,n only presents me with five fonts and in reality four out of the five actually print Courier and the fifth (Serif) is the only one which prints anything presentable. Can anyone suggest what might be going on here? By the way I have rebuilt knoda from the source and it behaves exactly the same as the Slackware .tgz package that I originally installed. -- Chris Green (chris(a)areti.co.uk) "Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence."

SSH secure login problem
by C Neil Bauers 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

I have been lurking here for a while wondering what this group is all about and suddenly I've got a problem where you might be able to help. I am trying to do passive ftp file transfers tunelled over an SSH secure login. I am running vsftpd on a SuSE 8.1 box. I can do ssh logins to this box. Normal ftp works fine. OpenSSH appears to be installed and running. I can do sftp to localhost if logged into the console or via an SSH connection. I am using Macromedia MX on Windoze to create the files I want to transfer. I have read the manual and followed their instructions to install putty.exe and plink.exe. Things seem to be nearly working but I am clearly missing a step or two. When I try to upload a file, I'm prompted to do the ssh login. After that the ftp transfer fails. I think the SuSE box is misconfigured but I have failed to google up a solution. I suspect I'm failing to understand something deep so I'm searching google for the wrong stuff. Any ideas? Neil.

Hi I have a Canon BJC1000 running under Suse 9.1, this printer has worked O.K. on all Suse distros since Suse 7.0 (and other distros) However on Suse 9.1 the pages are being printed in "half width" A4. Have I overlooked anything obvious? Regards Nick Daniels

This may be a rather silly question, but have you run xorgconfig, or did you just use the setting of xorg which arises at the end of the install? -- John Seago Linux User #219566 (http://counter.li.org) AFFS http://www.affs.org.uk/
