Strange screen cause the system to hang during boot

Posted: 04 Apr 2004 02:04 PM PDT

rodsbooks.com (Rod Smith) wrote in message news:<rodsbooks.com>... 

The screen display: "Localhost login" in textmode. It clears and comes
up again 3 times and clears and then I get the strange text mode
window with a light blue background. and a dark blue smaller window.
In the darkblue rectangel there is two smaller rectangels with text
gibberish on black bakground inside. (What I called buttons).
It's my first try with Linux so I dont know how the graphical login
window is supposed to look?
 

I did some google and by means of adding a 3 in the startup sequency I
managed to boot up linux in text mode. Then the computer stopped at
the text "localhost login:" and after that it's not possible to do
nothing. I tried the Ctrl-Alt-F1 hovever nothing happens. Maybe as you
say it's problem with the keyboard?

Since the computer doesn't have any original USB card there is a PCI
usb card installed. Maybe this causing problem for linux? During boot
sequensy linux say that it's installing USB keyboard and USB mouse, so
therefore it causing the system to hang or maybe not only takes
command from the keyboard at the login prompt?

Thanks in advance for any help. This is my first try with Linux.
Everybody say it's great! However I got problem so therefore I doubt
that? Shall I restore good old Windows 98 again? ;-) But normally I
never give up when it comes to computers and since I still think that
Linux is the future.

Importing WingDings font into Open Office

Posted: 04 Apr 2004 12:08 PM PDT

In article <co.uk>,
Maurice Batey <co.uk> writes: 

The easiest ways to do it is to copy the font from a Windows
installation. For instance, if you dual- boot Windows, and if Windows is
accessible as /mnt/c, and if the OpenOffice.org fonts are in
/opt/OpenOffice.org/share/fonts/truetype/, then you could copy the font
by typing "cp /mnt/c/windows/fonts/wingding.ttf
/opt/OpenOffice.org/share/fonts/truetype". Alternatively, you can use the
oopadmin utility to install the font by selecting it in a file selector.
 

My guess is that OpenOffice.org is able to fall back on X core fonts for
display purposes, and you've got Dingbats installed as an X core font.
When printing, though, it can't do that, so you get the wrong font.
Another possibility is a bug related to non-alphabetic fonts specifically.
These are both just guesses, though. Ultimately, the best solution is to
install the font(s) you want in the OpenOffice font directory.

Fedora installation and J2SDK1.4

Posted: 04 Apr 2004 03:55 AM PDT

This is the installation description I refer to.
http://www.fedora.info/release/1.2/userdocs/distribution/installation.html#d
0e207
It is a bit unclear and informal.
By the way, it suggests to configure the environment variable before the
first start of the server.
How can I do it under windows environment?

As it stands, hda4 is sitting on cylinder 4852 and acts as a wall
preventing you from extending your hda3 (Ext'd) partition beyond that
point. If you don't mind blowing away hda4 and are sure there's nothing
in there that needs to be saved, do it. Then delete and re-create your
Extended partition (hda3) and its contents, leaving the last cylinder
for the new hda4.

It strikes me as a lot of work to gain less than 1/4 of 1% of your total
disk capacity. If it were my system, I certainly wouldn't bother.

Linux on SGI O2 ?

I thought the O2's debuted with R10K procs; but I could be wrong. I've

The problem with the Ebay route is that it's not technically "ok" as far
as SGI's license is concerned. And while I think the O2 had some pretty
good graphics capability, you do not get that without forking over the
cash. Plain and simple, if you're going to run Irix you're going to pay
even if you're just goofing around to learn it.

Which, I guess makes as good a case for installing Linux on it than
anything else.

dual boot Fedora / Mandrake

Posted: 02 Apr 2004 03:22 AM PST

On Fri, 02 Apr 2004 13:22:08 +0200, Patrick Guio wrote:
 

Sharing swap is no problem at all. Sharing /tmp is cool, too, though I
recommend setting both fedora and mandrake to clear out /tmp on boot just
as a precaution.

As for sharing /home, I don't like doing it when I dual- or multi-boot.
Here's why: /home/username/ contains a bunch of hidden files (files
prefixed with '.' type ps -a in the directory to see them) with
configuration and customization info for many of the apps you use. If
Mandrake and Fedora use different versions of some apps, the hidden file
for that app may need to be different for each. If this is the case, and
you use the same partition for /home on both OSes, then your configuration
files for several apps could be all messed up.

Some apps like gimp are very good about seperating such things. My home
directory currently has a .gimp-1.2 directory and a .gimp-2.0 directory.
If you aren't sure that both fedora and mandrake will use the same version
of everything, or that all the apps you plan to use are as good as gimp in
this respect, then I wouldn't use the same /home on both. What I would do,
so that you don't need 2 copies of every file you may want to use, is to
mount fedora's /home to some other arbitrary mount point like /otherhome
on mandrake and vice versa.

In order for this to work properly (or if you intend to use the same /home
in both) you need to make sure that each user has the exact same number on
each OS. This is because GNU/Linux only gives users names to make life
easier for us humans. GNU/Linux really only uses the numbers to keep
track of users, then uses the names when communicating with humans. So,
if illecebra is user 501 on Mandrake, but user 1001 on Fedora, then any
files I make on Fedora won't be accessible to me from Mandrake (unless
set so all can rwx). 501 is a different person than 1001 as far as
GNU/Linux is concerned, even if they have the same name.

Hope that helps,

Susan

Selecting gradient fill for text of certain fonts makes the text disappear

Posted: 16 Dec 2012 11:50 AM PST

Suddenly I've noticed that the text of certain fonts has stopped working in my Word 2010.

The text of these fonts (Helvetica and Proxima Nova) suddenly disappear after I change their colour fill to gradient. I can see the text sometimes when resizing, but then when I select the size, they disappear again. I can select text, but can't actually see it. It happens in both text boxes and when I type to the actual document itself.

Does anyone know what I could do to fix this? The problem has just suddenly happened when it was working fine for years before.

I've tried the repair function in control panel, but the bar gets so far (about 50%) and won't go any further. I've left it for a few hours and the bar hasn't progressed any further.

I would appreciate any assistance give to me to fix this problem I have.

Thank you.

Installing Office Prof. Edition 2003?

Posted: 14 May 2004 10:46 PM PDT

Do you have any disks for the Office installations on your other computers?
The OEMs should have provided you with the installation disks - when you try
to install Office 2003 and it asks for your previous qualifying version,
just plop in the old disk, point the installation to it, and you should be
good to go.

2. It is corrupted.

So, the options to resolve the issue are:

1. Clean the CD and try the installation again. OR
2. Copy all the files from the CD to a folder on the Hard disk and try the installation from there OR
3. Run the installation from another Office 2000 setup CD.

Office Professional for Windows 95

Posted: 11 May 2004 10:14 PM PDT

If you have MS Office v7/95 then the yellow sticker should show 11 digits along with the "CD Key" words and there wouldn't be any
product activation.

If you have Office 2000 or later you're installing you would have 25 digits.

Are you sure that the CD you're using and the program that's popping up are all from the same version? Check in Add/Remove Programs
in the Windows control panel to see what Microsoft Office applications and versions are listed.

Automatically Opening Images in WORD from Another File

Posted: 21 Dec 2012 06:53 AM PST

I have a large WORD document - a book manuscript - that has some 250 illustrations.  I originally inserted these images into the WORD document, but it became too large for WORD to open.  I saved it but could not open it.  I solved this problem by removing many images and placing them in a separate file.

I can create a hyperlink to the images in this file but it shows as underlined blue text.  When I click on this hyperlink, it opens the file with Adobe Fireworks.

How can I code the hyperlink so that it opens in the document as I open a page and then disappears when I go to the next page.  I need to be able to see the illustration when I am looking at the particular page, but want only the hyperlink in the WORD document to keep the size small enough to save and open in WORD.

Thanks very much!

Word 2013, Use and purpose of "Show Comments?"

Posted: 20 Dec 2012 08:24 PM PST

In Word 2013 on the Review Tab>Comments Group, there is a contol labled "Show Comments."  On my PC it is dimmend and I've tried everything that I can think of to enable this contol and (I guess) toggle contents between shown and hidden comments.

 

When I insert a comment, they are either shown in a ballon on the right side of the document or inline depending on my setting in Review>Tracking>Show Mark-up>Balloons.

What is the purpose of this control?  How is it activated?  What determines when it is active or disabled?

 

how do I change footnote-reference font without changing footnote font

Posted: 20 Dec 2012 06:46 PM PST

When I did a "select-all" inside the footer containing footnotes, it selected all footnotes plus all of the footnote reference numbers. Thus when I modified the font for footnotes, it also changed the footnote-reference which I did not want to do. How can I modify just footnote-reference numbers without effecting footnote fonts?

word 2010 freezes and crashes while saving

Posted: 20 Dec 2012 08:41 AM PST

After I have been working on a document in Word 2010, the program simply freezes up, and the computer will not respond at all.  Then I have to turn off the computer manually and pray that AutoSave will have done its job.  WHY???

Working on Word documents, if I try various tasks, Word crashes with "win32 exception" message

Posted: 20 Dec 2012 01:53 AM PST

While working on any Word document, if I try various tasks like setting margins, printing the document, or saving it as a pdf, Word crashes and I get a message: "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in WINWORD.EXE[--number--]. No installed debugger has Just-in-Time debugging enabled. In Visual Sudio, Just-In-Time debugging can be enabled from Tools/Options/Debugging/Just-In-Time".
I don't have Visual Studio.
I have tried scanning with Windows Defender and my Panda anti-virus software; found two viruses, one a Trojan, removed them, but the problem has not gone away.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft Office (I am using a trial version of Office Professional Plus), I have tried a repair of Office 2013 from "Programmes and Features". I have used "CCleaner". Nothing helps!

Templates in Word

Posted: 17 Dec 2012 08:45 PM PST

Hi all,

I'm using Word 2010 with Windows 7, 64-bit. One year ago I wrote a manual in Word 2007 for a company. Last week, they needed to re-purpose the manual, that is, make a copy of it, edit it, and then send it to me for a final edit. So here's the document's path in the past year:

1- Designed on my computer using Windows XP, Word 2007, and the Normal template. (Clarification -- I just upgraded my system to the one mentioned earlier back in the fall.)

2- The document (written in Windows XP, Word 2007, and the Normal template) is sent to my client, edited, and then sent back to me.

3- The client loads it on their computers and performs their edits. They use Word 2010 and three engineers add coments.

4- They save it as a .docx file (the same as the orginal), and then send it back.

5- I make a copy to work on. (I never work on orginal docs, just in case of a major error.)

6- The copied document is loaded on my new computer (Word 2010 with Windows 7 64-bit) for editing.

 

Problem -- When I scroll through the document, the pictures and tables become segmented, that is, table rows split up and "hang" on the display appearing as though they've been duplicated. It gets worse the more I scroll. When I close the document and re-open it, all's well. The data is intact, but the same thing happens. The document is not workable.

 

My solution -- I opened the copied document (remember -- this is the one the client edited) but saved it as an .rtf file. Now when I open the .rtf file, it's workable and the problem has pretty much gone away.

 

My thoughts --  Did my document pick up some template anomaly from the client's Word versions? Can shared documents between several computers undergo template layering, that is, where two or more templates combine?

 

Between this problem and Microsoft's pathetic bullet and numbered list style issues, I'm ready to tear out my hair! The whole world needs to move over to FrameMaker! End of rant. Many thanks in advance.

 

- Lee

I am not sure which file contains those information, but I checked
/var/log/boot.log and /var/log/messages. The only thing failed when
shutdown is "gpm shutdown failed". I don't know what gpm is, but I
don't think this is related, because it was also there on successful
shutdowns. On booting up, again, nothing looks strange.

If it stuck on "unmounting file systems", chances are, the log files are
no longer available to record any errors in.

How to boot Fedora from XP NTLoader?

Posted: 31 Mar 2004 07:33 PM PST

Thanks for all the advices and help. Really appreciate them a lot.

Few days ago when I did this installation, it took about 1 hour. The
system works out of the box. It correctly detected my video card, LAN
card, even my thumb drive works out of the box. It's really amazing
how good Linux is now!

So, I decided to reinstall Fedora, because I haven't done any
customisation, it's still in the fresh install state. And I also want
to learn to do it right from the start.

It's very slightly more fun. A file can easily and is frequently
"hard-linked", so a change in one file means a change to the other and so
that deleting one file does not delete the other. A directory can be
"hard-linked", but this tends to break a *LOT* and is almost never done.

Instead, in many cases, a "symbolic link" is used. When you get a detailes
listing of the file, it looks like:

filename -> directoryname/otherfilename

If you read the link, you read the contents of the other file. But you can
do this with a directory as well, and this is often used when you want two
directories to point to the same location. (In RedHat Linux, /etc/init.d is
a symbolic link to /etc/rc.d/init.d so that scripts using either location
will still work.)

When you do this, if you have the symbolic link pointing back *up* by even
one directory, you guarantee that stuff that follows that symbolic link down
is going to start recursing. So you can put a link in "/tmp/tmp" that
actually links to "/tmp".

Now try doing "cp -r /tmp ~/tmp", and watch the recursion go nutso and
create ~/tmp, ~/tmp/tmp, ~/tmp/tmp/tmp, etc.

20 basic Linux newbie commands to identify the system

Posted: 31 Mar 2004 04:26 PM PST

I believe it was mike who said... 

None...it just works. Just like on a Mac or Windows.
 

None... just supply your gateway and DNS information like on any other
system.
 

Just plug it in like any other system.
 

No, we dont get your point. You dont have a point... only FUD.

Damn I had forgotten about it. Thax a bunch !

I got a little problem setting it up though :

On the server,
I created the export file to the right directory.
then ran the nfs daemon, (checked it, it is running)

On the client,
My kernel supports nfs.
I created in (clientside of course) the /etc/fstab the following line :
hermes.maison:/home/multimedia /mnt/multimedia nfs rw 0 0

but, when I issue the mount -a command, I get :
mount: RPC: system error on host target - Connexion refused


I must have overlooked something....

Your suggestions please ?

Are you sure that's where you want to install lilo? You need a second

As Michael Heim mentions, upgrade lilo, RH7.2 has an old version.

partition problem (partition table issue)

Good idea, but it isn't particulary useful at this junction for him.
 

Huh, he wants to recover data, not destroy it. The fs exists and may be
fine, he needs to recreate the partition table. mkfs will remove the
directory structure, it also has nothing to do with creating partitions.
 

Useful in case of an accidental mkfs, not for a missing/corrupt
partition table.
 

Whether he does or not doesn't matter, this isn't COLA.

And please don't top post.

There are programs out there that will attempt to reconstruct your
partition table. If you can get back into linux, man lilo [-U]
I'm unsure if boot.0300 contains partition table or not.

If the only critical data is on the Fat16 partition and it was
/dev/hda1, use fdisk to recreate the partition so it is larger than what
you had before. Back up data and fdisk, do a

dd if=dev/zero of=/dev/hda1 bs=512 count=4

reboot and reformat. Windows will reformat to the previous size if you
don't zero the first sector even if you change the partition size.

If you need to get info off of other partitions you'll need to find the
start of the partitions and recreate a partition that starts there.
(before formatting of course.)

Good Luck and once you are back up and running implement a back up
policy.
