<0> BTW suspend2 hibernate could help me not close all conversations
<0> appreciate if anyone familiar with thjis too
<1> question: just installed fc3 (dev environment) with the gui. Would like to disable loading kdm/gdm etc. Which file do I edit to boot into the terminal without loading a gui first?
<2> Mawze_, /etc/inittab or your /etc/grub.conf
<3> RedHat graphical boot can be found in the grub.conf
<2> Mawze_, easiest is the grub.conf. You can try this if you are using the grub boot menu. Highlight the Linux kernel you want to boot and add "3" (without quotes) to the boot command line
<2> That will send you to runlevel 3
<3> If you want a raw terminal on login instead of graphical login try changing your runlevel
<3> *default runlevel
<2> Pressing A at grub boot menu will be temporary
<2> If you want it more permanently (default) in grub, simply edit /etc/grub.conf so that the boot line has the 3
<4> What package do I need to turn a .tex into a pdf?
<2> Note that by default the boot line has no indication of desired runlevel (there is no 5 by default) because it looks in /etc/inittab for this default
<2> cds, OpenOffice can do it if you already have that installed
<2> Writer, that is
<4> Openoffice is a piece of bloated crap that I won't touch with a bargepole.
<2> heh
<4> What's the latex solution?
<2> I am not sure about official FC packages, but I think there is a tool called txt2pdf (there is a whole series like this)
<4> What package are these in?
<4> Isn't there tex2dvi and dvi2pdf?
<3> What's wrong with OOo?
<2> cds, have a look at this: http://www.sanface.com/txt2pdf.html
<4> merethan: I think the question you're after is "what's right with OOo".
<2> Technically, the problem here is GU/Linux or does Adobe make/plan to make Acrobat for Linux?
<2> :P
<1> thanks
<4> Sombrero: Hm?
<2> So, touch Windows with a bargepole if you "love" PDF
<5> KDE printing has a PDF Printer
<5> it also has a LaTeX editor
<4> PDF is a format that can be read by anything.
<5> *shrug*
<2> Well, I don't think you can beat the genuine Acrobat if you want to make PDF files.
<3> OOo is just like MS Office a tool wich everybody can use, and does not improve your skills like Vi does. But all other stuff is ok to me
<4> Word and OOo are bloated pieces of crap that crash every 10 minutes.
<3> here it does not
<4> I have a tex file I made with vim.
<2> So, I would argue that OpenOffice is certainly good enough if you are not willing to pay for the genuine Acrobat or Distiller
<4> I want to make it pdf.
<3> If you are serious about that I suggest you should check your RAM dimms
<5> *cough* kde printing *cough*
<4> Two reasons I don't use OOo/KDE printing:
<2> go for the KDE printing. Sounds like a sweet deal
<4> 1) I want it commandline.
<4> 2) I like vim.
<4> 3) I want it commandline.
<4> 4) I hate OOo.
<6> dvipdf
<2> so txt2pdf is probably to your liking.
<4> Where is it, though?
<5> cds, i think KDE supports commandline. i'm pretty sure it does. i'm sure vim could pipe stuff to the command (which i think is kprint, don't quote me)
<5> i use Gnome 2.14 personally, so i can't test for you
<4> daq4th: How do I get the dvi?
<7> hi
<7> my value for 1 openbasedir is: php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/vhosts/awillys.com/httpdocs/"
<8> cds: yum provides dvi2pdf or something similar
<7> how can i add a second folderplease?
<5> i think i heard on the grapevine (ie. remember something from recent geek news) that cups now has a pdf printer
<9> hi, any recommendations for a good GUI subversion client?
<5> again, no expert. :)
<4> Ok.
<4> Let me get this straight...
<4> Sending through a printer is not practical.
<4> The question I asked was how I convert a .tex (A LaTeX file) to a pdf.
<4> Not "How do I make a PDF?"
<10> howdy
<4> I am fully aware that OOo will save as PDF.
<4> I don't want that.
<5> cds, oh. i guess i should have read the whole thread.
<5> sorry.
<2> cds, how about pdflatex? I am not familiar with latex at all so...
<10> I've got 2 realtek nics
<8> cds: pdflatex
<10> when I load the driver, only one of them comes to life
<4> Sombrero: again, I don't know what package it's in :)
<10> what shall I do?
<8> cds: yum provides already
<4> Aha, the package I installed has it.
<8> cds: am i on ignore?
<0> DO NOT PASTE MORE THAN 4 LINES INTO CHANNEL, use an online pastebin like http://rafb.net/paste/ :
<2> cds, you have yum installed, right? I'd ***ume it is called pdflatex and you need tetex as well ( I think)
<4> torbjorn: You're on mental ignore for saying "yum provides".
<9> hi, any recommendations for a good GUI subversion client?
<8> righto
<8> here's a freebee:
<8> $ rpm -qf `which pdflatex`
<8> tetex-latex-3.0-17
<2> cds, I just ran a "yum search pdf" and it spewed out pages...this is what I saw with a quick glance
<4> Sombrero: That's what I did, too.
<4> Someone on another channel helped me.
<2> Maybe there are even better suited options for you
<8> note any figures will need to be jpg instead of eps
<11> nir_ai, try viewvc
<2> he's converting txt
<12> if I never want the power manager to do anything is there a way I can disable it?
<8> he said latex to pdf?
<8> .tex implied a latex file i could only ***ume
<13> Is there a graphical package manager for fedora?
<14> yumex
<14> pirut
<13> yum install yumex ? :)
<14> indeed
<13> what exactly does yum do when it sort of lists up updates-released, extras, base and they're all at 100% and primary.xml.gz is parsed or something?
<14> ?
<13> when doing a yum install before actually getting the package it either parses or retrieves some lists .. as far as i understand .. ?
<13> "Added 571 new packages, deleted 668 old.." amongst others
<15> Yum uses FM Atinus. "Fine Magic"
<13> pixiedust
<15> Yum does need to handle bad mirrors a little better. It get's pretty hosed sometimes.
<13> opsec: that yum install didn't work out it choked when trying to get headers
<14> define "choked"
<13> lots of http headers
<14> yum clean all && yum install yumex
<15> Sometimes I have to edit the .repos files and comment out the "mirror" line and just use a good baseurl.
<15> Yep opsec clean all helps too sometimes. F.I.S.O.
<16> Can someone tell me the command to view my install.log with the rescue disk when it boots?
<14> chroot /mnt/sysimage
<14> nano /root/install.log
<16> Cool, thanks
<12> if I never want the power manager to do anything is there a way I can disable it?
<17> reflous, thats been plaguing me too !
<17> disable it in bios for starters
<16> ok i viewed my install log, and everything looks fine, what should i be looking for?
<14> what power manager?
<16> huh?
<12> opsec, the stuff that turns your monitor off and stuff
<12> if I'm not using raid is there any reason to have mdmonitor service on ?
<16> im on a fresh install, and it will not boot...
<16> The install log all says "installed" execpt for 2 one is an I/O warning the other is a "failed to open" any ideas?
<18> Fodora got any support for GigaByte wireless card?
