Linux

When I start Quanta as a regular user, it crashes. The output of the terminal is: jeltsch@michael-laptop:~> quanta QGDict::hashKeyString: Invalid null key Invalid entry (missing '=') at /opt/kde3/share/apps/quanta/doc/javascript.docrc:241 TagAction::property( "accel" ) failed: property invalid or does not exist TagAction::property( "accel" ) failed: property invalid or does not exist TagAction::property( "accel" ) failed: property invalid or does not exist jeltsch@michael-laptop:~> However, when started as root, things work OK, although the error messages are the same.

True Type fonts under Linux Font handling under Linux is quite a chaos. Here is how I added true type fonts to my Suse Linux 9. In the Control Center -> System Administration -> Font Installer you have to change into Administration mode -> Advanced Mode (with embedded font selector). Then I just selected the fonts I wanted from the fonts directory of my Windows XP partition and clicked Add. By clicking Apply the fonts become available to the X Windows Server.

grep (case-insensitive, recursive) grep doesn't offer any possibility to recursively descent down the directory tree. The following command searches e.g. just thru all the files in the current directory:

grep bacteria *

To make the search case-insensitive, one can use the i flag:

grep -i bacteria *

But if you want to do a recursive search you have to use a quite complicated construction of UNIX commands to achieve this goal:

find ~/Mail -type f -exec grep 'bacteria' {} \; -print
