This works correctly on SuSE 8.1 uname -a: Linux wahoo 2.4.19-4GB #1 Wed Nov 27 00:56:40 UTC 2002 i686 unknown BUT, also and cleaner, kill `pidof bm_srv12` also works, but I do not know about other ?nix versions. sorry bout the repost -- Patrick Shanahan Please avoid TOFU and trim >quotes< http://wahoo.no-ip.org Registered Linux User #207535 icq#173753138 @ http://counter.li.org Linux, a continuous *learning* experience

Bookmarks

by Lars Clausen

Are there any plans to reintroduce a bookmarks menu? Any patches for it? While the page looks nifty for the editing, I really don't like getting an extra bookmark page into my history stack every time I want to go to a bookmark. In other news: Yay! Cut-and-paste! One of my main reasons to use other browsers is now gone! Thanks!

Re: [Dillo-dev] Some thoughts

by Andreas Schweitzer

Hi, Just a comment on one of your plans : > Appart from that, I still have to finish the design of dpi > initialization, addition, managing etc. (needed to support > several dpis at the same time). I think this will be important, since it kept me somewhat from playing with dpi's. I did some experiments, but an automatic dpi initilization makes coding much easier. And I have the feeling others think the same :-) Something like dpi:/foo/ starts the dpi foo[possible-extra-name-part] from some location like $PATH or some other "repository". And dpi:/foo/command passes "command" to the dpi foo. Just some rambling :-) Cheers, Andreas -- **************************** NEW ADDRESS ****************************** Hamburger Sternwarte Universitaet Hamburg Gojenbergsweg 112 Tel. ++49 40 42891 4016 D-21029 Hamburg, Germany Fax. ++49 40 42891 4198

I'm just not sure how portable that is in general. Quite less portable is killall (which does not even exist on OpenBSD), but on FreeBSD it has an -u for user option. I.e. "killall -u andy bm_srv12" will do it, but only on FreeBSD :-( Cheers, Andreas -- **************************** NEW ADDRESS ****************************** Hamburger Sternwarte Universitaet Hamburg Gojenbergsweg 112 Tel. ++49 40 42891 4016 D-21029 Hamburg, Germany Fax. ++49 40 42891 4198

dillo-0.7.1 (fwd)

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2003 12:40:31 -0300 (BRT) From: Frank Hrebabetzky <frankh(a)terra.com.br> To: jcid(a)softhome.net Subject: dillo-0.7.1 I folks, It is just to tell you that it is really a decent piece of software that you have written. It is lean, fast and free. For web browsing and writing of simple html texts, I use mozilla. But I was looking for a reader for documentation written in html, and loading mozilla takes far too long for that. So - congratulations. Should you ever decide to inflate dillo to a full fledged web browser, stuffed with all kind of gizmos, please keep offering a small, fast version such as the actual one.

Re: [Dillo-dev] Unix domain sockets

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi there! Thanks Phil (Pennock) for your answer on Unix domain sockets. I kept cosidering the alternatives, and apart from the UDS idea (not feasible), the incomplete "bye" command, there's also another option! kill `ps -U <USER> | grep bm_srv12 | sed 's/^ *//g' | cut -d' ' -f1` That is, issued from dillo to force the shut down of a running bookmark server. For instance: if the user is "jcid" then a: kill `ps -U jcid | grep bm_srv12 | sed 's/^ *//g' | cut -d' ' -f1` solves the problem. Obviously, the definitive solutions need a well defined design (which I'm currently studying, BTW is a bit like JINI). The point is: Does this command work well on *BSDs, and Solaris? If that command can bring a running server down, we're done! Andreas: please give it a try. If, let's say, tomorrow I have some feedback, I'd commit a version that includes the command and 0.7.2 would be scheduled for release on Friday, so Phil B. can pack a .deb that's ready at announce time. Cheers Jorge.-

I did not use xfs, was that the problem? Mozilla and xchat support Vera nevertheless. Now i run xfs Dillo and xlsfonts do find Vera, too. I use the gentoo-ebuild-dillo, which is currently Dillo 0.7.1, hm i miss the select function i think i will compile the new version now :) > If you can't see the fontname in the output of xlsfonts, then it's not > a Dillo issue and you'll need to chase down the problem elsewhere; > package installer, xfstt settings, "xset q" output (the "fp" stuff for > fontpath), and various other things.

Yes, I'm using it now. > I tried to add this in the dillorc > vw_fontname="Bitstream Vera Sans" vw_fontname="bitstream vera sans" The name should match the output from xlsfonts(1). I'm not sure if it's case-sensitive, but I can confirm that the line above, lower-case, works for me. Run: xlsfonts | fgrep -i vera | less If that doesn't show anything, you haven't yet got your X server able to see the fonts. If you're using xfstt, be sure to run "xfstt --sync" after installation. If you can't see the fontname in the output of xlsfonts, then it's not a Dillo issue and you'll need to chase down the problem elsewhere; package installer, xfstt settings, "xset q" output (the "fp" stuff for fontpath), and various other things. If you can see the fontname in xlsfonts and it doesn't work for you in Dillo, then pass; I'm using Dillo 0.7.2-pre from some time in the past three weeks or so and can supply library linkage on request, if it'll help track the problem down.
