[Debian] DBDesigner4 the libborqt problem

I am running debian unstable and after doing all the above, I still got

libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Finally fixed everything when I got an rpm and converted it to deb with the program alien

libborqt-6.9.0-2.i386.rpm can be downloaded from :

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64092&package_id=68416

Convert to deb file with alien and then install it.

#> alien libborqt-6.9.0-2.i386.rpm
#> dpkg -i libborqt_6.9.0-3_i386.deb

Sarge does work with the libborqt_6.9.0-3_i386.deb from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64092&package_id=68416

The rpm seems to be working for Mandrakelinux 10.x too.

Same problem under Ubuntu 5.04 too. I downloaded libborqt_6.9.0-3_i386.deb from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64092&package_id=68416, installed, and it worked :)

On Debian unstable (sid), I had to install the following package and libborqt-6.9.0-2: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2

Download the package from the URL above and install it with dpkg.

[Debian] Firefox print issue

In Ubuntu, can easily install printer(network or local) and using cups to manage. The printer works fine(testing print without problem) but can not print in Firefox. Installing gtklp package can resolve this issue.

apt-get install gtklp

Then, in the firefox print popup window, click propertis, using "gtklp" instead of "lpr". Done.

[debian] Chinese font

A better font than the font installed default on Ubuntu 5.04

First, download the VeraSansYuanTi font package; then extract to font directory, refresh font cache, backup old fonts.conf, cp new fonts.conf


tar -xzvf VeraSansYuanTi.tar.gz
 sudo mv VeraSansYuanTi /usr/share/fonts/
 sudo fc-cache -f
 sudo cp /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.old
 sudo cp /usr/share/fonts/VeraSansYuanTi/fonts.conf /etc/fonts/
Restart X.
