MIGRATION: MAC to linux-samba
hello all,
I am running now a mac server file with 15 GO of data.
The name files in MAC server are long and they contain spaces....
something like: "1548754 PLG test 1998".
I would like to transfer all that 15 Go DATA to my new samba server
running mandrake 7.1 without losting something....
I feel that these spaces in file names will cause me a lot of
troubles...Transfering 15 GO of data is another prob (what could be the
better way to do it?)
what could be the right way to do such stuff ( transfering and keeping
the file and their names inaltered during the transfert)
A lot of thanks for your help

I don't think there is any sound support with this driver.

I have a UMAX Astra 2000P scanner which I would like to use from RedHat 6.2.
The Hardware-HOWTO (section 22) indicates that I am out of luck - UMAX
parallel scanners being unsupported.
Is that it ? Or does someone know something which the HOWTO doesn't !
If anyone can confirm my fears or give me some good news it would be most
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Richard.

Has anybody had any success with Lexmark Z31? It is not listed at
linuxprinting.org, but there is drivers for Z11 and Z51. Does the Z31
work with any of those?
Thanks!

If that means that you disabled the "PNP-OS" option as well,
then you got it wrong. If you want to use the pnptools, then you
need to have this set to yes. If you don't want to use the pnptools, -
which should work, given the fact that you used this modem before
on a non-PNP system - then you do have to set PNP-OS to Disabled,
and setup the modem via jumpers (assuming this is an internal one).

Odd. Port1 should be 03F8, IRQ4, and port2 should be 02F8, IRQ 3
The UART option refers to the option of using an IrDA adapter
(infrared connector), and should be set to "normal".
>port 2 is the mouse. This seems odd to me because of the uart thing.
Why? You need an UART for serial devices.
>If I set port 2 to "Disabled", the uart option disapears. This

[...]
It is. If you set it to disabled, you're disabling your port2 .
If your modem has jumpers, set it up as COM3 (03E8) with
an otherwise unused IRQ (say, 5). Or disable port1, and use these
settings on the modem card.

Thanks for the advice. I only have Linux on my system, however, do have
enough room to load Windoze 95 up and run some tests if need be.
Perhaps you are right, as my ON light just keeps flashing all the time.
I have re-set my jumpers back to factory based upon all the
documentation I have grabbed from the Plextor site and the user manual.
I have tried shifting the PCI - SCSI (NCR53c810) board to different PCI
slots and have only achieved a total non-recognition by the kernel.
This problem is driving me crazier that I was before!!!

Subject: which driver for 21143 ethernet card?
Date: 1 Sep 2000 10:38:12 GMT
We have an Acer ALN-315 ethernet card with Intel 21143 chip (DEC
licensed?). We're using the tulip.c:v0.91g-ppc 7/16/99
[EMAIL PROTECTED] driver on Linux 2.2.16. The NIC's connected to
a 100 Mbps ProCurve switch from HP.
We've noticed (with ping -f) that it has a rather poor performance. This
becomes especially evident when we replace it with an ALN-310 (DEC 21140).
Is there anything in terms of drivers we could do about that?

Subject: Re: No modem will work on my win98 box (or RH6.1 box)
Date: Fri, 01 Sep 2000 06:41:25 -0400
Well, here we go again...
Just because the IRQ and port address settings work on one machine
doesn't mean they work on another... This sounds to me like a port
address or IRQ conflict.
Make sure the IRQ and port address jumpered on the modem is free
(unused) on the box you're trying to install to BEFORE installing the
modem. In Linux, this is as easy as looking at /proc/interrupts,
/proc/pci and a few other select files in /proc. In Windoze, it's as
easy as rightclicking on My Computer, selecting Properties, Device
Manager, Computer, and hitting the Properties button. Find a hole (an
unused interrupt) and set the card for that. Then click the Ports
radiobutton, and find a hole (an open memory range) that the card will
use. Set the card for that. Install the modem.
It'd be easier to do this in Windoze than it would be in Linux, I'll
admit. Once you know these settings, and know they work on that
machine in Windoze, you can use those same settings in your setserial
command on bootup (In rc.serial (RedHat and a few others), or rc.local
(for the rest)). Once Linux recognizes the card as having a serial
port at said IRQ and address, it will see it as /dev/ttyS?, to which
you can link /dev/modem, and boom, it'll work.
Hope this helps, some.

Subject: DFE530TX2B1 + via-rhineII
Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2000 19:08:58 +0100
Hello,
We have problems with the new DFE530TX2B1 Network card from D-Link.
the new via-rhine driver we downloaded from http://www.scyld.com/network/
does not work correctly (we think).
We use Book PC Flytech Model: B0-0630-00 equipped with celeron 466MHz. 32MB
Ram.
All network equipment which is used comes from CISCO.
The new driver works fine with the old DFE530TX rev.A1 card type (with
DL10030, DM9101F chips) but not with the new DFE530TX rev.2B1 card
(DL10030A, L80225/B chips).
Assume the correspondig NIC is not DFE530TX2B1. File size about 70MB
Doing an ftp "put" works without problems.
When doing an ftp "get" the transfer rate brakes down rapidly and after some
seconds the NIC stops comunicating at all.
We set in conf.modules options via-rhine debug=2
/var/log/messages shows as follows:
At module init:
PCI latency timer is unreasonably low at 32 setting to 64 clocks
MII status changed: Autonegotiation advertising 01e1 partner 0021
Kernel: LineSpeed=10Mb Duplex=half
In case of error:
Kernel: eth0: Transmit error, TX status 8100
Kernel: eth0: Something Wicked happened! 2008
Kernel: eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY status 782d,
resetting.....
Kernel: Rx ring ....
Kernel: Tx ring
repeating from Transmit timed out above
Ifconfig show a lot of collisions, errors, mostly 1 carrier.
We also have tried several other hubs (10 and 100Mb) always the same
problem,
sending os good, receiving not possible.
If we connect only two computers with via-rihneII NIC's via cross connect
cable there was never any error, it worked very good.
We guess the NIC will change his connect rate or from half to full duplex or
something else during transfere.
Are we allone with this problem in the world?
Can someboby give as a hint how to make it working?
We are on big trouble. Have bought 100 pieces for 100 Linux terminals and
non works
Thanks

You are correct about the CD being able to retract the tray via script.
I have no trouble making it work, but I'd still prefer not to have the
tray be ejected. The machine that does the backup is in a guest
bedroom... If I open and close the tray in the middle of the night, it
may wake up guests. If I do the backup during the day, it may interfere
with other uses of the machine.
So. Does anyone have any ideas on how to reload the TOC of the CD
without ejecting the CD?
