My current HP one can scan and print directly to/from USB drives. No need for a computer. Newer HP printers can also scan to fileshares, email, just like most other "advanced" units. -- Joost

Anyone any idea here? Well, I don't know what I did differently, but once again I zapped the server root partition, recovered it from a known good, minimal backup, brought it up to date and set cups up again. Now when I go to a client box and run the KDE printer setup utility, it shows the printers and even allows me to configure them. I don't touch the cups server on the client, other than to point /etc/cups/client.conf to the server. There are still some oddities, but those can wait now.

Re: [gentoo-user] portage update problems due to sane-backends
Progress kind of :-/ I set SANE_BACKENDS to hp, and was able to compile the sane-backends package. Two files were changed and flagged via etc-update. The first was /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, which added a bunch of scanners and commented out hpoj. Since hpoj is part of the hplip package, and I have this package installed, I deleted the comment character to enable this dll The second file was /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap The PSC 750 usb entry was deleted, so I added this back in # Hewlett-Packard PSC-750 libusbscanner 0x0003 0x03f0 0x1411 0x 0x 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x Unfortunately, sane can no longer find my scanner, even after restarting hotplug.

They setup a print server to handle the printer. Each client then connects to the print server to gain access to the printer. The print server manages each client and ensures all print jobs get completed. In this case, the CUPS server is the "print server", and the CUPS client is what gives the workstations access to the print server by redirecting the printing back-end as appropriate. > > 2) Configure LP: > > - use lpstat to see the available printers > Do you have a reason for preferring these two programs to the cups Web > interface? Yes. lpstat is a LOCAL command that tells you what printers are available to the local system. The CUPS Web interface only tells you what the CUPS _server_ makes available, and lets you manage print jobs for the printer on the _server_ side, not the client side. > On the client, lpstat lists all four: the laser and the deskjet, each > defined both locally and on the server. I see no reports of any problems. It won't give you any problems. But you need to configure the Workstation/client to only use what is provided by the server. That is the purpose to using CUPS - to centrally locate the printer management so that multiple computers can easily and reliably use the printers. > > - use lpoptions to set the default printer > Is it necessary to declare a default printer to cups? I thought I'd let > applications set their own defaults, so that for instance the Deskjet gets > coloured work and the laser gets word-processor output etc. No, it's not necessary. The system will select a default printer on its own, but it might not be the one you want. This lets you set a system wide default. AFAIK, applications can't really set their own default printer. May be there is a way to do so, but typically applications use the system default. Now if you are scripting some of this stuff, then you could certainly tell your scripts which printer to use - but that's different than applications like OpenOffice or GIMP. > > I believe you only need HPLIP on the server side, not the client side. > > But having it there shouldn't do any harm. > It's installed on the client so that I can print locally until I get network > printing working.

When I set up my CUPS server it took me the longest to just get the server working with the printer and a test page printed through the CUPS Web interface. Once I had that working, I just setup the CUPS client.conf per the directions, and all my other Linux systems came on-line with the printer immediately without any problems. I haven't really touched the clients since, though I might need to when I get my Epson printer configured on the CUPS server - just haven't gotten to it yet. The Windows clients came almost as easily - though on Windows you also need a driver; and I've had problems with Vista64 and my printer for that one. Win2k, WinXP were no problem at all. HTH, Ben

The usb use flag is set. lsusb shows the printer as "Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04a9:10a5 Canon, Inc. iP5200". What is a HAL printing backend? Do I have to add some crazy fdi stuff for the printer? CUPS does not even have a hal use flag. Dale, help! Wonko Well I have a HP. I had trouble the other day, read that as the printer was turned off and I didn't know it, so I deleted the printer. That was when I realized it was turned off, so I turned it back on and hplip or something just added the printer without me doing anything. KDE showed a little pop up and it was done and it has printed ever since. This could be habit forming tho. ;-) I like things that "just work". Do you have ppds and dbus USE flag enabled for cups?

Sane, hplip and cups, sometimes work together well and sometimes don't even thou devices may be "supported". Testing is the answer. It stubborn cases, I've found it easier to take a singular device, and set it up as if it were multiple devices. For example I had one hp printer that when swithcing between color and bw the software (driver, api?) would get confused and hang the software (driver). So I just set it up as 2 different printers, one bw and one color. Easy, and no issues. > Does anyone have any further comments or suggestions ? Using the internal functions, such as settting the IP address, wireless, routes, dns, folders etc etc on a printer is a security concern that needs vetting, imho. There are very few wireless interfaces that the NSA has not forced the hardware manufactures to add "backdoors" into. Wireless sniffing, what the NSA refers to as "signal intercept", has long been the bread and butter of the NSA, since marconi did his thing. Amatures can easily comprimise most wireless interfaces, so caveat emptor!. Some only set the usb or ip address on a printer and never the wireless, routes or other embedded OS features, as a baseline to establish security. Note, the wireless interfaces can be activated remotely, despite what you set, so isolate most modern printers. Adding those (printer) embedded OS feature-sets, makes it so a rank_amature can comprise your devices, if you are not very careful. Unlike mrsnow, I have no problem with the NSA; but, I think folks should be "aware" (educated?) and make logical decisions based on their security model. hth, merry Christmas, James

Good luck to others. Did you try the most straightforward (albeit lengthy) approach: unmerge all of Qt emerge world and let portage figure out what it wants to put back There is seldom a good reason to have Qt packages in world (dev packages excepted) and recent changes in the ebuild have caused lots of mutual blockers. When I first went through this, I saw that almost all qt-* packages would be rebuilt on my machines. It seemed easier to restart with a clean slate. I got a blocker notice which said I had to enable various flags, which I did and the merge completed flawlessly. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Yes, they all seem to be for laser printers. I do very little printing, but once or twice a year need to print something, so my cheap little HP DJ 2510 is adequate. The basic problem is now clear : this printer won't print draft quality, but leaves blank bands across the output (no, it's not an old cartridge). Therefore, something has to tell it to print 'high-quality' or 'best'. In Mint, when that is set via the 631 menu, printing works correctly : I can print text files via Gvim (icon or :ha ) & Gedit, .odt via LO & PDF via Evince ; Gedit & Evince have their own quality settings. In Gentoo, the 631 setting has no effect, so all printing is draft. Only Kwrite has its own quality setting, which does work properly for text. In addition, the icon doesn't work in Gvim, tho' :ha does. So for everyday purposes, I can print anything by rebooting into Mint. However, I'm not happy that there's a bug (or more) of some sort in Gentoo. I'm not at all sure where it could be or how to report it. It cb caused by the difference in desktops, Xfce on Mint, Fluxbox on Gentoo : perhaps the bigger desktop managers do the job themselves, whereas something else needs fixing with the lightweight Fluxbox.

I seem to recall my old printer I had this problem and was able to use: `lpadmin -o page-bottom-default=36 -o page-top-default=36` That set a system-wide default. IIRC it's set by dpi, but it's been a while. Might have to experiment to see if it still works. To see options you can use `lpoptions -l` My new printer uses foomatic drivers and it works properly without messing around with options to set the margins. If that doesn't help then I don't have a clue... There should be man pages for both lpadmin and lpoptions. Dan
Re: [gentoo-user] where is libnetsnmp-devel? (needed for hplip)

Gentoo doesn't separate packages into -devel versions -- you get all the development stuff as part of the base package (since it's usually required to compile, as Gentoo does, pacakges that depend on it). There isn't a "libnetsnmp" package in gentoo, nor a "netsnmp" package in any of the *-libs categories. Naming something "netsnmp" seems a bit redundant to me anyway, I'm fairly sure the "N" of "sNmp" stands for "network", so I just searched for snmp. 14 hits. 1 is in a *-libs category, but the short description says it's specifically for KDE, not what you are looking for I think. 1 (other) has "lib" in the name of the package, but it's specifically for ruby, again, I was fairly sure that wasn't what you were looking for. Also, other distros generally but ruby in the package name of ruby libraries. Down to 12 packages. I threw out packages in dev-perl and perl-python, again, because of other distros naming practices. 1 package was in sec-policy which is definitely not the place for a lib. 1 package was a plugin for something else, so I decided that was also probably not what you want. Down to 4 packages. At that point, I decided the most likely package was net-snmp because of the name. bsnmp says it's a library (whereas net-snmp doesn't) so that would probably be a good second choice. snmpmon (a "tool") and snmptt could also ship that library, but that's probably a stretch. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.

Sounds like the old "6 of one, a half-dozen of the other" to me... What makes the subtractive method better? Actually its more like the old "use whichever way makes sense for the situation." :) Its mostly a matter of probability. If I'm using a GNOME desktop then I probably *do* want the GTK+ for any packages that support it; the same argument goes for KDE and Qt. Similarly, if my system is on a Windows AD domain, I probably want samba, ldap, and kerberos support for any utilities that have it. If I'm using bash completion packages, I don't want to worry about which packages do/don't have one, I just want them installed. These type of flags have essentially the same effect on every package, and as Alan said, there's no need to waste time checking if each package does or doesn't support GTK individually if you're always going to enable it anyway. OTOH, I probably don't want to set a USE flag like 'extras' or 'doc' globally. In those cases I'll turn it on when needed. Similarly, USE flags that only applies to one package (like "net-print/hplip snmp scanner hpcups new-hpcups hpijs") don't make sense globally, so they are best left to package.use. --Mike

Well, I read a short while ago in a printer review of a computer magazine, that ink may actually be better in the long-term, because the ink is infused into the paper matrix (as a character on Star Trek would say). Whereas laser toner is only put on the surface on the paper an could be scratched off mechanically. You would need lasting pigments of course, not of the kind that fades with time or exposure to light. FWIW, I have an HP LaserJet 1000, bought around 2004. It has been acting up lately, not always getting recognised on USB. The data cable is actually a centronics one with built-in USB convertor. And I don’t really like hplip, b/c it’s an extra piece of software that needs to run and it ALWAYS wants to re-download the binary firmware blob from the internet whenever I connect the printer. Otherwise it wouldn’t print. Back when foo2zjs was still a common Gentoo way of printing, this was never an issue. OTOH, the printer is still on the cartridge it originally came with, albeit almost empty now. Probably, back then, those cartridges weren’t as empty as today’s starter cartridges. What’s the deal with this, anyway. FWIF2, even though the die is cast and the printer for this thread is purchased, I am also considering a Brother machine. I heard good stories of their Linux support. I would also tend towards a network-enabled one with postscript support. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network. “There’s no power in the ’verse can stop me.” – Kaylee & River, Firefly signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I use the IPP to setup my printer, over wireless I might add, and it works fine. I've printed text, images and combinations of both just fine. It always looks great. I do this within CUPS. This is what it shows when when I pull up the printer info.

I went online and found the .ppd file. During the setup, I just pointed it to the file. So far, this has worked well. On occasion, when CUPS updates, I have to set it up again. Usually, I delete the thing and just start over if it fails to print. After that, it works for a good long while, even tho I don't print as much as I used to. Those toner cartridges that claim 3,000 pages are just wishing. Most stuff I print are regular text. Sometimes a black and white circuit diagram. Still, if I get 1,000 pages or more, I'm doing good. I don't think I've ever got 2,000 pages from one. All that said, the printer is a OK printer. I might add, using IPP was the only way I could get it to work. None of the other options worked.

So all HP laser printers are called "Laserjet" but they're just the same as any other laser printer. There are actually two ways a "laser" printer can create an image: it can use a laser (duh) or it can use an array of very small LEDs (mostly Okidata printers). From a user's perspective, they're both the same. The important bit is that they project that light onto a photosensitive drum that picks up toner particles and transfers them to paper, where they get heated and fused into the paper fibers. This is much the same way photocopiers used to work (nowadays most photocopiers are just a scanner attached to a laser printer). The important bit is the language the printer speaks. There are two main languages spoken by laser printers: PCL and PostScript. Both are technically proprietary (PCL is from HP, PostScript is from Adobe) but there are a lot of printers that emulate these languages. You want to run far and fast from any printer that supports neither of these languages - those are generally known as Winprinters and require special drivers. PostScript is the more "UNIX-compatible" of the two - many programs on UNIX/Linux will generate PostScript and pass that to CUPS. If the printer supports PostScript, CUPS can pass the print file straight to the printer, otherwise it needs to use Ghostscript to convert the Postscript input into whatever the destination printer supports. Because so many laser printers either include true PCL (i.e. HP printers) or emulate PCL (like that Brother) the support for PCL in CUPS is very good. However, I have only used G

Thanks for your response.
I'm afraid I don't have the cron logging set up. I should probably go ahead
and do it, shouldn't I?
grep logrotate /var/log/cron.log
grep: /var/log/cron.log: No such file or directory
The cron daemon is running though.
ps auxwww|grep '[c]ron'

Thanks.

[gentoo-user] module woes
Ok, So I'm running Grub2, openrc, and a gentoo patched kernel. This is a new system I've been fiddling with, so the problem could easily be my oversite. I'v build several kernels. I go into the advanced tab upon reboot and boot up the latest kernel I've compiled, (3.13.1-gentoo). It boot fine. Printing works. lp and lpr still do not work for printing raw text files? I used cups and hplip (8600 pro officejet). All other printing is find. Here is what has me stumped.I started out with this kernel: kernel-3.10.25-gentoo. Since I have built and successfully ran (most things) on these kernels too: kernel-3.13.0-gentoo-r1 and last: kernel-3.13.1-gentoo. I have built these kernels same way as all others cd /usr/src/ ln -sf linux cd linux make && make modules && make modules_install cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-3.13.1-gentoo cp System.map /boot/System.map-3.13.1-gentoo cp .config /boot/config-3.13.1-gentoo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg So the new kernels work, but, besides permission problems, it only looks to the original /lib/modules/ dir for modules (example): # /etc/init.d/cupsd restart Stopping cupsd ... /etc/init.d/../conf.d/modules: line 25: /lib/modules/3.10.25-gentoo/kernel/drivers/char/kcopy/kcopy.ko: Permission denied ERROR: modules failed to start Starting cupsd ... So what should the perms. be and what do I need to do to get it to point to the kernel I'm booting, 3.13.1-gentoo ? It is a grub 2 thing or what? /lib/modules/3.13.1-gentoo/kernel/net/netfilter total 100K -rw--- 1 root root 25K Feb 4 09:17 nf_nat.ko -rw--- 1 root root 6.0K Feb 4 09:17 nf_nat_ftp.ko -rw--- 1 root root 5.6K Feb 4 09:17 nf_nat_irc.ko -rw--- 1 root root 15K Feb 4 09:17 nf_nat_sip.ko -rw--- 1 root root 22K Feb 4 09:17 xt_LOG.ko -rw--- 1 root root 4.5K Feb 4 09:17 xt_mark.ko -rw--- 1 root root 5.5K Feb 4 09:17 xt_nat.ko /lib/modules/3.10.25-gentoo/kernel/net/netfilter total 100K -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27K Jan 14 23:28 nf_nat.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.0K Jan 14 23:28 nf_nat_ftp.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.5K Jan 14 23:28 nf_nat_irc.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16K Jan 14 23:28 nf_nat_sip.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22K Jan 14 23:28 xt_LOG.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.5K Jan 14 23:28 xt_mark.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.5K Jan 14 23:28 xt_nat.ko What did I miss, besides the permissions?

Others might. I got an all-in-1 colour laser printer from HP myself after finding ink cartridges useless again. The printer can be left for months and months and when I need something printed, it simply works. In the past 5.5 years, I only had to replace the black cartridge once. (Late last year). Am looking into getting a new one that does duplex printing and scanning. Along with sending scanned documents directly to a NAS and/or email without the use of a computer. And the current one will then be relocated for use by family members. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

Tell me something I might be able to use to FIX the issue!). Heh! Devs' messages are usually clear in their meaning. Mostly to devs. :-) Since the printer is not physically attached to and driven by Athena, I think the rendering is taking place by the MSWindows printer driver, at the Windows OS. Athena functions as a router in this case pushing what it receives over smb://.

This is probably the best way to go if he decides to stay with an inexpensive ink-jet. I'm intrigued by Albert's suggestion to look for a $400 color laser printer. It's not a great solution for my house by my Dad's flush so he might like that sort of solution. A question I have about laser printers, from the old days whn I had one, is aren't they really pretty bad reliability for low print volume applications. My old laser printer, made by some off-brand company that was early into the Postscript clone game, was that the rollers very quickly got flat spots because we didn't print every day. When we would print the paper wouldn't feed correctly and the quality was bad. I don't think my Dad is going to print more than 2-3 pages/day on average and since they travel now and again it could sit idle for a week or two. I suppose I could make some sort of cron job that printed one page a day if that was a reasonable solution. Very interested in your ideas and greatful for all the responses. Cheers, Mark

I set up the desktop printing several years ago and don't really use it (except yesterday to confirm that xsane would fail, but it succeeded). Cups on the desktop says (ignoring another device, a p2055 laser printer) Queue name Descriptionlocation Make and model Officejet_7300 found by hp-setup found by hp-setup HP Officejet 7300 Series hpcups 3.9.12 ss hp 7310 on ss South Salem network HP Officejet 7300 Series hpcups 3.9.12 I guess this means I added it both via cups and via hp-setup. No explicit mention of fax. I am loath to mess with this until I get some success elsewhere as it is my only way to scan. On one laptop (again ignoring P2055) I had just ssHP OfficeJet 7300local lan HP Officejet 7300 Series hpcups 3.12.4 This is a cups install as I recall that that I couldn't get hp-setup to work.

Please check the device and try again. I choose cancel and see the box with Printer Setup and Fax Setup, the latter checked If I click "add printer", hp-setup fails with the same msg as above. However, CUPS now see both devices (plain and _fax) like yours. xsane changes as well. Instead of "no devices" I get "Failed to open device `hpaio:/net/Officejet_7300_series?zc1HPCC((32': Invalid argument." Moreover the new printer entry in cups fails to print a test page (the old, cups-installed, entry continues to work). Thanks for your help. allan

I didn't check, but I suspect you can only run scrub on a mounted partition. I also suspect that fsck probably has an option to do something equivalent offline. You do get the error-detection anyway just by reading files, and if you just ran find on your filesystem and catted every file you have to /dev/null that would actually accomplish the same thing as long as you're not in a redundant mode (simply reading all the files doesn't guarantee that all copies of each file are checked). The main reason for doing a scrub is to detect latent issues, and if you have redundancy that means you can auto-correct them today, rather than discovering them a month from now when the drive containing the only good copy fails. Even if you don't have redundancy maybe you rotate your backups every 30 days and detecting the error might mean having the ability to go back and restore a good copy of the file before it is completely replaced with bad copies. -- Rich

Ah! I must have set this up myself. In /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf I have
among other settings:
destination cron { file("/var/log/cron.log"); };
filter f_cron { facility(cron); };
log { source(src); filter(f_cron); destination(cron); };
This is not necessary though. You can search /var/log/messages for logrotate.

[gentoo-user] network scanning with gentoo / hplip / hpaio
I have an HP-7310 all-in-one. We have it on our wired network at URL 192.168.1.50. As a printer/fax/copier, it works fine. My problem is with scanning. Our older HP-7130 does fine at all tasks. We have two problems identifying scanners. ajglap ~ # scanimage -L device `hpaio:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1200?device=/dev/usb/lp0' is a hp HP_LaserJet_1200 multi-function peripheral ajglap ~ # This is wrong. I do indeed have HP laserjet 1200 attached via usb, but it is a printer not a multifunction device. The second problem is that the HP officejet 7310 at location 192.168.1.50 is not found Add'l info When at another location with no laserjet but with a USB multifunction device (officejet 7130 -- not 7310), all is well.

But the windows printer driver expects the client to do all the rendering and deliver only finalized printer instructions when it receives network jobs.

I suggest you configure CUPS in Janus to use a different print driver: First try 'IPP everywhere' the latest /driverless/ printing option. With 'IPP everywhere' CUPS will communicate with IPP enabled printers and interrogate them on the fly to generate and use the requisite PPD capabilities configuration. Hmmm. Didn't see IPP everywhere as a "driver" but i really didn't look past the HP drivers. But I question if even that will work. Sounds like when Athena tries to render the page into printer instructions it's dying, with the cupsRasterOpen failed (and what kind of an error message is that? Tell me something I might be able to use to FIX the issue!). If this doesn't work, then try 'RAW' and leave it to Athena's CUPS server to submit the raw data for printing to its back end (Windows Printer via SAMBA). The logs should indicate if there is a problem somewhere along the chain. I'll try this and let you know. I'm actually about to head for bed as I write this, so I'll check on it Tomorrow (Sunday). -- Dan Egli On my test server

This idea works fine when your drivers are simple enough to go into a kernel, and can actually perform all of the functions your device needs. Many modern devices require "complex" things to happen before or after they appear in your /dev tree before they can *really* be useful. (Complex relative to the operations a kernel module is expected to perform). When I plug in my HP USB printer, the hplip system checks a locally installed database file to make sure I have support for that model before making it available as a device. When udev finds my Bluetooth keyboard or mouse, it launches bluetoothd so it will work. udev manages drives, sound cards and network cards that may appear and disappear in such a way that they are always given consistent names. I have custom rules that run when I plug an Android phone into my machine that preps it for being debugged via Eclipse, despite the kernel seeing it as just a generic USB device. The point is, udev suppors /arbitrary/ behaviors, defined by device vendors or even end users, which can be controlled and configured at runtime. Some of these operations would be hard to do safely from the kernel. Some of them may even trigger events to happen in userspace in the context of the logged-on user (such as automounting from GNOME.) Note that none of this is necessarily unique to udev; mdev could (and probably does, I don't know) provide userspace events for new devices just as easily as udev does. But in order for udev to maintain the broad level of complex hardware support that it has, it must make certain assumptions that may not hold true for /all/ cases, but are true in the /broadest general/ case: that it may be required to launch software or read data found in /usr or /home or wherever else a udev rule might point, and it may be required to do so before it has even seen the device nodes needed to mount non-root partitions. mdev's appeal here in this case is simply that it makes different, simpler assumptions: that it will /never/ need to access software or data that is not part of the root partition at boot time. If that assumption holds true for a given system, then mdev can behave as an effective drop-in replacement for udev. The choice is then to give up support for the broader case in exchange for a simpler system that supports "enough" to make all of your specific hardware function. --Mike

Re: [gentoo-user] What's with foomatic-filters and cups-filters?
ic lp, then came lprng, then something else I forget and finally an upstart crowd wrote CUPS (Common Unix Printing System), eventually bought by Apple. Ironically, there's now nothing common about it and it's for iOS not Unix. Such is life. With the latest major version update Apple ripped out all the bits we find so useful and still declare the software is "for Unix". Firms like Canon had developed big expensive network-enabled stand-alone printers. You'd think this is as easy as fitting an embedded OS with a print server to replace a dedicated PC with USB/parallel ports... I've had to deal with junk that despite being branded PostScript would only work with it's own Windows drivers. 50 Linux users of all sorts and different distros could not get this bitch to work. Enter the age of network printing protocols. We have IPP running on port 631, something else that is supposedly HTML with huge amounts of extra printer-specific stuff, JetDirect, and many more things I've long ago forgotten about. Plus Samba to share a printer the way Windows does it. Did I mention PPDs? Printer Definition files that describe how to drive a printer using a standard dscription file. Awesome. Where do you get these things? Oh I dunno there's foomatic, cups built-ins, gutenprint, magicfilter and some magic thing from HP called hplip that I once found worked for an Epson inkjet! Andreas did a fine job above of describing a map to get around this driver stuff, including all the many wonderful ways these driver ebuilds have to block each other to get installed at all. And I haven't even touched on CUPS' "feature" that requires you to delete and re-add back all your printers after any remerge. Ask Dale about this, he's the resident expert and he's even figured out how to get hplip to work. Are you still here, still listening? Ye gods, this mail is 5x longer than I thought it would be. I personally have given up on printing period. I either randomly hit useful looking buttons in KDE's config widget hoping it will work, or at work I print to PDF, put it on a USB dongle and wander over to my wife's desk saying please print this on your windows machine. I'm not surprised you felt pain dealing with CUPS, I feel your pain - I really honestly do. But sadly, I can't help you fix it, see previous para :-) [1] PostScript is still alive and well today in the form of PDF, and that's how PDF started out - in it basic form it is essentially compressed PostScript with hyperlinks! -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

It makes sense in that market ... what doesn't is pushing it into areas that are not appropriate and people dont want it. I think that Fedora has largely dropped off peoples list of useful distros but more interesting is how Redhat will go when these ideas start to get included in RHE - last I heard that still has not happened. I did try Fedora as a choice on our networking machines for students but took it off as no one used it as it was just "not nice" - possibly the bad vibes of gnome3 contributing - the surprise was linuxmint being more popular than ubuntu. Gentoo is there but only as a specially configured command line only tool so its not in the running. I still have not seen an adequate explanation as to why systemd isn't a profile as its far more intrusive than a gnome/kde choice and they have profiles. That way some bad choices like polluting systems with systemd files because they are only small and insignificant might be avoided. I have used the mask method but did waste some time on chasing down odd errors due to missing file errors in the logs so I would rather not have them on the system at all. So why not a profile so those guys who want to play can get a configuration that better suits them? - and vice versa if the whole systemd push dies and Redhat drops it as I doubt anyone else big enough will pick it up (they have a foot in both camps at the moment). Smaller distros that jump entirely systemd will be in trouble until they move back. BillK
[gentoo-user] new system, printing suddenly fails for all printers
I've been wrangling with a new gentoo install, on an AMD X2 64 bit machine. It's been a problematic experience, but when the system works right, it works really right. Printing has suddenly failed. I had installed foo2zjs in support of an HP P1005 printer, but it was masked by ~amd64. Then foomatic-db collided, so I upped that to ~amd64. Meanwhile, and I'm not sure this was the problem, the printer that had been working, and the deskjet that had also been working both started to fail. I've been wrestling with many issues, including alsa. There isn't any sound, and I"ve finally compiled a genkernel but the sound isn't working, neither is printing. I've seen a plethora of messages about failure to print, often cups. I have reinstalled cups, new useflags, restarted, done several things, no change. The printers are ok. Ubuntu's install disk has sound. I thought maybe alsasound was causing a problem, because when I stop the machine, it stalls on stopping alsa. I need to print. Maybe tonight I'll get on irc. Meanwhile, can someone suggest anything? Print jobs show up both in the localhost:631 and the gnome cups interfaces. They show up, and show as having printed. No such luck. I'll try to # emerge -ua --newuse world after adding ~amd64 to make.conf. maybe I don't belong with gentoo. I have to USE the computer. I can't find a distro I want, though, that I feel confident I can install quickly and be up to speed. I've cherried out this system with most of the tools I need.

Samsung is a very unusual company, they take note of their mistakes and fix them very quickly. Their latest printers do not make that same stupid mistake; mine is a recent colour laser and the cheapest in the range. Doesn't even have a display or keyboard so it creates it's own ad-hoc wifi connection so you can connect and configure in a browser. Once it's on your real network, it all JustWorks(tm) and understands postscript, PCL, SPL and ipp. Drivers? What drivers? It's bog standard PCL so the generic ppds all work. None of this stupid bloody nonsense of the printer implementing a weird once-off control language that only works on one model and is a pain to set up. The value in a printer is fast, accurate printing with cost-effective inks/toners and that doesn't piss off the customer base. Samsung knows this and it's apparent in all there products for years now.

Fedora takes pains to automate such things as-shipped as a convenience for their userbase. It's their contract with them and at the heart of the distro they build. Gentoo does not offer such a distro. Gentoo offers a highly customizable source-based distro where you can get what _you_ want, the price you pay is that you have to do the nice neat user-facing convenience parts yourself - things like drivers, icon themes, choice of wm and more. Gentoo has never, and never will, offer an ebuild like that brother printer by default. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

Every Monday we had to fan the paper and take out the toner cartridge and give it a little shake. I have heard that if it is a humid location that you either have to leave the printer on or print a lot. The claim was the toner would start to clump from the moister in the air. I have never seen that happen myself. That was a long time ago and surely by now they have fixed those "issues". Laser is good but also keep your light bill in mind. They do use a good bit more electricity. Dale :-) :-)

And what is group 500? Did you use your $HOME directory from another OS maybe? I did copy a couple directories from the old install, emails and such, but most everything was done fresh when I installed Gentoo on this rig. I tend to let the permissions stay as they are. I do change some permissions on my /data directory sometimes tho. Usually to prevent me from doing something accidentally you know. I have no idea what group 500 is or where it came from. That is one goood question. I don't think I have a group dale2. Could this be the cause? You have the group, or else it would not be shown by ls. But you once group, which is only known by its GID 500 now. You can check your IDs with the 'id' command. What exactly tells Linux to give those permissions? I looked around in /etc for some file that would set this but I can't find anything. Normally, files are created with your primary group. The one that is in the fourth column of your user in /etc/passwd, you set it with usermod -g. That had 500 in it for the group. I guess that is how that happened but no idea how it got set that way. It's fixed now tho. Even if this isn't the cause, how do I go about fixing this? If you never intended to use different groups at all, chgrp -R users $HOME should do the trick. But I doubt it has anything to do with your kernel panics. Wonko It may not but while I am grasping at straws, I'll get this fixed too. Thanks for the reply. I got some of this sorted out now. Dale :-) :-)

Re: [gentoo-user] How the HAL are you supposed to use these files?
On 2/8/2010 5:20 PM, Alan Mackenzie wrote: . Am I the only person that finds this semantic gibberish? Is there any explanation somewhere of what a "policy" aka "device rule" is? What is the semantic significance of a "device rule"? What does it mean, to "rule a device", or what sort of restrictions are being placed on this device? Given that one might desire a "basic working keyboard/mouse combination", what is the chain of reasoning that ends up selecting the file called "10-input-policy.fdi" from all the other ones? This file is an inpenetrable stanza of uncommented XML. Are its verbs documented somewhere? What do "" and"" mean, for example? The way HAL works, in a nutshell, is to scan your system for every known piece of hardware it can find, and stores the information in a tree-like database of key/value pairs. Software can then query this database for information about whatever hardware you have. The information includes things like the bus location of the hardware, the manufacturer information, state information, and a lists of known capabilities like "keyboard", "mouse", "disk", etc. Device Rules are simply ways for the user to change values in the database after a device has been detected. The XML files work in two steps: 1. an existing node in the database, 2. or For example, the hplip printer/scanner drivers include a set of HAL rules that match HP devices by their PCI device information, then append "scanner" to their list of capabilities. Other software can then scan the HAL database for "all scanners" and find them. The synaptics touchpad driver (if you build it +hal) includes a set of HAL rules that overrides the standard 'mouse' rules to make your touchpad more useful. That bit about you having to do anything to make a "basic working" setup function, though, is wrong. On Gentoo, at least, everything you need for a working keyboard and mouse in X should be installed properly for you by default. You'd only need to mess with the rules if something didn't work. But, see below. Can this new-style fragmented XML configuration do anything that a good old-fashioned, human-readable and compact xorg.conf can't? If so, what? What am I missing here? HAL manages a *lot* more than just your X configuration. It's intended to be a complete hardware management layer, one that was able to keep pace with new hardware more quickly than the kernel could. If you run the HAL database dump utility "lshal" you'll see more information about your hardware than you could ever possible care to know. Please, somebody, tell me all this HAL stuff is straightforwardly explained in an easily accessible Gentoo document, so that I can hang my head in shame and apologise for the noise! ;-) Oddly enough, the most complete explanation of HAL I've ever found was on the Gentoo wiki and I think the page may be lost. It was never really documented that well, though there are a number of places you can find specific ways to do specific things (like using a touchpad) with HAL. The key point here, though, is that HAL is going away. Not because it was hard to configure, though -- because the code is an "unmaintainable mess" and because other software, like udev, duplicated much of its purpose. At this point, if it's not working for you out of the box, turn it back off and revert to the old style configuration file.

One was started by wicd, after it associates to the AP. But how'bout the other one? Well, on boot up this morning, I saw that, for the first time in a *very long while* that DHCPCD is being started at boot time as a service. Now, I am sure I didn't include it as a service. Gee-Mi-Ni ~ # rc-update show alsasound | default bootmisc | boot consolefont | boot dbus | default devfs |sysinit dmesg |sysinit fsck | boot gpm | default hostname | boot hwclock | boot keymaps | boot killprocs |shutdown local | default nonetwork localmount | boot metalog | boot modules | boot mount-ro |shutdown mtab | boot net.lo | boot netmount | default procfs | boot root | boot savecache |shutdown swap | boot swapfiles | boot sysctl | boot termencoding | boot udev |sysinit udev-postmount | default urandom | boot wicd | boot Okay, on the other hand rc-status showed something I haven't seen before Dynamic Runlevel: needed sysfs[started] dhcpcd [started] Huh, simple enough, some other service needs dhcpcd to be running. Okay. Let me see which one it is: Gee-Mi-Ni init.d # grep dhcpcd /etc/init.d/* /etc/init.d/dhcpcd:command=/sbin/dhcpcd /etc/init.d/dhcpcd:pidfile=/var/run/dhcpcd.pid /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant: before dns dhcpcd net uh, apparently none of them? Can someone help me figure out how to find the offending initscript that is needlessly calling dhcpcd?

Ordinarily permissions should not apply as it's root doing the work (the kernel mostly pretends there are no permissions when root is involved). FWIW, the permissions on all modules files is 644: khamul modules # pwd /lib/modules khamul modules # ls -al total 36 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Jan 27 09:36 . drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 12288 Feb 2 10:51 .. drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 2 09:42 3.11.10-gentoo drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Feb 2 09:40 3.12.7-gentoo drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Feb 2 09:40 3.12.8-gentoo drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 2 18:01 3.12.9-gentoo drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 2 09:43 3.13.0-gentoo-r1 khamul modules # find /lib/modules -type f -not -perm 644 khamul modules # That's what I just get with make && make modules && make modules_install with no further intervention.

Do you have some MAC system like SELinux configured? Necessary filesystems like /proc or /dev omitted in that problematic kernel?

[gentoo-user] qt-dbus blocker
I just started getting this blocker yesterday (was away for the weekend)
[blocks B ] >x11-libs/qt-dbus-4.5.1-r (">x11-libs/qt-dbus-4.5.1-r"
is blocking x11-libs/qt-script-4.5.1, x11-libs/qt-test-4.5.1,
x11-libs/qt-gui-4.5.1, x11-libs/qt-qt3support-4.5.1, x11-libs/qt-sql-4.5.1,
x11-libs/qt-core-4.5.1)
(the entire output from emerge world is below
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--ask --deep --tree --verbose --with-bdeps=y")
I read the news article and was directed to
http://www.linuxized.com/p192, which said to add dbus and qt3support to
my USE flags. I already had dbus and adding qt3support did not change
the result. The std handbook recommendation is to remove qt-dbus, but
the news article suggests this one is more complicated. Should I
perhaps mask qu-dbus-4.5.2 and if so do I then remove the mask when the
rest has installed.
This is a stable x86 box.
thanks,
allan

[gentoo-user] ldap client authentication
Folks, I'm attempting to set up LDAP authentication against my OpenDS server on a Gentoo box. I've been struggling with this for several days now with no progress. Here's the rundown of how things are configured (fairly straight forward): - OpenDS server has the following entry (gathered directly from ldapsearch output), below. Note that clearly the LDAP server is properly configured if it's responding to an ldapsearch on the client with no problems. ldap ~ # ldapsearch -H ldap://auth.whatever.com "objectclass=posixAccount" dn: cn=tb,ou=it,dc=whatever,dc=com uid: tb initials: tb objectClass: person objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: top givenName: Thomas cn: tb sn: Bellview telephoneNumber: 333.555. homeDirectory: /home/tb uidNumber: 10001 mail: t...@whatever.com gidNumber: 10001 - /etc/ldap.conf base ou=it,dc=whatever,dc=com uri ldaps://auth.whatever.com ldap_version 3 tls_reqcert allow pam_password exop pam_filter objectclass=posixAccount pam_login_attribute uid pam_member_attribute memberUid nss_base_passwd ou=it,dc=whatever,dc=com nss_base_shadow ou=it,dc=whatever,dc=com nss_initgroups_ignoreusers avahi,avahi-autoipd,backup,bin,couchdb,daemon,games,gdm,gnats,hplip,irc,kernoops,libuuid,list,lp,mail,man,messagebus,news,proxy,pulse,root,rtkit,saned,speech-dispatcher,sshd,sync,sys,syslog,usbmux,uucp,www-data timelimit 5 bind_timelimit 5 - Likewise, /etc/openldap/ldap.conf BASE ou=it,dc=whatever,dc=com URI ldaps://auth.whatever.com TLS_REQCERT allow #SIZELIMIT 12 #TIMELIMIT 15 #DEREF never Simple problem: authentication fails. On the CLIENT I see the following in the log files: ==> auth.log <== Nov 3 06:26:03 s_dg...@client.whatever.com sshd[2650]: error: PAM: Authentication failure for tb from blah.whatever.com On the SERVER I see the following: [03/Nov/2010:06:27:05 -0400] CONNECT conn=314 from=10.1.1.166:44879 to= 10.1.1.115:389 protocol=LDAP [03/Nov/2010:06:27:05 -0400] BIND REQ conn=314 op=0 msgID=1 type=SIMPLE dn="" [03/Nov/2010:06:27:05 -0400] BIND RES conn=314 op=0 msgID=1 result=0 authDN="" etime=0 [03/Nov/2010:06:27:05 -0400] SEARCH REQ conn=314 op=1 msgID=2 base="ou=it,dc=whatever,dc=com" scope=wholeSubtree filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=tb))" attrs="uid,userPassword,uidNumber,gidNumber,cn,homeDirectory,loginShell,gecos,description,objectClass" [03/Nov/2010:06:27:05 -0400] SEARCH RES conn=314 op=1 msgID=2 result=0 nentries=1 etime=1 [03/Nov/2010:06:27:05 -0400] SEARCH REQ conn=314 op=2 msgID=3 base="ou=it,dc=whatever,dc=com" scope=wholeSubtree filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=tb))" attrs="uid,userPassword,uidNumber,gidNumber,cn,homeDirectory,loginShell,gecos,description,objectClass" [03/Nov/2010:06:27:05 -0400] SEARCH RES conn=314 op=2 msgID=3 result=0 nentries=1 etime=1 [03/Nov/2010:06:27:05 -0400] CONNECT conn=315 from=10.1.1.166:44879 to= 10.1.1.115:389 protocol=LDAP [03/Nov/2010:06:27:05 -0400] BIND REQ conn=315 op=0 msgID=1 type=SIMPLE dn="" [03/Nov/2010:06:27:05 -0400] BIND RES conn=315 op=0 msgID=1 result=0 authDN="" etime=0 [03/Nov/2010:06:27:05 -0400] SEARCH REQ conn=315 op=1 msgID=2 base="ou=it,dc=whatever,dc=com" scope=wholeSubtree filter="(&(objectclass=posixAccount)(uid=tb))" attrs="ALL" [03/Nov/2010:06:27:05 -0400] SEARCH RES conn=315 op=1 msgID=2 result=0 nentries=1 etime=0 [03/Nov/2010:06:27:05 -0400] BIND REQ conn=315 op=2 msgID=3 type=SIMPLE dn="" [03/Nov/2010:06:27:05 -0400] BIND RES conn=315 op=2 msgID=3 result=0 authDN="" etime=0 [03/Nov/2010:06:27:07 -0400] DISCONNECT conn=315 reason="Client Disconnect" [03/Nov/2010:06:27:07 -0400] DISCONNECT conn=314 reason="Client Disconnect" [03/Nov/2010:06:27:07 -0400] DISCONNECT conn=309 reason="Client Disconnect" Looks fine, right? Well not really. If I run an ldapsearch *exactly* as it appears in the SERVER's log, it returns the user. ldap ~ # ldapsearch -H ldap://auth.whatever.com -b "ou=it,dc=whatever,dc=com" "(&(objectclass=posixAccount)(uid=tb))" # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base with scope subtree # filter: (&(objectclass=posixAccount)(uid=tb)) # requesting: ALL # # tb, it, whatever.com dn: cn=tb,ou=it,dc=whatever,dc=com uid: tb initials: tb objectClass: person objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: top givenName: Thomas cn: tb sn: Bellview telephoneNumber: 333.555. homeDirectory: /home/tb uidNumber: 10001 mail: t...@whatever.com gidNumber: 10001 # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1 This has me pulling my hairs out. Clearly the manual ldapsearch works. The only thing I can think of is the "scope=wholeSubtree" or the "attrs=ALL" breaking the query; clearly the applied filters work without any issues. Thoughts / ideas would be greatly appreciated. -james

Hmmm. OK, so I avoid systemd and nepomuk (actually all of KDE) but polkit? I try and run a minimized DE environment, but on a workstation, I'm constantly evaluating various codes, so how do I avoid polkit? # equery d polkit * These packages depend on polkit: app-emulation/libvirt-3.3.0 (policykit ? >=sys-auth/polkit-0.9) dev-util/sysprof-3.22.2 (gtk ? sys-auth/polkit) (systemd ? sys-auth/polkit) gnome-base/gconf-3.2.6-r4 (policykit ? sys-auth/polkit) gnome-base/gvfs-1.30.4 (policykit ? sys-auth/polkit) lxde-base/lxsession-0.5.2 (sys-auth/polkit) net-firewall/ufw-frontends-0.3.2-r5 (policykit ? sys-auth/polkit) net-print/hplip-3.16.3 (policykit ? sys-auth/polkit) sys-auth/consolekit-1.1.0-r1 (policykit ? >=sys-auth/polkit-0.110) sys-block/gparted-0.27.0 (policykit ? sys-auth/polkit) sys-fs/udisks-1.0.5-r1 (>=sys-auth/polkit-0.110) sys-fs/udisks-2.6.5 (>=sys-auth/polkit-0.110) skipper james # equery d udisks * These packages depend on udisks: gnome-base/gvfs-1.30.4 (udisks ? >=sys-fs/udisks-1.97:2) media-tv/kodi-17.3 (udisks ? sys-fs/udisks:0) sys-fs/udisks-glue-1.3.5 (>=sys-fs/udisks-1.0.4-r5:0) Take 'sysprof' for example. Sure I can remove it as nothing is dependent on it, but installing it does require polkit. So can you explicitly educate me on polkit, and some strategies to minimize any attack surfaces it may open? Reading and keyword searches so I can self-educate on such issues? So how do we (systematically) minimize or 'partition' such complex software stacks or follow alternate security strategies? Then, what is the set of pen_tools we need to run against our networks to see that it is indeed 'hardened' ? (workstation only atm, but small self-managed, static IP network in followup). 'Tails' revisited might be a solution, or at least a starting point, as wikipedia has this to say:: "Tails[1] was first released on 23 June 2009. It is the next iteration of development on Incognito, a Gentoo-based Linux distribution. " You know our current hardened leader, blueness, had a very interesting approach to quick hardened installs [2]. 'Tinhat' was a secure gentoo that ran completely 'in-ram' but is being scrubbed out of existence. Or a gentoo centric Whonix [3]? Or a stage-4 [4]? A common minimized and secure and minimized install for a gentoo (amd64), would be welcomed by many, rather than a thousand adhoc threads, imho. curiously, James [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tails_%28operating_system%29 [2] http://releases.freeharbor.net/ https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Hardened_musl/Bluedragon [3] https://www.whonix.org/wiki/HardenedGentooTG https://www.deepdotweb.com/2014/06/13/simple-whonix-installation-tutorial/ [4] https://blogs.gentoo.org/gsoc2016-native-clang/2016/07/24/a-new-gentoo-stage4-musl-clang/

All of our printers now are HP and I'm using hplip for them so possibly part of my luck is just that difference. My cups server here at the house has very little in the config file and the printer definition is very short so I'm copying them at the end. Upon review it does look like I have samba running and although I don't think it's being used it might be. It got turned on when I first started working on this last week and I forgot about it so it's still turned on.

The transaction for AD authentication to access the domain is taking place over different applications, threads, protocols and ports to those used for printing. There should be no confusion. [snip ...] > > The shared printer advertised by CUPS in Athena should pop up on > > Janus as an available printer via mDNS. > > I know nothing of mDNS. mDNS (multicast DNS) is a protocol used to resolve hostnames to IP addresses in LANs without the need to use a local DNS server. Client devices trying to resolve a name send UDP multicasts using port 5353 over the LAN subnet to ask for a named host to identify itself. The target host responds with its IP address and the client updates its mDNS cache. Linux, Apple and Windows 10 use mDNS to discover printers. If you see zeroconf, avahi, or Apple's Bonjour service, they are all referring to this mechanism. If you use IP addresses to manually configure printer server/clients, then this service is not necessary. Samba uses the native MSWindows 'Active Directory Domain Services' over TCP port 445 to resolve IP addresses when printing over Samba. > I tried IPP to no avail, but then again perhaps > I formed the URLs wrong.

The url is > https://www.newideatest.site/cups_error_log I had a quick look, this is what I see: Your client sends IPP commands over HTTP to Athena. CUPS server on Athena accepts these and processes them. So the comms appear to be working fine between the two. :-) Then we have this on line 292: D [11/Feb/2021:13:08:36 -0700] [Job 11] hpcups (application/vnd.cups-raster to printer/ENVY, cost 0) This is the hplip printer driver in action, using a MIME format for CUPS to transmit and print raster imaged pages.

Understood. Thanks.
Messages doesn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary to say about
logrotate though.
sed '/logrotate/!d' /var/log/messages
Jan 13 17:50:02 localhost run-crons[7443]: (root) CMD
(/etc/cron.daily/logrotate)
Jan 14 18:00:02 localhost run-crons[4576]: (root) CMD
(/etc/cron.daily/logrotate)
Jan 15 18:10:02 localhost run-crons[1692]: (root) CMD
(/etc/cron.daily/logrotate)
Jan 16 18:20:01 localhost run-crons[4448]: (root) CMD
(/etc/cron.daily/logrotate)
An observation I've made, is that my log rotation seems to have effected
all other logs in /var/log as well. It seems to have stopped working around
January this year.
