Le soluzioni sono due: o aggiorni CUPS, o (personalmente ti consiglio, già che ci sei, questa seconda opzione) aggiorni l'intera distribuzione... potresti passare alla recentissima 9.1, che - oltre a essere graficamente *molto bella* - sembra funzionare in modo eccellente; e possiede senz'altro i drivers per la tua stampante...

RP-version is 3.5-3 which I downloaded from rpmfind.net. The only 3.5-3 I find there is for some PLD Linux Distribution. They seem to be similar to Mandrake, because they once took their rp-pppoe package (you can see that in the changelog), but I wouldn't imply too much into that. I will try to remove that version and install 3.5-2 in case something is misbehaving because of that. It should not normally be so I guess, Yes, that *is* normally so. You may not expect rpms for one distro to work on another. You wouldn't download some driver for Windows NT when you have Windows ME, would you? That they both use the same installer (RPM) doesn't necessarily mean that they are compatible. If you are lucky, a package works on a different distro. Either because all Linux based distributions are created using the same software pool or because the other distro has the goal to be compatible to the other one (early versions of Mandrake were full compatible with RedHat). An exeption is when a RPM is explicitly declared to be a general one. But that also only implies that it will work on the more common Linux based distros. but I have learned that when dealing with computing and you have a problem it is usually the cause that you don't believe that is actually the cause. What you have is variant of the 9.0/9.1 mixup I assumed, only worse: a 9.1/other mixup. I'll get back to ya people when I have tried that Yes, always nice to hear, if a suggestion helped.

It works fine when I do that, but the daemon in question is running on a laptop with an IP-adress that changes ever so often. So...

[newbie] OT - Browser Back and the keyboard
I've got a general Linux (or I should say, non-windows) question. Why do most (if not all) Linux web browsers not support the Backspace key as 'Back' in the web browser. 'Back' is something you hit all the time, and I'd rather use a keyboard shortcut than generate all those mouse miles sliding up to the 'Back' button on the toolbar that is all the way up at the upper left hand corner of the window. I know, I know. ALT+LeftArrow is the keyboard shortcut in most of the Linux browsers. But that's one single width key, and on 1.5 width key that I've got to navigate to hit, while the Backspace key is a double width key, in a very prominate location. I'm not flaming, or trolling. This is a very serious question to me. Is there a reason why Backspace could not be captured by the browsers? Is it already defined at the system level for something else? Or is this a desicsion that's made by each browser's developer community. Also, I was curious if anyone else had thought about this. Thanks, Chris __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Not only does it use Backspace for 'Back' by default, but it also supports 'mouse gestures' which means a small mouse movement to the left with the right button down will take you back a page. There are many other useful mouse gestures. Give Opera a try in Windows too. You will wonder why you used IE for so long ;-) http://www.opera.com/features/mouse/ Galeon also supports mouse gestures, but IMO they are not so nice to use. derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] OT - Personal Database Applications
I apologize for the off topic post, but I have been searching for a personal database application for linux. I have a friend that is making the transition from MS to linux and she is hoping that their is something that can replace her old dBase III (She didn't care for Access and didn't see a need to change from what worked.). The vast majority of what I run across seems geared for the programmer and web based engines. Does anyone know of a basic database app that would be appropriate for her?

[newbie] dyndns setup and apache
Hello Everyone, I am attempting to setup a personal website from my SBC Ameritech/Yahoo internet connection. I have a dynamic ip. I am also doing network address translation, but I have access to port forwarding in the router. After signing up for dyndns.org service and starting port forwarding from incoming 80 on the router to incoming 80 on my linux box I was in shock that it seems to work. I thought that Ameritech (or SBC whoever they are now) would block it since all I have is the cheap residential service. Any way I have two questions: Is there any utility bundled with Mandrake 9.1 to update my dynamic ip with dyndns.org (it must get the address from the router). Also is there any gui tools for apache. I am reading the docs now, but I think it will be awhile before I fully grasp it. Yes I know it's a very insecure setup since I don't fully understand what I'm doing, but I must learn somehow. If someone could also check http://www.bustedbox.homelinux.net/ and let me know that it's not just being served in my lan I would also appreciate it. TIA __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [newbie] dyndns setup and apache
Take off the www and it does. I've only personally used dynu.com. They have several different scripts available to update your IP (there's a Bash, C, and who knows what else). There is a binary available for the C one, but it is a little out of date. You can compile your own, if it works. I wasn't ever able to get it to compile. But the binary is ok as long as you use a .com and not a .net address. I personally use the bash one...not much can go wrong there. :) Jay On Wednesday 02 April 2003 04:48 pm, cF wrote: That address doesn't work for me.

Re: [newbie] Why do you choose Linux ?

I think people in Europe and North America can afford Microsoft Windows and application softwares under Windows. It isn't about money, is it ?. ZZ Although the question is addressed to people who live in those places - I don't live in North America or Europe and probably I never will - I would like to say that I use Linux for a couple of reasons already mentioned in this thread. Stability, security, reliability, performance, dislike of alien monopoly and, of course, freedom of choice are also the main reasons that led me to the Open Source world. With Linux, the hardware I worked so hard to purchase is safe and more productive. And I can laugh at the viruses I open in Kmail. Some time ago I read that one of the richest European countries was starting to replace M$ Windows in its Parliament for Linux. Then I began to think that apparently the adoption of Open Source software is growing much more in the developed countries than in the under- or semi-developed ones, which is a kind of paradox. Fortunately here the debate about Open Source software is going to be at stake again. The new administration is favourable to it. Needless to say that the amount of money spent on software, which is considerable if we think in terms of governmental institutions, can be spent on programs to eradicate social problems.

[newbie] Powerdown on 9.1; bad eip?
Hi, this must be a common problem: My box does not powerdown completely and hangs on bad eip My box Athlon XP on Soyo. I have tries compiling the kernel with and without APM and also I have changed these settings in my bios. I had this same problem back in Mandrake 8 and still cannot find any documentation relating to this. There is nothing special about my system and it does always power down in SuSE: which gave me an Athlon kernel by default. Could this be the case? Thanks in advance. 9.1 has performed wonderfully otherwise. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

My trash gets huge, so I set an expire date of 2 months, and run a manual expire about once a week.

Re: [newbie] dyndns setup and apache
Jeff, Your URL from the outside is only http://bustedbox.homelinux.net . There is no www in front of it. Your site is working. If you want to be able to use both the bustedbox.homelinux.net and the www.bustedbox.homelinux.net names, you have to set up a ServerAlias in your httpd.conf file. For instance, if my server host name is fred.flinstone.homelinux.net , I would setup the server in apache to respond on port 80 to any of the following... ServerName www.flinstone.homelinux.net ServerAlias flinstone.homelinux.net ServerAlias fred.flinstone.homelinux.net That should help you get started.

[newbie] Hard disk repartitioning
Dear all, I have a 20GB hard disk with a 5GB primary partition(C drive, DOS partition) and 15GB logical partition(D drive, extended DOS partition). The C drive has WinME and all application softwares and has 3.74 GB of free space. The D drive has all my data and has 9.84 GB of free space. I want to install Mandrake Linux 9.1 on this box. i want to have a dual boot system and donot want to lose any existing data. can anyone please suggest how do i repartition my disk. ive read a few articles and HOWTOs on this and frm what i gather is that a dual boot system should look like this: 1)Windows partion (FAT32) 2)Linux partition 3)Swap partition 4)Partition for data accesible from Windows and Linux(FAT32) now these articles explained this repartitioning when their original disk had a single primary dos partition. so my problem is how do i repartition my disk which has a primary and a logical partition? also i have 128MB RAM. so what should be the size of my Swap partition? thanks for your help . ak.
