RE: [Cooker] Win Printers and Mandrake
There is a way you can run the HP 720 under Mandrake, but it requires a little bit of effort. The program is beta, but what isn't for Linux, and it's called pnm2ppa. I also own an HP 720, but after trying out this beta software, I was very impressed with the results. My advice is to read up on it at www.sourceforge.com. You can find some RPMs for Mandrake on that site also, along with some instructions on setting it up. If you're willing to put the effort into, which pretty much is just following the directions step by step, you'll be very happy with the results.

UserDir public_html
means that http://localhost/~foobar/ will look at ~foobar/public_html/
in the hard disk.
That is what you set as UserDir ('public_html' in your case) is the name
of a directory under user's $HOME that will be accessible as ~username/
trough http URL.
I've:
chanae:~# grep UserDir /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf
# UserDir: The name of the directory which is appended onto a user's home
UserDir WWW
chanae:~# ls -d /home/srtxg/WWW
/home/srtxg/WWW/
and can read files in that dir with http://localhost/~srtxg/

Check that $HOME is world readable and world executable too;
a directory needs to be readable to lsit ist content and 'executable'
to be able to 'cd' to it. If that isn't the case httpd can't go trough it
to one of its subdirectories.
Do the same checking for the UserDir one.
eg in my case above:
chanae:~# ls -ld /home/srtxg
drwxr-xr-x 92 srtxgcasa12288 Feb 18 03:19 /home/srtxg/
chanae:~# ls -ld /home/srtxg/WWW

Here's some of the stuff I was told that didn't do anything You can also try using the following command to install the sound module. #/sbin/modprobe sb I am not sure that the normal soundblaster setting will work, or at least they didn't with my ESS 18XX chipset. If that doesn't work try this. add the following line to /etc/modules.conf : options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=0 mpu_io=0x330 then do a: /sbin/modprobe -r sb I didn't find anything that was exactly /etc/modules.conf I look in the /etc from the xterm and even from pico, it isn't there.

[Cooker] building a bootable Mandrake CDROM - which image file for booting?
I've copied the whole Mandrake 7.0 CDROM tree from CD to an ext2 partition. I can boot from the ext2 partition via a floppy with the 'hd.img' image written to it. However, I can't figure out which IMG file I need for the CD. # cd /mnt/scratch <-- where the CD filesystem tree was copied to # mkisofs -b images/txt_boot.img \<--- the IMG file -c boot.cat -o /tmp/mandrake.iso \ -J -r -T \ -p LinuxMandrake \ -P www.mandrakesoft.com \ -A Linux_Mandrake_7.0_GPL_version \ -V LM70GPL \ . I can boot from a "CD floppy" (# dd if=cd.img of=/dev/fd0) onto the CD, so I'm convinced the filesystem is okay. However, it won't boot if I use the cdrom.img file. It _will_ boot if I use txt_boot.img but that image doesn't trigger the graphical install routine, which is the routine I need to use. Any ideas? :) All suggestions are appreciated. Hugo

The right solution will be to make lpr command s-x--x--- root.printer and the /etc/printcap file rw-r- root.printer; then add to the "printer" group any user that is allowed to print. (A nice future improvement will be to have a "permissions" tab on the user configuration tool; that tab would show a list of checkbox like: Services this user is allowed to use: [x] printing [x] direct CD access (eg audio CD) [ ] modem access [ ] FAT fs write access [x] internet access [X] sound access etc. (PS: note that modem access and internet access are not the same; modem access means real modem acces, to /dev/modem, you can do what you want, ppp, fax, etc. internet access means being able to launch pppd; but it could be set up to forbid the user giving a phone number for example, so avoiding misuse of long distance calls) Such a configuration will really be very intuitive for anyone, and at same time take full advantage and power of the user/group/other scheme, and allow easy configuration still keeping the securioty and power of tightly controled accesses and permissions. I use a similar scheme on my machine; that allows me to give free access to it yet avoid nuisances like (while : do ; echo "fuck you" | lpr ; done) (yes, someone really tried that on my machine; of course without any success at all) > François. -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga http://www.ping.be/~pin19314/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0x8F0E4975

Yes. > Waiting an answer to update mdk-rpm Howto. also note dates are acceptable but they need tobe decimals of the current stable release. So for rpm. it should be 3.0.4-0.2216 (umm i dunno if that format is the std right now but..), then after an official tarball is released it will be 1mdk, and the next CVS copy would be 1.20001010mdk (or whatever the "checkout" date) this would be probably most effective if it includes zulu time > Any other suggestion appreciated. > > Also, it would be great improvement if changelog messages contained a > link to the ftp location, to download in a single click associated rpm > and srpm.

[Cooker] Code question
I got 2 questions: 1-) How can I know (by CODE) if a RPM as been successfully installed? 2-) Using rpm query can I fill up an array of package needed ? (to solve dependencies) Thanks a lot for your attention. Emmanuel Paré sysadm Voxtel.com

[Cooker] cooker no longer fitting on CD?
I've been mirroring cooker locally using lftp / mirror, and have noticed that cooker (from the ftp.sunet.se mirror) is now at ~690 MB and no longer fits on a single CD. Is this the case , or have I been doing something wrong (I've been using mirror -e to delete removed files)? - Alastair McKinstry

[Cooker] smbmount and mount
Hi all! This is probably not the correct forum, but I did download the rpms from Cooker :-) Using Mandrake 6.1 I used to mount (not always successfully) the drive in my Windoze95OSR2 Server using the following commands at the end of my etc/inittab smb1:235:once:smbmount //server/ahable_serv /mnt/ahable -N smb2:235:once:smbmount //server/hnoon_serv /mnt/hnoon -N smb3:235:once:smbmount //server/farsh_serv /mnt/farsh -N smb4:235:once:smbmount //server/laflaf_serv /mnt/laflaf -N smb5:235:once:smbmount //server/mumzer_serv /mnt/mumzer -N BTW: for those of you who are wondering, the names of the drives are all swear words in Hebrew/Arabic, that way I never forget what they are called :-) Now with the latest mandraked Samba rpms from Cooker the commands and syntax have changed and so far I haven't managed to get them to work yet. What is one to do? Best Regards: Michael Perry. R&D. Dep. Netafim Magal. <<<>>>

I will :) Don't touch that slider don't ask about just basicly ignore it. Sorry bad humor. "Now that you've selected desired groups, please choose how many packages you want, ranging from minimal to full installation of each selected groups." I really thought the description was pretty clear this time :/ Pixel gave a nice clairifcation of the scoreing system last week, basicly every package gets a score between 0 - 100 depending upon where you move the slider you can shrink the install size -- MandrakeSoft http://www.mandrakesoft.com/ --Axalon

No, this is the problem, /etc/printcap cannot be read by lpr, maybe lpr check for access right on the file as it is suid. To fix this problem, use chmod a+r /etc/printcap when root, although this will give everyone access to /etc/printcap, this will help you waiting for a correction.
