[Cooker] Can I disable unneeded services?
What services might I disable (with drakxservices) to free up some resources (RAM). I figure there are at least some services running that I don't need that I can kill. Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
Re: [Cooker] Kudzu!
Can I disable Kudzu (with drakxsevices) if I have my hardware configured the way I want and still have everything work after a boot? Is Kudzu needed at each boot to recognize and configure certain hardware devices or is it just mainly for detecting changed/new hardware? I disabled kudzu, and everything still works nice :). Think you just need it to automatically detect changes in hardware configuration. Pepper

Then you can still run it as root whenever you like.

Ok, I'll only reply to the last line.

Re: [Cooker] Kudzu!
Well, even if it slows the boot a bit, I let it running since it is born, and today I have been rewarded: It detected my Dell monitor ;-)) Thanks kudzu! Now, I find it very interesting for my laptop where the hardware config changes all the time, but if you have a desktop with a frozen configuration, you certainely can remove it from the boot process. You still can run it whenever you insert a new piece of hardware. =-= kk1 From: Pål Arne Hoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Cooker] Kudzu!

[Cooker] Re: [hylafax-users] Re: faxrcvd proplem
[EMAIL PROTECTED] said:
I am running the
latest Mandrake 7.1 Linux release, with hylafax 4.0pl2.rjc11 ( that is
the package name)
I have got it set up, and working to the point that I can send and
receive faxes with no problem.
when receiving faxes the bin/faxrcvd program runs, and emails messages
etc etc. - It is set up to also print the faxes, however it does not.
Now, before we say the script is wrong, lets look at what is
happening.
I have added the uucp user to the lp grooup.
If I su - uucp, then go to the /var/spool/fax dir, and execute
bin/faxrcvd "recvq/fax00016.tif" "ttyS1" "0122" ""
(which is what log/c0122 shows as the command that was run)
the fax in question prints fine. HOWEVER, when this faxrcvd program is
run by hylafax upon receipt of fax, it runs the faxrcvd script, sends
the emails, but does not print.
I fixed this problem by running the following script every 15 minutes via cron
included are the 2 scripts required. (check all variables before running these)
--start script /usr/local/bin/cronfax
#!/bin/bash
# cronfax - print hylafax faxes from crontab
# GPL - Allen Bolderoff [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# This script calls /usr/local/bin/printfaxes wwith all faxes received in
# last 2-15 minutes.
# call this as a user with access to /var/spool/fax/ from crontab with the
format
# */15 * * * /usr/local/bin/cronfax
# This will execute every 15 minutes.
BASEDIR=/var/spool/fax
# find all files that have appeared in the last 15 minutes,
# but not in the last 1 minute
# (to stop it from trying to print file that is still incoming)
find $BASEDIR/recvq -name "fax*" -mmin -15 -mmin +1 -exec
/usr/local/bin/printfaxes \{\} \;
--endscript
--startscript /usr/local/bin/printfaxes
#!/bin/bash
# printfaxes - needed by cronfax
# GPL - Allen Bolderoff [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#print the fax
/usr/bin/tiff2ps -a1 $1 | /usr/bin/lpr -Plp
# touch the file to make it older than 16 minutes. (to stop repeated
printings)
/bin/touch -d -16min $1

A very long error list of KDE apps appeared and complained of needing libqt.so.1. Also received the error "package reiserfs-utils-3.5.9-4mdk (which is newer than reiserfs-utils-2.2.16_3.5.9) is already installed.

The Update does not appear to work correctly when upgrading the kernel with
reiserfs. Mandrake's webpage has directions that need to be followed when
performing the 2.2.16 kernel upgrade; however, before installing those rpms, load
the loopback module ('insmod loop.o'). Else the file itself will be removed using
the '-U' option or you will not be able to mkinitrd.
