Re: Sound, printing and cdrw
I run in runlevel 5 and switching between VTs works fine - even w/ MOL. Since I have linux keycodes enabled, ctrl-alt(option)-Fx does the trick for me, previously, ctrl-command-Fx was necessary. This is on beta1, not RC1 - still haven't taken the time to do that ... still haven't taken the time to update Mac OS X, either ... *blech* too much work! -Brice [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mon, 20 Aug 2001, Jeff Hergan wrote: On Monday 20 August 2001 09:13, Brice D Ruth wrote: The problem doesn't seem to be the driver, in this case - it appears to be the format that the data is sent to the printer.

But I've been doing a lot of reading, and trying a lot of things and I just can't get it to work. I used the cups-o-matic thing to generate a ppd file, then copied the file to /usr/share/cups/model/HP but it doesn't show up in Mandrake control center... This cups stuff is completely new to me and I just don't get it. I could really use a little hand-holding on this one--especially now that I know it should work. Anyone? Please? Thanks for your help so far. Jeff
Re: Sound, printing and cdrw
On the sound. I believe that changing to 8 bits sound was supposed to help. I think it is a kde version bug from what i read. On Saturday 18 August 2001 06:45, you wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I don't know how to get it to sound like the welcome sound it's supposed to.

This would probably require you inserting the 'printer' module - something like this should do the trick: Thank you! I appreciate the help. # /sbin/modprobe printer This yeilds nothing . To see if that recognized your printer, try this (right after the above) # tail /var/log/messages I see nothing related to printer in /var/log/messages.

Re: Sound, printing and cdrw
OK, now for the sound - this can get a bit tricky, so bear with me, 'k? I have an iMac DV (late 2000) w/ sound working fine - so have hope :) First, you should know that I use alsa for sound - so if you have something against alsa, this won't work for you. Step one - configure /etc/modules.conf My modules.conf looks like this: # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore # ALSA portion alias snd-card-0 snd-card-awacs # OSS/Free portion alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # OSS/Free portion - card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss snip I left out entries for my network card, usb, and usb-storage drivers. These are probably already in your modules.conf So, getting this in and restarting should get alsa loaded - you also need to make sure that you have the alsa RPMs. I have the following versions: alsa-lib-devel-0.5.10-2mdk alsa-utils-0.5.10-2mdk alsa-lib-0.5.10-2mdk you probably don't need the first, -devel-, but it won't hurt to have it installed, either. Get to this point write back! -Brice Jeff Hergan wrote: Can someone help me with this? I'm trying to get an HP Laserjet 1200s (USB) running, using cups.

Re: Sound, printing and cdrw
OK Here's my /etc/modules.conf. I wasn't sure what to do with the alias-sound-slot line. I left as it was: pre-install pcmcia_core CARDMGR_OPTS=-f /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start alias usb-interface usb-ohci alias sound-slot-0 dmasound_awacs alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi alias eth0 gmac # # # # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore # ALSA portion alias snd-card-0 snd-card-awacs # OSS/Free portion alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # OSS/Free portion - card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss But I have no idea where to find the alsa rpms. I'm assuming they're installed. I do see a /usr/share/alsa directory... rpmfind.net and linuxppc.org don't have alsa for ppc. Thanks again, Jeff
