big machines running Debian?
Hi, at some Datacenter here on my country they only want the machines to be installed with RHEL or Suse, every time I dig more into those distros I fall in love more with Debian. This is why I'm asking about machines that have many cores and lots of RAM and plenty of disk. Here (at my country) big means more than 4x4 cores , more than 16Gb of RAM, and more than 1Tb on disk, excluding clusters, also SAN are good to know about. Is there a place where one can post the machines to make some feel of trusting for others? I'm using Debian from about 2000 and had the opportunity of use sparc, powerpc, x86 and AMD64 ports, and ever had to go back with another distro, I'm really happy with Debian, so I want to use it as many places as possible. Thanks in advacne for any information. -- Recomiendo Imágenes de OpenClipart http://www.openclipart.org signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I don't know about their size specs, but both linode and slicehost let you set up your own distro, mostly coloc though. Nuno Magalhães LU#484677 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

I think this depends on the kernel so it really shouldn't matter which distribution you use. We have NPTL now for threads thus I things should be just fine.

cups printer stopped printing locally
Hi, Since the recent CUPS package (1.3.9-14) upgrade in sid, a Samsung ML-1740 stopped printing from the local machine. Let me explain. - I've had 2 printers in my local machine managed through CUPS: the model above, and a Canon PIXMA MP150. Both printers set up in CUPS to be shared across my home network, and were working perfectly for years, printing from any computer in the network. When adding the Samsung printer to the CUPS server, there wasn't an option for a driver for this exact model, but the one for ML-1750 worked without problems. For the Canon printer, I had to install the Gutenprint drivers (cups-driver-gutenprint) package, to make it work properly. - Since the upgrade, the Samsung ML-1740 no longer prints from my local machine, but strangely, it does print from other computers in the network. The Canon printer continues to print fine from anywhere in the network. - Checking the logs, jobs sent to the Samsung ML-1740 from my local machine don't show any errors, but the server appears to be unable to determine the number of pages. Below are log entries for a file printed from local machine, and from another computer in the net: ++--+-+--+---+---+---+ |ID |Name |User |Size |Pages |State |Control| ++--+-+--+---+---+---+ |Samsung-1087|fileA |netuser |2030k |1 |completed at Fri Feb 20| | || | | | |15:11:09 2009 | | ++--+-+--+---+---+---+ |Samsung-1085|fileA |localuser|2030k |Unknown|completed at Fri Feb 20| | || | | | |15:07:17 2009 | | ++--+-+--+---+---+---+ Does anybody have any idea what may be happening, or see the same problem with the same printer?

Re: cups printer stopped printing locally
I just solved the problem. It appears the driver for the ML-1750 no longer works with ML-1740. The solution for was to use package splix, which provides a driver for this exact model, among many others. I probably should have been using this from the beginning.

If it didn't make it yet, I said there that I eventually found a solution by installing package splix. It actually has a driver for this particular model. I'm still baffled though because the printer printed fine from other computers in the network except localhost. But it doesn't matter anymore in my case because package splix made it print fine both from localhost and elsewhere in the network. -- Seb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
