printing on sparc
How does one go about setting up printing on a Sparc? The kernel supports parallel devices, I've installed and set up apsfilter (pretty much identically to my previous printserver, an x86 box). lpr runs fine and spools, but nothing ever prints. Attempting to cat a text file results in the following message: kodai:~# cat /tmp/pppcheck.tmp > /dev/lp0 bash: /dev/lp0: No such device even though 'ls -l /dev/lp*' shows: crw-rw-rw-1 root lp 6, 0 Jan 1 04:24 /dev/lp0 crw-rw1 root lp 6, 1 Jan 1 04:24 /dev/lp1 crw-rw1 root lp 6, 2 Jan 1 04:24 /dev/lp2 I've done some digging for an answer to this but have so far found nothing; any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have it running on a Netra...I don't know the exact model, but the hardware is the same as a SparcStation 5. It should run on almost any Netra machine, AFAIK they're just Sun workstations sans framebuffer.

Hi, I would like to know if Linux runs on the Netra server line from Sun. If it runs on which models does it run ?, what features are supported or unsupported. Regards, Get your free email from AltaVista at http://altavista.iname.com
broken root floppy?
Has anyone tried the root.bin floppy image latley? It didn't dd right to about 5 disks, and at least 2 or 3 of them were good disks that were able to use the rescue.bin image and boot, so I'm pretty sure they were working. Also, the image is an odd size, 1166KB, most of the images are 1440KB. Am I just having bad luck with disks, or is the image bad (tried from both ftp.us.debian.org and a couple mirror sites, a couple differnt versions too) Every one gave me cmp: EOF on root.bin after running cmp root.bin /dev/fd0 after trying to dd it do the floppy. Thanks, Mike
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast
Hi, I have a Sparcstaion5 that's not starting properly. Seems getty is going insane on all the tty's It gets as far as starting cron (after I have several other sparc's with (mostly) identical installs on which this doesn't happen. Any ideas why this is happening? The machine is headless so I only really need ttyS0 working (and could probably live without that if I had too... -Jon
debian's packages for sparc4
Hello, I need to know which packages can be included in my sparc4. I'd already searched on webpages for this information. Unfortunately, I hadn't found it. Does anybody know which is the most updated netscape's version? I'm wainting for your answer. Thanks a lot, Shiroma.

It's just for i386 and Alpha. -- Non c'è più forza nella normalità, c'è solo monotonia.
Re: Reiserfs
I have no idea if reiserfs runs on sparc or not, I know they're just now getting the Alpha port in working order. The error you're getting is related to a define that they have gotten into the errno.h for i386 but no other arches yet, at the bottom of include/asm/errno.h add an entry like: #define EHASHCOLLISION127 /* reiserfs hash collision */ and that should fix that error. Eventually when reiserfs is in the kernel (around 2.4.1) this should be taken care of. Jim > I tried to compile a 2.2.18 with reiserfs-support.

Printing on Ultra 10
I'm trying to install a printer to my Sparc machine. su cd /dev MAKEDEV lp modprobe parport_ax modprobe lp cat something.txt > /dev/lp0 and the machine hangs up, I can use only STOP-A to reboot. What is the problem? Where can I find info about printing on SparcLinux? Gabor PS. The printer is Deskject 720C which works from Pentium with Debian 2.2 and pbm2ppa.

You may install the Netscape Navigator or Communicator from the Netscape WEB site(home.netscape.com). They are listed in the Archive 4.5x, UNIX SPARC Linux edition. Gabor

Hi again, exactly the same for me... I tried to launch it with the -nt option, so I can see what's appening. Apparently it crashes when it try to join a server... I tried again after compiling it with target 'debug', but the core file gave me no clues. I do the backtrace, but it couldn't find any information for the adresses which were on the stack. This let me think (with orror :))) that the bug could be in some library. Anihow, I submitted a bug report (bug #161) to eggdrop people. I hope they can do something :))) Cheers -- Leo TheHobbit IRCnet #flct ICQ 56656060 -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GED/CS d? s-:+>-: a C+++ U+++ L++(+++)> P+++>+ E+(++) W++ N+ K? o? !w O?

RE: Eggdrop
I installed it last week and had problems. It installed into all the right places, I wrote a config script, ran the bot and it claimed that it had been sent into the background. no such luck, as quick 'ps aef' claimed that it did not exist, and it was not trying to join any of the servers I tried in the config. any ideas ? > -Original Message- > From: Frodo Baggins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 17 January 2001 00:29 > To: debian-sparc@lists.debian.org > Subject: Eggdrop > > > Hi debianers, > I just installed Debian potato on a sparc Ultra 5.
