NEC SuperScript 860 laser printer??
Hi all, I was going to buy NEC SuperScript 860 printer. So I looked at the printer drivers and did not see one that match this. Can this printer be used in Linux? If so, how/what should I use in terms of driver? Here is spec for this printer: Speed 8ppm Resolution: 600dpi Memory: 1m Processor: 50MHz PrintGear imaging processor Printer Languages: Adobe PrintGear HP PCL 4 Do I need to know anything else?

dumb CDROM question
Hi. I've been using Slackware for a wgile and decided it's now time to switch over to Debian. I've booted off the boot disk w/ "linux aha152x=0x340,11,7,1" - similar to what I needed for Slackware to recognize my CDROM. I installed the cdrom module and the sr_mod module. When it comes time to reboot the system from hard disk, all goes well but I can't mount my CDROM. There is no /dev/sr0 device (what I used to use.) None of the CDROM devices set up by the install allow me to mount it either. Is there a different device I need to use instead, or did I forget to do something? Any help would be appreciated. I'm dying to get Debian up and running! Thanks. Dave PS: It's a SCSI cdro - need to mount it so I can install rest of packages from CD. -Thanks! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: too many open files?
Might want to look into the following settings for Apache. # Server-pool size regulation. Rather than making you guess how many # server processes you need, Apache dynamically adapts to the load it # sees --- that is, it tries to maintain enough server processes to # handle the current load, plus a few spare servers to handle transient # load spikes (e.g., multiple simultaneous requests from a single # Netscape browser). # It does this by periodically checking how many servers are waiting # for a request. If there are fewer than MinSpareServers, it creates # a new spare. If there are more than MaxSpareServers, some of the # spares die off. These values are probably OK for most sites --- MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 10 # Number of servers to start --- should be a reasonable ballpark figure. StartServers 5 # Limit on total number of servers running, i.e., limit on the number # of clients who can simultaneously connect --- if this limit is ever # reached, clients will be LOCKED OUT, so it should NOT BE SET TOO LOW. # It is intended mainly as a brake to keep a runaway server from taking # Unix with it as it spirals down... MaxClients 150 # MaxRequestsPerChild: the number of requests each child process is # allowed to process before the child dies. # The child will exit so as to avoid problems after prolonged use when # Apache (and maybe the libraries it uses) leak. On most systems, this # isn't really needed, but a few (such as Solaris) do have notable leaks # in the libraries.

Computer insane behaviour!
Hi all, I know this is not debian specific, but anyway... I really can't believe my eyes, but I'm under this situation: I have 2 identical (Quantum IDE, 1.7Mb) hard disks. I divided one of them in several partitions and installed different debian configs on each in order to install from it to other machines (one partition for each computer). The other HD has a linux and a dos partition. When I copy (using cpio -pdm) from one HD to the other, the copy doesn't work right (only for this particular disk). The first disk works fine on the same computer, though. I came across two errors: man reports "can't open /etc/ld.so.cache" and "can't open libgdbm.so.1". The files are there and are equal to the originals. Another error is, when trying to login with my username, it says "can't cd to /home/nel: permission denied". The permissions on the directory are ok. I copied the whole HD 3 times, imagining it should be a copy problem, but the errors are exactly the same. What the heck is going on I'd be grateful if anyone has an idea about this...

[Help] MouseSystems and X11
Hello = I have tried to install Debian Linux in my machine this weekend and I was not totally well succedd. Unix - ok X11 - not ok After a sucesfull instalation of the Unix from a CD (it recognizes the CD the HardDisk the Floppy the printer the Screen) I went to install the packages (TeX, Emacs, Lisp, GCC, X11R6,...). But in the X11 configuration it ask me about my mouse and offer many options, mine it is "MouseSystems" (I have a three buttons Mouse Systems compatible optical mouse), I choose that options, Then it ask for the driver, I think the I must choose "msmouse" but if I choose that option it says that it is not a proper device :(. If I choose "MouseSystems" and "mouse" and after that I try to use X11 it hangs completly. Can you help me?

Re: too many open files?
Hi > I tried running apache and got back the "too many open files" error. There are generally two possible errors: You can have too many files open on your system (say you have lots of programs that are opening a few files each) or a single process (like apache) can open 256 files (this is the default value) The one you can increase on the fly, the other not. To increase the total number that you can open on the system, you can "echo" values to various files in /proc (assuming you are running 2.0.latest) > How can I check/monitor the number of file descriptors being used?? cat /proc/sys/kernel/file-nr (maximum Overall open files on system opened) cat /proc/sys/kernel/inode-nr (maximum Overall open inodes on system opened) cat /proc/sys/kernel/file-max (maximum files on the system that can be opened concurrently) cat /proc/sys/kernel/inode-max (maximum inodes on the system that can be opened concurrently) > Where do I change it if it needs to be increased? If you want to increase the files per process, have a look at http://www.linux.org.za/tweak.html (Yes, I know that it is almost the only thing on the server :( If you want to increase the number of maximum open files (ie the value in file-max is the same as the value in file-nr) you can echo values as follows: echo "4096" >/proc/sys/kernel/file-max echo "12288" >/proc/sys/kernel/inode-max (inode-max's value is almost allways 3 times the size of file-max, keep it that way!)

Trying to remove gpm
Howdy, About one month ago, I crashed my system something fierce. My mouse has a bouncy middle button that I havn't gotten around to doing anything about. Anyway, I was running Ghostview and draging the scroll bar down and I wandered ooff the bar and onto the page. OK, no problem except my mouse decided to bounce the middle button about 40-50 times. After Ghostview tried to open the 15-20th zoom window the system froze. After an ugly reboot, xdm would not start X Windows unless gpm was killed. Now that I have everything back to "normal", I have decided that I don't need gpm any more.
