Sony SDT-7000 Tape Drive & DDS2 Tapes?
[ Please Cc me on replies; I'm not subscribed to debian-user. ] Hey folks, I have a Sony SDT-7000 tape drive that can, theoretically, record up to 8 Gb of data on a DDS2 tape. However, I can only get it to store 4 Gb on any DDS2 tape I try (4 Gb == max for DDS1, iirc). Anyway, anyone has info on this? Have you experienced this problem before? Here's the logs from the kernel bootup: Vendor: SONY Model: SDT-7000 Rev: 0300 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 st: Version 20020205, bufsize 32768, wrt 30720, max init. bufs 4, s/g segs 16 Attached scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Thank you, Carlos. -- Carlos Laviola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> AlterNex S/A - (21) 2515-0500 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Xerox 212 printer on Debian (*NIX, actually)?
Hello, folks, I'm stuck with a problem: there's this Xerox 212 printer I have to get working on a Debian server that just won't print PostScript. It prints normal (ASCII) text, but it refuses to print PostScript properly -- either by throwing raw PS code, or by refusing to print (depending on what filter I'm trying at the moment). It seems to be PCL 6 compatible. I'm using lprng and magicfilter on the server. Any ideas? Thank you, Carlos.

Aliasing an IP address? [semi-OT]
Hello people, Here's the thing: I have a small network at work (4 computers, each one using a 10.0.0.x address). The Debian server is 10.0.0.1. There's a notebook at 10.0.0.4. However, the guy with the notebook already has a small network at home, which he wouldn't like to change to suit the IP addresses of work. He also doesn't like to always change the IP to 10.0.0.4 and wait for windows to boot one more time before he can start actually working, so he'd like me to, somehow, make his home network' IP address be recognized as local at the debian box. Is there a easy way to do that? My idea was to just alias his IP to the one he is supposed to use (10.0.0.4), so that the server thinks that traffic is coming from that IP regardless of what IP is set on his windoze box (even though it would be fixed). If you understand my question and know the answer, please help. :-) Thanks, Carlos. [BTW: If you don't mind, Cc to me, I'm not subscribed to -user atm.]

Well, try other JRE's, like Blackdown's (www.blackdown.org), or IBM's (that's the one I use: available at www.ibm.com/java).

Please, avoid posting in HTML and try to write in English, because that's the language most of the users understand. Anyway, about locales: You have to first edit /etc/locale.gen, then uncomment the locales you'd like to see compiled (in your case, es), then run /usr/sbin/locale-gen as root. Then, all you have to do is to export LANG=es and LC_ALL=es.

Well, try something along this: nmap -v -v -P0 -O A.B.C.1/24 Keep in mind that it will only scan machines in the "A.B.C.X" class C - i.e if you're scanning 10.1.2.X, it won't find machines under 10.1.3.X, of course.

Yes; security.d.o, aka non-US (pandora.d.o, in fact), is located in at the
Leiden University, in the Netherlands. Wichert posted a message to -devel

fix it. non-US is connecting normally here already.

Hey folks, Is anybody running Blackdown's port of the JRE, version 1.3.0 FCS? I tried that, and also v1.2.2, AND Debian's kaffe, but none seems to work at all.

exim & mutt
Hello, I have a dial-up machine and want to properly configure it to send mail using exim (mutt uses it). I receive my POP messages normally with it (and other mail clients), but I don't know how can I properly configure exim, specially to handle the fact that my machine's hostname is dynamic (it tries to use its local hostname, which doesn't exist, since it is just "debian"). What should I do?

Issues with X 4.0
Hello, I have just upgraded the X Window System to version 4.0. I was expecting to have a few problems with that, but the fact is that I just can't run it anymore (and I desperately need to!)... I tried to run dexter using several different settings. I tried simple, medium and expert Vsync and Hsync settings, but none worked. (I hand configured X 3.3.6 normally, using the values that come in my monitor's manual). My configuration is: Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 3 Video Card: Trident TGUI 9680 Mouse: Genius (3 buttons) (looks like it gets correctly selected when using the auto mode) If you can help, please do. Attached to this message is the log of the X session, and the configuration file dexter made. Since I am not subscribed to this list, a Cc or Bcc of the reply would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Carlos. -- _ _ _| _ _ | _ . _ | _http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~claviola/key.txt (_(_|| |(_)_) |(_|\/|(_)|(_| uin#: 55799523 (icq) Linux: the choice of a GNU generation - Registered Linux User #103594 I expect that noone has objections.
