CUPS client problem
Hello, I have a new laptop (Dell D620, with etch freshly installed) from my new job and I am trying to print using CUPS. The situation is the following, at work there are two different networks: xxx.xxx.10.xxx (let's call it 'internal') and xxx.xxx.20.xxx (let's call it 'external'). The cups print server is a machine on the internal network and my laptop is connected on the external network. I am not seeing any printers whereas when my laptop was on the internal network CUPS could detect automatically all the available printers. Do you have any idea of what I am missing? I tried to add the name of the CUPS server in /etc/cups/client.conf but then when I go to "Desktop/Administration/Printings" I obtain the message: "The CUPS server could not be contacted" Any help would be welcomed, Cheers, Nicolas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi! Just for closing this thread. I finally got 3d acceleration and OpenGL working well following the installation method from http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html. Celestia and Tuxracer are running smooth. Thanks to everybody Nico Nicolas de Sereville wrote: Hi! A big thanks to everybody who spare some time helping me. I now have the 3D acceleration working! My error was very stupid... As suggested by Wim, when removing my previous installation, the "dpkg --purge fglrx" command left some files that I did not erased, so I had a mix within new and old files. Deleting the directory and compiling again the kernel module was just fine. Also, I tried with two options: DRM compiled in th kernel and without DRM. The results are the same. However, I have some problem with OpenGL. Celestia is crashing with the error: "Unable to resolve GL/GLX symbols - please check your GL library installation." and the tuxracer is not well running. When racing I can see a lot of "flashing triangles". Is there some files I can check to see if OpenGL is well installed? Anyway, I will try now this method (http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html) to see if it resolves my OpenGL problem.

Following the "ATI Radeon Linux How-To", I managed to get the 3D acceleration with the previous xserver version (4.3.0.dfsg.1-6) but overwriting the MESA libGL library with the ATI one, through a "dpkg --force-overwrite -i fglrx.deb". Everything worked well but I had a lot of troubles upgrading the xserver due to the libGL library.

installation CUPS + LexmarkZ55

So I read the logs and I can see the line: "D [09/Oct/2004:13:56:00 +0200] [Job 10] sh: /usr/local/lexmark/z53/z53: No suchfile or directory" which doesn't exist since I have the Z55 model running with the Z53 ppd file. I made a symlink of /usr/local/lexmark/z53/z53 to /usr/local/lexmark/z55/lexmarkz55 which seems to be the Z55 driver, but now the error is: "D [09/Oct/2004:13:05:58 +0200] [Job 9] Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:" I can see the jobs in the queue with a "plq" but they are not coming out to the printer.

Hi! However, I have some problem with OpenGL. Celestia is crashing with the error: "Unable to resolve GL/GLX symbols - please check your GL library installation." and the tuxracer is not well running. When racing I can see a lot of "flashing triangles". Is there some files I can check to see if OpenGL is well installed? Anyway, I will try now this method (http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html) to see if it resolves my OpenGL problem.

Re: ATI 3D acceleleration and dpkg-divert
Hi! A big thanks to everybody who spare some time helping me. I now have the 3D acceleration working! My error was very stupid... As suggested by Wim, when removing my previous installation, the "dpkg --purge fglrx" command left some files that I did not erased, so I had a mix within new and old files. Deleting the directory and compiling again the kernel module was just fine. Also, I tried with two options: DRM compiled in th kernel and without DRM. The results are the same. However, I have some problem with OpenGL. Celestia is crashing with the error: "Unable to resolve GL/GLX symbols - please check your GL library installation." and the tuxracer is not well running. When racing I can see a lot of "flashing triangles". Is there some files I can check to see if OpenGL is well installed? Anyway, I will try now this method (http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html) to see if it resolves my OpenGL problem.

When I desinstalled the previous "fglrx" package to upgrade the xserver, it told me that some files could not be erased.

There will be a means of telling the make which kernel and which module(s) to make. First, untar the kernel source. Create a "linux" symlink from the /usr/src to the kernel source head directory. Then, copy the system config from boot to the linux src folder as .config. make oldconfig. Then, start the kernel compile. Make is enough. You do not have to go through the whole mess. Once it starts doing CC compilations, you can stop it. What this does is makes sure all the .h files are where they are needed. Now compile the DRM--you may need to give it the path the the linux src folder. Finally, copy the resulting .ko file to the appropriate /lib/modules/ . folder. Reboot.

The "make World" from this CVS would not compile successfully but apparently was not needed--stuff from Sid was enough. Thank you for all this information! I reread the method I followed to install the propriatary driver fglrx (http://g-tec.co.at/ati_alt.html) and I found just before the "Notes about 2.6.x kernels" section that "DRM" was not supported by the ATI drivers. In my case and my actual kernel, "DRM" is compiled. So I am a little bit lost. I remember having read on the web (was not abble to find the web page again...) that one way for making work the 3D acceleration was using the ATI propriatary drivers *or* DRM/DRI *or* the gatos project. Am I right? So if I understand well, you suggest to install DRM/DRI and not the propriatary drivers. Ithink I will try first to deal with the propriatary drivers and recompile my kernel without the DRM activated. It may take some time since I am not very used to do that yet!

[install stuff...] Are you sure the user you're running fglrxinfo with has access to opengl (eg member of group video) and that you have the ATI kernel module installed? Running the "groups" command shows that the user belongs to the video group. Also, the fglrx module is loaded (I can see it with lsmod).

Sounds good, but just to be sure check your xfree startup log. I had this fail a while back because of AGP support problems.

Re: [SOLVED] keyboard not working after upgrade
Hi, my keyboard is working again! Let me explain what I did. After switching off the Xserver by ssh'ing I was able to use my keyboard at the console. Then after installing icewm, I "startx" and was able to use my keyboard in this environment so the problem was related to KDM/KDE. I then tried to use GDM and KDE and I was able to enter my login and password in the GDM greeting screen, so it was KDM related stuff. Then I played with the KDM configuration files and could not obtain anything so I did an "apt-get distupgrade" (i am running unstable and not testing as stated in my first message). And everything is now working. I can log in KDM without any problem!

keyboard not working after upgrade
Hi! This is the first time I write to this list and I am quite a newbie with debian. Here is my problem. I am running debian testing (kernel 2.6.6) and yesterday I upgraded some packages (vim, xemacs, *kdm*, ...). Now my keyboard is not working anymore when kdm asks me for the user and password. I can use the keyboard to choose the OS I want to boot from lilo, but when the x session begins it stops working. I can only enter in my box from another computer through ssh. I guess it is related to the xserver but I cannot figure how. I put in attachment the logs from the XFree server but I don't know enough to see from where comes the problem.
