Printing to Lantronix EPS1 via LPD
I'm trying to configure a new Debian (v3.0r1) server to print to an HP Laserjet 4 connected to my home network via a Lantronix EPS1 print spooler. I have the following in /etc/printcap: joyce|lj4:\ :rm=joyce:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/joyce:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:\ :lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\ :pl#66:\ :pw#80:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: I can ping and telnet to joyce, the Lantronix box, from my Debian machine. I can send a job to lpr, e.g. 'echo testing | lpr -P joyce', and it gets queued up, but just sits there. 'lpc status' says joyce: queuing is enabled printing is enabled 1 entry in spool area waiting for queue to be enabled on joyce I can print to this printer from a Windows XP machine, so I think the spooler and printer are working. Just that the Debian box is missing some bit of information. Thanks very much for any help!

Re: modifying /etc/motd during boot
/etc/motd doesn't really have anything to do with the boot process. It is displayed to all users when they log in. You could change your script to just echo the top 3 things and call the script from ~/.bash_profile instead. That way only you see the top 3 things on your to-do list, not everyone. HTH. Hope you have a very nice day, :-) Tim Ayers ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) P.S. I'm assuming you don't have other users logging in to your machine, but /etc/motd is just kind of the wrong place for this.

Darn. Syntax error. Take off the errant double-quote after 'mp3' in both
examples...
for f in *.wav; do lame $f ${f%%wav}mp3; done
Hope you have a very nice day, :-)

Hi.
How can I convert several *.wav to *.mp3, by the _one_ command, using lame. I'm interesting about batch mode.
Reading This F.. Manual didn't take desired effect :(.
And how can I redirect output trom cdparanoia -B to the lame ?
It's not clear. Are you trying to rip CDs or convert big groups of wav
files from some other source?
If you have a bunch of wav files you are converting, you could do
(assuming you are using bash or ksh)
me@mymachine:~$ for f in *.wav; do lame $f ${f%%wav}mp3; done
Obviously you put your desired lame parameters in front of the $f.
There's no way to redirect the output of cdparanoia -B to lame,
which by definition, creates files. You can't pipe real files.
You could use the above command preceded with the cdparanoia call...
me@mymachine:~$ cdparanoia -B blah blah ; for f in *.wav; do lame $f
${f%%wav}.mp3; done
There is a way to pipe output of one track from cdparanoia into lame or
you could just use one of the myriad ripper front-ends to
cdparanoia/lame that exist in the world. The cdparanoia site has a long
list at http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/links.html. I'm sure Google could
turn up others. These usually look up artist and title information
automatically, let you customize filename formats and generally make
things easier. Sounds like you'd like things to be easier. :-)
Hope you have a very nice day, :-)

Installing from boot disk and CD
Hi, I'm trying to install slink on a Compaq Deskpro 6000. This computer has an Adaptec SCSI controller so I need to boot using the special Rescue and Driver Floppies for Adaptec from http://www.debian.org/~adric/aic7xxx/. But I would like to install everything else from the CDs I ordered from Linuxmall. I've tried several permutations without luck. I'm hoping a kind soul will tell me the steps to take. :-) Thanks a lot! Hope you have a very nice day, :-) Tim Ayers ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Norman, Oklahoma
Re: good book to learn perl
This is probably more than people wanted to know, but... N == aphro [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: N can anyone reccomend a good book so i can start the task of learning perl N ? :) N i have virtually no programming experience, although i have managed to N hack some perl scripts up at times. I agree with others that 'Learning Perl' is the best book for people with little programming experiencing. Be certain to get the second edition that has been updated to Perl 5 (which is VERY different from Perl 4 that the first edition was based on.) I haven't seen the second edition so I don't know how Randal starts it off but in case he doesn't or for those who learn from the man pages or by looking at scripts I will give an unsolicited edict: Start every program with #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w use strict; use diagnostics; The '-w' turns on warnings. This catches a lot of bad practices before they become bad habits. The 'use strict;' catches a bunch more bad things. The 'use diagnostics;' provides detailed descriptions of what you might have done wrong to cause the warning or error, which is great for learning. But comment out or remove the 'use diagnostics;' before you put your script into production because it really slows the program down. Finally for people that are experienced programmers that want to learn Perl I would recommend AGAINST Learning Perl and recommend Perl: The Programmer's Companion by Nigel Chapman. For experienced programmers Learning Perl moves very slowly and barely touches interesting material. Programmer's Companion is just the opposite.

Driver for Compaq Netelligent network card
Hi, I'm trying to install Debian GNU/Linux on a Compaq Deskpro 6000. I'm stuck on getting the network to work. As far as I can tell the network card is a Netelligent 10/100 TX Embedded UTP Bus 0. Can anyone tell me which driver goes with that? Thanks! Hope you have a very nice day, :-) Tim Ayers ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
