openoffice,cups,samba, and n-up
hi folks, The printer use is hooked up to a little printserver/router which runs an lp queue. I can't access it directly, so instead I go through a shared windows printer queue on anotherm achine. Prining works fine, but lately, I've been printing out Openoffice Impress slideshows to take notes on. This works best if I print the slideshows in 4-up mode. However, there's no n-up configuration in either the Openoffice print dialog, orthe CUPS web-based printer configuration screens. Does anyone knowa work3aroun1d for this situation? I imagine, given that OOo (this is 1.9.108, btw, using the packages from people.debian.org) seems to lack a native n-up processing utility, that the best thing to do would be to somehow rig up a new printer definition in CUPS which somehow piped the data into a 4-up filter before sending it to the printer; but I don't know how to do this. any hints? thanks, matt -- .''`.

Re: Partimage under Sarge?
--- William Ballard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I see that Partimage is a Piece Of Crap(tm). Is it? Oh. Why? I like it. I can't live without partimage or partimage-like functionality. I gave up trying to use the partimage server/client model as it kept corrupting images across (our) network (perhaps this is why your description is a fitting one...). Couldn't get it to work once, after much trying. So I now partition the client harddrive (e.g. /dev/hda1 30gb, /dev/hda5 5gb) and use sysrescue (with partimage on it) live cd to boot the client and image /dev/hda1 to /dev/hda5. Incidently I use run_qtparted on the sysrescue live cd to partition. Step 2 is to scp the image to our server for central storage. It's actually *quicker* than the server/client model too (5 mins to transfer a typical image, then 5 mins to restore it). I thought it would take longer, but it turns out to be a handy way round it for us. Just used this method to clone 20 laptops. Very successful. Next stage, I plan to just use an NFS export from our server, boot sysrescue on the client and mount the NFS export locally on the client. Then use partimage to image the client hard drive straight to the server's NFS export mount. Foresee any issues with that plan? Ta -- Matt ___ How much free photo storage do you get?

network boot cd?
Hi all, I have a great debian box that I have configured to allow logins via xdmcp (?). At the moment, I'm installing debian on the clients with working X install, then changing gdm.conf to point to our terminal server (the debian box). It all works a treat - but requires overkill installs on the harddrives of the clients - I'm well aware this is more than is needed. What I'd really like is this... A cd (knoppix like) that boots, configures network, configures x, then (and this is the crux) automatically does an X -query 192.168.0.250 (the ip of my wonderful terminal server). This makes a wonderfully easy and flexible cd that can be used anywhere on site to instantly turn a Windows box into a linux X client. It means no net driver worries or X config setups via ltsp (which is great if you have 50 similar machines - we don't - and floppies for ltsp are unreliable - and I don't have the time to configure genuine boot roms, etc.) Anyone know how to produce such a small modification to something that already exists? Such as Knoppix or preferebly something much smaller. *All* I need is network and X autoconfig - none of the applications that come on knoppix.

theoretische Frage - Partimage
Hallo miteinander, ich habe hier mal eine theoretische Frage. ich habe meine Festplatte folgendermaßen partitioniert: /boot = 50MB / = 2,8GB /usr = 4,6GB /home = Rest da ich nun aber WindowsXP deinstallieren will, und den dadurch freigewordenen Platz für Linux nutzen will, stellt sich mir die Frage ob ich aus den ersten 3 Partitionen nicht in eine gemeinsame machen soll, da sie mir viel zu gross erscheinen. Wenn ich nun mit Partimage von jeder ein Image erstelle, dann formatiere (natürlich die images wegsichere :-) ), das minimal-system nochmals installiere mit 10GB für / und Rest für /home, und dann jede der 3 images in die eine grosse 10GB partition mit partimage wieder entpacke, müsste doch alles ohne probleme funktionieren, und ich habe wieder das system so konfiguriert wie vorhin? oder irre ich mich da gewaltig?

Grund: Mir waren zu viele Knoppixsachen drauf, die ich nicht haben wollte. Und als ich diese Packages ersetzen bzw. lösche wollte, wollte er mir fast alles wieder deinstallieren. Knoppix ist wirklich gut und viele Einstellungen (Grafikkarte z.Bsp.) habe ich mir von Knoppix koppiert, aber dann wirklich mir das Original zugelegt. Vielleicht ist ubuntu, oder wie das sich das nennt, komfortabler als woody oder sarge, wobei ich den Sarge-Installer schon sehr gut und komfortabel finde Es gibt ja auch noch ganz andere, debian-basierende Linux. Ich denke da an Wien. CU Michael -- Michael Ott, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED], www.zolnott.de I am registered as user #275453 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org. Hallo, meinem Vorgänger kann ich nur zustimmen, ich hatte früher auch einmal kurz Knoppix 3.4 installiert, aber nach kurzer Zeit habe ich die Erfahrung gemacht, dass Knoppix einfach zu viele unnötige Pakete installiert, und dadurch viel plattenspeicher beansprucht. Die hervorragende autokonfiguration der hardware durch knoppix ist klar ein großer vorteil, aber aus zuverlässigen quellen habe ich erfahren, dass die sarge netinstall minimal-cd http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/rc2/sarge-i386-netinst.iso eine mindestens gleichwertige automatische erkennung der geräte aufweist, wie eben knoppix. für den servergebrauch würde ich jedenfalls, woddy (stable) minimal-cd empfehlen, da bei dieser version auch regelmäßig sicherheits-updates zur verfügung stehen. http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian-minicd/woody-i386-1.iso soviel zu meiner meinung gruss patrik -- Haeufig gestellte Fragen und Antworten (FAQ): http://www.de.debian.org/debian-user-german-FAQ/ Zum AUSTRAGEN schicken Sie eine Mail an [EMAIL PROTECTED] mit dem Subject unsubscribe.

I agree with this, with the caveat that you should already be experienced with Debian before you try to do it seriously. It will run flawlessly most of the time, but eventually an upgrade, or something you try to do (e.g. installing from another unstable repository) will probably require some maintenance. With that said, what I usually do for my servers is do an update every two weeks, storing the list of packages that WOULD be upgraded in a text file. Then when I do my next update, I compare that list vs the list of two weeks ago and only install the packages that HAVEN'T changed. This gives me a selection of two week old packages that MOST LIKELY work (since critical bugs are usually fixed within two weeks). That's not a bad idea; I would almost consider doing that on my desktops (although atm testing/sarge is pretty up to date on the user visible stuff, e.g. GNOME). FWIW: on my servers, I run a mix of testing/unstable; to minimize unforeseen downtime I only upgrade every 3-6 months (and keep my ear to the ground for security issues in the applications we run, in case I might need to do it sooner). mb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

How to access external USB hard drive?
Hi everyone. I'm running Debian Sarge with kernel 2.6.8-1-686 (from the deb kernel package). I just bought a USB drive enclosure with a drive that I wish to mount in Debian. I'm not sure what I need to do to make this happen. I plugged the unit into the USB port but I didn't see anything appear in the syslog. I also did modprobe usb-storage which also appeared to do nothing. I know the drive and enclosure are good since I was able to use it on a Windows box. USB is enabled in my BIOS settings. Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

distro for novices
Hi folks, this is not a troll, really! I'm just looking for some advice. I've been using Debian exclusively for about 2.5 years, and it's the only linux with which I really have any experience. I teach in the history department at a Canadian university and have been asked to teach a somewhat unusual coursee next semester: not history at all, but a kind of technical self-sufficiency not-for-credit community-based course in a local housing project. Students will asssemble their own computers, install an operating system, and learn how to use it. The students will come from a pretty wide variety of backgrounds; many will be refugees and refugee claimants, others are new immigrants to Canada. In other courses offered in this program, a high percentage of students have been (HIGHLY motivated) middle-aged women, and that will probably be the case with this one again. I'm very excited about the course but a little worried about which distro to use in the class. As I said, am only really familiar with Debian and quite love it; but I do all my sysad work on the command line and use the menu system very little, so I'm not sure my experience is especially relevant. I'm worried that's not the best approach for this class. So, I guess I want to ask, which distros would folks recommend for the following situation: - novice computer users, who probably know how to use a web browser, an email client, and a mouse on windows, but little else; - relatively slow hardware (hopefully not ancienct, but in any case not cutting edge); I'm not looking for beauty or even speed, really; I *am* looking for out-of-the-box usability, compatibility with both old and new hardware (especially plugin devices like mp3 players, which are likely used by the kids of some students), and accessability. I had a bit of a wake up call this week when I tried out Ubuntu. I know it's based on Debian, and uses gnome, which really isn't so far from my desktop, xfce. But I found it surprisingly confusing to use; having everything hidden behind the gui layer seems quite foreign to me now. so I really don't want to give folks a distro in which the ocnf files need constant tweaking, as I've found they sometimes do in Debian (at least in Sid, which I guess is an unfair comparison). anyway, thanks as always, matt PS: any suggestions as to which list this request really belongs on? -- .''`.

samba/pam/winbind username case
Hi all, Not sure whether to turn to smb.conf, my pam config or somewhere else to sort his one. Some pointers would be appreciated. I've got my debian terminal server authenticating from an NT server. Very pleased. It's even creating home directories on the debian machine with pam mk_homedir. Great. Glitch... the debian box now allows logins as both JSMITH and jsmith, which is fine, except it sometimes creates /home/JSMITH and /home/jsmith as two *different* directories and the users say 'I logged in but can't find my work'. I'll have 600 hundred lower case accounts and probably eventually 600 duplicate upper case accounts! Can I restrict it to either or. Or let it know that it doesn't need to assign a new dir for JSMITH if jsmith already exists.

Re: custom compiled 2.6.9 kernel; broke gcc

Re: Automatic mount of usb-storage devices on 2.4.*?
On Fri, 2004-11-19 at 09:03 -0600, Nate Bargmann wrote: Hi All. No, this is not about the auto-mounter. What I am trying to do is figure out how to consistently mount a given usb-storage device no matter the order it was inserted. A little background. I am running Testing on a Thinkpad 390E with the kernel-image 2.4.26 and hotplug packages. I have a camera that is recognized by Hotplug as a usb-storage device and a memory stick that is recognized as a usb-storage device as well. I put a custom user.map in /etc/hotplug/usb and the devices are recognized and run my custom script. So far, so good. The first device inserted after a system restart (or hotplug restart) will become /dev/sda1 and the second will be /dev/sdb1 (both are single partitioned vfat devices). This is also good, but also where my trouble starts. I would like to be able to write a custom script that can figure out which device file the currently inserted device is associated with and mount it at certain directory. To do it manually I have to guess, but I would imagine the kernel stores this somewhere in /proc and I have yet to find it. I find that /proc/partitions will give the major/minor device numbers of filesystem devices, but I haven't figured out some way to associate the USB device to a given partition. I am using the Debian 2.4.26 kernel and the hotplug package and would like to be able to mount the devices in my filesystem each time they are inserted. Has anyone tackled this? I understand that this is much easier/possible on the 2.6 kernels, but I haven't been able to get 2.6 to support my older Thinkpad as well as 2.4 does. I can work around this by having a couple of different mount lines in fstab, but that isn't as elegant as I would like to implement. easiest way is to use 2.6 kernel, hotplug, and udev. -matt zagrabelny -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Where are config questions in install of latest sarge, and other questions...
1. It never asked me the hardware config questions I was used to with both woody and sarge. What happened to them, how do I find out what device support is installed, and get support for devices that might not be installed (i.e., download drivers for stuff- although now that I've said it, I guess they're just apt packages, right?). hardware support boils down to drivers compiled into the kernel or compiled as modules. to check if certain modules are loaded do 'lsmod'. i am not sure how to check if certain drivers are compiled into the kernel. 2. My desktop went from KDE to Gnome. Is this normal? Where do I set the default desktop? often times you can choose your desktop by using your display manager. the default desktop probably depends on which display manager (gdm, kdm, or xdm) is running. 3. This machine is to be used primarily for software development. Any opinions on which desktop is best for that? 4. I can't log in to the X desktop as root. Where do I fix that? Is this in /etc/X11/config (I'm not at my Debian system)? again, the display manager (at least for gdm) has a setting where you can disable root logins. -matt zagrabelny -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Xvfb and X authorization

I've flipped through the Xserver and Xsecurity man pages but I'm still at a bit of a loss as to how to get Xvfb to read the authorization file, or maybe I'm using the wrong one. I tried this: Xvfb :86 -auth /home/matt/.Xauthority -screen scrn 800x600x32 just for the archive: found the solution on the net, the file named by -auth should simply contain host names in cleartest. In my case I made a file /etc/X99.cfg containing the single line: localhost and call Xvfb thus: Xvfb :86 -auth /etc/X99.cfg -screen scrn 800x600x32 all fixed! -- .''`.

slightly OT: debian-friendly print server?
hi folks, this is a hardware question, so maybe slightly OT. I am looking for a way to make our 2 printers easily accessible over the 'net, nad wouldl ove to hear back on other people's experience. here's what we have: 1 brother hl-1440 laser printer 1 canon s520 inkjet printer 2 debian boxes (one laptop, one desktop) 2 windows boxes network currently runs through a smc2404wbr wireless (802.11b) router (which I confess doesn't work all that well). I'm looking for something that would make one or, preferably, both the printers accessible directly over the net, and that isn't a huge pain to make work with the debian boxes (I've had some difficulty with shared printers over SAMBA at work, tho I think that's partly the fault of the Windoze admins there). both these printers accept parallel port and USB 1.1/2.0 connections, so either mode would be fine, tho I guess usb 2.0 would be best. I'd also be willing to pay out a few more bucks for a combination wireless router/ print server, since our router kinda sucks. Look forward to hearing from y'all! matt -- .''`.

I'm too cheap to buy hardware just for a print server around the house, so I've setup my Debian box to do the job. Using cups, netatalk and samba, all the Debian, Mac OS X and windows 98 machines in my house are able to print. It works great for me. that sounds great. but I'd kinda rather not have the debian desktop turned ON all the time -- it's a bit powerhungry and kinda loud. Will keep this in mind as a possible solution, though. thx! mat Recently, due to some interesting circumstances (unrelated to hardware and software) we had to move the printer to the Windows machine, instead of being connected directly to my Debian box. No problem - I just edited the printer in cups on my machine, after setting up the printer on the Windows machine and now all the Linux machines and OS X can print again. Only 2 machines had to be configured to restore all the printing - the windows machine and the print server. that is pretty cool, actually. m -- .''`.
