[expert] Fw: Yet another printing question
Greetings again all... Having seen no response to the below, I "reinstalled/upgraded" tonight and paid particular attention to the printer configuration. In a nutshell, I could not get CUPS to accept/configure my printer (and I chose all, alternatives that were available for my HP DeskJet 970Cse), the result each time was "An error occurred - foomatic-configure failed." So I chose lprng. At least I was able to get a test page to print fine during the "install" process from the CD installation routine. However, I still cannot print...nothing happens. MDK 8.0 was fine. Did something funny change relative to printing between 8.0 and 8.1? I don't understand why printing seems to be such rocket science in Linux. Rob Begin forwarded message: Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2001 22:26:50 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Yet another printing question Greetings all, I have been struggling to get printing to work ever since I installed MDK 8.1. It appears that my printer is recognized (or at least is reflected by name in the configuration files I've checked) leading me to believe I have a CUPS problem. Indeed, when I try (as root) in a terminal window to bring up KUPS, I receive the following: "Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed DCOPServer up and running. language: C" The Kups window then comes up but nothing is reflected as an installed printer.

RE: [expert] ifup ppp0
try telling msec to set your security as medium,, that should give you back access. if you want a real easy firewall that makes you totally invisable on the net (as much as possible anyway) download and install gShield, its really easy, REALLY configurable and has one really commented conf file that does everything. fantastic product.. the only thing I wish it had is: support for multiple IP address aliases (I have 7 other IP's in ppp0 that I have domains hanging off) but thats not too hard to do. Other then that it can do dynamic IP's, port forwarding, (really easily too) can be set to drop reject, forward etc as default, I have drop set as default, which gives "stealth" status when tested with a port scanner.

RE: [expert] System freezes when copying in second ide channel
What devices do you have attached to each channel and at what speed(s)? Also do you have an NVIDIA or 3DFX video card on your system and/or a SBLIVE card? There were some problems vis-à-vis the SBLive and the VIA chipset. Improper motherboard voltage/AGP jumpers also will cause system freezing during high DMA xfers with Nvidia, 3DFX and a few other video adaptors. Mis-matched hard drives will also cause this problem... I.E. if you have two drives, put them both on the first IDE channel, and make sure that they are from the same manufacturer and preferably fairly close in model/makes. (This is not a hard and fast rule though...) Try to avoid placing a third drive on the same IDE channel as a CD-ROM/DVD/CD-RW device. If you MUST do so, step the UDMA rate of the drive down to 33 in the bios and change the CD-ROM/DVD/CD-RW device to PIO instead of DMA... If the second IDE channel is UDMA 66 or 100 capable, are you using the high density IDE cables on both channels?

[expert] File permissions with StarOffice
One things I've noticed regarding StarOffice is that it seems to create a bunch of world writable files under /usr/local/office52 (which is where I installed it). Do those files really need to be world writable for StarOffice to function?

I figured as much, but wanted a second opinion. :-) Also, someone suggested to me that running setup again would offer an option to uninstall the software. I tried running the .bin file that was downloaded, but never got such an option. I just now tried (as root), going to the /usr/local/office52/program directory and then ran "./setup /net" (since I had orignally set it up with the /net option). This time, it *did* offer me that option. Running it without the /net part did not get such an offer - it just offered to install the "local" files needed to use the system-wide installation for me as the root user (I presume it will set up the files uner /root that are needed for me to run the packages if logged in as root). The above is just information, so that the next time someone asks the question, anyone who cares to answer will know to tell them that they need to run the setup program from the program directory where they installed it (and with the same option switch, it would seem), and not the .bin file they downloaded. :-) --Dave -- David Guntner GEnie: Just say NO! http://www.akaMail.com/pgpkey/davidg or key server for PGP Public key Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
