[gentoo-user] Send EOF to lp0?
Good morning, I've been struggling with setting up a printer. I believe that it's setup correctly but when sending a job it blinks. :( linuxprinting says to "Send EOF" in driver options. I've looked with cups and lpoptions and this isn't listed. I'm at a loss, Would anyone please throw me a bone ta chew on? Thanks, Jesse I've posted at : http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=92410 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] What do you like best on Gentoo?
Hello Gentooers!
Sry to interject but I must say that I really like the fact that portage
cleans out a lot of the old ebuilds.
In fact I'd like to see more house keeping.
One possible suggestion would be the addition of a package
("portage-archives" maybe ?) that extracts the old ebuilds to your portage
overlay,
hopefully maintaining categories. Then pick what ever ya want.
This would help the gentoo rsync mirrors and still satisfy those that
crave the features/semantics of old. :)
Thanks and Happy Gentooing!(Isn't that a national holiday yet!?)

Re: [gentoo-user] X flicker,flicker,flicker fine...
Hello Sami, Thanks for spending some time to help me out. I've tried these settings to no avail. :( Option "UseEdidFreqs" "0" Option "IgnoreEDID""1" When the driver loads, EDID is igrored. The monitor cannot be probed because of the KVM. In the README it states that when IgnoreEDID is set, values are used from a hardcoded table. I also noticed a SoftEDID driver setting. But this appears to be for flat panels. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again, Jesse.

Hello Bret, Thanks, always helps to share the tricks-o-the-trade. Some of the archives I made were not fully reliable and took forever to deflate. Can u suggest a few good resources for cpio? I'll be checkin the man and docs but any "words-o-wisdom" would be greatly appreciated. Have u used Amanda? It's a automated network 2 tape backup system from the univ. of Maryland I believe. Very KOOL. Thanks again, Jesse.

Thinking again . This only applies if serving ip's to windows boxes. Also check UDP port 67 - in and 68 - out of the interface. HTH again, J.

Re: [gentoo-user] Prob w/ dhcpcd...
Hello Ian, just type as is route add --host 255.255.255.255 dev eth0 this allows the routing decision to believe that the 255.255.255.255 is the local host which passes the request to local processes(i.e. dhcpd) HTH, J.

Re: [gentoo-user] I'm no tar geru
Hello everyone, First thank you for the great responses. As with any one that uses Linux I don't give up easily and used: find / -maxdepth 1 > /tar.test.txt nano /tar.test.txt ** removed /exports,/proc,/tmp etc. ** tar cvjpf /exports/full-test-backup090303.tar.bz2 -T tar.test.txt ** this was missing directories though /exports,/proc,/tmp Not perfect, and took forever on the loaded system. Now that you have provided me with the correct syntax I'll have to redo it(another trait of Linux users seems to be the constant stride to perfection, haven't u noticed :) ). When searching, I found a great little cronjob/script for full and incremental weekly backups using tar. I'll post it as soon as I get home :) Thanks again guys, Jesse.

[gentoo-user] I'm no tar geru
Hello everyone, I would like to backup my system minus some dirs. I print to a file the files/dirs i'd like to skip mount /dev/hda1 /boot find /proc > /tar.test.txt find /exports >> /tar.test.txt tar -cvjpsPf -X /tar.test.txt / /exports/backup-full-090303.tar.bz2 But when the archive starts the specified dirs are included :) I hope to use this for compiling a optimised i686/athlon-xp base to be used for my own rapid deployment. Also I've noticed the archives in /usr/portage/distfiles/*.tbz2 or tar.bz2 I was hoping I could tar these and extract to the fresh base for a little bandwith savings.
