Re: [ilugd] Unable to setup HP 1005 printer on Ubuntu

2005-10-12 Thread Saurabh Nanda
I had successfully set up an HP Laserjet 1000 some time ago. You need
to download the firmware and 'cat' it to the device whenever you plug
the printer in (or switch it on). The printer will not function
otherwise. Instead of manually uploading the firmware each time - you
can set up hotplug to automatically do it for you.

To top it of, IIRC, the firmware has been removed from all official HP
download channels. Try searching for lj1000.exe (or a similar sounding
filename) on Google to see if someone else has put the firmware up for
download.

 Ram,
 There are few printers from HP that run under Linux but need
 initialising when powered on. HP1005/1010 are two such printers. I
 do not remember the URL for this information but linuxprinting.org
 site gave me the work around and as long as the printer remains
 powered on it will keep working with whatever driver you load.
 You have to initialise the printer by giving a cat command and a
 download srcipt. I can look up thursday if you do not find any
 solution. Today being holiday at office. Alternatively google for this
 pon mailing list, I remember (vaguely) posting this solution a year or
 more back.
 
Hi,

Actually posting the solution would really help

We have searched the net and got the following links ad even followed 
them up. But we are probably missing something somewhere - and the we 
are all non techies - so there is a good chance of missing something 
obvious.

Yesterday we tried the following (with regards to the HP 1005).

followed the links at
http://wiki.clug.org.za/clugwiki/index.php/Adding_an_HP_LaserJet_1000_to_Linux
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1005

I think I repeated what Vivek did earlier - to try and get some response 
- even a damn blinking LED from the printer but zilch

first I did this
  $ wget http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz
 $ tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz
 $ cd foo2zjs

Then I followed the following instructions

Now compile and install it. The INSTALL file contains more detailed 
instructions; please read it now.

Compile:
 $ make

(Optional) Get extra files from the web, such as .ICM profiles for color
correction, and firmware:
 $ ./getweb 1005# Get HP LJ1005 firmware file

Then I did this:

Install driver, foomatic XML files, and extra files:
 $ su
 # make install

After this I tried
gnome-cups-manager the print manager and tried to install and stuff but 
it continues to show both pbmtozjs and foo2zjs- but nothing seems to happen.

I even tried the following
sudo gedit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
1.Find the the LogLevel option:
LogLevel info
and change the line to:
LogLevel none – changed to this on Oct 11th 2005
Save, exit, and type in the command
$ sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart

still nothing

*Are you suggesting that I do this*
cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1005.dl  /dev/usb/lp0

in cups script: /etc/init.d/cupsys

I can open the said cupsys file and edit it ad add the line , the 
question is where - the file (when opened in gedit ) has a lot of colors 
and operators or whateever they are called.

That am willing to try

Secondly, would't I need to do this once the printer is working ?? which 
at the moment it is not.

[ilugd] Touch and no go HP 1005

2005-10-12 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Okay
So now I have conected a usb cable to the HP 1005 printer and ran the 
following command

cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1005.dl  /dev/usb/lp0

ad now it atleast acknowledges that it may work - it shows a paper out 
blinker and stuff but I still cannot print.

I guess the next step is to select the correct USb port - so how do I 
check that.

 *Are you suggesting that I do this*
 cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1005.dl  /dev/usb/lp0

Simply issue the command given above once you plug-in the printer, and
hotplug detects/initializes that a USB printer has been plugged-in.
After you uploaded the firmware the printer should make some whirring
noises and some LEDs should blink. If that is happening you are on the
right track - you simply need to get the software/application level
drivers working.

[ilugd] apache2 and symlinks

2005-10-12 Thread Kenneth Gonsalves
hi,
i am running django on two boxen, one mandrake10 and the other freebsd. 
Both run on apache2+mod_python. The media for the web app (css, images, 
js) is served from a directory on /home. This directory is symlinked to 
the main python site-packages directory. The freebsd install runs 
perfectly. On mandrake, apache2 cant access the media saying 'symlinks 
not allowed'. The httpd.conf files are identical in the the two 
installs. In the mandrake install, when the real path is given there is 
no problem. Even if i put 'Options +FollowSymLinks' in the mandrake 
install the same problem arises. Cannot find anything in httpd2.conf or 
httpdcommon.conf which is barring symlinks. Any clues?

 From our last episode:

Creative Commons was launched in December, 2002. Within a year, we
counted over 1,000,000 link-backs to our licenses. At a year and a
half, that number was over 1,800,000. At two, the number was just
about 5,000,000. At two and a half years (last June), the number was
just over 12,000,000. And today -- three months later -- Yahoo!
reports over 50,000,000 link-backs to our licenses.

CC: Aims and Lessons

So what problem was Creative Commons trying to solve? And from what
in the past did we learn?

Creative Commons took its idea — give away free copyright licenses —
from the Free Software Movement. But the problem we aimed to solve
was somewhat different.

When Richard Stallman launched the Free Software Foundation just over
20 years ago, he was responding to something new in the world of
software development. In his experience, software had been free, in
the sense that the source code was freely accessible and could be
freely modified. But by the early 1980s, this norm was changing.
Increasingly, software was proprietary, meaning the source code was
hidden, and users were not free to understand or modify that source
code. Stallman thus launched his movement to build a buttress against
this trend, by developing a free operating system within which the
freedoms he had known could continue.

The story with culture is somewhat different. We didn't  begin with a
world without proprietary culture. Instead, there has always been
proprietary culture — meaning work protected by an exclusive right.
And in my view at least, that's not a bad thing either. Artists need
to eat. Authors, too. A system to secure rewards to the creative
community is essential to inspiring at least some creative work.

But for most of our history, the burdens imposed by copyright on
other creators, and upon the culture generally, were slight. And
there was a great deal of creative work that could happen free of the
regulation of the law. Copyright was important to cultural
development, but marginal. It regulated certain activities
significantly, but left most of us free of copyright's control.

All that began to change with the birth of digital technologies, and
for a reason that no one ever fully thought through.

If copyright regulates copies, then while a tiny portion of the
uses of culture off the net involves making copies, every use of
culture on the net begins by making a copy. In the physical world, if
you read a book, that's an act unregulated by the law of copyright,
because in the physical world, reading a book doesn't make a copy. On
the Internet, the same act triggers the law of copyright, because to
read a book in a digital world is always to make a copy. Thus, as
the world moves online, many of the freedoms (in the sense of life
left unregulated by the law of copyright) disappear. Every use of
copyrighted content at least presumptively triggers a requirement of
permission. The failure to secure permission places a cloud of
uncertainty over the legality of the use. (The critical exception in
the American tradition is fair use, which I'll talk about next week.)

Now many don't care about clouds of uncertainty. Many just do what
they want, and ignore the consequences (and not just on the Net). But
there are some, and especially some important institutions like
schools, universities, governments, and corporations that rightly
hesitate in the face of that uncertainty. Some, like an increasing
number of universities, would require express permission to use
material found on the Internet in classrooms. Some, like an
increasing number of corporations, would expressly ban employees from
using material they find on the web in presentations. Thus just at
the moment that Internet technologies explode the opportunities for
collaborative creativity and the sharing of knowledge, uncertainty
over permissions interferes with that collaboration.

We at Creative Commons thought this was a kind of legal insanity — an
insanity, that is, created by the law. Not because we believe people
ought to be forced to share. But because we believe that many who
make their work available on the Internet are happy to share. Or
happy to share for some purposes, if not for others. Or eager that
their work be spread broadly, regardless of the underlying rules of
copyright. And these people, we thought, could use a simple way

Synopsis


When using a specific option, OpenSSL can be forced to fallback to the
less secure SSL 2.0 protocol.

Background
==

OpenSSL is a toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer, Transport
Layer Security protocols and a general-purpose cryptography library.

Affected packages
=

---
 Package   /  Vulnerable  / Unaffected
---
  1  dev-libs/openssl  0.9.8-r1   = 0.9.8-r1
*= 0.9.7h
 *= 0.9.7g-r1
 *= 0.9.7e-r2

Description
===

Applications setting the SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING option (or the
SSL_OP_ALL option, that implies it) can be forced by a third-party to
fallback to the less secure SSL 2.0 protocol, even if both parties
support the more secure SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0 protocols.

Impact
==

A man-in-the-middle attacker can weaken the encryption used to
communicate between two parties, potentially revealing sensitive
information.

Workaround
==

If possible, disable the use of SSL 2.0 in all OpenSSL-enabled
applications.

Resolution
==

All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-libs/openssl

He is putting you on right track. You need to cat . every time

Kenneth had you on the right track. With a properly
set up Linux system, you can enter text from your
English keyboard that is mapped to Hindi in one of
several different ways. However, the stored text is
automatically in Unicode, so that the file is portable
to other Unicode supporting platforms.
  Don't know which version of Ubuntu you have, but if
you are running a recent version of GNOME, you should
be able to right-click on the panel, choose Add to
Panel, and select the Keyboard Indicator applet.
This will bring up a little white square on your
panel,
probably labelled us. Right-click on it, and choose
Open Keyboard Preferences which brings up a dialog
window. Select the Layouts tab, and you can add up
to four different layouts from the list in the right-
hand pane. After setting the preferences, you can
cycle through the keyboard layouts for the active
window by repeatedly clicking on the Keyboard 
Indicator applet. It also allows you to have separate
layouts for each window. Of course, you will get
meaningful results only if you have a Unicode Hindi
font installed (should be available in Ubuntu), and
if the application that you are typing in supports
Unicode (try gedit).

Gora
