[newbie] getting a printer to work with pdq
I've managed to get my Brother HL-720 printer to work. I'm a bit surprised because I thought it was a Windows only printer. But a combination of pdq and a custom ghostscript file frow linuxprinting.org did the trick. The problem is, or was, that this only worked when I logged in as root. On my regular account, printing would time-out because that account didn't have access to the /dev/lp0 port. It works now because I set the permissions to lp0 to rw-rw-rw-. Well, it works, but that doesn't seem to be the right way to do it. Does anyone have any better suggestions? I'm really impressed by the compatibility of Linux, BTW. I'd expected to have to buy at least a new sound card for my el-cheapo clone machine, and I was sure this printer would be a large paperweight as far as Linux was concerned. Driver support is great.

Then you have to either wade through all your email or web archives searching for that final posting that resolves the "how-to" problem. HOW-TOs are great; however, a little rought to digest sometimes and but not always helpful. It seems like by leveraging perl or python and the rpmfind.net mechanism we could build an infrastructure to capture all this know-how and create "guru" utilities that formally gather and try all the diagnostics gleaned from input from the collective consciouness within the Linux community and the HOW-TOs and etc. This would probably be a monumental undertaking, but it seems like that is what Linux is all about. Basically, if we could automate (kind of like the ./configure process) the "did you check this and did you try this" method of trouble shooting with some sort of feed back loop something very innovative could be created.

Re: [newbie] More on 7.2
The graphical interface has become very flashy, especially the beta version of KDE version 2. Those who like diamond pinkie rings and leopard print upholstry will love the latest improvements. They come with some bugs, however, and KDE seems to have lost the theme manager. Will it come back in the non-beta version, I wonder? Even so, the beta seems to be better than 7.1, even with the bugs. FYI CDs of 7.2 beta 3 are available from www.lsl.com for about $3 plus postage. Even with a T1 line it was still a long download, like hours per iso image.

Re: [newbie] Setiathome

Everything about Seti@home comes ready to go right out-a the box. All you have to do is untar it to it's home and call it from the command line.

I'm not trying to be rude here but it's not rocket science. They've made it as simple as possible for very good reason. They REALLY want EVERYONE to be able to use this program to crunch the numbers for them. Well, for a start, it does need some configuration (actually registration information) the first time you run it. Secondly, mine has dumped core twice before (for no apparent reason), and solving that often IS rocket science... I run it myself constantly (Linux version mostly, but also the Windoze version when necessary), and it is generally pretty stable on my AMD K6/2-380. Regards, Ozz.
Re: [newbie] Setiathome
Well, my first install from the Seti@home website was still in the files. That may be why I was getting a core dump. Not sure. Anyway, accessing the file by using the correct path and adding "-nice N " the whole shebang started up again and is currently sitting at "baseline smoothing". I can't wait to see what comes of this. I do not notice any degradation of processor speed. Have an AMD K6 II 400MHZ onboard and it seems to be working well with multiple functions on the system. I have the klseti-0.22 loaded also and it shows a great skymap. I just haven't figured out how to get it to connect to the workunit I am running, so I can monitor the proceedings. Anyone used the klseti program and if so how do you get it to see the work unit in progress? Again, any help is appreciated, Dennis With klseti, click on the + button to add an instance. It will show you a dialog box. Click the browse button, and select the directory that setiathome is running in. Click OK, and give it a name in the box over the path. Click OK again, et voila!

Re: [newbie] More on 7.2
however, and KDE seems to have lost the theme manager. Will it come back in Noticed this too and just decided it was temporarily disabled. It's pretty unlikely that it'll be removed for good as they've supported that functionality so much. FYI CDs of 7.2 beta 3 are available from www.lsl.com for about $3 plus postage. Even with a T1 line it was still a long download, like hours per iso image. I'm glad to hear you say that...sorta. I was beginning to wonder if it was just me that found that most of the download locations for these images deliver at VERY slow rates. I suppose it's because of the amount of traffic into them but it's a bit frustrating to log in to download 600megs and find that delivery speed is half what I get normally from other places.

Re: [newbie] Linux knowledge base
You can search text but that is messy and tends to give messy results. Having a more structured approach tends to return more precise data. At the same time it is useful to have direct links from the structured results to more generic discussions as you catch bits and pieces that haven't ever made it into the manual and can learn a little bit of the debugging process by following other peoples discussions.

Pony and several others make 700MB CD-Rs but be sure you do not pick up an audio only CD-R. NERO trys to make it hard to record from an ISO. There is no info in the manual or on their web site. Here is what you need to do: 1) Find the folder to which you downloaded the ISOs, right click on each and choose rename; mandrake 71-ext.iso change to mandrake 71-ext.nrg mandrake 71-inst.iso change to mandrake 71-inst.nrg 2) Launch NERO 3) Close the New Compilation window so that you have only the main window open. 4) From the toolbar along the top of the window select CD Recorder/ Choose Recorder and be sure your CD-RW is picked as the recording device. 5) From the File menu select Burn image. In the pop-up window navigate to the folder with the .nrg file and click on one and click OK 6) A Foreign Image File box will open. Click OK. 7)A Foreign Image Setting box will open. Change it were necessary to show the following values: Data mode 1; Block Size 2048: and the Swapped option should be checked.Click OK. 8) A Write CD window will open. If you have not done much burning and are not familiar with your CD-RWs abilities check all 4 boxes, test speed, simulate, burn, and finalize. By doing this NERO will auto select the burn speed.Finally in the top right of the window click the Write button and the process of burning the CD will begin. When the 1st CD is finished follow steps 5-8 to create the 2nd. Hope I have not made it seem too complicated.

[newbie] Re: Seti at home
Hi -- I had the "illegal instruction" thing, as well, when using the "i686" version, and the "i386" version runs very well. I guess the "i686" version does, indeed, include one (or more) ops of which my CPU is ignorant. Oh, well. I downloaded the program from the Seti site itself (http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/unux.html). Note that what the "-nice 19" option does is to tell the kernel's scheduler that this program is to stand in line behind all others (of a "lower nice" value) which are marked "ready-to-run". This does not intrinsically reduce CPU consumption by this program, it just makes sure other programs get first shot at the processor. The "xosview" CPU utilization line is nearly all yellow for me now, and CPU utilization always shows 100%. -- --Paddock --- Registered Linux user 190974 ( 2000-Oct-05 ).

Re: [newbie] Linux knowledge base
How 'bout just using the Mandrake sites existing digests...don't they already have tons of info in text format, easy to search by keyword? Just a thought. Keyword searches are generally not sufficient to yield up true answers to questions. All the do is generate a bunch of stuff you can look at and build "knowledge" with by your own means. This, in fact, is the basis of my original response that text parsing is easy; information parsing is more difficult The problem with keywords is that you need to know what you're looking for and very often the nature of the problem MEANS that you don't know the keywords. "How do I get access to my DOS drive?" might be a question about how to "cd /mnt/windows", how to modify fstab so that Linux mounts it, or it may mean the guy wants to reboot to Windows but Lilo won't let him. Since he's asking a basic question its doubtful that he'd know either "cd", "fstab", or "Lilo" to do a search and there's not much in the question to provide an indicator of the problem unless the search engine "knows" a lot of Linux. This is the sort of engine that Michael is talking about and it's a far cry from the standard "find" command. Cheers --- Larry

[newbie] Um... HELP!?
Hello again, I have an interesting situation on my hands... I am redoing my Desktop computer to have Win98 and LinuxMandrake7.0 installed using dual boot. I have purchased the Complete Linux software package that is available( I think that's what it's called) so it has some goodies with it as well as just linux. I have installed Win98 successfully, and was doing good with Linux until I got to LILO :) surprise surprise. I was unable to install Lilo correctly, I was told in install that I was over my cylinders in the boot record. Not onto what i have set up now... I have BootMagic installed, with Win98 configured correctly in it, but BM cannot see my Linux partition. So BM won't allow me to boot to anything but Win98... I would like to use either LILO, GRUB, or BM to dual boot on my system... and i'm lost as to where to go next. Anyone have any suggestions or things that have worked for them?

Without losing any data? If so, how should I go about doing that in DiskDrake..?

I have had a similar situation on my hands. What I ended up doing was having a 50 MB /boot partition and a / partition. I made sure the /boot partition was inside the 1023 Cylinder of the hard drive. (in DiskDrake, just click on the partition and it will display which cylinders it takes up). The / partition can be anywhere on the disk, but the /boot partition must be small (50 MB) and it must be within the first 1023 cylinders in order to boot the kernel.

RE: [newbie] 7.1 Install CD??
It's possible that the media itself is not rated for 8x writes. I've bought cheap cd-rom blanks that claimed 6x speeds for writes, but it's a crapshoot as to when it works. I just lower the write speed to the next lower speed, and it usually works fine. Lots of hardware have a hard time delivering data fast enough for 8x writes, especially if this is occurring under Windoze. All it takes is a single case of a data retrieve occurring without the buffer holding data and you have a bad disk as a result. Like you, I'd advise moving to a slower speed. Cheers --- Larry

Re: [newbie] getting a printer to work with pdq
John: I've got a Brother HL-1040. Like you, I figured it would be useless when I moved to Linux. Happily, that wasn't the case. Following Brother's advice, I told Linux that I had an HP Laserjet III. It works - all that I gotta do is pick print, and the file prints. The one drawback is that the resolution is only 300x300 rather than the native 600x600. That isn't a problem with text, but graphics suffer a bit. (There's also the moral issue of lying to a Penguin...) I don't know if your printer has an emulation mode, and maybe your approach using ghostscript is a better way to go. Oh yes, the permissions on this box are rw-rw, which is the way they were set when I installed Mandrake. I've never (knowingly) fiddled with them. -- Regards, -- cmg John Hendrickx wrote: I've managed to get my Brother HL-720 printer to work. I'm a bit surprised because I thought it was a Windows only printer. But a combination of pdq and a custom ghostscript file frow linuxprinting.org did the trick. The problem is, or was, that this only worked when I logged in as root. On my regular account, printing would time-out because that account didn't have access to the /dev/lp0 port. It works now because I set the permissions to lp0 to rw-rw-rw-. Well, it works, but that doesn't seem to be the right way to do it. Does anyone have any better suggestions? I'm really impressed by the compatibility of Linux, BTW. I'd expected to have to buy at least a new sound card for my el-cheapo clone machine, and I was sure this printer would be a large paperweight as far as Linux was concerned. Driver support is great.

Re: [newbie] Setiathome
Yeah...you're right! :) I kind-a wondered if there wasn't something going on with the command and that'll do it everytime. anytime you want to modify the command line syntax you will have to stop the current process to do it. The easiest way to stop the process is just to hit CTRL-C. That will Cancel the process all together. However, it's been my experience that you very may well have to kill the process through Process Management (kpm). For some reason the Linux binary seems to favor process-runon when trying to shut it down sometimes.

TIA, Dennis -- Dennis M. a registered Linux User #180842 Tried the busy wait change up to 30 seconds, still no dialtone, I added commas to most places that looked like they might be the one, say the "no dialtone" block, no change. the one thing I haven't tried and intend to is add X3 to the init string. I'll try that tomorrow, going to bed now. Thanks for all the help, this thing will get figured out if it is possible. -- Dennis M. a registered Linux User #180842
Re: [newbie] Um... HELP!?
partition magic also includes a boot loader that will load just about any operating system, but the partitioning software i think just works in windows and dos, but dont quote me on that
