do you have hpoj 0.91 installed
and hpijs 1.5 installed
check out the wiki
I know that it's HP but it supports a lot of other printers too
uninstall your old hpoj first

hpoj appears to be for PSC devices.  Perhaps my description of Konica was 
somewhat lacking - this is a photocopier with an addon board that allows 
network printing.  The printing component emulates a Laserjet III - to 
Linux, it looks like an HP3 connected to an lpr print server.  This is not 
your typical PSC device.

I can't find hpijs on my cd's.  hpoj is not installed - neither is it 
installed on a working MDK91 system.  A list of installed rpm's is found at:
MDK91:  http://www.execulink.com/~fbax/MDK92upg/rpmSandy.txt
MDK92:  http://www.execulink.com/~fbax/MDK92upg/rpmChris.txt

Dang! Forgot to mention that...

Ya, do as Ronald suggested (uname -a), and when you do a 

urpmi kernel-source

make sure to choose the version that matches the one you are running.

If you have already installed the wrong kernel source (check by doing 'rpm -q
kernel-source'), just 'urpme kernel-source' first.

[newbie] error with Kget

2004-01-19 Thread Ramin

Hi,
 I am wondering if any body here having problem with downloading files through 
Kget. Very often it gives the following error:
Could not write to /home/raminolta/xfce/bzlkfcwl.csv.part.
It is not clear why it want to write to that specific directory in /xfce in 
/home/raminolta and why it can not do this. I have no problem downloading 
through other browsers.

Well, if you don't actually have a machine called mail.jpearl.org, then you 
need to get a wildcard setup so that all jperal.org machines will go to the 
same IP address.

[newbie] thanks

Just a quick message to all who helped me with my installation problem.
Mandrake 9,2 installed with the help of noapic.
It is working, but no sound and no internet.
Will probably need a little help with this not just yet.
Once again all the people who sorted my installation out MANY THANKS.

[newbie] installazione del modem interno su Toshiba Satellite 1410 con Mandrake 9.2

2004-01-19 Thread fanta

Ciao
Ho scaricato il driver slmdm-2.7.14 per far funzionare con Mandrake 9.2
il modem interno di un Toshiba Satellite 1410.
Sono riuscita ad estrarre tutti i files dell'archivio con il comando:
tar xvfz slmdm-2.7.14.tar.gz
Tra i files non ho trovato nessun file denominato 'install.sh' o files
utili per l'autoconfigurazione.
Se provo a cercare nel pacchetto files eseguibili premendo due volte
TAB, non li trova, anche se c'e' un file denominato 'slver' che se
selezionato graficamente nella directory viene definito eseguibile.
Nel pacchetto c'e' un Makefile, ma al comando make install viene
visualizzato il msg:
make: *** no rule to make target 'install'. Stop.
Stessa cosa succede con le versioni 2.7.8, 2.7.9 e 2.7.10 del driver.
Ho installato Mandrake solo da pochi giorni e sono completamente nuova
ai sistemi linux, quindi non esitate a darmi suggerimenti che possono
apparirvi scontati.
Grazie e ciao.

Pardon me, I've just telnetted to mail.jpearl.org port 25, and captured the 
traffic with a network analyser.

The result: I send you SYN packets to set up the connection, you never reply. 
I think that is what is termed "stealthed". Therefore I believe you have a 
firewall installed somewhere. (Maybe at the ISP.) On a non-functioning 
connection without a firewall I would expect to see a FIN/RST packet 
returned. Of course those packets *might* be getting lost on the return trip.

[newbie] Memory problem when installing from HD

2004-01-19 Thread Moshe Caspi

I am trying to install version 9.2 using the HD (hd.img). I have 64MB of
RAM. When I tell the installer on the where to find the files I get the
message:"you need more memory to perform an installation from a Windows
partition". Looking at the log says:"ramdisk is not possible due to low
mem!". The site says that 64MB is fine. Any ideas? Any way to bypass this?.

If you know how to do it in windows you should have no problem in
Mandrake.  Use the wizard in Mandrake Control Center (MCC) to set it
up.  It's much like setting a windows version up.

[newbie] OT maybe - a ? about GQView

2004-01-19 Thread Linux

So, maybe it's just me..  But I seem to remember that GQView use to be
able to read a bz2 file, such as filename.tif.bz2, generate thumbnails
for them, and display them (back in the MDK 7.2 days).  Yet now it
doesn't do this. Is my memory wrong?  Or has this feature been removed? 
I can see bz2 files in the file list, but GQView showes them as unknown
format.

I assume hda is your HDD?  hdb for your CDrom is a bad 
location.  That's slave to your HDD, not a good mix. IMO, your 
Cdrom should be hdc (master on the 2nd IDE channel), with your 
burner as hdd (slave).

   As to door won't open. Boot somethin else. If you don't have 
another OS, install memtest86 (urpmi memtest86, or d/l the rpm 
and install it by hand'). Boot memtest, will your CDrom tray 
open? If not, it probly is a hardware problem. I recently had to 
replace an old Cdrom for just that reason.

 I always install from my burner (hdd). CD-RW's are better 
readers than any CDrom. But, Mandrake insists on lookin to my 
DVDrom for CD's. NBD, first thing I usually do is remove them as 
sources anyhow. If you want to add your CDrom as source, then 
follow the usuall CL advice given many times on this list (check 
the archive). I don't know it, I always get rid of CDrom sources.

When a program is running i get a faint hiss that goes with the nature

Secondly I have no internet connection have tried to configure the lan

all i get is no ip address and no connection. The connection is fine in

 Google turned this up for 'dsdt linux'
http://www.linux.com/howtos/ACPI-HOWTO/dsdt.shtml

 For most all situation, Mandrake defaults to disabling ACPI. 
Most hardware has problems with it.  The only thing you can do, 
AFAIK, is to try enabling it and see if it works. If if doesn't, 
you'll need somebody smarter than me to help, or give up. 
Generally, Google is your best friend.

On my recently new motherboard (desktop), Mandrake used 
'acpi=ht', which is pretty standard. It disables acpi, but allows 
for HT (hyper threading, which I don't have anyhow). I noticed 
tho in '/var/log/dmesg' that there were some boot warnings, 
'somethin wants IRQ3, but gets IRQ5', and another, 'somethin 
about spurious IRQ7'. 

   Thinkin ACPI had nothin to do with IRQ handling, and havin APIC 
enabled, I just ignored the mesgs for a while. Then I read 
somethin somewhere (Goggle search) that mentioned enabling ACPI 
to clear up those errors. I did and it did, and now going into 
and out of idle power suspend is much more reliable. It also 
cleared up a little occaisional scratchiness in alsa sound ouput 
(which I reckon was the IRQ3/5 deal). Anecdotal, but I suspect 
the Advanced Configuration part of ACPI, allows Advanced 
Programmable Interrupt Control (APIC), to fully do it's job (?).

well your dev hdb is your second cdrom drive so just put the disk in
that one or have you fixed this yet?
Well, the problem is that MDK recognises hdb as my cdrom, which is right. 
For some reason, depite of this recognition I cannot open the drive since I 
had Mandrake installed at the first time as a dual boot with win 2k. After 
reformatting the harddrive and reinstalling MDK from the cd burner, which 
went perfectly easy, I am always promted to put in the installation cds 
into hdb, which is the non-reacting cdrom, whenever I want to install 
software. The lights of the cdrom do work, so I think there cannot be a 
mechanical problem. I simply cannot open it any longer. When I put in the 
installation cds into the burnger MCC does not accept this. Is there a 
possibility to 'deactivate' this stupid cdrom or to change the settings so 
that I can install from the burner ? Thanks for your patience, --Bernhard

Ok this above is wrong.. change the x... or it will not find uyour
drive..   change it to 0,0,0  :)
 

True,but this is only for the writer software aspect and I don't think 
it's relevent to my problem as such.

One thing that has ocured to me overnight. What installation are you 
running. Is your transcode install one of the various rpm installs,such 
as PLF, or are you running the website cvs version ? The reason I ask is 
that if transcode is like mplayer in regard to cvs versions they don't 
automatically come with dcss libraries/decryption to decrypt the mpeg2 
vob files.
I may be lacking something in this direction, don't know, the transcode 
website isn't very enlightening on that subject, merely references that 
transcode is a one package install. That may, or may not enclude 
decryption, I don't know ?
But mine is a cvs install.

Not to mention that some of your packages (the xfce4 ones) are NOT 
signed with any PGP key.
But anyhow, thanks a lot, Charles!

Can you give us the exact printer make and model.  I will check out 
Linuxprinting.org to see if there are specific instructions or issues.
