cd to the directory you want before you start ncftp, or within ncftp use 
the lcd command to change the local directory.  AFAIK you can't ncftp to 
a file, only a directory: once you're logged in you use the get or mget 
commands (the latter is if you want regular expressions e.g. mget *.rpm).

Anne,

I take it you have a double sided printer? After a quick look at scribus it does not 
seem to do the double sided printing, but that could be because it know's my printer 
will not do double sided. You could always put the paper back in the printer and print 
on the other side.

 Hello John.

 I have only briefly tried Scribus, as I am just starting to find out about
 it, having read an article on it in Linux Format magazine. So I haven't
 given it a really good test, yet. However, from what I have found, it
 appears to work OK. I only installed the program and libscribus.

 On the site from where I downloaded it, there was a list of another 16
 libraries which it said Scribus requires and which are not installed on my
 machine. I haven't downloaded these, but will do so (as it says they are
 needed), so that the installation is complete.

 For information, the missing libraries are:

 libICE.so.6,  libSM.so.6,  libX11.so.6,  libXext.so.6,  libC.so.6,
 libdl.so.2,  libqcc s .so.1,  libm.so.6,  libnsl.so.1,  libpnq.so.3,
 libpthread.so.0,  libqt-mt.so.3,  libresolv.so.2,  libstdc++.so.5, 
 libz.so.1

 I can't find any of them on my CDs.

 Cheers

 Keith

These are files not packages. To search for the package they belong to, use

urpmf libICE   and so on.

Leave out the version number since you may have a higher version than 
required.
If they were *required* then they would have been installed along with the 
scribus RPM (if they were not already)

Yes, double sided is part of the printer setup, so that's no problem.  
What *is* the problem is the ability to arrange the pages with 1  24 
on one side and 23  2 on the other, so that when they are folded 
they scan correctly.  Few WP programs can do this well, and DTP 
programs that can tend to be expensive.  I use PagePlus under Win4Lin 
to get round the problem, but it would be nice to have a native linux 
app.

I'm having a problem mounting this Drive as a file system

I can su to root, and use 
'mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hd'
and that works fine, except that only 'root' can access the files and

If I try to mount the file system as any other user, it tells me 'only
root can do that', which is understandable.
Is there a way for root to mount a file system and designate a user as
the owner?
If you need any more info, just ask, and I'll provide it

[newbie] Installing Second Parallel Port

2004-03-02 Thread John Rye


I have need of a second parallel port to use my old parallel Epson
GT5000 scanner.

I've installed a Dolphin 2-port card which Harddrake lists as follows:

Vendor: Timedia Technology Co Ltd
Bus: PCI
Bus identification: 1409:7268:1409:104
Location on the bus: 0:c:0
Description: SUN1888 Simple Comm. Controller
Module: unknown
Media class: COMMUNICATION_PARALLEL

dmesg shows the following segment:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]# dmesg | grep parport
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP,TRISTATE]
parport0: irq 7 detected
parport0: Printer, Canon BJC-210SP
parport1: PC-style at 0xe800 (0xe400) [PCSPP,TRISTATE]
parport2: PC-style at 0xe000 (0xdc00) [PCSPP,TRISTATE]
lp0: using parport0 (polling).
lp1: using parport1 (polling).
lp2: using parport2 (polling).
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]#

According to the documentation which comes with card I have to do the
following steps:

# insmod parport.o
# insmod parport_pc.o  io=0x378,0xe000,0xe800 irq=7,none,none

But this is what is returned: 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]# insmod parport.o
insmod: parport.o: No such file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]# insmod parport_pc.o  io=0x378,0xe000,0xe800
irq=7,none,none insmod: parport_pc.o: No such file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]#

So I try:
# insmod parport
# insmod parport_pc  io=0x378,0xe000,0xe800 irq=7,none,none

And get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]# insmod parport
Using /lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/kernel/drivers/parport/parport.o.gz
insmod: a module named parport already exists
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]# insmod parport_pc  io=0x378,0xe000,0xe800
irq=7,none,none
Using /lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_pc.o.gz
insmod: a module named parport_pc already exists
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]#

Now it's obvious I'm doing something wrong ... but I can't for the life
of me see what it is ...

Can anyone point me in the right/correct direction???

I have only briefly tried Scribus, as I am just starting to find out about it, having read an article on it in Linux Format magazine. So I haven't given it a really good test, yet. However, from what I have found, it appears to work OK. I only installed the program and libscribus.

On the site from where I downloaded it, there was a list of another 16
libraries which it said Scribus requires and which are not installed on my machine. I haven't
downloaded these, but will do so (as it says they are needed), so that the installation is
complete.
For information, the missing libraries are:

libICE.so.6, libSM.so.6, libX11.so.6, libXext.so.6, libC.so.6,
libdl.so.2, libqcc s .so.1, libm.so.6, libnsl.so.1, libpnq.so.3,
libpthread.so.0, libqt-mt.so.3, libresolv.so.2, libstdc++.so.5,
libz.so.1

I can't find any of them on my CDs.

Cheers

Keith

These are files not packages. To search for the package they belong to, use

urpmf libICE and so on.

Leave out the version number since you may have a higher version than
required.
If they were *required* then they would have been installed along with the
scribus RPM (if they were not already)

derek

So that is what they are ,
I have often seen , XYZ.so.1 or something and wondered.
So, what sort of a library is a file like these ?
Any idea ?

[newbie] chmod?

2004-03-02 Thread rhein

Hello,

I tried to make my win driver open to all user (me) but I don't know if 
I succeeded...
Here is what I get when I hit return in the terminal emulator as root:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] win_c]# chmod 777 /mnt/win_c/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] win_c]#

Does it mean that it is done if there is nothing ?

Thanks
Christophe

Typically, under Linux/unix, silence is a good thing. It usually only responds 
if there is something wrong. :-)

You can use Konq to go to /mnt/win_c/, right-click on it, pick properties, 
permissions to see if it did what you want. It should have.

BTW, do you really want to make it that wide open? Why not just for your 
user... Just a thought! :-)

It means that the command is executed.
Do an  ls -l /mnt/win_c  to see if it worked.

Usually you can use the -v switch with programs to get more verbose output. 
Try it and see for yourself.

Re: [newbie] Four Desktops

2004-03-02 Thread Weiers Coetser

Interesting... I am still not sure if I am totally satisfied.

I've been able to set the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen to be linked
to specific desktops, but I am wondering about the icons on the desktop
itself.

Could I place icons or shortcuts on one desktop without them being visible
on others?

Thanks for all the good information.

Re: [newbie] Four Desktops

2004-03-02 Thread Chuck Mattsen

Why not take the icons off the desktop(s) entirely; couldn't you then
access each destop's icons from the taskbar ... or, alternatively,
simply have the icons in folders on the desktop and just open the one
you need for that desktop's apps?

Probably more eloquent ways of doing it, but those occur to me first.
