Re: [newbie] CUPS and 9.0 - no remote access
I had same situation you did and here is how I fixed it. When I open up the MCC to share my net connection with the computers on my lan, the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf is rewritten so that no one has access to the printer.. not even the root user! So I rewrite it this way: Location / AuthType None Order Deny,Allow Allow From All /Location Location /admin AuthType None Allow From 127.0.0.1 #Allow From All Deny From All Order Deny,Allow /Location So now only the root user can modify the printer config but everyone can see the config (http://127.0.0.1:631) and access the printer. I didn't figure this out all by myself.. the linuxprinting website help a LOT! ..So I recommand everyone having ANY problem with printing to search there. Here is the forum link: http://www.linuxprinting.org/newsportal/ This is where it came from. http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/viewtopic.php?t=5290highlight= On Thursday 17 October 2002 09:03 am, Brian Parish wrote: Installed 9.0 on my server last night. It has a local printer attached which I configured without problems using printerdrake. I can print to it locally but no other machines on the LAN can now access it. Printerdrake on the client machines assures me that there is nothing to configure and remote CUPS printers on the same LAN will magically appear. They don't. I guess this is the usual problem with GUI's - what to do when they don't work. Has anyone met this? Even better fixed it? The setup on the client machines has not been changed, so I guess it's the server which has stopped talking rather than clients not listening. Tried dropping the firewall in case that was interfering, but no change. TIA Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] 9.0 and DVD Playing
I'm having a little trouble getting my box to play DVDs under 9.0. I know it is still in beta testing (RC1) but I was wondering if anyone has their DVD Player working in 9.0 thus far? My DVD player is a LG (Works under Linux - Wife uses one and it says so on the box) and I've tried Xine, Ogle, and MPlayer with no luck.

If its not there, use the software manager to install it from your Mandrake CD's. See if it runs correctly, including full screen. (note that you have to run startx from a command line - if you use the graphical logon, there is a problem with KDM and it won't let full-screen 3D games 'n such work)...

Re: [newbie] NVidia
Okay, then it didn't go. I downloaded the source and rebuilt it and then installed it and the GLX. Everything went in okay this time. I didn't get the can't find module error. I went to Mandrake User and followed the instructions there on how to install the driver. Under 8.1 I was told I had to run XFdrake after installing, pick a resolution and then restart X. I did that but nothing changed. Then I read on Nvidia's site that I should edit the X86Config-4 file, chaning the driver from nv to nvidia, then add glx to the modules secition. I tried both ways and still did not see the NVidia splash screen. I'm sorta' lost now. The driver installed without error. I've tried both ways of telling X about the new driver, and now have no idea what I should do next. I appreciate the help and so does my wife. Any additional help is apprciated.

Did the lsmod and it did show up at the top of the list, but it says that it's unused. Interesting.
