Text based PDF printing

[Kevin - KD Micro Software]

Hello all,

I'm looking for a command line text based utility that can print PDF files.
I know the cups print system does this, but it would be a lot easier if
there was a command line tool that could do this for me under the standard
lpd.

Any advice or pointers will be greatly appreciated.

I've seen this question asked and answered a lot over the past two weeks,
but do you think I can find the answer back in the previous mails (without
spending hours that is)? I knew I should have noted it down for future
reference dammnit.!

It has something to do with stale RPM lock files.

Some kind soul will post the correct rm commands I'm sure..

You can try du -sh /* if you want to see individual disk usage by
directory.

I thought that du -shx /* would only show the output for one file system
but it does not. I may have to dink with that abit.

Several features of ncftp that I REALLY like are command line history
(up arrow) tab completion and the bookmarks.  Once you get used to these
the lack of them will really piss you off (sftp)

Re: Resizing the file system

Problem solved. I read on the VMWare site that the files sit in the /tmp
directory, but are not visible. This is so nothing can access these files
and cause a problem. There for, I was not able to "See" the space being
used, but the / filesystem was, infact, being eaten up. I changed the
preferences to point the temp file to a larger partition and it is working

Screensaver won't work on RH8.0

[Miguelito Quijano]

Hi,

Can someone kind enough guide me on how to activate
screensaver on RH8.0 installed on my home PC?  Once I
test the screensaver, it works fine but when I applied
the settings at a certain period of time to activate,
the screen will just appear as blank without any
snapshot of what I had chosen.  

Do I need to do some tweaks to make it work?

TIA,
Migs

So even one virtual server eats up something. Just not sure what. I guess
I could call VMWare Tech support. Network Fussion did an article on VMWare
GSX using RH 7.3 and they had 6 virtual servers running with no problems.
I bet they had a larger / partition maybe.

You don't have a /tmp partition. That's most likely what's filling up your 
root.

Complete novice: Monitor won't work with RH8

[Josef Oduwo]

Hello,
I have just done a new install of  RH* for the very 1st time. However, when I try to "redhat-configure-Xfree86" to work with my monitor. I get the following message: 
Couldn't start X Serverddcprobe returned bogus values
ID: OEC15dbName: noneetc etc
And if I try again I get a "DeprecationWarning" and get taken back to the text prompt. Is this a problem with RH8 or my monitor ( I am running Win2K on another partition for a while and it has never given me any problems with the monitor.
What can I do?

you can also add /sbin and /usr/sbin to your path in 
~/.bash_profile so you can find ifconfig, ntpq et.al.

I have seen posts that freak about regular users having these in their
paths but I can't figure out why.  The security is in the devices and
the perms on them and sometimes in the program itself that behave
differently if the UID = 0.  NOT by obfuscating the location.

I may be missing something here but I have yet to hear a valid argument
why this is not a good idea for a user (me) that administers many
systems and hates being root unless I have to be.

Managed Hubs / 3D Acceleration

I have a HP J3204A ethernet hub that says it is 'managed'.  What can I

Also,
How do I enable #d accelration on an ATI Rage Pro 16MB AGP. It worked in

You are deeply confused. /proc is a *virtual* file system; it does not
exist on disk. If you already have /tmp and /var in separate partitions,
then you need to figure out what files are growing ON DISK in your root 
partition.

Maybe you're running vmware as root, and /root/.vmware is filling up with 
stuff. Maybe you have a badly-behaved app using / for its temp files. But 
a properly partitioned system should not be seeing any growth of the / 
partition during normal operation.

Re: Resizing the file system

[Joe Giles]

Well, as you can see from my first post, /var is already on its own
partion. The reason Im wanting to do this is because Im running VMWare GSX
server on this server and when I run more than one VMWare session, the
/proc/kcore file grows and grows and grows. It eventually eats up /. I was
going to link that to another partion, but I figured that I would not be
able to with out crashing the server. S, i wanted to resize the /
partion. Well, If need be, I can always rebuld the server. Lord knows I
need to anyway :)

Thanks for the reply...

Download with fetchmail and filter with procmail. You can have fetchmail
deliver directly to procmail. My ~/.fetchmailrc looks something  like
this:

defaults protocol pop3 fetchall nokeep mda "procmail -d $LOGNAME"
poll pop.myisp.com   username myname   password mypass

A procmail filter to feed the subject lines to a script might look like
this:

:0hc
* ^Subject:
| formail -c -x Subject: | /usr/local/bin/myscript


The first line denotes the start of the filter. The 'h' tells procmail to
deliver the header to the file or pipe. The 'c' tells procmail to operate
on a copy of the message. The original will still be delivered according
to subsequent filters.

The second line is a regexp for the subject line. This will match every
message that has a subject header.

The last line pipes the message header through formail, where the subject
will be extracted and piped into your script.

problems compiling a kernel: from a newbie

[Darren R. Gitelman]

Dear list:

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but don't know what it is or how to 
solve it. I've gotten to the make dep part of making a kernel kernel and 
several dependencies seem unfulfilled.

In particular it cannot find stddef.h (which seems to be sitting in 
/usr/include/linux)
and a file called stdarg.h which seems to be buried away in 
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/include)
and it complains that it cannot find the file limits.h which is included in 
limits.h

This all started when I upgraded to redhat 8.0 (or tried to). The installer 
said we recommend you change to an ext3 filesystem, but it seemed to forget 
to include ext3 support in the kernel with the install. So.. none of the 
filesystems want to mount.

I have booted using Tomsrtbt, mounted the filesystems appropriately, 
chroot, and I'm trying to build kernel 2.4.20 to get around this problem.

thanks,
Darren

Without a doubt, the best combination is fetchmail and procmail.  Both
are probably already installed.  fetchmail pulls the mail from your pop
and/or imap servers, and then delivers it locally where procmail
processes it.  procmail can do anything you want to it, including
calling external routines.  There are a ton of procmail recipes out
there for you to start with.

RE: Text Based POP3

[Fontenot, Paul]

Mutt will do that, as long as you have it open. It will retrieve your
mail.

If you want something to retrieve it for you while you are , lets say at
work, then get fetchmail. Use fetchmail and procmail and you should be
fine. Fetchmail will get the mail and procmail will do anything you want
with it. Then you use any email reader out there to read your mail.

ncftp will give on-the-fly speed info.

As for the fastest mirror, it will almost without a doubt be
redhat.newaol.com.  That sucker just flies.  AOL knows how to provide

You can start by doing a ping to each one, but the only real way to know
is to start a transfer from each, one at a time, to see which is fastest
for you at that particular moment.

BTW, when following up earlier messages, please trim the irrelevant
content.  We really don't need to see multiple list signature blocks...

Maybe. I don't know if parted will let you do this, but you need to shrink 
hda6 from the front, not the back. Growth needs to be into contiguous free 
space, so you'd have to free up the gig from the start of /home, rather 
than the end if you're planning to give that space over to / on hda7.

A better use of your time might be to figure out where all that space in / 
is going. My guess is it's being gobbled by /var. Why not shrink /home, 
and create a dedicated /var partition instead of dangerous mucking around 
with your root partition? 

If you hose data in /home, you'll live. If you trash your root, get out
your install disks.

I didn't, no. Sounds like a permissions thing though.

Have you tried running it as root (I know, bad, but will give you an idea
whether it's a permissions thing).

Resizing the file system

[Joe Giles]

List,

I was wondering what utility I could use to shrink a partition and use the
free space to grow another partition? Here is what I have:

File systemSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda7 486M  349M  112M  76% /
/dev/hda1  99M  9.6M   84M  11% /boot
/dev/hda6 4.8G  357M  4.2G   8% /home
none  251M 0  250M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/ida/c0d0p142G   16G   24G  38% /storage
/dev/hda2 5.8G  3.6G  1.9G  66% /usr
/dev/hda3 1.9G  732M  1.1G  40% /var

What I want to do is shrink /home (/dev/hda6) say one gig and use that 1
gig to grow / (/dev/hda7) partition.

Is this possible without rebuilding the server?

Thanks in advance

Not enough information to help you. You don't tell us anything here.

What is the driver? RPM? tarball?

There MUST be some documentation on the Alacatel Website somewhere. Ask
them.

Or give us more information. We're not mind-readers.

I think I've seen you ask this before and you got no response as I remember
then. I would feel this is because you're being way too vague. Make sure
when you post to this list you do not simply ask us 'I did this now how do I
do that?'. Make sure you tell us EXACTLY. For starters...what is the file
called? Does it end with .rpm or .tar.gz?

If the latter, you need to go to the Linux Documentation Project and read
the Administrator Guide, as it tells you how to handle tarballs.

Call the vendor, explain the situation. Tell them the sale depends on the 
customer being able to test the application. If they want to sell the 
product, they'll tell you what needs to be done. 

Asking the list "How do I beat the system?" isn't likely to generate many

Re: ftp'ing directories - speed issue

[Michael Mansour]

I'm not 100% sure of the answer, but what I've used in
the past is software like DAP, Getright, 3D-ftp and
Cuteftp. They have features which tell you the speed
of your connection to the ftp server.

Haven't played too much with linux gftp or similar to
compare.

Or just:

case $var in

This works fine if you know the range of the numbers and they're small
(eg <1000), otherwise you end up doing this:

case $var in
[0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9]|. )

which gets pretty messy. The other thing you can do is invert the test:

case $var in
''|*[^0-9]*)not a number ... ;;
*)  must be a number ... ;;
esac

In any case, usings case is MUCH faster and more efficient than the
grep-based methods, since it's built into the shell and needs no
subprocesses. And to my mind it's easier to read, too.

Re: Format 2nd hard drive

[Michael Mansour]

Depending on what type of drive it is (ide or scsi)
you'd be looking at firstly partitioning or
repartioning the drive with:

fdisk /dev/hdb

for the second IDE drive or:

fdisk /dev/sdb

for the second SCSI drive.

Once you've paritioned it with FDISK, use:

mke2fs -m 1 -j /dev/hdb

or similar to format it into ext3 with 1% reserve
space. ie. the "-j" turns on journalling, meaning it's
now ext3, and the "-m 1" says to leave 1% of disk
space in reserve - it defaults to 5% reserve if not
specified on the command line - 5% of gigabytes of
disk space is just way too much "unusable" space for
me.

>From there, update your /etc/fstab file to mount the
partition as an ext3 file system on boot.

Note: you could "label" the partition and include the
"label" in the fstab (with e2label) but that's not
necessary anyway.

Re: Red Hat PHP + Interbase?

[Jeff Stern]

hi all,

would it be possible for interbase support to be included in the php rpm 
dist'd with rh8.1?

this topic was apparently discussed earlier on this list:

https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/redhat-list/2002-September/150438.html

wrt rh7.3, but ibase support didn't get added in to rh8.0.

just wondering, since the php rpm is not a simple (re)compile, and might 
save a number of us considerable time.

thanks!

Have RH 7.3 and a DYNALINK ALE070 ADSL USB modem...

Have a client with the above stated unit - has anyone either gotten this
device to work under RH 7.3 (or better) or know of any particular
drivers that may work with this unit or know how to get it working as it stands?
Have been trying to convert this customer's workstation, and this is where it stops.

Is their a way to measure the download speed of FTP server? Like the other
day i wanted to download RH 8.1 beta 2 and had to try with several RH
mirrors before i found a server which was reasonably fast.

So my question ...is thier a way to determine the download speed of all the
FTP servers ..so that i can download from the fastest server?

ncftp is still there on your CDs and should therefore also be available
via up2date.  Probably takes you 2 minutes to install it if you have a
decent network pipe.

RH-8.0 comes with sendmail 8.12.5. The redhat supplied
sendmail.mc/sendmail.cf file already have basic virtual domain features
added so you only need to add your virtual domains to the appropriate
/etc/mail/* text files (using vi) to make changes.

Since you have not explained your virtual domain requirements in your post
(especially if you need re-mapping of outbound addresses), consider loading
the sendmail-cf RPM package and then reading the file
/usr/share/sendmail-cf/README. Searching for the keyword virtual
(virtusertable) will get you started in the right direction on what files
need to be edited to configure sendmail for virtual domains. Just don't
forget to type "make" in /etc/mail after you add an entry to a sendmail
database file.

That's integral to the linux kernel. So I guess the kernel RPMs.

Easy config for Sendmail and Redhat 8

[Michael Mansour]

Hi,

I'm planning on upgrading my old Sendmail server
running on Redhat 6.2, to Sendmail running RH8.0

Under 6.2, I used linuxconf to configure all my
virtual domains and all sendmail options for me,
making the task very easy to maintain and without me
having to learn the cryptic sendmail commands.

Of course, with updates to (RH) Linux, linuxconf
doesn't seem to be around anymore.

Does anyone know of an easy tool to configure sendmail
under RH8.0, supporting virtual domains etc?

Thanks.

Michael.

hdd and everything's powered off. The sleep-led is activated. => That's
right. But: the system does not wake up. => Shit!
- typing # apm -S (for standby) switches off screen and hdd, but no fan

I was wondering about the dhcpcd portion. In 7.3 a network restart
rebuilds the ntp.conf file and the driftfile setting is overwritten to
/etc/ntp.drift instead of /etc/ntp/drift.  The ntp user does not have
perms to create a file in /etc.  I guess this is different behavior than
on 7.3.

I see it now and am going to try and override the incorrect setting
created by dhcpd usng -f in the syconfig/ntpd file

The docs didn't mention a -H or -h was needed.  I'm running ldapadd on the

error message.

This is a RedHat 8.0 system.  I noticed it was running privoxy which is a
web proxy with filtering for web page content.  I shut it down however same
results.  Weird.

Not sure about -H but I use -h and this doesn't give me any errors.
However, you are right if you are local omitting the -h works fine.

At this point I would be surprised about anything.  But read my earlier
email on this tread and try out the basic ldapadd I suggested.

RE: Monitor Shakes....

[Doug Johnson]

5-7 turns... 

take a ferrite core ( they come in all shapes and sizes,
the ones that look like a doughnut are the ones I use) and
wrap the power cable tightly around the core 5-7 times (do not
overlap the cable. Each turn must be against the ferrite). This
makes an inductive coil with a section of the power cable. The ferrite
in the center of the coil will remove most unwanted 
interference from the line. 

These ferrite cores are relatively cheap and can be found
at most electronics shops (Radio Shack etc.)

A good link (but deals more with TV Interference) can be quite 
helpful with a number if interference problems.

http://www.arrl.org/fcc/tvibook.html

The link will cover a lot of topics so get a good cup of coffee.

Its somewhat comforting to see I am not alone.

Nothing concrete to add other than I have tried pretty much all the suggestions given 
(including having the electric company come out).  I have not tried the choke on the 
AC cord though.  I have narrowed the problem down to one room in the house (yes, its 
the computer room).  I may try the choke but will probably end up shuffling furniture 
around.  *sigh*  Its funny because in all my years of working with computers, this is 
the first time I have experienced this.

This has been an informative thread.

RE: APM -> ACPI support on Laptops

[Lon Lentz]

  Everything I have ever read on power management states that the kernel
will unload the ACPI stuff if it then loads APM. The other thing to get ACPI
running is to turn APIC off as it conflicts.

  The problem with the kernel patches is you need to find an ACPI patch for
the specific Redhat kernel you have because Redhat patches the kernel with a
lot of their own stuff. And the patch will either not install properly or
cause other problems.

  One choice is to pull the plain kernel from kernel.org and then the ACPI
patch from sourceforge. The only problem with this is that you will lose all
of the Redhat specific patches. I don't know any details on what these are.

  I run Redhat on all of my servers but I run Mandrake on my laptop (I know,
Heresy!!). There is a Mandrake kernel in their cooker section for their
current distro that has the latest ACPI patches installed. It handles my
Compaq Presario's power management quite well (including internal fans and
cpu throttling). It also talks well with aKpi.

RE: APM -> ACPI support on Laptops

[Arthur Mueller]

Yea, the notebook should support ACPI as it is only one week old. In a
very detailed article on ACPI with Linux some geeks write that
1. you still need APM. Why, dont' ask me. But I try removing it from the
kernel.
2. currently only SuSE 8.1 distributes a patched kernel with full ACPI
support. All the other kernels, inlcuding RedHat and kernel.org, won't
work without an acpi-patch from sourceforge.

I'm on the way to test it but failed in proceeding as I don't know how
to patch a kernel. *sorry* Can you give me some advice here? I've a
*.diff file. What do to with it?

Regards,
Arthur

  The kernel will not run both APM and ACPI simultaneously. Find out which
your notebook supports and deselect the other. If your notebook supports
ACPI, it is better than APM. (although I've heard here that ACPI may not be
fully supported in Redhat's current distro).

[Ziomek, John]

Hi All..

I am having some issues running 8.0 on a compaq deskpro with an Adaptec
2940uw. 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3 run fine. I couldn't even boot the machine
initially getting a 'fatal bios' error. I updated the firmware on the card
to most recent (2.20) and the machine finally boots. But when I go to write
to the disk the system hangs. (Writing via Fdisk or druid).   Is there
anything new in 8.0 that could cause this? Or is it a bug?

Thanks,

Re: trial version

Hmmm,
I didn't see one reply to your thread, perhaps nobody knew.  Perhaps
nobody wants to give advise to one who is breaking the rules?  (Did you read
the EULA? (see other threads)).  Why don't you just remove the files and
other data on your machine that makes that app think its expired?  Or switch
the date (works for MS/Adobe software sometimes).  Or install on another
computer?  Or just slap the image of your system before the fmserver install
back on the system (you did make the system image right?)

RE: Monitor Shakes....

[Doug Johnson]

It has been fun to watch this thread. Assuming this 
is not a plasma or lcd display and since you have 
found out that lowering the refresh rate to 60
solves the problem, we can assume that this is a 
power issue. (Unless you live in Europe then we 
have another problem ;) ) A CRT screen is extremely
sensitive to a magnetic field. That is why you 
will always find a degauss button or function on the
monitor. This button applies a charge to a ring around
the picture tube degaussing the tube, giving it a 
much cleaner image (and one that doesn't shake as
bad). 

These screens are very sensitive to magnetic 
fields (magnets or magnetic fields created by 
electricity or electrical energy). The circuitry
is also very sensitive to RF energy (that created 
by transmitters as small as cellphones, microwaves, PLC's,
the list goes on). But RF energy is not constant like
electrical interference. When the microwave quits running
then the problem will go away etc. That is why I think
that yours may be more related to electricity or a 
magnet pull (AC in high voltage lines over the house
can create a magnetic looking problem as well.) If you 
have a high voltage line over the house you may want to 
consider harnessing that energy by (h, nevermind 
that thought is illegal anyway)  

The first comment you mentioned is probably the
best one you have. Put a choke (ferrite core) around the
signal cable on the monitor. It may already have one
or two (big fat round things close to the end(s) of the 
cables). If those are there, then you may consider 
putting one of those on the ac cable as well. (5-7 tightly
wrapped turns around a medium size ferrite core will get rid of
any signals on the power line you have coming through).
Many power supply circuits are not designed well enough
to remove strong signal problems on the ac line so that 
may be an option. In the meantime you may want to keep an
eye out for something electrical close by.

As for the UPS, try running on the UPS and kicking the main
breaker off in the house and see if it goes away. These are 
really fun to find.  

Good Luck..
Doug

Subject: Monitor Shakes


-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

Okay, this has *nothing* to do with RedHat per se except as a pure
coincidence that I happen to be running RH 8.0 on the machine.

After moving into a new home, my monitor has developed this odd
"quiver."  There are these slow undulations in the screen that are
there even if everything else in the room (everything except the
computer and the monitor, that is) is turned off.  They even continue
to appear when I pull the UPS out of the wall so everything is running
of batteries instead of wall power.

The monitor refresh is at 65Hz.  I can use xvidtune to modify the
frequence down to 60Hz at which point the undulations disappear.
Looks like a beat problem with the line frequency.  My wife's iMac has
the same problem except I can't change her refresh rate to eliminate
the quiver.

Anyone have any clues how I can eliminate this apart from the refresh
rate?  I've had one person suggest putting a choke on the signal
cable, and I'm going to try that.  Any other ideas are welcome.

TIA,

roland

I agree, it makes sense.  That's why I was ready to wrap the thing in

FWIW, this is how I set fetchmail up when I had it running for

Crypto API

[Paul Sorensen]

Hi all, 

I was wondering if anyone has managed to get the CryptoAPI stuff, and in
particular the AES loopback encryption working on RedHat 8.0? 

As I am using a laptop, I want to be able to create an encrypted
filesystem stored in a file to contain confidential information.

I tried recently, but ran into problems...

- I patched the kernel source with the cryptoAPI patches from kernel.org
- Using make xconfig, I selected all the encryption algorithms.
- The patched source successfully compiled and ran.
- I inserted the cryptoapi and cipher-aes modules
- but the losetup command still reported that AES was not supported.

Thanks in advance 
Paul S

I did not see that you tried the degauss button on your monitor.  Try
that.  Or for a few bucks, you can have a TV repairman degauss it with a
degaussing coil.  For both your monitors, should be under 40 bucks.  

I had this happen on a monitor that didnt have a degauss circuit. 
Luckily I knew someone with a coil and borrowed his.

and etc and just grouped the u1, u2, u3
into g1 and etc. Hope you get the idea.  What makes unix fun is the learning
process. :)
