I've been using USB mouse and keyboard for some time so I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that you couldn't unplug a PS/2 mouse without re-booting to get it going again. My initial steps were: 1. Shut down 2. Unplug old PS/2 wheely mouse 3. Plug in new PS/2 wheely optical mouse 4. Boot up 5. Start swearing because the mouse pointer wasn't moving :) -bill! ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech

In June Sarge became Stable while the current Testing points at Etch. You're basically trying to upgrade to a new major release. I'd suggest changing your /etc/apt/sources.list to from Testing to Sarge, and running apt-get update; apt-get upgrade. At that point, if you wish to stay at the testing level, switch your sources to either Testing or Etch and apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade. Rick Moen's explanation of the Debian release cycle is as good as I've seen: http://zgp.org/pipermail/linux-elitists/2003-December/008297.html -troy This was very helpful. did set my sources.list to sarge and then did apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade No complaints about looped depends. It did make an incredible number of changes. Took about as long as the original full install. But at this point everything seems to still be running. I might go to testing again but I think I'll leave that decision for a while. Richard ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
[vox-tech] lp vs lpadmin groups?
My Kubuntu system parallel port defaulted to ownership and permissions: crw-rw 1 root lp 6, 0 2005-09-11 09:29 /dev/lp0 which seemed reasonable. I was experiencing problems getting CUPS to print to this, though, and Googling obtained the unsatisfactory advice to chmod 0777 /dev/lp0. Looking further, I finally noticed that CUPS runs its filters as lp.lpadmin, and user lp did not come as a member of group lp (!). I figure the best solution is to make user lp a member of group lp, but I am curious now... 1) what are the intended purposes of groups lp and lpadmin? 2) would it be better to chown root.lpadmin /dev/lp0 (well, in my case I would edit /etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions)? 3) if lpadmin is intended to support queue maintenance and lp is intended only for printer daemons, how is printer access supposed to be controlled for users who just want to print? or, if group lp is for anyone who can print, then how to distinguish between users and queue administrators? I have to admit that CUPS seems much more userfriendly than lpr did. -- --- Jeff NewmillerThe . . Go Live... DCN:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Basics: ##.#. ##.#. Live Go... Live: OO#.. Dead: OO#..
