Hi Simon I want to recompile my lfs system with utf-8 support, but I don't want to delete everything and start compiling for 3 days, so maybe I'll try to recompile everything in lfs starting from ncurses and then everything in blfs. There is a hint: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downlo

Hi Andy What nameserver are you using? Have you installed the bind server? What do you have in /etc/resolv.conf? You gave me the answer! /etc/resolv.conf was set up to look for the university nameserver. Changing it to the ip address of the router made things work 8o) Many thanks.

Hello! I'll submit this problem here, but if it ought to be directed to lfs-support then let me know and I'll stop bugging you 8o) Also, apologies in advance for the vagueness of my question: I don't really know where to start with it! In short, my problem is that in some situations I cannot

Printing or postscript problem - Solved

2005-10-25 Thread David Lyne
Hi again I had this with a canon bjc4000. Everyone told me I had the wrong ppd file. I never solved it. I was printing locally, so I had other options. I went away and never came back. Well, in my case it was the 'wrong' ppd file that was the issue. I noticed that on Slackware (where everyth

Hi You can do the same thing in cups with lpadmin -p jerrypc -m laserjet.ppd.gz -v socket://[ip_address]. The only trick is finding the correct ppd for your printer. The conversion problem is pretty much the same for cups or lprng. Cheers for your reply jerry. But I think my issue is with

Hi again. After doing some more reading, I think I'm going to forget cups for now and try lprng instead. It seems you can specify a printer device as socket://[ip_address] from its lpc tool. But it'll have to wait for another day as lprng.com is not working at the moment. Ta again. 8o) --

Hello! I have a problem printing to a network printer (which is a Kyocera Mita FS-3820N) on BLFS-6.1. I am currently using CUPS-1.1.23, but I don't think that this is a CUPS problem. The issue is the following: I try to print a test page from CUPS (or a postscript file using lpr) and instead of

PCMCIA utilities

2005-07-25 Thread David Lyne
Hi. I have built LFS 6.0 on an old Thinkpad (233MHz, 64MB). I have a PCMCIA network adaptor (which runs of a standard 3COM driver) which I would like to get working. However, I cannot find (either in lfs or blfs) any hints on getting pcmcia startup scripts or the cardmgr utilities installed.
