Very nice installation. Main language Swedish and fellow one am-English => UTF8 to my understanding this is the 'root' to many of the pbs as the mapping to and from UTF8 causes link pbs as the command going through is not always correct. I have an ISA card for sound, a SB AWE64, that is fine in an installation with am-English as main language and swedish as second, today no fine sound as soundconfig could not find the 'voice of Linus'. Installation: When asking for which partitions to format, my /mnt/dos partition is set to be formatted. I have an XP installation to play DiabloII on that one. And I have 20 partitions so that one is out of sight if you don't use the slider to see it. I think this is dangerous for Windows testers. After formatting the installer is showing a small window, probably saying "looking for packages to install". This one is ignited and closed down I think 20 times, as I think that the installer is writing to fstab in between and then checking the next partition. Looks very much like a bad chinese small bomb parade. Packages to install: As this is testing I say yes to all chunks of packages on the left + firewall and individual packages. I have to add the following: My video card is a NVIDIA so I have to add kernel-souce and the ncurses5-devel. What are the coming Windows users going to say about modern graphics capacity in default Linux? According to all security discussions to day it is stated that no firewall is secure for ever. So the remedy is to have snort looking for an intruder within the local lan. I add prelude for being sure that none has been looking into the lan. In the Gazette and other writings mc is adviced to newcomers for simple console affairs. I add this one and lynx to be able to read html files within it. The look of mc in console mood is like being at a font carneval = pure shit, but within a console in KDE it is perfect. I personally add Lyx for my own writing. In services I didn't try installation of printer as that has been much shit in the other installation from yesterday. To newcomers I think that netfs should be set to off, I add gpm and set dm to off. After installation: Looking at the installation messages going by in swedish and every character of , o with two dots, a with a circle and a with two dots was given as two characters often the original character but in large sice followed by what I call an 'IBM graphical character'. I have installed my old 100 MHz Zip drive to see what happens. I have no icon what so ever on my KDE desktop of removable media. In fstab it is given as none /mnt/zip supermount dev=/dev/sda4,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=8 50 0 0 I did run printerdrake after installation and it finds my HP 710C OK. But tries to install for HP 712C, which I changed. But no printing of testpage. I have a done a "strace -o trace.it printerdrake" on it and the file in gz is 160K and I dont know what commands are used for sending the file to the printer. Here is from messages of the try tp print: feb 23 13:27:33 localhost printerdrake[3339]: running: /sbin/modprobe -n parport_probe feb 23 13:28:01 localhost printerdrake[3339]: running: rmmod parport_probe feb 23 13:28:48 localhost printerdrake[3339]: running: ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 feb 23 13:28:48 localhost printerdrake[3339]: running: /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups status feb 23 13:29:10 localhost printerdrake[3339]: running: foomatic-configure -q -s cups -n Skrivare -c parallel:/dev/lp0 -p 61472 -d pnm2ppa -N HP DESKJET 710C -L home -o PageSize=A4 -o PageRegion=Lett er -o EconoFast=Off -o ColorMode=Grayscale -o Dither=FloydSteinberg -o Bidirectional=Default -o Bla ckness=2 -o BottomMargin=150 -o LeftMargin=10 -o RightMargin=10 -o TopMargin=10 -o XOffset=160 -o Y Offset=50 -o GammaFile=Default -o pnmFormat=PixMap feb 23 13:29:13 localhost printerdrake[3339]: running: foomatic-printjob -s cups -C up Skrivare feb 23 13:29:13 localhost printerdrake[3339]: running: lpoptions -p Skrivare -o page-top=36 -o page -bottom=36 -o page-left=36 -o page-right=36 -o cpi=12 -o lpi=7 -o wrap feb 23 13:29:13 localhost printerdrake[3339]: running: lpoptions -p Skrivare -o scaling=100 feb 23 13:29:13 localhost printerdrake[3339]: running: foomatic-configure -D -q -s cups -n Skrivare feb 23 13:29:16 localhost printerdrake[3339]: running: /usr/bin/foomatic-printjob -s cups -P Skriva re /usr/share/printer-testpages/testprint.ps Feb 23 13:29:17 localhost pnm2ppa[4042]: pnm2ppa.conf: version 0; Unknown Printer version feb 23 13:29:25 localhost printerdrake[3339]: default cancel_clicked So pnm2ppa.conf cant find the fine printer. regards guran No sound as from above.
