I got it working under SuSE 8.1 by upgrading to the 2.4.20 kernel and adding pwcx. However, I must have to do something further to get the camera to set up properly on subsequent reboots. Any thoughts? Thanks. geno

The place you got the pwcx module, tells us that it needs to be manually installed after any reboot (insmod -f pwcx-i386). I think there's a spot on that website somewhere though, that tells how you can put that command somewhere to have it do it automatically after boot up. Just look around for it I guess. John
Or you can add it to: /etc/sysconfig/kernel INITRD_MODULES="ncr53c8xx jfs pwcx" mk_initrd lilo This will cause it to load on every reboot. Ken On Wed, 2003-02-19 at 11:24, John wrote:

I've got some strange problems with CUPS. First of all, Yast2 printer configuration doesn't work and it hangs at 'Check Environment'. At the comand line of Bash, lpstat and lpq hang too, and I had to stop them with 'cntrl-c'. I tried to kill cupsd and then restart, but nothing changes. I tried to restart my box too. I'm not able to launch any print job. May someone help, please? Thank you, Fabio De Francesco

Firstly can you check the log files in /var/log/cups/ for anything indicating what the error is. What version of cups and SuSE are you running? What happen if you try accessing cups via your browser i.e. http://localhost:631/ You haven't by chance installed both cups & lprng. The other thing you could try if you can't get anywhere is to reinstall the cups rpms and check you haven't got any rpm packages associated with lprng installed. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to Graham, I was able to solve the problem checking /var/log/cups, as you said. It was TCPWrappers the was refusing connection. Fabio De Francesco. On Thursday 20 February 2003 14:06, Graham Smith wrote:

I added two lines to my /etc/init.d/boot.local file: modprobe pwc insmod -f pwcx Eddie
