Cups anyone?
by ptaylor 12 Jan '01

12 Jan '01

Hi All: I have recently installed CUPs (1.1.5) which seems to work quite well on the local machine using Star Office(though I'm not sure it works across SAMBA yet). However, I was trying to print from Netscape last night and it crashed everytime. The dialog comes up with Printing To: lpr, or something similar (not at my trusty Linux machine at present) and when I try it crases out the programme (6.0, 4.74 does nothing). Do I need to put in Printing To: cups? I have not printed a great deal from Netscape as I usually use KDE Explorer but Netscape shows Japanese fonts, KDE doesn't. Anyone have any ideas (apart from getting rid of my Japanese girlfriend as someone kindly sugested last time!!) Cheers, Paul

The first SSH has some licensing issues - I always use openssh which can be obtained from openssh.org (does rpmfind.org have SuSE rpms too ?). You need a few things - but I found that it installed quite easily on my Mandrake system from the RH rpms - I have not installed a version on a SuSE machine. Kevin.

Salisbury is not _so_ far away and it's a lot nicer than Borehamwood ... Thanks very much for the offer - what do other people think?

BETT, Happy New Year, and forthcoming meeting
by Roger Whittaker 11 Jan '01

11 Jan '01

First: just a reminder that we're at BETT on stand E90 (we are stand partners on IBM's stand). Anyone who's visiting BETT, please drop in and see us... Happy New Year to all - as was pointed out the list's gone a bit quiet - I hope that's not a trend. I'd be very happy to see some of the new members and lurkers (I know you're out there, lurking) asking a few questions. No-one should feel intimidated just because there is some farily high-level discussion going on. I'm looking at arranging a meeting sometime in March. The aim will be to create a structure under the auspices of UKUUG for schools interested in Linux and open source more generally. (This is with my UKUUG hat on, but with SuSE's active support). Please indicate if you are interested and give preferences re venue, though I'm afraid practical considerations mean that the south-east is more likely ... If anyone can offer a venue - let me know... -- Roger Whittaker SuSE Linux Ltd The Kinetic Centre Theobald Street Borehamwood Herts WD6 4PJ ---------------------- 020 8387 1482 ---------------------- roger(a)suse-linux.co.uk ----------------------

Re: [suse-linux-uk-schools] StarOffice - Clunks and all
by Edgehill E-Mail Service 07 Jan '01

Hi, all, A happy and prosperous New Year to you all. I tried Star Office on Frankenstein-II (P133 in an original, vintage PC-Clone box). It took over an hour and a half to install. Double-clicking the desktop icon resulted in everything going s-l-o-o-o-o-w for fifteen minutes, the frame for the window appeared, and then took another eight to fill up with the Star-Office desktop. I couldn't get it to do ANYTHING! (no clunky, there ;) Exit from the program took a further twenty minutes. Do you suppose I could do with some more memory for Frankie? <laughs> he's only got 32Meg! - On a serious note, SO 5.2 works fine on anything 300MHz and over, with plenty RAM (64Meg bare minimum) - the only thing delaying my going over to it is the (slightly) idiosyncratic attitude to databases' bits 'n' pieces (queries, forms etc.) But, it's close - real close.

I think there are some security issues, but having never used it, I don't know what they are. Kevin.
