[SLE] Setting up Network Printer
by Anonymous User 05 Mar '00

05 Mar '00

networking, always enjoyed it, let it be with modems at first, or now days with NIC's. Printers, hate them, always have! But I have to learn how to deal with printers in the world of Linux... I have the Epson 850n. For those of you that don't know, it is a network printer. The only connection any of my computers have to it is via the NIC built into the printer. I have never setup a printer in Linux, or any UNIX for that matter. The first Linux box, named roses, I would also like to get setup as the print server for all machines, both UNIX and Windows. Samba is already running on roses so she can be a file server. I figure that once I am able to print from roses to the Epson 850n, setting up Samba should be real simple. The two things I don't understand are this: How do I configure roses to know that there is a printer on the network (TCP/IP) in which it can print to? What do I do about print drivers? -- Sam Carleton ------------ http://www.bigfoot.com/~scarleton (Homepage) http://www.uptimes.net/hostinfo.html?hid=1218 (Linux Box) http://www.uptimes.net/hostinfo.html?hid=3167 (web server) -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

[SLE] Adaptec AHA-1505 & Orb Fail on Install
by ds＠primenet.com 05 Mar '00

05 Mar '00

I just purchased SuSE Linux 6.2. I plan to install this on my home PC. I have three IDE HD (Win98 w/FAT32) and a external SCSI Orb (scsi ID #4) running on a Adaptec AHA-1505. Every time I try to install SuSE while including the AHA-150x module, the install stops, locks up or fails. I am REAL suspicious that it is the Orb that is causing this. I have searched the SuSE knowledge base and tried everything I could find in the DB and it still fails. The last attempt includes starting the install from DOS using the Startup.exe program. Then using loadlin with scsi07. I entered "aha152x=0x140,9,7,0,1" as an additional parameter. I got the address, IRQ and parity settings from the Adaptec DOS drivers at startup. I selected "Start Installation" and then the kernel loads and then I get the following error and the system locks up: SCSI disk error: host 0 channel 0 id 4 lun 0 return code = 26030000 scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 unable to read partition table {I clipped about 6 misc lines here} VFS:Mounted root (umsdos filesystem) readonly Freeing unused Kernel memory: 44k freed Warning: unable to open an initial console Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to Kernel How do I send the init option on a system that doesn't have Linux on it yet? At startup? Why doesn't it see the partition table? Anyone tried this as of yet? Do you have it working? Any help at this point would be great.

Yes, you need to add one of the options -l, -ll, -d or -S to the line in inetd.conf, whichever is appropriate for your use. Have a look at `man ftpd' for a description of the options.

[SLE] upgrade problems (6.2 -> 6.3)
by gerrit＠nl.linux.org 04 Mar '00

04 Mar '00

Hello, I bought Suse Linux 6.3 and I am trying to upgrade from 6.2 to 6.3. I want to upgrade the /dev/hda3 partition. I backuped my root partition to /dev/hda8 and changed my lilo.conf so that I could always boot the old Suse. So I tried to start YaST or YaST2, either direct or booting from the CD, but he insists to _install_ Suse and remove the existing partition! How do I tell to upgrade all packages? Do I really need to do rpm -Fvh on everything manually? I searched the archives but I couldn't find any question similar to mine. I'm almost sure this has been asked before and the answer can be found - my search capabilities aren't optimal. regards, Gerrit. -- Plies korekt enie bet ingglisj joe encauntur in mai imil mesusj! -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- http://www.geekcode.com Version: 3.12 GCS dpu s-:-- a14 C++++>$ UL++ P--- L+++ E--- W++ N o?

Hi All, I think that this question has been asked more than once, but I've searched newsgroups and faqs, but can't figure out how to do it: I want to install enlightenment. The only package I am missing is the libjpeg.so.62. Where can I find this, and what is the proper way to install it ? I'm running Suse6.2 Thanks for any help. D.

[SLE] Complete system lock up
by Superseagulls＠netscapeonline.co.uk 04 Mar '00

04 Mar '00

I wonder if anybody can shed some light on this....... I am running 6.1 and have successfully replaced all that I used to have on M$ so can effectively bin it.... however something is beginning to play up......................................... Every now and again, at different times of the day, I start Kwintv (I cannot get sound with xawtv) and my system freezes. When I say freeze, it freezes solid, the Hard Disk comes on, the cursor sticks, no combination of any keys will make the slightest difference - nothing..... Spookily, Seti is still chugging on in the background as is the sound element of the Kwintv. I have to resort to the reset button to release this circle and on the forced check, normally I get :- Deleted inode 940132 has zero dtime..fixed and then back to normal, sometimes I have to repeat this cycle 4-5 times before peace and tranquility is restored. Tonight, it happened again, this time fsck had to be run manually and reported block bit map diffrences, unattached inodes etc (not entirely sure what it all means really) Restored the situation anyway and checked /var/log/messages - ".........Kernel bttv0 PLL 28636363 => 35468950 ok" ".........Kernel hdb: lost interrupt" Anybody got a clue what all this is about ? I don't particularly like having to keep resetting the system !
