[SLE] Printing Problem #2 (blank trailing page)
by agtiger＠coolnet.net 02 Apr '00

02 Apr '00

Well, now that I have my LJ5L Xtra printer up and running, I notice that any print job I send to the printer always results in the job, plus an extra blank page. I've tried setting the printer for ljet4 with an A4 paper size, with a letter paper size, but there's no difference. I still get a blank page at the end of the job. I'd like to avoid wasting the extra page every time I print something. Anyone else ever run into this?

[SLE] libext2fs where?
by neonatus＠gimp.thz.net 02 Apr '00

Hi! I was trying to compile a GUI for floppy formating in X called gformat, and during configure I got an error saying that I need libext2fs and that it wouldn't compile without it. I was wondering if anyone knows where to get this lib or if anyone knows of a GUI for formating floppies which wouldn rewiure me to install a whole new window manager for it to compile. PS. I am doing this, couse fdformat doesn't do it's job right :( THX in advance!

[SLE] Permissions on the /tmp directory?
by creimer＠rahul.net 02 Apr '00

02 Apr '00

Greetings! I just recently picked up a Seagate Cheetah 4GB SCSI hard drive for $75 from a co-worker. I created a /scsi1 mount point for the hard drive and a /scsi1/tmp directory, moved the current contents of the /tmp directory to /scsi1/tmp, and created a symbolic link on the root partition for /tmp to point to /scsi1/tmp. I was curious to notice that the old /tmp directory had the following permissions: drwxrwxrwt. (I presume that the "t" is the sticky bit.) Do I need this particular permission on the symbolic link? How do I set it? Thanks!

Ok, quick thoughts then *long pause* I general, this list temperature feels cool to me, but it has crept up a wee bit this last couple of days. Some sort of explicit guide lines would help orientate a newbie, to which a 'howto' might seem like Ancient Greek or something. Also, if in the heat of passion, one of us sends in a post, that contains information that is askew, then correcting this needs to occur, but nix the flame/heat thing (IMHO). Although, I find the some of the 'German etiquette' does not fit my personal style. *BFN* Greek Geek Have the courage to take your own thoughts seriously, for they will shape you. -- Albert Einstein P.S, whoopz, only sent it to Phillip..... -- 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/

Re: [SLE] Printing to a HP Laserjet 5L XTRA - SOLVED!
by agtiger＠coolnet.net 02 Apr '00

Well, I solved the printing problem, it was something related to the parallel port, but it wasn't where I expected it to be. I now have a Lasterjet 5L Xtra working under Linux and I can print to it from my windows box through the network! :-) Samy Elashmawy <samelash(a)ix.netcom.com> wrote: >Running Suse 6.3 6 cd distro , usa version.

Did that. :-) >Sorry I cant remember what I selected , but you have the printcap >file it created. I do, thanks. <ghostscript information snipped> Ok, here's the solution: apsfilter installing the ljet4 is the proper way to go. What I was missing was a kernel setting: Character Devices ---> <M> Parallel printer support [*] Support IEEE1284 status readback Once I compiled the 2.2.14 kernel and the new module set including the above, my printer spat out what was waiting in the print queue. :-) Thanks for your help Samy, and thanks to everyone else for offering suggestions.

[SLE] Standards between Linux Distributions
by dwj＠aaronsrod.com 02 Apr '00

02 Apr '00

Concern has been expressed in several recent threads on this list about the dangers of incompatibilities between the various Linux distributions. There is a long-standing project called the Linux Standard Base (LSB) project that addresses this risk. It is supported by almost all of the major players in the Linux arena, including SuSE, Red Hat and Corel. This project first came into prominence at the March 1999 LinuxWorld Conference and Expo. Since that date it has been very active. A visit to: http://www.linuxbase.org/ hows the following mission statement: "The goal of the Linux Standard Base (LSB) is to develop and promote a set of standards that will increase compatibility among Linux distributions and enable software applications to run on any compliant Linux system. In addition, the LSB will help coordinate efforts to recruit software vendors to port and write products for Linux." Those wishing to become involved in this important effort may find more information on the Web site. Those wishing to inform themselves may search for 'lsb' on LinuxToday.com and find dozens of press stories on the LSB over the past year and a half.

[SLE] adding to the default man path
by Anonymous User 02 Apr '00

02 Apr '00

I would like to add a new path to the default man path. My understanding is that there is a file that sets the default man path BEFORE the /etc/<shell script> is called.

Hi there, I just recompiled a new and I didn't do anything out of the ordinary.However, during boot I get a whole list of unresolved symbols. What's the deal with that and how can I solve this? By the way, is there a good Linux book out there that deals with these kind of problems? Thanks. -- Yatsen Ng yatsenng(a)casema.net Den Haag, The Netherlands It said "Needs Windows 95 or better".
