by Vitaly Shishakov 07 May '03

07 May '03

Dear all, Does any1 have any experience setting up a duplex-printing printer (like LaserJet 2200D) in SuSE 8.1/8.2 (CUPS)? Which driver worked best? Did you manage to set it up, so that user can select printing mode (no-duplex, side-bound duplex, top-bound duplex, etc). Thank you.

Assigning partition numbers solidly
by Dan Am 07 May '03

07 May '03

Hi, I have an array in a storage box with md-device consisting of three device sdb,sdc,sdd. I want to make sure these partition numbers don't change when another disk is inserted in the storage or the server. How can I do this with lilo or grub ?

- A most ugly mount effect
by U L Y S S E S 07 May '03

07 May '03

Hi! Maybe it as been describe before. Be patient in this case. I configured fstab to enable any user to mount partitions of the other machines of my network. Very easy and nice job with this brilliant yast2 (great graphic version and yet I was an athusiast of the old ncursy yast!). Let's say I am logged as user "barnaby" on the machine "noah". I mount the partition /home/pip of the machine "doodle". /etc/fstab tells my machine to mount with "rw,noauto,users,exec" It almost works. The /home/pip partition of the machine "doodle" IS mounted. BUT mounted under the name of the user "sikes" who is an other user of y machine "noah". > »»» So I have: barnaby@noah:~> cd /betwixt/home/pip/ barnaby@noah:~>ls -all ... -rw-r--r-- 1 sikes users 10307 jan 1 07:04 www.virtualski -rw-r--r-- 1 sikes users 1498978 avr 25 00:05 wxwxw.tga -rw-r--r-- 1 sikes users 1396 fév 2 02:06 xavier.html -rw-r--r-- 1 sikes users 136655 avr 18 00:15 xe-cobrand.pdf drwxr-xr-x 2 sikes users 504 jan 16 1997 xexit-2.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 sikes users 26498 oct 23 2002 xexit-2.0.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 sikes users 521 déc 24 07:56 xfce_setup.oli -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 710 déc 20 05:18 xlogmaster.root.oli -rw-rw-r-- 1 sikes users 2846 jun 16 2002 xnmap_16-06-20 drwxrwxr-x 17 sikes users 12528 fév 26 08:34 xpm -rw------- 1 sikes users 653 mai 7 01:47 ~mount_problem.oli -rw-r--r-- 1 sikes users 2 mar 10 05:43 É.oli barnaby@noah:~> > »»» where I should have: barnaby@noah:~>ls -all ... -rw-r--r-- 1 barnaby users 10307 jan 1 07:04 www.virtuals -rw-r--r-- 1 barnaby users 1498978 avr 25 00:05 wxwxw.tga -rw-r--r-- 1 barnaby users 1396 fév 2 02:06 xavier.html -rw-r--r-- 1 barnaby users 136655 avr 18 00:15 xe-cobrand.p drwxr-xr-x 2 barnaby users 504 jan 16 1997 xexit-2.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 barnaby users 26498 oct 23 2002 xexit-2.0.tg -rw-r--r-- 1 barnaby users 521 déc 24 07:56 xfce_setup.oli -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 710 déc 20 05:18 xlogmaster.root. -rw-rw-r-- 1 barnaby users 2846 jun 16 2002 xnmap_16-06- drwxrwxr-x 17 barnaby users 12528 fév 26 08:34 xpm -rw------- 1 barnaby users 653 mai 7 01:47 ~mount_problem.ol -rw-r--r-- 1 barnaby users 2 mar 10 05:43 É.oli barnaby@noah:~> > »»» I remouved the user "sikes" and created the user "micawber" and guess what! barnaby@noah:~> cd /betwixt/home/pip/ barnaby@noah:~>ls -all ... -rw-r--r-- 1 micawber users 10307 jan 1 07:04 www.virtual -rw-r--r-- 1 micawber users 1498978 avr 25 00:05 wxwxw.tga -rw-r--r-- 1 micawber users 1396 fév 2 02:06 xavier.html -rw-r--r-- 1 micawber users 136655 avr 18 00:15 xe-cobrand. drwxr-xr-x 2 micawber users 504 jan 16 1997 xexit-2.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 micawber users 26498 oct 23 2002 xexit-2.0.t -rw-r--r-- 1 micawber users 521 déc 24 07:56 xfce_setup.oli -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 710 déc 20 05:18 xlogmaster.root. -rw-rw-r-- 1 micawber users 2846 jun 16 2002 xnmap_16-06 drwxrwxr-x 17 micawber users 12528 fév 26 08:34 xpm -rw------- 1 micawber users 653 mai 7 01:47 ~mount_problem.o -rw-r--r-- 1 micawber users 2 mar 10 05:43 É.oli barnaby@noah:~> Who has some light on this nauseating, revolting, nasty or repulsive behaviour?

KMail in 8.2 import folders from KMail in 8.1
by Peter B Van Campen 07 May '03

07 May '03

Dear List, Forgive me if this has been answered. I have bone a fresh install of 8.2 on an existing PC that had 8.1 installed. The new install is on a new HD and the old HD has been setup as DATA1. Now I'm trying to get the new KMail 1.5.1 on KDE 3.1.1 to import my old folders from the 8.1 KDE 3.0.5 KMail. The new KMail has an 'import tool' but the choices do NOT include importing from a KMail source. What am I missing. I assume that I could move the sub-dir Mail from my old {home} dir but I know how assuming can hurt you. The KMail Handbook and FAQ do not hepl. Thanks! .............. PeterB

This *AGAIN* proves Linux is getting a lot of attention from the big IT companies...

Dialup Line Disconnects When Idle
by Rick Friedman 07 May '03

07 May '03

I just recently upgraded from 8.1 to 8.2. Since then, whenever I am connected to the internet for about 5 minutes or so, I am automatically disconnected (I am on a dialup). I thought it had to do with wvdial.conf. So, I changed the Idle Seconds parameter to 0 to prevent a disconnect. Unfortunately, the disconnect still occurs. I am using KPPP to make the connection. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Rick

HAs anyone had experiences they'd care to share w/ pinacle video capture, or even "dazzle" ??
by jfweber＠bellsouth.net 07 May '03

07 May '03

Yeah, I know it's a wide stretch there, but there are two different projects going on, one would be a "kiddie" semi solution and the other would be a more "grown up solution.. <g> I need to be able to setup video transfer form analog ( old tape) .. editing is easy enough, The kiddie solution will be analog ( hi 8 tapes) until the price for digital stuff drops into kiddie range.. I mean, it's a bit pricey still , to find, perhaps in the fish bowl or terrarium , or the dogs dinner dish, or his bed , for that matter.. Cinelera looks pretty spiffy for serious work ... confusing to start , perhaps but ultimate usefulness should be worth the time... I hope it doesn't die before it's fully useful.. -- j Afterthought : Vice Versa - poems about brothels?

Fixed Mutt, am happy, and wonder
by Jon Clausen 07 May '03

07 May '03

Hey there I never got any response from the list about my Mutt problem, so I had to *think*... ;-P Removed the rpm Went to mutt.org and got the tarball, extracted and read up on the README/INSTALL files. So next I did; ./configure --with-imap --with-sasl which barfed, telling me it couldn't find the sasl lib. So investigating I found out that the sasl lib that comes with 8.2 is sasl2. ./configure --with-imap --with-sasl2 completed, no errors. Installed with 'checkinstall' (first time I've tried *that*) which built and installed the rpm for me. All very nice, and Mutt now works... so I'm happy ;) But I wonder: Why wouldn't the SuSE rpm come with the sasl2 option compiled in? I mean I don't see sasl (1) on the disks anywhere... The other thing I'm curious about is: I was forced to set up Kmail until I had Mutt back. During that time (yesterday) I noticed that Kmail is *significantly* faster in getting the headers from my Imap mailboxes, than Mutt is. I always thought the slowness I was seeing was because the server was slow. Anyone got any ideas a) Why? b) How to fix it? TIA Jon Clausen -- If we can't be free, at least we can be cheap!
