CUPS printing
by Travis Owens 07 May '03

07 May '03

Hello all! Just installed a machine for a friend and everything's great except for printing. Using cups because two of the printers he has aren't supported under LPRNG (or so he said) ... Anyway, the problem is really strange. I only prints the first page if multiple pages are sent. From every program!? If it's got multiple pages and he specifies: 1-1, it works! 2-2, presto!, 4-4, 15-15... etc. But if he just says, print -- and it's got 10 pages, page 1 pops out, but no more! I haven't looked the situation over, because of work, but he's not inexperienced with computers, nor is he ignorant of Linux in general. He is, however, a touch unfamiliar with SuSE, so I'm trying to help him out. However in this case, I'm a little lost as to what the problem would be? Any ideas? Thanks! -- Travis Owens <towens(a)linuxmds.com> Linux MDs

Problem Installing X-CD-Roast
by Rick Friedman 07 May '03

07 May '03

Using apt-get, I just downloaded xcdroast_0.98alpha13-37_i586.rpm. However, when trying to install it, the following error is received: error: failed dependencies: xcdroast = 0.98alpha13-29 is needed by xcdroast-0.98alpha13-37 I tried to install it with the --nodeps flag to no avail. It tries to install but nothing gets installed. I'm running SuSE 8.2. I downloaded the rpm from from an 8.2 repository. Anyone have any ideas what the problem is? Thanks, Rick

Can't play CD in 8.1 since upgrade to CDRW/DVD
by John LeMay 07 May '03

07 May '03

Well, subject says it really. Now that I've replaced my DVD only drive with a CDRW/DVD drive (hdc, and /dev/cdrom is linked to hdc) I can't play music CD's. Although, I'm not sure I ever tried even with the old drive now that I think about it. kscd seems to think the drive is "ejected". Any ideas? I'm certain I don't need to mount a music cd, right? thanks! -- John LeMay KC2KTH Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC | http://www.njmc.com | Phone 732-557-4848 Specializing in Microsoft and Unix based solutions

8.2 install segfault
by Chris Herrnberger 07 May '03

07 May '03

Greetings all; Ive come across a weird one that I cannot solve. Virgin 8.2 install on ECS K7S5A board (256 Megs RAM) continually and repeatedly segfaults durring stage two of the boot process (when the gui pops up) as it cannot find us.keymap.tgz.map I have tried all install options from the menu and then some including manual, burned the cds to another media type etc etc. What is strange is that I have two such machines. This one Im typing on same motherboard and its loaded with absolutely no issues. The other machine, segfaults routinely. Any suggestions or ideas on what to look for or try next?? Last thing to try is to swap out the CDROM but the current one is rather stock one. flustered..:) /ch

Is it SMP safe? Yes. The old 2.0.xx channel bonding patch was not SMP safe. The new driver was designed to be SMP safe from the start. compiled ifenslave.c as per bonding.txt document o install ifenslave.c, do: # gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O -I/usr/src/linux/include ifenslave.c -o ifenslave # cp ifenslave /sbin/ifenslave ifenslave is obviously not the problem yet as we haven't run the command to enslave the devices, but rather hard locks after ifconfig bond0 and only on SMP. Any help or insight with this would be appreciated as I really have to get this to work with SMP. My guess is the bonding.o module on the SMP kernel has a problem, but I don't know where to go from here... Has anyone else had this problem??? On a side note if anyone know how to simplify the use of the ifenslave commands for enslaving the devices on startup that would also be appreciated. Have followed the directions as per the bonding.txt document, but it fails to enslave the network devices. from bonding.txt: ================= /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory that looks like this: DEVICE=bond0 IPADDR=192.168.1.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none USERCTL=no Thanks for any help in advance. If you could reply to my personal address as well as the list that would be great. James

Minor GDK issue after 8.2 upgrade
by John LeMay 07 May '03

07 May '03

Just completed upgrading to 8.2 and all went quite well. However, apps like gaim and xchat now die when I try to start them: jlemay@rogue:~> gaim ** ERROR **: Failed to match any font. This could be due to a broken Xft configuration, or if you run XFree 4.1.0 due to a bug in libXrender. For more information about this, read http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68030 If I 'export GDK_USE_XFT=0' these apps start working again. Is there a "better" solution? I can't find any packages relating to xft or fontconfig, which is where the actual problem is I believe. Is this at all related to pango/freetype2? -- John LeMay KC2KTH Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC | http://www.njmc.com | Phone 732-557-4848 Specializing in Microsoft and Unix based solutions

HELP! Evolution and OOo in SuSE 8.2
by Art Fore 06 May '03

06 May '03

SuSE 8.2 fresh install, when trying to open msword attachment from OOo, all I get is save file. Had this problem on my laptop and I updated OOo to 1.0.3.1 and Evolution to 1.2.4, fixed file associations, then it worked. But, on my Wife's machine, done the same thing, and it still does not work and she is very unhappy. Anyone have any idea why the file associations don't work? I tried in both gnome and kde. Art
