(Idiot outside) - smbprngenpdf printer driver?
by Anders Norrbring 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

Well, I wasn't really awake I guess.. It's just a script that calls GhostScript for pdf generation.. But the question still stands, what IS the best quality printer driver to use for GhostScript -> pdf printing? We need both colours and high resolution.. ------------------------ Hiya! Can anybody recommend what the best Windows XP printer driver is to generate pdf documents with the generator "smbprngenpdf" which is included in SuSE's smb-client package? Could it be the CUPS printer driver, or the Adobe? Or something completely different? Anders Norrbring

K3b Burn Problems in SuSE 8.1 (and problems with CD-RW drive in general)
by Tom Reagan 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

I installed a new CD-RW drive on my desktop running SuSE 8.1 Professional Linux. Right now, I have two drives in the system. A regular old CD-ROM and this CD-RW drive. My CD-ROM (/dev/hdd) can read CDs just fine (audio or data). I tried to install a later version of K3b to no avail. It made me update to KDE 3.1. That's a whole other (very long, painful) story...I am back to KDE3.0.3 (I think/hope). Bottom line is that I'm using k3b 0.7 right now. Prior to the KDE sidetracking, if I did "eject /dev/hdc" my CD-RW would eject. If I did "eject /dev/hdd" my CD-ROM would eject. Further, k3b correctly(?) recognized/recognizes my reader as /dev/hdd and my CD-RW as /dev/sg0. I'm pretty sure that those are in fact the right /dev files because if I do "eject /dev/hdc" or "eject /dev/hdd" the drive I would expect to eject does. Two problems... FIRST, WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE THE KDE3.1 SIDETRACKING: When trying to burn mp3's in k3b, sometimes (ie. rarely) the burn seemed to go okay. By this I mean that all the tracks are written and seem to be the right length. However, the tracks on the CD are nothing but static. Also, the very end of the songs--probably the last half second or so--seems to sound right. (Yes, it was set up as an audio project.) Most of the time though, I was getting the message "not all files have been buffered". I also noticed that the programs tccat, tcdecode, tcextract, tcscan, tcprobe, and transcode all seemed to be missing. SECOND, RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT, I CAN'T EVEN EJECT /dev/hdc (the CD-RW) ANYMORE AT ALL. I get the message: eject: unable to eject, last error: Input/output error I get the same message if I try to "eject /dev/sg0". Admittedly though, I never tried that before the KDE Sidetrack. However, if I go into K3b setup it STILL says the CD-RW is "Generic SCSI" and on /dev/sg0. I have the boot line in grub set for ide-scsi (or scsi-ide can't remember which offhand).

Removing java then installing another java
by marcia 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

Dear All, I am trying to get java setup correctly on my laptop with Suse 8.2. I finally got it working well with my Suse 8.2 on my desktop and proceeded to do the same on my laptop but cannot get it to work so far. I have downloaded and installed Blackdown's 1.4.2_03 and it does not work so want to delete it and go back to 1.4.1 which works on my desktop. When I try to remove the directories or files they will not disappear. Is this a permission problem? I would like to be able to remove directories and files but for some reason cannot do it even as root. Maybe I do not have to remove the other java if I do the path and symlinks correctly? Below is what I get with the respective queries. # find / -name java -print /etc/java /etc/sysconfig/java /opt/netscape/java /usr/lib/java /usr/lib/BlackdownJava2-1.4.1/jre/bin/java /usr/local/j2re1.4.1/bin/java /home/marcialynn/j2re1.4.2_03/bin/java locate javac /home/marcialynn/Desktop/Javahelp/locatejavac /opt/kde3/share/vim/vim61/syntax/javacc.vim /usr/share/vim/vim61/syntax/javacc.vim which java /usr/lib/java/jre/bin/java locate libjava.so /home/marcialynn/j2re1.4.2_03/lib/i386/libjava.so /usr/lib/BlackdownJava2-1.4.1/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so /usr/local/j2re1.4.1/lib/i386/libjava.so MOZILLA About:Plugins- Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2_03-b02 File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2_03 Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

module-init-tools on 9.0 Pro ?
by Sid Boyce 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

I am still using modutils-2.4.25-50 from the distro with 2.6.1 kernels. Is anyone using module-init-tools? I built it some time ago, but didn't install it as I've had funnies previously where it reported on boot it couldn't find insmod for the SuSE 2.4.x kernel, though it was OK for 2.6.0-pre kernels.

Re: [SLE] DHCP problems using cable modem
by Tom Reagan 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

Dylan, Thanks...you were dead on with #3! As soon as I set it to yes...boom...I could ping the gateway. (My gut was the firewall too, but I would have never guessed why, so thanks again.) Two more things I had to fix after that though... 1. I set the hostname to what I call my machine and the domain to "local". I then clicked OFF the "Change hostname via DHCP." I clicked ON the "Update name servers and search list via DHCP." Also, I set the router Gateway to xxx.yyy.xxx.1 (Trying to be complete for the archive.)

configure thinks kdelibs are not installed
by Sven Burmeister 29 Jan '04

Hi, since I updated to 3.2 RC1 using the Suse RPMs it seems that something is missing but I cannot figure out what. I try to configure and the script tells me that I should insttall kdelibs, well they are, including devel. This happens with all source I try to configure. So what am I missing? Thanks!
