SUSE 9.1 Pro can't print from Acroread
by Stan Glasoe 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

I have lost the ability to print from acroread (5.08-202 installed and have tried 5.09-4.2). I have uninstalled acroread, rebooted, reinstalled, etc. Still no go. My problem is that the files I need to print, print best from acroread. All the other pdf printer programs don't do it as well; wrong color, jagged edges, mis-aligned, etc. I have SUSE 9.1 Pro, KDE 3.3.1, cups 1.1.20-103 currently installed and have tried cups 1.1.20-108.8. Have tried normal updates of programs, rebooted in between, deleted all printers, installed one at a time with no reboots and reboots in between. I tried uninstalling cups entirely but that would require uninstalling 200+ programs that depend on it. I've tried many different files/pdfs. They all will print from kpdf, kword, xpdf, etc. I have a Lexmark Optra S 1855 laser TCP/IP and an HP Deskjet 5650 USB connected to the system. Both have worked and do work for most printing that I do. In acroread I have tried the standard /usr/bin/lpr setting and kprinter. Neither works. I see the Acrobat file to be printed arrive in /tmp and disappear when it thinks its printed. In kprinter I can't find anything wrong. Have gone over most everything three times. Any ideas? Stan

Phantom cd ejection with SuSE 9.1
by Peter N. Spotts 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

Folks, I've installed SuSE 9.1 Pro on an old HP Pavilion 6545C, which I'm using for backup storage and for ripping music. Everything is hunky dory except the CD drive, which decides to "eject" on its own at random times, leaving the drive with its "tongue" hanging out. This occurs when the drive is empty as well as when it is running a CD. If I'm ripping a CD, the drive will eject in mid-rip. I can push the CD holder back in, and ripping will continue for another minute or so. Then the drive ejects itself again. Likewise, when I'm using the computer but not the drive at all, it will open on its own, I can close it, and it will open a few moments later. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Or am I stuck with a perpetually panting desktop computer? Maybe, like dogs, the thing just wants to "sweat" through its "tongue." Next thing I know, it will want me to take it for a walk in the morning. Best, Pete -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peter N.

Suse 9.1 doesn't print colors on Lexmark ColorJet 7000
by Terje J. Hanssen 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

I have a local attached parallell port printer, Lexmark ColorJet 7000. It can use (costly) black and color or black and photo cartridges. Though this is a legacy GDI Winprinter, it was an advanced and is still a relative capabel CJ-printer for high resolution 1200x1200 photo. I have tried the Suse 9.1 included Lexmark 7000 Foomatic/Lex7000 ppd driver and also tried to download (another?) driver from http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=lex7000 I can select resolutions from 300x300 up to 1200x1200 (normal 600x600), but the testprints only contain grayscale and no colors. Can someone confirm if colors doesn't work or not on this printer? Thanks, Terje J. Hanssen

by Steven Pasternak 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

I am thinking about getting a Creative MuVo Micro N200 and am wondering if it works under suse 9.1. If so, is it a kernel thing, because I use kernel 2.6.9 vanilla. Thanks!

RE: [SLE] Suse 9.1 Pro on Server Class Machine
by Ricci Graham 23 Nov '04

Paul, Thank you so much for this information. I disabled the onboard NIC via the Compaq SmartStart CD and then I reinstalled the system. It did stop it from freezing up, but now I can't get my network card to work. I have it configured and when I do a "ifstatus eth0" it returns eth0 device: Compaq Center Corporation Compaq Integrated Netelligent 10/100 TX PCI TLAN 2.3 (rev10) eth0 is down I have tried rebooting the machine and that didn't help either. Any ideas on how to get the machine to activate eth0? Thanks, Ricci -----Original Message----- From: Paul Ketelaar [mailto:paulk@ketelaar.com.au] Sent: Monday, November 22, 2004 9:37 PM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: RE: [SLE] Suse 9.1 Pro on Server Class Machine Ricci, Ken and SLE People, Ia have had this problwm just recently with 2 1850Rs. You need to get a smart Compaq SmartStart CD Ver 4.2 or later. Use this to disable the onboard NIC. Once this is done try installing SuSE, the freezing should stop. SuSE will still find the NIC and you can set it up as normal. I did not have to worry about passing anything to the kernel during booting. This problem I believe is due to ACPI and IRQs. This seemed to work well. Some say another fix is to use another NIC but I could not get a number of diff types to be detected. Anyway try this and see how you go. Regards Paul K P.S.

My Viking Keyboard Went Berserk on 9.2!
by Steven T. Hatton 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

For some reason the compose feature isn't working for me in 9.2. This is the ~/.kde/share/config/kxkbrc Layout=en_US Model=pc104 Options=compose:rwin,altwin:meta_alt ResetOldOptions=false ShowFlag=true ShowSingle=true StickySwitching=false StickySwitchingDepth=1 SwitchMode=Global Use=true Variants=en_US(nodeadkeys) This is the result: setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc/pc(pc104)+pc/en_US+altwin(meta_alt)+compose(rwin)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; }; Notice that the nodeadkeys is missing. Has anyone else had problems with this? It looks like there's a new approach to configuration, and it might have a bug or two yet. I'm running 'stock' KDE with the latest updates. BTW. I HATE DEADKEYS!... I feel much better now. ;-) -- Regards, Steven

Epson USB scanner permissions in 9.2
by Fergus Wilde 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

I fear we may have done this in the three weeks I've been away, but, extensive googling hasn't got me where I'm going yet: Epson Perfection 2450 Photo scanner, problem free with 2.4 kernel series, problems with 9.1, partly resolved with kind help of many, partic Kastus and Sid. Now different prob, maybe easier? Kooka works absolutely fine as root, so I am assuming not much is broken and thus not posting scads of logs. But will not work as user. Over what should I shake a rubber chicken to allow users to scan, or is it the full horror again searching through 25,000 nameless files? Cheers Fergus

looking for a good USB 802.11g adapter
by Jason Joines 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

I'm looking for an 802.11g compabitle USB wireless adapter to use with SuSE 9.1 or 9.2. I'd like something like the LinkSys WUSB12 because of its size. However, it doesn't do 802.11g and I don't know if it runs under Linux or not. Anyone out there using something like this? Any particularly good or bad experiences?
