Adobe Illustrator pendant on Linux
by Johannes Egerer 04 Mar '04

04 Mar '04

Hello, I would need something like the Adobe Illustrator under Linux and before I will try wine, I would like to know, if there is some alternative. The OpenOffice Draw-program has some of the functionality, but as far as I know only 72 dpi output, so, does anyone know a possibility? Thanks in advance, JE -- +++ NEU bei GMX und erstmalig in Deutschland: TÜV-geprüfter Virenschutz +++ 100% Virenerkennung nach Wildlist. Infos: http://www.gmx.net/virenschutz

Is usblp.o a module in kernel 2.4.21-192?
by Bob Pearson 04 Mar '04

Hi, I still can't print with my usb printer since upgrading to security fix k_athlon-2.4.21-192. Can someone with a 2.4.21-192 kernel with a working USB printer please run: # modprobe -l usb\* and tell me if they get output different from (besides the athlon part): /lib/modules/2.4.21-192-athlon/kernel/drivers/usb/usbvnetr.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-192-athlon/kernel/drivers/usb/usbvnet5_2958.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-192-athlon/kernel/drivers/usb/usbvnet5.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-192-athlon/kernel/drivers/usb/usbvideo.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-192-athlon/kernel/drivers/usb/usbnet.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-192-athlon/kernel/drivers/usb/usblcd.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-192-athlon/kernel/drivers/usb/usbdnet.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-192-athlon/kernel/drivers/usb/usbdfu.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-192-athlon/kernel/drivers/usb/usbcore.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-192-athlon/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-midi.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-192-athlon/kernel/drivers/usb/host/usb-uhci.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-192-athlon/kernel/drivers/usb/host/usb-ohci.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-192-athlon/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-192-athlon/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.o Best Regards. -- _/_/_/ Bob Pearson gottadoit(a)mailsnare.net _/_/_/ "The best way to get information on Usenet is not to ask a _/_/_/ question, but to post the wrong information." - Aahz' Law

IPC$ password error
by marcia 04 Mar '04

04 Mar '04

Dear All, I have my Suse 8.2 distro setup with samba 2.28a and use webmin mostly for samba configuration. I have 3 computers networked using samba. I use a SpeedStream wireless/wired router which is directly wired into my Suse 8.2(samba server). My husband's computer is hooked up to the only printer(HP 940c deskjet) and has windows 98 SE . I , also, have a laptop that is wirelessly hooked up to this router. I can browse easily now through LinNeighborhood on my Suse 8.2, and I can see my linuxserver from windows 98 Network Neighborhood. I can browse and open the shared folders that are my husband's when I am using his win 98 computer, but whenever I try to open the linux computer from Network Neighborhood I get the IPC$ password box that does not accept any passwords. I have studied this for weeks and cannot get around it yet. I have share security setup and encrypted passwords. I did not want to change windows 98 to unencrypted but if that is the only way I will since this is only a home private network with 2 people using the computers-----certainly a trusted network. I believe this could be a permission problem or a password problem even though I did what I can to make sure all the passwords, users, etc are the same on both computers. I cannot figure this out. Here is my smb.conf which shows what a newbie I am at this I am sure. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Tape Backup Software Recommendations
by L. Mark Stone 04 Mar '04

04 Mar '04

Does anyone have strong preferences (for or against) any particular native Linux, enterprise-grade tape backup software products that will support DLT-IV, AIT and Travan tape backups, as well as backups to NAS devices? We are looking for something equivalent to Veritas Backup Exec on Windows. Specifically, we will need to backup multiple Linux and Windows servers from one machine; MS SQL servers (while they are running); open files on a Samba server; and MS Exchange. Thanks!

Printing issue Linux -> WIndows printer server
by Martin Mielke 04 Mar '04

04 Mar '04

Hi all, once again, I hope to find piece of mind through this cool list... :P Scenario: SuSE 9.0 Pro on a rather heterogeneous network, where the printer server is a Win2000. I want to configure my SuSE to use the network printers; it could be: a) [prefered way] using the corporate printer server, b) print directly to the printer's queue. Surely this has been alredy covered and it's as simple as summing 2+2 ... ;) Thanks in advance! Regards, Martin

Merry meet venerable Sir or Lady and Blessed Be. /May we and all our relatives be safe and secure May we and all our relatives be happy at heart/ Hi, I have a 5 button mouse of Typhoon. Yet I can only select a three button mouse with SuSE 9.0 Can anybody tell me whether or not it is possible to use the other two buttons as well. I can chose to put the mouse on the USB or PS/2. Its a nice mouse with a wheel button as well. Further would I like to thank everyone who makes this wonderfull work possible. Blessed Be everyone!/ / /May all beings be safe and secure/ /May all beings be happy at heart/ with mudita Ratana Mata -- Out of the Ratana Sutta. 1.

May you all radiate loving-kindness to those human beings who, by day and night, bring offerings to you (offer merit to you). Wherefore, protect them with diligence. ... ... 5.

Firewall/SIP/VoIP Config Question
by Andrei Verovski 04 Mar '04

04 Mar '04

Hi, I have continuos and strange problem with SIP VoIP system, which consist of SER (sip express router) hosted by our provider, XTen client, and Grandstream hardware sip IP phone. The same software and hardware were successfully used by another people (unfortunately, they do not run shorewall, so I cannot ask them what to do). Our ShoreWall (www.shorewall.net) firewall machine is SuSE 9 Linux PC with 2 network cards (external static IP 62.85.100.103, static internal static IPs 192.168.0.xx, no dhcp). My config is based on two-interface sample from original shorewall rpm. ------------------- ---- interfaces ---- ------------------- net eth0 detect norfc1918,routefilter loc eth1 detect ------------- --- masq --- ------------- eth0 eth1 62.85.100.103 ------------ --- policy ---- ------------ loc net ACCEPT fw net ACCEPT fw loc ACCEPT net all DROP info # THE FOLLOWING POLICY MUST BE LAST all all REJECT info ------------- --- rules --- ------------ # SIP Client Ports ACCEPT loc net tcp 5060 5060 ACCEPT loc net udp 5060 5060 ACCEPT loc net udp 8000:8020 8000:8020 ACCEPT net loc tcp 5060 5060 ACCEPT net loc udp 5060 5060 ACCEPT net loc udp 8000:8020 8000:8020 ACCEPT net fw tcp 5060 5060 ACCEPT net fw udp 5060 5060 ACCEPT net fw udp 8000:8020 8000:8020 ----------------- nat - file is empty (left as is from two-interface sample). ---------------- SIP client like XTen uses 5060 tcp/udp to establish communications and 8000 - 8020 for voice transmission. The login to SIP server is OK. I can even hear another people who call me or whom calling I am. However, they do NOT hear me. Microphone is OK, verified. Anyone have an idea what I did wrong? Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). ********************************************* * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * Personal Home Page * http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac/ * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site *********************************************
