Do I not remember you ..
Yes, Hi Stan!
Actually, Carlos gave me the clue to a prepared binary RPM for efax,
A basic principle is that if the rpm does not work, do not spent too much time with it and do it from source. If they problem is basic setup is different. If you have trouble, just follow the guide a wrote, it is long to read but short to implement. I added extra descriptions mainly for people new to linux. If you have a problem in any the steps I may be able to help you.
***** efax-09a 17.34.22 Error: can't open pre-lock file /var/lock/TMP 13605 permission denied
efax-09a 17.34.22 finished - unrecoverable error *****
#mkdir -m 777 /lockfax Then open efax-gtk be sure you are not in standby and File/setting/modem/Lock File: and here enter the directory that you've just created /lockfax That should solve the error. I described it in the #6 of the guide.
1) I understood that the program is capable of providing a virtual printer, so that one can print from an application. I don't know how to do this, and it is nowhere mentioned, as far as I could see. I assume that a driver for it would have to pipe content through ghostscript to efax-gtk, but that is the limit of my guessing.
Stan this is in the guide and I wrote 2 ways to do it.
2) Although there is now no error about being able to find the log file I have defined, when I try to open the log I get a warning reading: "Cannot open logfile for viewing". Why is one of the mysteries of the early 21st century.
The log file is define under File/Setting/Logging
I do of course have a faxmodem, external USR 56K.
Have you been able to connect? If not suse has many utilities to accomplish it. I like wvdial #wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf will scan all the ports etc. Well this is not a modem guide :) but you have to see the modem before efax can work.
As I've mentioned elsewhere, I have already spent far too much time in wrestling with this enigmatic program.
