[SuSE Linux] cd-r in linux
All, I'd like to get a scsi (but perhaps ide if the funds fall through), cd-r. To write to a cd, do you just copy like it's another hd, or do you need some sort of software. if you need software, is it free, and if not, what is street and list price? thanks -- Aaron Seelye Running S.u.S.E. 5.2 <A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto"><A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A">http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

S.u.S.E. comes with xcdroast, and perhaps one or two other cd burning apps. -- .###. /#######\## -==============================================- ;##### ;# Mike's WindowMaker ;##### ;# <A HREF="http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html"><A HREF="http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html</A">http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html</A</A>> \# /## -==============================================- ###'---'#### - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
Hi Aaron, We just went through this. To minimize the number of problems that you have you should stick with SCSI. We did ours in Win98 with a minimum of hassles. There is EZ-CD from Adaptec which works fine. You do need some dedicated HD space to do the job, we found that 800 MB was fine. You will coaster about 10-20 percent of your disks for mysterious reasons. However, you can find deals on CDR material. With coupons and rebates we have the cost down to 50 cents each or less! So the amount of material that you store per buck is awsome. Good Luck with your project. -ted Aaron Seelye wrote:

Hi, Has anyone experienced/solved a similar problem? - printer printing extremely slow and choppy - gs 5.1 segmentation violation after install I am running from a straight 5.2 Suse installation and upgraded to 2.0.35. Now I got a Epson Stylus 800 printer but it prints at a speed of maybe 10+ minutes to a page. During that time, gs is hogging almost all the CPU cycles there are, printing of lines comes out sporadically and choppy, a line per minute or so. When I attempt to install another printer driver with /usr/lib/apsfilter/SETUP it complains that this driver is not supported with the current ghostscript version (4.03). I downloaded the ghostscript 5.2 binaries (several rpms) and installed from Suse. there were complaints about libc.so.6 and libvgagl.so.1 missing, so I got the svgalib-1.2.13-3 and glibc-2.0.7-13 rpms from RedHat's site and installed that too. Now the new gs dies with segmentation violation - I am at a loss of what to do... I appreciate your feedback.

Are you using original 2.0.35? If so, apply the attached patch.

Hi, me again... I looked at the code - that patch was already applied, I used the SUSE 2.0.35 linux source to compile the kernal. I don't think the problem is the lp driver. cat <filename> > /dev/lp1 prints sufficiently fast. I think the problem is with ghostscript going nuts about some bits it sees when processing a file and and spending all it's time with it ;-) Seriously, somehow gs is invoked as a filter and something goes wrong. An updated gs version seems adequate (I have 4.03) since apsfilter definitions appear not to work with the 4.03) I guess, I'll have to compile gs myself or change the whole printing/spooling/filtering business to something which works better. Thanks anyway, Samartha

Most of the cd-r's come with the adaptec software, but seeing how I run linux 980f the time, and I really do not enjoy windows of any flavor, I think I'll try the xcdtoaster. thanks for trying though. -- Aaron Seelye Running S.u.S.E. 5.2 <A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto"><A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A">http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Hi my point was not convert you only to give you a quick over-view of what we just did. Toaster is the only thing we have in Linux

How about traceroute (/usr/sbin/traceroute)? George - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
