Help configuring debconf
Thak you, I got back my French keyboard. But now I have another problem : while trying to configure debconf (and the other packages depending on debconf), the configuring script issues the message "Debconf is running in web mode. Go to http://localhost:8001." Then the script seems to stop, maybe waiting for the answers to the questions to be given at the port 8001. Of course, since I have not installed debconf, I cannot install lynx or other http client, which seems to depend on debconf. Now, I would like to reconfigure debconf to be installed in normal (text) mode, and not in http mode. I tried dpkg-preconfigure and dpkg-reconfigure without any result. Can anybody help me ?

Help : Keyboard + ATI Rage Fury Pro 128
Hi all, I've just tried to upgrade to woody from potato, but I've lost my French keyboard. Now, I have an American keyboard, and I don't know what to do to retrieve my original one. I'm using console-tools. Can anybody help me ? Additionally, I've tried to upgrade to testing because I did not succeed to install my video card xith XF86Setup on potato. It is an ATI Rage Fury Pro 128. Does anybody know which driver should I use ? Thanks, Petru

Re: LPRng Printing Problem
I have exactly the same problem, but with a remote (network) printer. I tried lpd instead of LprNG, the problem stays. It might be a bug somewhere. Maybe we should file a bug report ?

I have local and remote lpd and smb printers working. Well, me too, it just happens that after upgrading my potato packages to the latest versions and installing KDE, I am not able to print anymore. However, I get no error messages. I don't understand why, because I haven't changed my /etc/printcap file. Maybe our problem is related to KDE rather than lpr.

Network Printer
Hello. I have a stand-alone network printer (Xerox NC 60 PS3) and try to use it with Debian potato. When Isend a job to the printer via the printing daemon (lpr), everything seems normal, I mean the job is removed and I got no error messages, but the printer prints nothing. Now, I tried both Lprng an lpd, the result is the same. With lprng, I sometimes got the message "Nothing to print", but usually everything happens as the job had been printed. The jobs are however correctly printed with rlpr -H on the remote printer... Does anybody know the reason of my trouble ? Could it be linked to KDE's "HP Laserjet utility" ? Before installing KDE, I had the same printcap files, and everything worked fine. Help ! -- Petru NOTINGHER jr.

Re: HP Laserjet 1100
Thanks a lot. In fact, I tried the same filters, and it works, as you say. By the way, do you know how to use the scanner ? Petru Hi there, I use Debian 2.1 I have had the HP 1100 for some time. I have no problem using the printer at 300 dpi and 600 dpi. I use the magicfilter system that comes with Debian. I use the ljet4-filter and the ljet4l-filter. They both work beautifully, especially when printing postscript files. I can send a copy of them if you need to have them.

Pb : ppp with Mozilla 4.51 2.2.4
Hi folks. I have a little problem with Mozilla 4.51 under 2.2.4: since I've upgraded from 2.0.36 for a PnP card, Mozilla started to suck : when I push 'Get Messages', the button grays, but I can wait for years, I never get my messages. My ppp connection still works, I've verified it with ping and ftp in command line. It's the same with HTTP : 'Connected to...', and then nothing. Now, I suppose that's related to the kernel, because the problem stays when using lynx. Anybody has an idea ? Thanks. Petru -- Petru NOTINGHER jr.

SB64 PCI + CD audio Problem
Thanks a lot. In fact, I chose the ES1370 and all the .wav files play. On the contrary, I have a problem with the audio CDs: workman (or XPlayCD) seems to play them, but I have no sound from the card. TkMixer has no influence on it. Have an idea ? Petru Cyrus Patel wrote: Hi Petru, I have a SB64 PCI sound card as well. When compiling the kernel I chose the Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI 97 (ES1371) option in the sound menu and it worked fine. But I think some SB64 cards may use the ES1370 chip - in which case there is an option for that in the sound menu of the kernel config as well. I remember that my card worked fine for kernel 2.2.4 so I don't think you should have any kernel related problems.

Hi. I have a HP1100 Printer + Scanner. I use magicfilter to print, but the best resolution I got is only 300 dpi (with the laserjetplus filter), whilst the printer supports 600 dpi.
