[gentoo-user] Password based printing
Hi list, I need to build a printserver inside my gentoo box. This printserver will serve about 50 printers for about 500 users.

Any idea guys? Im looking at the cups-pam-ldap solution, that is cups will use pam authentication and pam will use ldap modules. My problem is how to convince cups to use pam authentication for some printers. In the cups documentation, there is no information regarding implementation of pam.

It does however play DVD and Divx fine with ~ 20% for DVD and ~60-80% for Divx (CPU usage) So getting a haugepage is definately a need if you want to offload the processing to do encoding On a related issue I'm concerned about noise. I was following links for the Epia SP main board and ran into this one: http://www.epiacenter.com/modules.php?name=Contentpa=showpagepid=58 At the bottom of the page I find: However, the cpu fan has not changed and is still the 25dba fan that has been used for a very long time. This is rather dissappointing considering the nearly silent Mini Mac recently announced - considering the low power CPU it seems a shame that the CPU cooling solution isn't drastically quieter. However, compared to some computers, which are normally 35dba or higher, the EPIA may seem quite quiet. Seems to me if one of these is going to sit in my Home Theater stack I want it silent, or as close to it as possible. It does raise the idea of using a Mac Mini running Gentoo to do some of this. Seems to me that the cost of the Mini-ITX mainboard, a case, memory, and some sort of hard drive is likely to approach $500, isn't it? Maybe I'm being pessimistic. I have a sound meter.

[gentoo-user] Autoloading scsi scanner kernel modules
I have an old HP scanner that works fine with one of the drivers included in the kernel. I compiled the driver as a module since I don't use the scanner all that often. However, this means the scanner doesn't work unless it's switched on before booting. Up till now, I've just su-ed to root, and removed and reinserted the appropriate module using modprobe. (I'm not sure if I could have just echoed the right thing to /proc/scsi/scsi, but modprobe certainly does the job). This is an ugly hack though, since anyone who wants to use the scanner either has to have the root password or has to reboot. So I tried getting it to insert the modules and scsi device as needed, by adding the following lines to /etc/modules.conf: pre-install sg modprobe sym53c416 alias char-major-21 sg post-install sg echo scsi add-single-device 0 0 2 0 /proc/scsi/scsi This didn't achieve much until I added a /dev/scanner symlink to the appropriate device under /dev/scsi/ (I'm still using devfs). With the symlink in place, it almost works. If I manually unload the scanner modules (actually, unloading the sg module is sufficient), then switch on the scanner and try scanning from a normal user account, the modules are inserted automatically and everything works. Unfortunately, this only works if I first unload the modules. For some inexplicable reason, the scanner driver and the sg modules are loaded at boot, even though they're *not* listed in /etc/modules.autoload.d/. And I guess with the modules already loaded, the sg module doesn't get loaded again when /dev/scanner is accessed, so the pre-install and post-install commands never get executed. Am I making a mess here, is there a better way to do what I want, or am I missing something simple? The SANE web site got me this far, but I can't find anything on the web, forums or lists to get me the last step. (For starters, I'd like to know why the scanner modules are loaded at boot. Is there any way to find out what's causing them to be loaded?)

Linux, including Gentoo, can run from any drive in the system. If Gentoo is not already your default boot from Grub, you can easily make it so; ask this if needed. If you want to COMPLETELY remove XP from the box, that is easy too, erase its partition and create another one (or more) there to use as you like. If, ask. If you don't want to swap any data from drive-x to drive-y, then you will not be able to use new partitions as /, /usr, /var, etc, since these are all already defined, so the newly-empty space would be, for instsance, /work or .music or whatever. I am not sure I understand the first two lines above, but if I understand #3 correctly, you __do__ want to *completely* erase XP, right? rgh. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] SSH printing to remote printer
Here is my setup; my gentoo box1 - internet - remote firewall/print server - remote gentoo box2 | V printer I want to print a document from my gentoo box1 to a printer that is connected to remote firewall/print server WITHOUT COPYING DOCUMENT to remote gentoo box2. 1.) Remote firewall has a port knocking installed and accept ssh connection (that is easy part). Solution a.) I could open world-wide print serve port on remote firewall/print server but I don't want to do it. Solution b.) write a small script to: - open port on the remote firewall - scp document over ssh to remote gentoo box2 - print the dcoument - remove the document - close connection - close open port on remote firewall Solution c.) What I would like to do, is to print local document to remote print server over ssh without copying this document to remote box2. Is there a way of doing it? -- #Joseph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] X random freeze but mouse still moves
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I had this problem as well. If you are using composite, try turning that off, as that is what did it for me. Actually, I think I could have done some combination of leaving composite on and fiddling with AllowCompositeWithGLX. MalachiX wrote: I have been battling an ongoing problem for a while. When I am on Linux, X will just randomly freezes/hangs. I can not control alt backspace. The mouse still moves though, it is only the screen that freezes. The problem has been on Gentoo forum for a few months now: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-198023.html The problem is also posted about on the Nvidia forum: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=31858 What is responsible still is not clear.
