(Thanks for your description - it's enough to get my laser printer working. Not the inkjet, though.) I use that exact printer. I set mine up with hp-setup as root. You do need a GUI or at least mine did. If you type in hp- and then hit tab twice, you will see some other interesting commands as well. The set up is pretty straight forward on mine. Cups seemed to do its thing after that as well. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)

Also, I generated an ssh key using the exact same syntax that you used and my key looks different that what I can glean about your key. The ---BEGIN, Proc-Type and DEK-Info lines are in an old dsa key I created, while the rsa key just says BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY- followed by key data. The DSA key says the same, except DSA as opposed to RSA. From the logs it looks like w formatting issue, given the whitespace errors. have you tried loading your key into an agent? try: ssh-agent /bin/bash ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa This will unlock your key and let that session authenticate for you. It also has the nice side effect of checking if your private key is a real private key. The only time I have a problem w/pub/private keys is when I create them on a windows box and try to export it to ssh. The other way around always works for me.

[gentoo-user] Raid reports wrong size
Hi, I created today a raid5 with three 1.5TB harddisks. What I did: 1. created partitions on every harddisk with type 0xfd, fdisk says: Platte /dev/sdb: 1500.3 GByte, 1500301910016 Byte 255 K?pfe, 63 Sektoren/Spuren, 182401 Zylinder Einheiten = Zylinder von 16065 ? 512 = 8225280 Bytes Disk identifier: 0x9e99f286 Ger?t boot. AnfangEnde Bl?cke Id System /dev/sdb1 1 182401 1465136001 fd Linux raid autodetect 2. Created the raid with: mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level 5 --raid-devices 3 /dev/sd[bcd]1 cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [multipath] [faulty] md0 : active raid5 sdd1[2] sdc1[1] sdb1[0] 2930271872 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU] Here seems everything fine. 3. Created a filesystem on the raid with: mkfs.xfs /dev/xfs 4. Mounted the filesystem with: mount /dev/md0 /video_test df -h /dev/md0 747G 5,5M 747G 1% /video_test The raid should have a nice of 3TB and not 747GB. Has anyone an idea what is wrong here? TIA.

I forgot about this thread - sorry. I finally found out what was causing it: I had an entry for a previous server on the same IP address in the ~/.ssh/config file on the client and had disabled publickey to make the login faster. On that occasion the server was a router and it did not offer publickey authentication. After a couple of years I had forgotten all about it . . .
