Subject: Strange printing problem with a BJC 250
Date: 1 Jul 2000 21:17:49 GMT
I used to have no problems printing (albeit not very sharp
and dull color) on a canon BJC 250 printer. I upgraded recently
to gs-5.5, and started to get fuzzy text. I then downgraded back
to gs-5.1, and the fuzzy text is still there.
I have since run out of ink in my black cartridge, and put in a
color (photo ink) cartridge that I had as a spare. I'm still sending
data to the printer using gs-5.1, from the command line (having some
problems with printtool) using a command like the following:
# gs -sDEVICE=uniprint @bjc610a1.upp -sOutputFile=/dev/lp0 whatever.ps
All of a sudden (after changing the cartridge) everything printed to
the printer is suddenly only 1/2 as large as it should be. It is as if
the page is being limited to 1/2 the regular length of the page (4 instead
of 8 inches) and is being squeezed to fit in this size. I can't understand
why a simple cartridge change would have this effect. I wonder if anyone
has had this problem?

Finally!!! ALSA (www.alsa-project.org) has released sound drivers that
WORK WITH THE YAMAHA DS-XG. And yeah, they're free. I have a Micron
Millennia MAX 500 with a SE400BX2 motherboard. I downloaded the drivers,
did a little configuration, and I now have sound in Linux. =) My only
problem is MIDI... right now it seems that whenever I tell it the correct
IRQ it says that it's being used, and no other IRQs will cause it to make
any sound. I'll bet that can be fixed with a little more configuration,
though.
Slight note... when you first initialize the ALSA drivers, everything will
be muted. This happens every time you turn on your computer. As you would
expect this gets annoying having to turn the volume up every time and I am
looking into a way to keep it from automatically muting whenever I turn on
my computer.
Hope that works for you!

I have the same card working with redhat 6.2 and rp-pppoe 1.9. Here's the
issues I ran into (that I can remember):
- You're showing no IRQ on your eth0 output from ifconfig. Should look as
follows:
Interrupt:9 Base address:0xd000
- Unless you've specifically gone into the kernel src and made a few changes
to the .config file, all I can say is that mine wasn't setup for rtl8139 at
all. In fact there was a bug in "make xconfig" that wouldn't allow me to
graphically choose the realtek rtl8139 button for module OR link. I had to
modify a few things to get it to work but this is what the .config file
network section looked like after I got it to appear. In fact, if you just
look at the line :CONFIG_RTL8139=y: you should be able to manually set this
if it's not set in your .config file. Then you can do your make bzImage or
whatever you make in your case.
- I also had to modify something in /usr/src/linux/includes in order to get
rtl8139.c to even be compiled, so there's some bugs in the kernel around
this chipset. You can just copy over the newer version of rtl8139.c which
seem to work fine. I've got a copy of it if you need it.
- If you do a "more /proc/pci" you ought to see your card show up as a
"realtek 8139" NIC and it should show the irq and base address it's using.
(like the ifconfig eth0 should).
- /etc/ppp/options should be completely blank.
hope that's of some use for your setup.

This is almost certainly the problem. Read

Yes, and it likely say "IRQ 0", which is unusable.

Hi all ! Can anybody out there explain to me conceptually how
Linux (the kernel) produces random numbers. I'm not asking about
the "random" functions provided by the different programming
languages. I'm asking about the random genrator that starts up
as the OS boots. I'd like to know how it uses the
peripheral "noise" ( and what is meant by noise ) to produce
an "entropy pool" ( and what's that? ). Basically, I'd like to
know how a hardware RNG works, and as a particular example, how
the Linux kernel implements it.
Thank you,
Nirav

Subject: PRNG & randomness !!
From: niravs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Sat, 01 Jul 2000 16:18:10 -0700
Hi all ! I have a question to ask on pseudo-RNG. Most of the
material I've come across concerning PRNG that produce integer
random numbers seem to have one comon limiation, the question of
periodicity. Knuth and others have overcome the problem by
introducing periodicity checks in the program to produce PRNG
that are virtually aperiodic.
However, I was wondering, the limitation exists, because the
PRNG are "truly" integer PRNG. That is, can't the problem be
overcome, if we have PRNGs that produce uniformly distributed
real numbers int he interval [a;b], and to convert this to
produce the desired integers? Won't this solve the problem
directly?
I haven't studied the distrubution of the following example,
but can't the equation: Xn+1 = rXn( 1- Xn ) that had been used
to model the chaotic behaviour of populations be used for such a
PRNG or any other real-number-PRNG?
Also, when simple systems (equation) start producing chaotic
behaviour, don't they become unpredicable, so don't they become
random? Therefore I was just wondering, if you've heard of the
Chaitin-Kolmogroff definition of random sequence (the length of
the program being comparable to the length of the sequence
itself) how good would the above type of PRNGs be according to
that definition, and in reality how good are they?
That was many questions in one title, but I'd really
appreciate an answer, or atleast any contacts you many know of
people who might know the anwer and will be ready to help me.
(please give me their email address.)
Thank you,
Nirav

Thanks. I fixed the problem with the help of the post.
I just had to turn "Plug and Play OS" to NO in my BIOS
so that the BIOS served up the correct IRQ. After that,
it worked in Redhat 6.2 straight out of the box..no kernel compiles needed.

Subject: IDE Cable Problems
Date: Sat, 01 Jul 2000 20:09:25 -0400
I'm having a problem with my CDROM in my Dell Dimension XPS 450 desktop.
Orignally the machine came with one hard drive, a zip drive and a cdrom.
The hard drive was on the shorter ide cable, the zip drive and the cdrom
on a second slightly longer cable (probably 14"). I've just added a
second hard drive. Because of the geometry of the case I had to use the
longer cable to hook up the two hard drives to ide0, these both work
fine. The original hard drive cable is to short to hook up both the
cdrom and the zip drive so I went to Radio Shack and bought the only IDE
cable they had which is 24". I hooked up the ZIP and the CDROM with the
new cable but the BIOS only saw the ZIP drive. If I hook up the CDROM
alone then the system sees it. My first thought was that the cable was
to long so I went to Comp USA an bought the only cable that they sell,
which is 19". I tried that with the same result. I then swapped the Dell
cable with the CompUSA cable, but that caused the system not to boot at
all, the BIOS couldn't see the hard drives. It seems curious to me that
both the ZIP and the CDROM can work alone, I would have thought that one
would be jumpered as a Master and the other as a Slave. This leads me to
several questions.
1) Can ATA33 automatically configure master and slave devices without
jumpers? And if so is there a special IDE cable required that differs
from a standard cable? Could it be that the Dell cables are different.
2) Could it simply be a length problem, do I need to find a 14" cable?
3) If I have to buy a cable off of the web, with shipping it's going to
cost me almost as much as an ATA66 controller (The ATA66 controllers
seem to be priced at $50 including the cable). Is there an ATA66
controller card that will work with Redhat 6.2 that doesn't require a
kernal rebuild? I'm willing to run it as ATA33 until the 2.4 kernal
comes out.
Thanks,
Josh

Sounds like a CSS (Cable Switch Select) problem. Modern IDE devices have
3 possible jumper configs--master, slave, and CSS. If it's set to CSS,
then the system is theoretically supposed to be able to figure out which
device should be what. This doesn't always work, so the safe bet is to
manually set the jumpers to a fixed setting and plug the devices in that
way. CD-ROMs usually have the factory default set to "master" while ZIPs
have the factory default set as "slave". Check the markings on the drive
near the jumper block to figure out what the settings are, and set them
appropriately.
Also make sure that the BIOS is set so that it autodetects every device on
all the IDE channels. If the BIOS doesn't see it at system boot,
convincing Linux to see it is a bit more difficult....

I've got Debian Potato (using kernel 2.2.17) running on one of my ancient
66Mhz 486DXs. Runs without any problems whatsoerver. And it only has a 240Mb
disk - and no cd-rom drive. I managed to get it installed over NFS - turned
out to be easy, once I stumbled on the right IO address for the network card
(no plug-and-pray here).
In theory you should only need:
* Rescue Floppy
* Root image floppy
* 2 x driver floppy disk
* Network card (that you know the make/model/IO & IRQ of)
* NFS access to the cd (or 'bout 12 floppies) to get the base
* Internet access to retrieve any other packages you might want, e.g. X,
Perl, you-name-it.
For whatever it's worth

Glad it's working. That was no doubt a bum steer about remaking the kernel. I
forgot that I've never tried the default kernel that is with the dist. since
I've got some other customizations I use.
