How 'bout showing us your printcap file? Seems as though you have an rp=
and a rm= line in your $PRINTER or lp entry. You will want to manually
edit the thing.
Have you tried
todos <<EOF >/dev/lp0 # or /dev/lp1
this is a test

Debian now has "gnome-apt/gtk-apt," which is a pretty front-end onto
APT; that does generally qualify.
There's not yet an RPM manager (AFAIK; if someone can contradict this,
I would be *extremely* pleased to be so contradicted) that provides
equivalent functionality to the Debian "groups-of-packages" management
software.
It would be sensible for someone to write such a utility to manipulate
the joint set of:
a) The RPM database on local machine (e.g. - listing what's
installed),
b) Some set of remote lists of RPM files,
along with
c) An HTTP/FTP/local FS "wrapper" to handle the downloading and
installation of the remote stuff that the user asks to have installed,
along with
d) Fairly intense checking of dependancies so as to make sure that
nothing breaks in the process of installing/upgrading...
This doesn't forcibly have to be a "GNOME" package; there doubtless
needs to be a front end, but most of the "smarts" are in the
database/dependancy checking.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Read the authors' comments. If they say "DEVELOPERS ONLY! THIS SOFTWARE
WILL DESTROY YOUR MACHINE!!", take care. Version numbers mean little:
many KDE applications are very stable, and yet are version 0.x. KWord,
part of the KOffice suite, is meant to be usable for everyday
lightweight work, and is v0.0.1!.
Look at the Linux kernel: 1.2.13 was very stable, 2.1.44 could trash
filesystems. 2.2.3 seems OK, but 2.2.4 could let a devastating bug slip
out.
Advice: get the version that the authors seem to be pushing you towards,
and try it. It is phenomenally unlikely you'll do any costly damage -
the only thing you might waste is time.
Alpha means suitable for development testing, with the intention of
making more improvements and fixes. Beta tends to signify the approach
of a formal production release, after testing satisfies the authors they
have wiped out the important bugs. Development and stable are not quite
synonymous with alpha/beta/production, therefore.

Subject: Linux 2.2.3 and Ultrix 4.3: incompatible NFS?
Date: 11 Mar 1999 19:39:47 GMT
I've just upgraded a PC with RedHat Linux 5.2 installed from kernel 2.0.36
to 2.2.3. I've noticed the following problem:
when I access (by loging in as a user) /home, which is actually a symbolic
link to /net/itp4/home, with /net being the amd automount directory and
itp4 being an Ultrix 4.3 box serving as NFS server for /home, I get
NFS: server itp4, readdir reply truncated
NFS: nr=43, slot=-1, len=0
and then the login shell (tcsh) hangs.
syslog says the same.
Now, when I stop the login script with ^c, I get into the linux machine.
When I then type "pwd"
I get the following console message on the Ultrix NFS server:
xdr_bytes: bad size FAILED
svcheckudp_send: xdr_replymsg failed
rfs_dispatch: sendreplay failed
which keeps repeating all over.
In the meantime, the linux shell hangs indefinitely.
Syslog says:
nfs: itp4 server not responding
manually mounting /home from the server works fine (as root).
When I change (as root) into /var/spool/mail, which is also amd mounted
from that same Ultrix server, I also get that "truncated" message when
that directory is mounted. Subsequently doing an ls only gives me the
first douzend or so mailboxes, with the other files being seemingly
nonexistant (they are still present on the server, but I don't know what
would happen if one tried an NFS write to that directory).
I have taken the amd src rpm and rebuilt it after upgrading to 2.2.3,
but this only made go away that "kernel is newer than nfs" (or similar)
warning message. It's am-utils-6.0a16-4.
Is this a known problem? Is my configuration at fault? Is it the
kernel's fault or amd's?

Subject: Re: Canon Printer
Date: 11 Mar 1999 15:32:44 GMT
(Please note that on my system I use kmod and I have the parallel port
support compiled as modules. This answer is based on that type of setup.)
First, check your /etc/printcap . If you recently upgraded from kernel
2.0.x to 2.2.x, you will need to change the value of "lp". For example, my
2.0.36 /etc/printcap used the following line: ":lp=/dev/lp1:\"
When I moved to the 2.2.1 kernel, I had to modify this line to read:
":lp=/dev/lp0:\" .
The reason (I am not an expert) is that the parallel port device switched
from lp1 to lp0 when you move from kernel 2.0.x to 2.2.x .
The second thing you might have to do is edit your /etc/conf.modules. I
have the parallel port support compiled as modules. It was therefore
necessary to add the following to my /etc/conf.modules file: (I will just
copy it here:)
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
Adding this to /etc/conf.modules tells the parallel port support module(s)
where to find the parallel port on your PC (forgive the simplistic
description). If you have parallel port support compiled into the kernel
(not as a module), there is another way to do this (please read through the
documentation file "parport.txt", found in the kernel source tree under
"Documentation". It describes the method I use on my box, and the method
of using the parallel support as built into the kernel.
Hope I have been of some help.

Yes, I know that. But the 111.111.111.111 was only an example. The
address will change next time when I dialup. That's why I would like
to know if it is possible to assign a fix name (like "foobar") to my

The ICA client works under X it seems that you are working only on the
shell (command prompt). Try typing startx a X-server will be started
(when it is installed, then you should open an Xterm session and start
the program again). Then a new window will be opened with some info
where you wanna find a WInframe or Terminal server. (I haven;t

Take a look at "resque_disk-2.0.22.tar.gz" in: (Sunsite)
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/recovery/
and study what its creator did. He produces a single diskette rescue
system that runs exclusively in RAM. I've modified his scheme by
deleting some bells-and-whistles and added network support, keeping
it all on one 1.44M diskette (allows remote restore). Also, you might
peruse the whole recovery subdirectory for other similar systems. If
you just can't get everything on a single diskette create a utility
diskette with additional programs.

Perhaps, but in this country even if they didn't have a case, they could
easily force an individual or small company into bankrupcy just through
1) a legal suit, 2) an appeal when that suit was thrown out of court...
to MS, spending months in the courtroom means little relative to their
bottom line, to me, I'd have trouble hiring 1 lawyer for 1 day in
court...:-(
