Subject: telnet & term printing
Date: Sun, 11 Apr 1999 23:09:56 GMT
Hello all!
I have been trying to find a way to do ansi terminal printing
via a telnet session in Linux. In MacOS or Windows, telnet clients will
dump ansi print jobs to local printers or allow you to send it to a
capture file. I have not figured out how to do this in Linux, however.
Examples are to print using "attached to ansi" in pine, or what
is most important to me right now, to print to a terminal printer from
the ovid search engine.
Thanks for any help!

Yep, there is. Look at the cdrecord man page.

Yep. Again, look at the cdrecord man page.
(Ah, there was once a day when I had enough disk space to make images
first.... :/)
I will say that shoving in my CD's and using 'ripit' to launch
cdparanoia, bladeenc, etc, is damned cool, though. I'm almost done with
building a set of 9 Elis Regina CD's onto one CD-R, so I guess the lack
of disk space is worth it... hours and hours of Elis without changing
discs.

I mount a nt-share on my linux-machine to /mnt/temp.
then I do the following:
#echo test>`date +%H.%M`.txt
#ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5 Apr 11 22:38 22.38.txt
ok thats fine. time 22:38 and file 22.38.txt
but when make dir on the nt-machine, I get:
--a-- 5 Sun Apr 11 20:38:04 1999 22.38.txt
^^^^^ ^^^^^^
file 22.38.txt created at 20:38 !!!
this is two hours earlier !!!
linux is running xntpd and nt get its time from the linux-machine.
I�m sure this is a problem with timezones but both machines seems to have
the timezones set up properly.
I am located in Austria (GMT+1 and daylightsaving-time)
# ls -l /etc/localtime
... /etc/localtime -> ../usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Vienna
# date
Mon Apr 12 23:11:08 CEST 1999
^^^^
is CEST correct for austria/germany ?
$TZ isnt set ! should this one be set under linux ?
on nt I�ve set the timezone to GMT+1 and automatic changin to daylight-
saving-time !!
or is it a samba-problem ?

Dear Readers,
I intend to buy a laser printer. The following brands are available here:

Can anybody, please, advise me which one works particularly well under

Subject: Autoconf
Date: Sun, 11 Apr 1999 19:25:46 -0400
When I installed Linux-2.0.36-0.37 from RH 5.2. I recompiled the kernel
correctly and added a module for the rtl8139 network card. This worked
great.
I recently compiled the 2.2.4 kernel and for me, included SMP support.
Everything seemed to be ok, except in the menuconfig, there was no support
for the rtl8139 network card. I have seen other cards which use this
chipset, but I am uncertain which card to select which will compile this
driver.
I have the latest rtl8139.c driver which came with the 2.2.4 source. I
opened the file and got the instructions on how to compile the driver for a
SMP system. When I run the command, I get the error that the autoconf.h
file is not found. Sure enough, this file is nowhere to be found on the
system, or at least I couldn't find it. I looked in '/usr/include/linux'
and it is not there.
How do I get it? I think I found somewhere on the Internet where I can get
it and un-zip it. Does it matter which version I get. I did install RH 5.2
(2.0.36) originally, but now I am using 2.2.4 which has nothing to do with
Red Hat anymore.
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks.

Hello ,
I am runing Linux 2.2.4 and i use pine to compose mails.
I just can't configure the reply-to address.
I use the account 'user' on my Linux system, and i configured in pine
the domain name 'domain.com'.
And the reply-to address is :
Nickname <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
How do i configure the value 'user' since it is not the same as my linux
login ?
I DIDN'T SEE THIS IN THE CONFIG FILE .PINERC,
AND NO MORE IN THE SETUP MENU
Thank you for helping.

Subject: Re: non-root cant mount

<snip>
The error message I get is: "mount: only root can do that"
Here's the cdrom line from fstab:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0
I've tried setting full "other" permissions on /mnt/cdrom, /dev/cdrom,
and /dev/hdb (my cdrom), but to no avail.
<snip>
What command are you using to mount? If you are trying the full
command syntax (i.e. mount -tiso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom) you can
get this error. Try just "mount /mnt/cdrom" and see what happens.
If that works then the problem is that when you specify a device to
the mount command it does not parse the fstab file, thus not finding
out that you allow normal users to mount the device. There is
probably a more technical reason, but this satisfies my pea brain.

um. the latest samba lets you mount the NT share into the linux filesystem
then move around in it as if it was local.
Works on my machine at work anyway.

I bought the modem labelled "COMM56IUSRO2 US ROBOTICS 56K INT V.90
MODEM" for $77 + S/H + CA tax from ASA Computers:
http://www.ipaje.com/asa/Html/catalog.html
It works great. It's voice/fax/data, and PNP, so you have to use
pnptools + setserial, but after that, no problem-o.
I don't know whether this is a good price or bad, but it works, so I'm
relieved and happy. I was sweating getting stuck with a Winmodem.
HTH,
Bob L.

It should do, but you would have to manually install the mod. It works
for me if I do:
rmmod ip_masq_ftp
insmod ip_masq_ftp ports=20,21,otherport,etc

Subject: External Video on TP 380D w/Linux?
Date: 11 Apr 1999 18:53:50 -0400
I've had a ThinkPad 380D for about half a year now and it's been
happily running various flavors on Linux. I've been using the binary X
Server for the NeoMagic chip set provided by Red Hat software
(XBF-neomagic-glibc-1.1.0-1.i386 to be exact).
I have absolutely no trouble with it. Works great on the built in
screen. The config file that server shipped with worked out of the
box.
But now I want to feed an external video source using the same
resolution (800x600) and color depth (16bps) so that I can project it
on a wall and demo some stuff at meeting. So, as a test, I hooked it
up to my NEC MultiSync XV17. And I couldn't get squat out of it. When
I press the key combination for "activate external video" the NEC's
green light comes on for a second and it then acts as if it is seeing
no signal at all.
After inspecting my XF86Config file, it would appear that I need a
definition for the external video that the NeoMagic server groks.
Any ideas? Anyone done this before successfully?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Subject: Installing glibc 2.1 without losing 2.07?
Reply-To: bcorsello@usa.#NOSPAM.net
Date: 11 Apr 1999 23:21:42 GMT
Does anyone have a procedure for installing glibc 2.1 from binary RPMs without
overwriting glibc 2.07? Purpose being to be able to run the stuff that needs
2.1 without breaking the important stuff (like Staroffice) that requires 2.07.
Trying to do a "rpm -ivh" shows a lot of conflicts between the 2.1 and 2.07
files, so there has to be more to it than that. Any help would be appreciated.
