Subject: Add Compaq LJ700 printer and what quality
Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 15:20:27 -0500
I have a question or two. I want to setup a linux box to serve a few
computers for home use. I want to know what would the quality of printing
be if I would let my Linux box server as a print server to a Compaq LJ700
Color Printer. Right now I have it shared off of my NT box.
I know I could just put some sort of box and have all the computers
connected with parallel cables, but I know that is overkill. I also have an
HP DeskJet 520 (black & white) and I know the quality is of no consiquence
since I use it only for printing B/W and text documents.
P.S. Could someone point me to someone or document that isn't so
technically inclined so I get this box up as a proxy server so my wife and I
can both use the internet at the same time.
About me: I know a lot of linux and know what I need to know along the
way. I have had much success in areas of dhcp, dns, web server, ftp
service, Window Manager configuration, kernal upgrades and such, but this is
a major step for me.
About my network: 2 laptops (1 is NT, 2nd is Win98) (mine)
1 Win98 (wife's)
1 NT Server/Linux (mine)
1 Linux (PPro 200 MMX, 128 RAM, 4 GB HD)
(mine also)
*All are connected with Network cards and cabled to a Hub running TCP/IP.
DO I HAVE A LOT OF PCs TO MYSELF OR WHAT?!?

Hi,
I am in need of a scanner and found an inexpensive one: Visioneed 6100B
Color Scanner. It is available at the local Office Depot for US$60
(after the rebate). The question is if this scanner will work under
Linux OS.
Can anyone please respond?

Hi, sorry, can't be of any help on the utility itself, but you might be
more successful if you want to change the subject to be a bit more
specific about your problems, such "Understanding IrdaDump output", and
also posting to a more relevant group such as c.o.l.hardware.

Most of the times people complain of a kernel over 1 MB, it turns out they're
talking about the uncompressed object file, not the bootimage.
Don't try to install vmlinux in LILO.
>make bzImage
In other words, the file you want to install in LILO is produced as
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
and you should copy it to the BIOS-accessible directory where you will
map it with /sbin/lilo.

LXNY will next meet on Tuesday 3 August 1999 in the IBM building

This meeting is free and open to the public.
The meeting starts at 6:30 pm and runs until 9:00 pm. Enter the building

for the room number.
At exactly 9:00 pm many members will repair to our traditional place of
refreshment, Kaplan's Delicatessen on 59th Street, between Madison and
Park.
PGP is the standard for securing Internet Email. GNU Privacy Guard is the

Same problem i had with slackware 4.0.... took me forever to figure
out. you must do the following (as root)
rmmod lp (put this back in later if you need it)
insmod parport
insmod parport_pc (undocumented as far as i can see)
insmod ppa (try imm if you have a newer one)
mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip (assuming /mnt/zip exists)
i spose modprobe will work as well as insmod *shrug*
iomega puts a vfat fs on all of their disks to help ppl who don't know
how to format it, but they put it on partition 4 for some reason. feel
free to partition it however you want (just make sure you fdisk the zip
drive and not your hard drive:-p)

Subject: Booting w/o root pass
Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 22:43:36 -0700
Hi !
Hmmz, I'm having _some_ trouble booting, when I lost my root pass :(
So what I did, was asking around, how I could work around the problem, since
I have "fysical access" to my computer..
(I used SuSE 6.0 at the time..)
I got several tips.. (at LILO BOOT (and my linux-partition was named
"linux"))
Linux S
Linux Single
Linux 1
then I should go straight to the console, without being asked for the root
pass to logon.. But I didn't, I'd still have to know that.. So I
re-installed, but this time I installed RedHat 6.0... And I thought; "let's
try those boot-options again"
Well, the linux S/Single didn't work, but the linux 1 worked, so that I had
access for doing a 'passwd' then init 3 or reboot...
I used the Linux kernel on both, so why didn't it work on my SuSE distr.,
and how can I work around it with SuSE?

Maybe you should try this: http://www.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/support.html
get lm_sensors and install module for the w83782d chipset..
then you can run "sensors" from command line, or download wmlm for a X
monitoring util that reads lm_sensors info..
Enjoy!

I had the same problem with a Banshee card (3dfx). I am afraid there is
no hope for us with SVGATextMode. This is what the author says:
[QUOTE]
As of version 1.9, I (Koen gadeyne) will no longer continue development
or
support of the SVGATextMode package (perhaps barring important bug
fixes).
Unless someone takes over, this means SVGATextMode is, well... "dead".
Reasons for this decision are:
* reduced interest in SVGATextMode, as hardware is getting so fast and
memory so abundant that running Xwindows all of the time is no longer
a
problem. Older machines not comfortable with X are generally supported
by
STM.
* Linux 2.2 (and newer versions) contain kernel support for graphical
textmodes (vesafb). Although it uses a totally different approach than
STM, it can replace most of its functionality.
* it is getting more and more difficult to get suitable documentation
from
VGA chip makers, especially for a niche product as SVGATextMode. Even
the
XFree86 people are running into this obstacle every day. It is
impossible
to write an SVGATextMode driver without those docs.
* It is also extremely difficult to write a good driver for hardware I
don't
have. I obviously don't want to buy every new VGA card, and donations
are
extremely rare (I count ONE in the four years of STM's existence).
* most recent VGA cards are very louzy textmode performers. Actually all
the
ones I could check are bad. This is due to the use of synchronous
memories, as explained in the FAQ. This means an STM driver is less
and
less attractive compared to a graphical solution like the linux
VESAFB.
Modern VGA controllers are much more difficult to set up. More work
for
less results? Hmm...
* GGI, if it ever matures, will also be able to replace STM, and it will
actually be much less of a risk in terms of screwing up your text
console...
* ... and some less technical reasons :-)

OK: reduce pollution by getting rid of that coal, and freeze to death

How about that? After all, it is good for the larger economy.

Shrug. Asking GDP to show that is like asking stats of crude oil
production to show happiness of the people. Do you blame meteorogical
devices for not showing people's mood? There also is National
Nominal Income factor, how about that? There are dozens of
coefficients.
If you mean _economy et large_ not taking many factors into account,
then you talk rubbish. Enter Amartya Sen, who received Nobel
prize for methods of introducing factors like longevity, education and
environmental pollution into economical analysis.

Have you tried LICQ? It comes with support for file transfers.

for this particular thing, the actualy kernel has nothing to do with it
(well..). it is determined by your startup scripts. try editing rc.S
or rc.1 in the /etc, /etc/rc.d or /etc/rc.boot directory...also might
have something to do with what init version you are using
the way i would get around it (if the LILO options don't work) would be
to boot off of a floppy. one might use the instilation boot/root
floppies, or there is an excellent root-boot floppy available called
tomsrtbt http://www.toms.net/rb . this includes many tools such as (i
think) passwd, or if all else fails edit the /etc/shadow (if you have
one, if not use /etc/passwd) and simply take out the root password then
reboot off of hd and hit enter for the password of root. if you are
connected to a network, reboot in single-user (using methods above) so
no one logs on while you are fixing it
the third method is to install a backdoor -- not very secure for
somewhat obvious reasons
the only problem with the second suggestion (floppies) is that if you
can't get it to recognise whatever your root partition is on (ie you
can't get the scsi hardrive to be recognised) then you have to hope
there is someone else with your hardrive that has a disk that works.
its not a bad idea to have a boot floppy around anyhow in case someone
breaks into your system and changes root passwd AND startup scripts,
your root partition becomes so corrupted it can't find fsck, to replace
libc.so, etc. tomsrtbt is also customizable if you follow the
directions so passwd, certain controllers etc can added even if they are
not included with the current distro.

trn can post to:
when, at the end of an article, it says "What next? [...]" just type
F - post a Follow up and include the article
f - post a clean Follow up
R - reply via email and include the article
r - reply via email with no quotation
reading through multiple pages of odd commands after hitting h can be
difficult, i know
