Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2000 21:18:57 -0500
I have problem making my HP DeskJet printer work.
Here is my printcap
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:
I have the line
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
in my conf.module.
lpq gives the following
waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?)
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
1st root 20 ... 16408 bytes
If I put the line
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
in my conf.modules, then everything(I mean lpq) looks fine, but just
nothing comes out of the printer.
The only problem I can see is when I manually insert module parport_pc,
I get a bunch of unresolved symbol errors.
lsmod gives 'parport_probe, lp and parport'

Can somebody recommend a printer?
My Epson Action Laser 1400 is driving me nuts, because the sheet
feeder constantly pulls in two sheets and jams. I want to replace
it with a new/used printer, but have no idea which one avoids that
problem.
Here are my priorities, in order:
Required:
1. GOOD non-jamming sheet feeder which accepts ordinary paper
2. Runs perfectly under Linux (possibly with some fiddling)
Optional:
3. Color
4. Two-sided printing
5. Cheap
6. Fast
Any recommendations? I'm considering a refurbished Epson Color Stylus
440, because it satisfies #2, #3 and #5; does it satisfy #1? Is there
a printer which satisfies all six conditions?
Thanks in advance,
Len.

I use the 440 and think it satisfies 1 and 6 as well. I've never tried 4
with an inkjet printer -- seems kinda impossible or difficult at best
unless the ink dries *really* fast.

I have a linux box running Redhat 6.0. After a blackout last night, the
linux box wouldn't go into X today.
On boot things seem rather normal, all the system services and modules seem
to load properly. But when it tries to go to the graphical login (I use
KDM) from the basic text login, the screen simply goes black I tried
pressing 'Ctrl + Alt + F1' but I couldn't get back to the text login
prompt...
I have no idea what I can do and what I should do... please help!
Thanks!

For B&W laser: The plain old HP LaserJet 4+ still floats my boat.
I see them all over the place still running fine with page counts
up near a million. Built to last. If you can find a good deal on
a refurbished one they are damn fine. With a PostScript chip and
a decent amount of RAM performance is pretty good too.
For color: My little LexMark Optra 40 Color works great.
Picked it up for $89 for buy.com on their clearance page.
Has REAL PostScript builtin, so on the Linux end no need
to run a gs interpreter just shoot it the PostScript.
I've tried the GhostScript solution and been less than pleased.
Came with 4 megs RAM, but had a SIMM slot that took a
plain old 16 meg EDO SIMM no problems.
Can't say I'm impressed with Epson. Every time I try to
talk to their sales guys about the supposedly available
PostScript options for one of their inkjets, I get nowhere.
A million variations of inkjet printers, and so few with any
PostScript capability or RAM upgrade options. This Optra 40
is really a rare item in that market.

I fear , that this will not work without a complete backup and
reinstallation of W2000.
AFAIK If w2000 is installed on a different partition it will live in a
logical drive of a extended partition. But it's bootloader/bootmanager
will be installed into the primary partition. If you wipe that primary
WIN98 partition , W2000 will lost its bootlooader and will not start
anymore :-( .

Not hard, but RH6.2 reset my pap-secrets file to old data (so couldn't
log in to ISP). And that's a problem not covered in the RH
documentation. Next time around I intend to incrementally upgrade using
rpm rather than the install disc.

You may not need a complete re-installation. Check to following article,
which includes details of restoring the NT boot loader using the setup
disks and an emergency recovery disk. I know it is for NT up to 4.0, but
I assume the software hasn't evolved that much from the boot level.

Hi,
I am having problems when I try to halt my computer. It begins to shut
down and then it starts to spit out what seems to be memory locations.
The only way I can then shut down the computer is if I unplug it from
the wall. I am running Linux version 6.2
I have an emachine 333cs. I think the mother board/processor is an
Cyrix II 250mhz. I have already tried installing earlier releases of
kernels but get the same results. Is there a solution besides going
back into the config file and cutting the auto shutdown off?
Thanks

I just upgraded to a new kernel, but didn't change the
/boot/System.map.
When I loaded my kernel I got the warning message, that the
System.map was for another kernel version.
I could change the System.map manually, but
I didn't find an option in man lilo.conf, or man rdev to instruct the
kernel which file to use as the System.map.
What do I do if I would like to keep two kernels in the same
root filesystem and use lilo to chose?
Do I have to replace the System.map manually before I change from one
kernel to the other?

I wouldn't buy epson, too. I'm not that much impressed by the quality
of their printers... I think HP or lexmark are good choices.

Hi
I am running a 250 mhz Cyrix II processor with 64 megs of RAM. When I
run xmms or gqmpeg and begin to play a mp3 it runs fine. But as soon as
I startup netscape or any other application, it slows the mpeg down or
audible static is heard. I have tried switching the output module from
esound to OSS in xmms, but no avail. I have chosen to give each player
priority, which seems to work a little. Is there a way that I reduce
the amount of processing/ram that these applications use or is there
another way I can optimize my computer to run the fastest? I have
enabled all the stuff I know to make it run faster.
In WINDOZE I didn't have this problem, so I am hoping that it is
something I can fix in Linux.
Thanks

You are not making sense. How can you clear the partition without
messing with it? If you put Linux on it, nothing that was there
will survive.

Does anyone know what is causing this and what the fix would be?
I've tried killing the process and that works for a couple of seconds but
then another find job starts up, not the original which has been

If, as you say, you're trying to send a file from the linux box to the
nt box, then the problem is at the nt end, not the linux end. You
need to make sure that the ftp daemon on the win box is set up
correctly.
However, you may be making a problem for yourself by trying to log in
as root. The win box may not allow logins from "root." I consider
that doubtful, but possible.

the newer Linux kernels have sthg called multiple device support.
This means that the kernel can use two (or more) seperate devices as one
logical device.
(two partitions as one file systems, software raid,...)
I don't know more about this stuff, check the kernel
documentation (help for make config, and other stuff)
that might solve your problem.

Probably a br0ken BIOS. Some BIOSes won't auto-power-off unless they're
called from real mode (!?) and Linux doesn't use real mode for anything
once the kernel's loaded into memory. IIRC, there is a fix for this silly
problem in kernels around 2.2.13 or higher. Try that, or just compile a
kernel without APM support and turn your computer off with the power
switch once it says "System Halted."

This is a periodic cron job. The times are not random; you can find out
exactly what's going on by looking in the /etc/cron* files and directories
or by entering "crontab -e" as root. You can schedule the jobs for more
convenient times, or disable them altogether by doing the appropriate
things. "man 5 crontab" for the crontab file format...

Subject: How can I recover my FAX32 partition?
Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2000 05:30:05 GMT
Hello,
I'm new in installing a Linux. I installed Linux twice on laptop. My
problem is that, after the second installation of Linux I lost my previous
drive D under MSDOS/Win98! I stored important data to drive D under Win98,
so I really hope those data can be restored. Here are some information
about the situation.
-Partitions before the second installation of Linux:
Seq LinuxDevice Cyl-start Cyl-end System
1 /dev/hda1 1 35 -- SaveToDisk (hidden)
2 /dev/hda2 36 293 -- FAT32 (Win98)
3 /dev/hda3 294 309 -- Linux swap
4 /dev/hda4 310 592 -- Extended
5 /dev/hda5 310 407 -- Linux Ext2 (/)
6 /dev/hda6 408 504 -- Linux Ext2 (/home)
7 /dev/hda7 505 587 -- FAT32 (MSDOS logical drive D: )
8 588 592 -- FreeSpace (no display on fdisk/p)
********
Main steps on 2nd installation:
1) I deleted partition No.6 and No.5
2) Re-create partitions No.5 (enlarge size), partion No.6 (decrease size);
but the end cylinder number of partition /dev/hda6 was not changed (504).
3) I created a new Linux partition by using the "free space"(No.8); the
Start and End cylinder numbers used as they were, so not to affect the area
of No.7 partition.
*********
-Partitions after the 2nd installation of Linux:

I am useing linux redhat 6.1 with the gnome in xwindows. When trying to
bring in a website, any site, the pages stall unless I start moving the
mouse. As long as I move the mouse around, pages load just fine. If I stop
moving the mouse the downloading stalls. this is useing Netscape 4.61.
Thanks for asking for the clarification on this question, I hope I
explained this better.

You'll need two phone lines and configure your modem to be on a different
IRQ than the one that's in the machine already. Example, if your current
modem is /dev/ttyS1 then the other one should be /dev/ttyS3. I believe you
can start each one separately.

In my case, switchdesk doesn't seem to remember my last choice. I want Gnome
to be my default, but no matter how many time I switch, it always sends me
to FVWM2 of all things when Iog in as root. It didn't do this when I first
installed
the system, but something has changed.
Any suggestions? Anyone?
