Has anyone stepped before in this kind of a problem?
I have linux 2.2.16-22 in a compaq armada 4131T and when I use "play" to
play the sndconfig sound sample everything works just fine and I hear Linus
explainig the prononciation of linux in normal speed.
But when I try to play an mp3 with freshly installed mpg123-0.59r the sound
comes out with wrong speed like the sound samples were played in half the
speed.
Could this be in the libraries, kernel, hardware or what?
thnx

Tanks a million to all,
I found the problem and it was:
I first was login in to my user account and then "su" to "root".
Solution: To be able to do what I needed to do( basically configurations
such us: turbonetcfg) I need to signup as root directly from the login
promt.

The subject really says it all.
As root I can do a 'ps ax' and get all processes.
As a non-root user I do a 'ps ax' and get only my processes.
If I chmod 4755 (or 6755) /bin/ps, root still works but non-root shows this
error message:
This /bin/ps is not secure for setuid operation.
Any help you can give will be appreciated...

Yes, because you're running the lp driver as a module, so you won't see
anything in /proc relating to it until the modules is loaded by the

Printing plain text this way can be dodgy on Postscript printers. So I
imagine that InkJet printers are no different in this respect. Mostlikely
you have the printcap entries set wrongly. The Win98 boxen are set to
print to this type of printer, so they send output suitable for it. The
linux boxen probably are not, and just send raw input.
Send us the /etc/printcap of the print server, and a client. Aditionally,
Redhat has a tool call printtool (GUI) that does a fairly good job of
setting up a printer. You might like to upgrade from lpd to CUPS, which
is probably a better choice for inkjets, since drivers are constantly
being made.

How about
send the file to the printer
echo -e "\f" > /dev/lp0
This will send a form feed (eject) to the printer, which should make it
print the page.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have installed Mandrake 7.1 on a pc at work. I intend to use it as
a cache/router.
When I first set it up I only had 1 ethernet card on the machine and
this set up fine - talked to the lan and to the router on our system.
My next step was to add a 2nd ethernet card. I installed the card and
it seems to be working ok - using this card I can browse my lan and
contact my router - but the first card won't do this any more
I must have done something daft or left something out - could someone
either suggest a solution or point me at a howto/faq somewhere? I
have looked at the howto at the linux doc project for ethernet but
this hasn't solved the problem - the hardware is recognised ok. I
think I've done somethingto the routing but I can't see what.

and then you look at physical systems and their behavior and somehow
they match certain mathematics, or their behavior stimulates the
development of mathematics. i find it surprising and fascinating that
nature follows some rather simple mathematical rules. for example,
out of all the possible functions out there, why do continuous ones
work so often?

Back in the days of the DEC PDP-6 we ran a TIME SHARING operating
system in 4K words of memory. Now some horrendous amount of bytes are
required to run an operating system such as LINUX which does not seem
to provide any more intelligence than the old PDP-6 operating system.
Doesn't seem to show any degree of cleverness to my way of thinking.
In those days all operating systems were written in assembly

This question is way too vague to give a solid answer. In fact I
suspect it might not be the question required to provoke answers that
solve the root problem.
If you post more details, someone can probably help.

Hello all--
I have several vfat partitions (i.e., FAT32) mounted as //mnt/drivec,
and //mnt/drived. These come up just fine (they're in fstab).
However, they're accessible for writing only by root. I've tried
changing the mode to allow all users to read-write, but that doesn't
seem to work.
I've also played around some with the DOS options (that you see in the
LinuxConf settings for accessing local drives in RH7), but anything I do
there seems to render the partition almost unaccessible across the
board.
Could someone point me in the right direction for finding out how to
deal with this? I looked through the HOWTOs and I didn't find anything
that seemed specific to this kind of a problem--although perhaps the
information is somewhere in there, and I overlooked it.
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

depends on your compiler and on the options passed on to the compiler.
Try
man gcc
if you use gcc or substitute whatever copiler you're using for gcc
Usually it's /usr/include and $LIBDIR/include
$LIBDIR can be specified in your ~/.bashrc

Chances are you don't have an ftp server running on the Windows
machine. Windows does not include an ftp server, so you'll need
to hunt down a third-party ftp server and install it.

I was able to compile gimp-print to work with Gimp v1.0.4. You

Unless you use VMware, but that's probably overkill for a decoy.
I like the idea of using an MS backdrop. You could probably
capture a screen dump of a Windows desktop with the Start bar
thingie and a couple appropriate-looking applications on screen
and use that as your linux backdrop. Iconify your apps when the
wrong people are in the neighborhood (or use a window manager
with Windows-like controls). That's probably close enough to
fool the kind of people who are overly concerned about such
things.

There was an article about ssh in the January edition of Gazette:

perhaps that helps?
