Well, my KVM switch is the same. I assumed it to be the problem with the
switch, because there are problems with my keyboard when I switch around too.
The solution, which I will do later, is to buy a very expensive auto-KVM
switch.

Hallo,
I don't know why you want a new/fater machine for your task, with enough
RAM your K6 450 MHz will easily blow away
your bandwith, you didn't wrote how much you have and what traffic you
expect?
Good luck

Subject: problme with printing from mac to linux via TCP/IP
Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 17:51:22 +0100
I want to use a linuxbox as a printserver for a lan with macs and windows
computers. the linuxbox is only used for spooling the printjobs, so the
clients can be used again for working. printing from linux and winows is no
problem at all. the printerconfiguration is ok and working. now i tried to
setup the printer in the mac. i setp a TCP/IP printer with the ip of the
linuxbox and the printerqueuename (remote) of the printer connected to the
linuxbox.
the printer is an Apple Laserwriter 12/640 (Postscript) with built in
ethernet-interface.
when i try to print a job from the mac (g3dvd) i get the following output in
/var/log/messages:
Jan 4 20:31:27 linux lpd[3918]: job received from g3dvd for printer
'remote'
Jan 4 20:31:29 linux lpd[3918]: remote: Job_match: bad match control

dfA058G3_DVD
Jan 4 20:31:29 linux lpd[3918]: remote: recvfiles: protocol violation
when i use a different printerqueue (lp) it doesn's work, too:
Jan 4 20:32:35 linux lpd[3922]: job received from g3dvd for printer 'lp'
Jan 4 20:32:36 linux lpd[3922]: lp: Job_match: bad match control 'cfA141G3

dfA141G3_DVD
Jan 4 20:32:36 linux lpd[3922]: lp: recvfiles: protocol violation
What does that message mean? how can i solve the problem? what's wrong?
I also tried to setup the printserver papd in netatalk, but there is an
other problem with it. printing via TCP/IP is my preferred solution, because
AppleTalk is so slow.
thanks for your help!

Thanks for the reply. I have a minor work around for it. I moved the Win98
box to the second port on the KVM and the Linux to the first now when I
return to linux I must turn the KVM off and back on and then the mouse
starts to work again.

When the kernel compile comes to an error it bombs out with an error and
exits - so if it didn't, everything is probably ok.

You did do a 'make modules_install'? Or do you use modules at all?

I had the same problem - I think it was 2.4.0-test12 too. The final 2.4.0
works fine for me now except for an excessive syslogd start time.

What about trying a PowerPC (Or what Mac architecture, you are
using) based distribution? I would assume it to give far less trouble -
and much better performance.

Thats a build time option for the kernel, and I would think any i386
kernel would already have it enabled.
IIRC there is a line in the dmesg output about it.

This might be a symptom of too big a kernel, it happened to me on the
first build, it seems 2.4.0 is going to be about 150-200k bigger. With
the same options that build a 2.2.18 bzImage of 647k, it bult an 860+k
bzImage. I modularized a bunch of stuff and got it down into the 730k
area, at which point it boots. Badly crippled though, so I'm back to
2.2.18 where I have a working ppp and such.

That's a common misconception. AppleTalk, though a chatty protocol and
inferior for large file transfers, is actually a superior printing
solution because Apple's PAP (Printer Access Protocol) is superior to
LPR in a few ways.
For example, LPR does not have any way to identify what fonts are
already in the printer's memory from a previous job-- so it sends any
non-standard fonts again. Since a font is much larger than a typical
print job, that's a huge disadvantage. PAP allows the printer to tell
the computer whether it needs to send a font. PAP also includes some
convenience features like notification of paper status during printing.

Need help with a new assignment. Company wants to distribute systems
(kiosk-like) to about 10,000 locations throughout the US. These
systems would include a printer as well as the CPU and monitor. The
systems would allow semi-captive audience customers to retrieve static
pages as well as video/audio stored locally (application is therefore
a fat client) of content pertinent to the customer interest (via a
nice easy to use menu). (Probably similar to systems available at
many public libraries but specific content would also be different
from libraries). In addition we want the kiosks to allow customers to
retrieve content not stored locally via the Internet. So the kiosks
need a (probably broadband?) connection to the net.
What issues should we expect to encounter?? What solutions exist to
those issues??
1. Permission for the placement of the kiosk is not a problem nor is
physical security at the sites.
2. What about electronic security??
3. Generation of pertinent content is not a problem but surely there
are issues surrounding delivery of said content (i.e. update of 10,000
remote locations)?? Content might change each week. What are
practical alternatives??
4. What are the communications issues?? How to solve them??
5. What are the hardware failure issues?? How to solve them??
6. What are the application software upgrade issues?? How to solve
them??
7. Hardware is intel based. Would Linux or NT/W2000 be the better
operating system for this kind of application??
8. If the operating system has a problem, how do we fix and reboot??
9. Since most of the content is static there does not seem to be a big
need for a big DB (at least for content). However, we do want to
capture customer demographics and store them in a DB at a central
host. Which DB?? And do all 10,000 kiosks "phone home" each night to
deliver data or does the host initiate a contact to each remote
station each night to pull data??
Other issues??

Agreed. Generally, if there is an Appletalk-protocol printer available for
network printing from a Mac, it is far better to allow the Mac to print
directly to the printer using Appletalk for all the reasons noted above.
A few years back there was a review of laser printers in one of the computer
magazines, comparing PPM speeds of the reviewed printers by (1) PCL over
ethernet from a PC, (2) Postscript over ethernet from a PC, and (3)
Postscript sent by Appletalk over ethernet. The speed difference between (2)
and (3) ranged from 0-1 PPM (Appletalk slower). The greatest speed
difference was usually between (1) and (2), usually from 1-2 PPM. The bottom
line is that unless you are doing high-volume printing, losing the benefits
of printing over Appletalk is probably not worth the performance increase by
going to TCP/IP.

Hello people. I am using Mandrake Linux 7.2 on a quad boot system. I
have everything working- I have sound without manually loading drivers
every time I boot and my Voodoo2 works in Quake2. I loaded the sound
drivers for my Cyrstal 4235 ISA sound card(AopenAW37) and set the
alsamixer settings in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
I tacked onto the end something like:
modprobe snd-card-cs4236
modprobe snd-pcm
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
modprobe snd-mixer
modprobe snd-mixer-oss
amixer set Master unmute
amixer set Master 100 100
etc...
What is a more Elegant and Proper way? Should they go into
/etc/modules.conf? What is the syntax for doing it that way? I tried
it before and id did not work that way.
Please be kind to a non-shell programmer:)

IRQ or io conflict.
Take out all your cards except graphics, and possibly take out all
disks except the install disk and the cdrom. Make sure cdrom is
JUMPERED as slave and move both to the primary controller if possible.
Make sure usb is diabled in bios. Make sure you do not assign an IRQ to
the video card in bios. Try and keep IRQ 12 clear if you have PS/2
stuff.

I'm running Mandrake 7.1 and am trying to get my Palm IIIxe to talk to
linux. It talks to Windows on the PC just fine. I've installed
pilot-link and just can't get it to recognize the Palm cradle. I've
tried setting the uart for the port by hand. I haven't tried recompiling
the kernel yet, but I checked the serial settings and they seem pretty
open. There certainly isn't anything that's clearly Palm-specific,
though.
One thing that confuses me a little is this: I have an internal PCI
modem which shows up as COM5 under Windows 98 but works as /dev/ttyS0
under linux on the same machine. I only know enough about Windows to
get things like my scanner and Fallout 2 to work. The Palm cradle shows
up as COM1 under Windows. As I understood it, COM1 usually corresponds
to ttyS0, COM2 to ttyS1, etc. Could that be part of the problem?

Or even someone like me who has a little more experience.

Hi. I am using Mandrake 7.2 with a Crystal 4235 ISA sound card. You
need to install and use the ALSA(Advanced Linux Sound Architecture)
drivers, more than likely. Find out what chip your board actually uses,
either by looking at the mainboard itself, in the manual, or on the
manufacturer's
website. Then look in the documentation files that come with the ALSA
package, or look in the /usr/lib/YOURKERNELVERSION/modules/alsa to find
a driver that has the name of your sound card. The key is to use the
ALSA drivers. Hope this helps.

It would require repartitioning, and reinstalling, but you could add a
small partition to
put the kernel and boot files on, like /dev/hda5 or some such could be
50 MB or so, and you would tell the install program to mount it at
/boot, then install LILO or whatever in THAT partition. You still have
to have a multi booter in the MBR... I use
Partition/System Commander, with a quad boot system, works great :)
Hope this helps
