multifunction device support? HP LaserJet 3100
My dad just bought one of those new-fangled multi-function devices, for faxing, copying, scanning (in a limited sense I guess, not a flatbed color scanner), and printing. It's an HP LaserJet 3100. I checked the manufacture date: Apr 8, 1998, so it's pretty damn new. Of course everything will be fine and dandy in Windows, but I never boot into Windows anymore, nor do I want to. We have a little 3-node LAN set up here on coax with ancient SMC 8013 cards that works for us so far. My dad used to have a Canon BJC-4000, and I used to print to it using the bjc-600 magicfilter filter (slightly tweaked to 600 dpi, I think). I was wondering... does anyone know what filter this new device is best suited for? Should I use the ghostscript laserjet driver, ljetplus, ljet3, 4, or what? As far as I can tell it ain't a postscript printer... so I'm hesitant to select any of the ones I listed.

Re: multifunction device support? HP LaserJet 3100
I looked at one of those too and as far as I could figure out it's a winprinter. It supposedly has the HP6L print hardware, but it doesn't support PCL or postscript. I think all the intelligence was moved to the windows driver. There is a web page about a group trying to get linux to support the OfficeJet series. I don't know if they're considering this product or not. I think the OfficeJet products come from a different division and are ink jet printers, while the 3100 is a laser printer. Since the products were developed by different groups, the driver might not be similar.

Help: green smail and hamm
Just got a new computer and decided to do a new (not an upgrade) install of hamm(frozen) by using dselect with ftp. So far I have gotten all the Standard files and everything went smoothly with the following exceptions: 1. the smail and lynx files on the ftp server were different than those in the Packages file. I installed these using dpkg later. 2. I had to run deselct several times to get tex to install. Have not fully tested it yet but seems OK. current status: 1: dselect now runs without any packages showing dependancy problems or any errors. 2: I can connect to my isp, use lynx, ftp etc. I can ping localhost, talk between users (using vt's, it's a stand alone system). MY PROBLEM: I can't get (s)mail to work, even locally. The smail error files show me it can't even find root. I have tried almost every possible option using smailconfig --force, but still no luck. perhaps there are some packages required that I don't have yet? What I would like my machine to do: It is a stand alone machine with a modem connection to the internet. It is used by four people that use local mail to pass messages to each other. I have 1 mailbox with my ISP but several aliases for that mailbox (one for each user). I would like to have - local mail sent immediately - if connected have internet mail sent immediately - if offline queue the internet bound mesages and send them when anyone initiates an internet connection. - when an internet connection is made by anyone get any mail from my ISP's pop3 server and sort and deliver the mail locally according to their aliases (each user should only be able to read his own mail, obviously). - these users use several different mail programs (including netscape) to read their mail, probably not a problem? additional questions: to which group should I add a user to allow them to initiate a ppp dialup connection (pon), or failing this what's the safest way to accomplish this. If a user terminates the ppp connection during the uploading or downloading of mail will it cause problems and if so how can I avoid them.

Do I have to remake the kernel or something? Please help. I am totally at a loss as to what I should be doing? You do have to enable the parrallel ports, as well as the serial ports in the kernel. You could test this with a command line call, that should enable the port. See the LILO docs for the proper method for your distribution. Did you try cat filename /dev/lp? ? if your lpd is not set up correctly, this could also be your trouble. How bout your print filter? Is your /etc/printcap correct?

Re: auctex not happening
.emacs file. I believe this qualifies as a Debian bug (for the auctex package?). AFAIK it is not. AUCTeX is separate package for Emacs, and there is native(?) tex-mode in Emacs. In other words, if someone wants to use AuCTeX, she/he should put require tex-site in .emacs. The fact that someone is installing AUCTeX would suggest to me that they probably want require tex-site in their .emacs. So either this should be done automatically, or probably even better, the configure script should prompt the user, asking them if they want this done. The thing that annoyed me is that AUCTeX was working on my bo system, but after upgrading it stopped working. So either upgrading AUCTeX or upgrading emacs changed require tex-site so that it was commented out in my .emacs script.

Re: XFree86 + Netscape
I am presently attempting to install both XFree86 and Netscape to a Debian O/S which I recently setup. My lack of knowledge in this area leaves me with a huge amount of questions, as you can see below. Are you using dselect to install your debian system? It should tell you automatically what debian packages you need to install. In dselect, if you select netscape and you haven't installed packages like xbase, then it will tell you that you have a dependency problem to correct, and tell you what packages you need to install to correct this problem.

Hallo, I have used slrn and slrnpull to read 4 newsgroups (comp.lang.python.announce, comp.lang.python, comp.os.linux announce, comp.os.linux.answers) for a few months and then it just happened that no new articles were collected anymore for the last two or three weeks. Even when I run slrnpull manually while my connection to the ISP is active, everything seems OK as far as the connection to the news server is concerned. The message in the case of each of the newsgroups is just that there are no new articles. I enquired about this at my ISP and the answer was that they are not aware of a problem.

Now i'm getting 2Gig disk, but the question is - how to copy the system from old seagate to the new disk (or to the new disk partition). I don't want to reinstall/reconfigure everything... Is there Debian way/package for such things? If you can have both disks installed, make the partition on the new disk (`fdisk /dev/hdc' or whatever); make the filesystem (mkfs) Then mount the new disk: # mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt [make appropriate substitutions for hdc1] then copy the root file system (excluding /mnt) # mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt # find / -xdev | cpio -pdm /mnt If you are using lilo, you should probably run /sbin/lilo and tell it to write a boot sector on the new disk. Now you can shutdown and replace the old disk with the new one, and it ought to work. An alternative: With so large a disk, you may want to make separate partitions for root, /var, /usr and /home, or some combination; this means that a disaster to one partition won't affect the others. Suppose that you want to fill a new /usr partition which is on /dev/hdc1: mount the new partition on /mnt: # mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt # cd / # cp -a usr /mnt [cp -a is an alternative to the find|cpio I used above; find|cpio should work on any Unix, whereas cp -a may not.] # umount /mnt Do the same for the other partitions; the trickiest is root itself, since you must exclude the directories that go to other partitions. I think that `cp -a' and `find / -xdev' do that, but it needs checking. (If you are going to keep the old disk in your machine, there's no need to move root - just delete the contents of the directories that you have copied and mount the new partitions on them. That will leave root on the old disk, with more space, and everything else on the new one.) Edit new-root_partition/etc/fstab to list the partitions and say which ones are to be mounted automatically; shutdown and reboot. -- Oliver Elphick[EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

Hamm upgrade to Slink
Now that hamm has been frozen I'm starting to miss the routine of playing with new packages on my home system. :-) So I was playing with the idea of upgrading to slink and running that. Unlike the upgrade from bo to hamm, I can find no docs/readme's on a hamm to slink upgrade. Can someone who is running slink fill me in on a couple of things? First, how buggy is slink? I'll be upgrading a home system so it's not like it's a critical box, but I'm not the most experienced Linuxer and was curious about this. Secondly, what's involved with the exact hamm to slink upgrade? Is there any dramatic library upgrades? Is it just a matter of dpkg'ing the new slink packages?

RE: Hamm upgrade to Slink
Thus far I have simply installed any slink packages that were not available for my hamm system (tya, karpski, xteddy, libc6-dev etc), and everything has worked fine. Does anyone know otherwise? Timothy On 10-Jun-98 Randy Edwards wrote: Now that hamm has been frozen I'm starting to miss the routine of playing with new packages on my home system. :-) So I was playing with the idea of upgrading to slink and running that. Unlike the upgrade from bo to hamm, I can find no docs/readme's on a hamm to slink upgrade. Can someone who is running slink fill me in on a couple of things? First, how buggy is slink? I'll be upgrading a home system so it's not like it's a critical box, but I'm not the most experienced Linuxer and was curious about this. Secondly, what's involved with the exact hamm to slink upgrade? Is there any dramatic library upgrades? Is it just a matter of dpkg'ing the new slink packages?

Re: Weird problem: normal user can't run bash in login

As always, take the error message. In 99% of case the error
message accurately reflects the problem.
The error message is cannot execute /bin/bash.
You said you checked the permissions on /bin and on /bin/bash.
Did you also check the permissions on / ? That often happens
on newly-installed systems; it's caused by inconsiderate
decompression of inconsiderate tarfiles in /tmp. On all dynamic
libraries linked to bash and their parent directories ? While
you're at it (should not be this), also check /tmp and ~ed.
If it was somewhere else than in /bin. I'd also say to check
noexec mount option to the filesystem, but I think you'd have
had problems before that :-)
If this fails, try su-ing to ed, maybe that will bring up
additional data.
I tried the things you mentioned. su'ing to ed resulted in identical
error
message (Permission denied), but no additional error messages. I mounted
root under other dir but nothing wrong with permissions. I finally solved
the problem with the brute force method: a clean reinstall with deb 2.0. I
copied all important stuff to other partition, so reinstall wasn't to
painful. Still, I wish I knew enough to figure out that problem.
Thanks for your help anyway.

Thanks a lot Scott. Now it's much clearer.

What's the difference between hamm (frozen) and slink? Slink will eventually become Debian 2.1. It contains those packages which either aren't ready for prime time yet, or which contain additional features past the freeze date of Debian 2.0. 2. Where is the xload package in hamm (frozen)? Several weeks before I could find it but when I selected, it gave me some kind of dependency error. And I can't even find it in my newly updated package list (in dselect). xload is now included in the xcontrib package (moved out of xproc). 3. I've read discussions about Stampede Linux on Slashdot the other day, and somebody metioned about apt in debian. I can't find it in hamm (frozen) which is within my expectation. I know it won't be out until 2.1, but since somebody already used it, so I think it must be somewhere... Apt is Debian's next-generation frontend to dpkg. While the GUI version of it isn't yet working, the command-line interface and the dselect method are both reasonably polished. Many people feel that using apt as a method for dselect is far superior to the other options. You should be able to find the latest apt package compiled for hamm in the project/experimental directory of your favorite mirror.

[Hamm Install] Dselect/ftp, what is this error message ?
I'm installing a new Debian 2.0 on my PC using the ftp method to download it from ftp.mi.us.debian.org.

So why does the download restarts at byte 1641064 as the second line seems to indicate ? Then it failed again and I had: FTP ERROR Do you want to retry downloading at once [y]: continue file: dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/interpreters/perl_5.004.04-6.deb (at 2242560) [y]: [...] getting: dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/interpreters/perl_5.004.04-6.deb (883324/3125884) Did it restart from scratch ?

support for NEC SuperScript 660plus?
My dad returend the HP LaserJet 3100 multifunction devices, and got a NEC SuperScript 660plus. Of course everything will be fine and dandy in Windows, but I never boot into Windows anymore, nor do I want to. We have a little 3-node LAN set up here on coax with ancient SMC 8013 cards that works for us so far. My dad used to have a Canon BJC-4000, and I used to print to it using the bjc-600 magicfilter filter (slightly tweaked to 600 dpi, I think). My main fear is that this is a part of that appalling new trend to manufacture hardware that is incompatible with anything but Windows because the company only releases industry non-standard Win95 drivers for it, and won't release specs. Worse, it could be one of those printers that require CPUsage on the Window$ client machine. Can anyone tell me if this is true? If not, I was wondering... does anyone know what filter this new device is best suited for? Should I use the ghostscript laserjet driver, ljetplus, ljet3, 4, or what?
