I can't remember if it listens to anything other than localhost by default, you may need to change the cupsd configuration file to allow connections from other machines. Check with netstat. If you have Windows machines in your network, then Samba is probably the best way to share the printer. Since I do that, I can't comment on the direct use of Cups over the network. My workstation has cupsd listening on all interfaces UDP, but only localhost TCP. I would assume that is the default, since there's never been a printer attached to this machine. With Windows Vista/7, it's pretty straightforward to add the CUPS URL for the printer directly as a networked printer. It should also work under XP, but it's been a while since I've had to deal with XP and networked printers. Samba would basically make the printer show up on browse. It's as simple as setting up a network printer under Vista/7 and entering "http://machine>:631/printers/print_queue_name" as the printer destination. --Joseph Lenox -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Manually creating a Debian boot sector Or a bootable Debian disk in Solaris for x86

Thanks AE I've done some work with Solaris 10, trying to get rid of it for most of my workstations. I was unaware there was even a solaris 8 x86 install (I'd change the Solaris install to 10 as a matter of principle -- ZFS is that good). Use the "format" command in Solaris to change the partition layout. You should be able to resize without much issue. There is a manpage for it. You'll also need to set the partition you create as bootable. As for the rest of it, you should probably install GRUB onto the second HDD, and chainload into Solaris (if you can do that in BIOS), as GRUB wasn't used in Solaris 8 x86 (started getting used in 10 1/06). I'd probably tarball a working Debian system's files and extract it into the secondary partition (created above... make sure support for whatever FS you format it to is compiled-in), then configure a custom-compiled GRUB to boot it. You'll have to do that by hand (see linuxfromscratch.org for some help). But seriously, if you can go to Solaris 10, do so. S10 x86 is a heck of a lot easier to deal with, as it includes GRUB as its boot method. If you can grok Solaris 8 x86's bootloader config and get it to boot Linux, good luck. --Joseph Lenox

I had to get into the box with the disc recovery option, and remove the driver from its modprobe list in /etc just to get to a text console. Mmmm, there must be an easy way to disable KMS and load "nv" driver without the needing of uninstalling "nuvó" packages. I dunno, just asking because I'm also interested in how could this be done. Boot with nouveau.modeset=0 parameter or create a file in /etc/modprobe.d that blacklists the nouveau module (see modprobe.conf(5) for details). Create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf or modify the existing one to use the nv driver: --8<---cut here---start->8--- Section "Device" Identifier "n" Driver "nv" EndSection --8<---cut here---end--->8--- Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Note about 6.0 installer, Nouveau, and Quadro NVS240
The version of Nouveau (FOSS nvidia driver) that ships with 6.0 (Squeeze) on last week's (2010-10-17) testing disc does not play nice with the Quadro NVS240 graphics card. No output on screen at all even for a console (monitor goes to power saving mode). I had to get into the box with the disc recovery option, and remove the driver from its modprobe list in /etc just to get to a text console. --Joseph Lenox -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Running GNOME with 128 MB RAM - Painfully slow?
On 4/4/2010 11:17 PM, Stan Hoeppner wrote: You can try adding swap but I doubt it will help much as the disk is so old and slow. Adding another 128MB or 256MB of memory would probably help the most with that system, but given that it has a sub 200MHz 486 class processor, you really need a more modern system if you want decent GUI performance with modern GUI apps like FireFox, ThunderBird, Opera, etc. I haven't tried running a full Linux GUI desktop on really old x86 hardware, but my gut instinct tells me you'd really need at _minimum_ a 200-300Mhz P6 class machine (anything Pentium Pro or later but no cacheless Celerons) with at least 256MB RAM, preferably 384MB or more. A 200MHz Pentium Pro has about 4 times the integer throughput and 6 times the floating point throughput of a 133MHz 486 clone such as the AMD, Cyrix, or TI chips. And a 200MHz PPro isn't going to be super responsive with a modern Linux GUI desktop either, though it wouldn't be as frustrating as your 486 class system. If you can, get a newer system. If that's not a possibility, try to get more memory for this one. Oh, and with only 128MB and no swap, I'd definitely add some swap, at least 256MB, just to stave off the OOM killer. You can find P3 boxes really, really cheap (basically what it costs to ship) these days; and the RAM for those isn't an arm+leg yet. Depending on the board, you may still find ISA slots (if that's something you must have). --Joseph Lenox -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

NIS user member of plugdev, gnome-mount of flash drive raises error
I'm running lenny (5.0.4); and trying to get USB flash drive mounting in a way that doesn't involve hand-adding every user to the plugdev group (we're running NIS). I tried the pam_group approach, and id says the user is in the plugdev group, but I'm still getting a permissions error from DBus. Adding the exact user to the plugdev group on the local machine worked as far as the mounter. -- "Nothing unreal exists." - Kiri-kin-tha's First Law of Metaphysics.
