Re: network scanner not detected
Hi Pierre, if You using a HP You have to connect the scanner, first time You need to connect via usb calbe, however, after the scanner is recognized You can remove the cable and the scanner is also usable over network... This works for me, maybe for You too?. best regards, Peter Am 06.05.2016 um 12:45 schrieb Pierre Frenkiel: hi, I have an HP Officejet Pro 6830, connected to my local ethernet network, and the scanner works perfectly on my Jessie desktop.

Re: Please tipps for Desktop ( gnome, kde, xfce, etc. ) Debian 8 jessie and some minor issues
Hi Sven,
You are right, normally I prefer fair companies.
That is the "main-thing" I leave apple-computers and
go back to Debian.
I switched in 2009 to apple, because I needed some
music software and some easy to handle Web-Design-Tool.
Now, after I installed Debian for my women and looked what happened
new in Debian I found, all software I needed except "band-in-abox"
is available under Debian.
That was, for me, so great i update all my computers to Debian.
powerbook ( 2004 ) make some minor problems, all other ( iMac 2010 and
Intel-PC ) works fine "out of the box"...
Is Samsung good for Debian ( jessie, stable ) ?
Thanks for advice,
best regards, Peter

The system "Debian/GNU 8 ( jessie )" is installed on /dev/sdb but we needed the windows on /dav/sda, however... no the /dev/sda hd has been corrupt and has to be replaced.

Funktion ist:
$mp3_infostr=get_mp3info($mp3_file);

the From address, but not the From: address.
Is there a way to change the From address also? Here is the script I
use (stolen from LG#43):
#!/usr/bin/perl
$address = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
while () {
if (/^From /) { s/.*/$address/; print; last; }
# I added the above to see if it would change the address, but
# it doesn't
if (/^From: /) { s/.*/$address/; print; last; }
print; }
while () { print; }
Is changing the From possible/allowed?
Yes, but not that way. The From address is not part of the body
of the mail message like most headers; it is an *envelope address*,
and is intended mainly for use by MTAs. You can ask Exim to
re-write envelope and other headers for you, in /etc/exim.conf;
for instance, I use
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffr
to replace my local, non-routable domain with an MX'd mail name
in envelope From headers and in From: and Reply-to headers.
Look in the exim-doc package's info pages for Address Rewriting for
details.

Re: Debian too difficult, Red Hat?
Hi Kent, Before 3 month ago I ask me the equal question; I could not isdn get running under debian, and had no idea to figure out that problem. So I tried redhat 5.1 , I can't install it. the redhat crashed during installation 3 times. So I went back to Debian 2.0 (hamm) and began to stress the german list-members which ISDN-Questions. After a while, I've got them running. The easiest linux I ever used was suse after a installation of about 3-4 hours and feeling like a diskjockey (Cd1 cd2 cd 1 cd 3 cd1 cd2, etc,...) the system was configured with isdn, lan, printer, x and all needs I have, but I don't know why. After a period of 6 month I liked to use a new qt packages, however, it was at this time only as source vor suse available. !! It tooks me 4 DAYS to plug it in the system !! under debian the same package was installed after 15 minutes. I will say, if the installation is done, Debian is the finest linux I ever seen, clearly organized and easy to administrate. wish You Good Look and all the very best Peter

Machine description: The machine is an AMD K6-233 with 128MB RAM, ISA (nonPnP) NE2000 compatible network card, an Ensoniq EAPCI; Winborg on hda1; dLinux2.02 with typically a kernel 2.0.34 on hdb1, typically out of a boot floppy, no LILO. assuming: run this machine under Debian GNU/Linux will make no problem The problems are: * Crucial: Disappearing kernel devices: Under 2.0.34, I have full NE2000 and PPP. But: - only 64MB RAM instead of 128 add a line in Your lilo.conf like append=mem=128M e.g. below, note : do not yust copy this You almost have a other configuration place only the append-line at the same place # Start LILO global Section boot=/dev/sda2 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=normal prompt delay=120 read-only # End LILO global section image=/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda7 append=mem=128M label=Linux (I know about the 64MB support in 2.0.36) - no sound support (the EAPCI emulates SB, MPU401, AdLib, Ensoniq SoundScape.) sorry don't know this card, thanks for information that i could delete the append-line, ;) Under 2.0.36, I have the full 128MB RAM. But: - I lose the NE2000 I had before. I have a old ISA NE2000 , which works fine under Kernel 2.0.36 maybe some other tools must be updated to run network correctly I know if using ISDN(I do) You must update isdnutils also. However, eventually there are equal dependencies between 2.0.36 and newer network tools. my base and almost of network are from the slink dated 12/10/98 - And I lose PPP too!! see above - Still no sound support. also - 'dmesg' gives me Sound initialisation started Sound initialisation complete messages. It doesn't give anything more than that with respect to sound. I also assume You have installed the modules and configured the modules correctly. If not, or not sure install teh new kernel with the kernel-package I'm assuming that there must be some problem with the sound card, emulations and assignments. /proc's pci listing does actually register an EAPCI on IRQ5, correctly reading the BIOS. But the EAPCI emulates at least four different kinds of systems on DIFFERENT IRQs and IOs (e.g. IRQ7 not 5). And I don't know how to tell Linux what to assign where. irq 7 often is used for lp, see `/etc/conf.modules' for details * Less importantly, I do a clean install, Apache works fine. After a few days, start up messages indicate Attempting to start Apache... failed. At first, I thought it was an installation of Netscape 4 without the deb (i.e. using the ns-install script). So I did a complete reformat and install (the paranoid approach to stability issues), then got the deb. Installed Netscape, Apache stayed up. Worked great for a couple of days. Yesterday morning I boot and Apache... failed again. No repeat NO significant changes in configuration in between. I've also had this problem, please remove old lock-files under /var dam..., can't remember locality, sorry there several books on linux, take time go to a library and read some pages in different books, than buy that one which is comfortable for You, maybe Linux the complete reference.
