[SLUG] Cant find pstoppm.ps in Ghostscript package.
Hi all,
I have a Perl script (textogif) which I downloaded which coverts latex equations to
gifs by using gs to render ps files. It's failing with:
Error: /undefinedfilename in (pstoppm.ps)
cause I don't have that file on my system.
The docs that came with the program say that
"pstoppm.ps (version supplied with Ghostscript 2.6.1)"
but dpkg -L gs | grep pstoppm says "nope" :-)
and a find does not find it either.
So it looks like the Ghostscript that comes with Debian does not include that file.
Jills SUSE system also does not have the file. Perhaps it not in later versions of gs?
Anyone know what package I need for that file?
The part of the Perl script that calls it is:
open(P, "| gs -q -sDEVICE=ppmraw pstoppm.ps") ||
die("Can't open pipe to Ghostscript\n");
printf(P "%d %d ppmsetdensity\n", int($dpi / $res), int($dpi / $res));
print(P "(_temp_$$) ppm1run\n");
print(P "quit\n");
close(P);
die("Ghostscript/pstoppm.ps error processing _temp_$$.ps\n") if $?;
and its failing at the line that opens the pipe to gs as it can't find pstoppm.ps.

They connect only by using the IP address For the clients to connect only via IP - well thats the broken bit - names are there for exactly this problem. Anyway - what does netstat -an tell you? are their open ports 137 and 139 on both interfaces? have you given samba a listen on directive? dave -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] Internet cafe setup
Hi all, I am setting up a small internet café using Smoothwall as the firewall and Redhat for most of the other machines. I am intending to set up Linux as the workstation machines with some Win machines if we can scratch together some licences (my fantasy is zero Win but the world isn’t perfect YET). What I want to be able to do is easily control and monitor network usage i.e. someone wants to use a workstation, they are allocated one, the network is enabled for that machine, then the useage of that machine is logged for charging. When they have finished using the machine the network access is removed for that machine. Has anyone set something like this up? What have they found to be the best tools? What would be the easiest and simplest approach? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Nick Reese
Re: [SLUG] Samba - Using eth0:0 alias
> Is anyone familiar with this type of behaviour ? Not really but are you sure the server alias directive can't help you out? Then your samba server - say its called sally - can also be called jill and bill too :) I think the specific directive is "netbios alias" check out the man pages for more details. As for your actual problem, I'm not sure :) dave -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] Samba - Using eth0:0 alias
Good morning I have a server with a single ethernet card, but aliased to two IP addresses. eth0 = 172.30.65.25 eth0:0 172.30.65.24 Samba mounts work as expected to eth0, but not to eth0:0 ie: \\172.30.65.25\users works \\172.30.65.24\users fails. If I reverse the aliases so eth0 becomes 172.30.65.24 then it works but 172.30.65.25 on eth0:0 fails. Is anyone familiar with this type of behaviour ?

[SLUG] "/dev/cdrom is not a valid block device"
...that is the error message I get when I try to mount the CD on a box I am setting up, a Compaq Presario 2417, in which I have replaced the HDD (/dev/hda). The distro is RH7.2 and it installed OK from /dev/hdb. /dev/cdrom is symlinked to /dev/hdb OK. If I try to "mount /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom" then I get a similar error. If I try to "dd if=/dev/hdb" again the same error. /var/log/dmesg shows the device as being detected at boot. /etc/sysconfig/hwconf shows that kudzu found the device.

[SLUG] cups colour and a vimrc trick
First the trick, Jeff might like this for his .vimrc. I have been
reading manuals again.
set printexpr=PrintFile(v:fname_in)
function PrintFile(fname)
call system("qtcups " . a:fname)
call delete(a:fname)
return v:shell_error
endfunc
Calls cups client for printing, allows printer setup.
My problem is that the HP dj 670C colour cartridge is stuffed (I am
guessing) and I cannot get any colour out. I cannot switch the printout
to grayscale and make it stick.
Any hints.

There was a bug in the freedos kernel a month or so back but they have probably fixed their distro by now. I haven't checked. At that time you had to get a later kernel to use with their "distribution". If I remember and have time I will have a look tomorrow. If you wish I could email you an image of a boot disk and you could dd it to a floppy. regards, Ken -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] Can't get PHP4 to run on Debian
Hi all, I have installed php4 on my debian box but the php script does not work as I seem to have a problem with apache not loading the php module. When I have the LoadModule line uncommented "apachectl start" does not start the httpd daemon. I have to comment out the LoadModule line for the php4 for apache to start and of course then php won't work. How can I find out what the problem is in the loading of the module? The apache error.log file gets no entry in it as apache won't run with the module trying to load even with LogLevel set to debug. A test of the httpd syntax with 'apachectl configtest' shows OK with the module line in it so the syntax is ok. Maybe its another previously loaded module making problems. The 'test.php' test file is just: Tests Tests Test PHP Info. My httpd.conf file contains: LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so I know that the order of these modules can be tricky. Its last in the list and was put there by apt-get install php4 followed by apacheconfig. Also in httpd.conf is the line... AddType application/x-httpd-php .php The module is there OK. /usr/lib/apache/1.3# ls -l libphp* -rw-r--r--1 root root 1363200 Dec 28 04:45 libphp4.so Any ideas ?
