[SLUG] HP Laserjet p1005
Hi to all, Do you know if there is a Linux driver for the P1005 Laser Printer. I am running PCLinuxos 2008 and The printer is not recognised. Your thoughts will be most appreciated.

[SLUG] 24h viewe in Evolution
Hi all, today I did some searching and I am not sure in how far this would be a 'good' workaround. I hope someone can comment on this! So I searched for Evolution 24h time format setting bug. There are quite a few out there on launchpad [1] and on gnome bugs [2] as well. But from what I read this problem has been around for quite a while and is still not fixed. I am not a programmer but it seemed to me the programmer 'blamed' it always on something else. Anyway my Evolution gives me 12h time formats although everything else on my system is set to 24h (even the Evolution calendar). From reading the bugs I understand that it has to do with the local settings and in how far the programs respect them. As you might assume my locals are en_AU $ locale LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=en_AU.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_AU.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_AU.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=en_AU.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_AU.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=en_AU.UTF-8 LC_NAME=en_AU.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=en_AU.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=en_AU.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=en_AU.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_AU.UTF-8 LC_ALL= As a workaround I can start Evolution from the commandline with $ export LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 evolution and the mails are listed in 24h format. Now my question!? can I simply put the above command into my evolution button? or will this break stuff? Or maybe there is another solution...

Here's quickie.
if you want to rename a file by appending, for example, a .txt to the end
mv filename{,.txt}
or to remove .txt
mv filename{.txt,}

Really quick, basic one that most know, but is handy: Instead of redirecting output to /dev/null simply use '-' to close the stream. e.g. $ find . 2- cheers, Owen. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

I've got 2 to share today:
alt and then
alt
woo, that's kinda interesting.
It seems to pick the last word for each entry in the command-line
history?
Definitely second ctrl-r; I can't imagine a world without it.. Well i
can, I used to work with an older unix guy who used some older version
of bourne or c-shell and used !pattern (something like that) to run
previous commands. No, never again. Mind you, I set my shell to use
vi mode (set -o vi) which I think would freak out a lot of people.
I often have several files of related commands that I source into my
current shell.
This isn't a trick, more a set of conventions which I've found useful
to help keep me on top of things.
eg
% . some_file.sh
This file would have the following format:
h() {
less -EOF
VAR1: $VAR1
VAR2: $VAR2
...
func1 - do X
func2 - do Y
EOF
}
VAR1=some_val1
VAR2=some_val2
...
func1() {
...
}
func2() {
...
}
Then you can simply do:
% func1 ...
to run your routine.
% h
will list the commands and their descriptions assuming you've
documented them.
There are number of plain words you can use for your function names:
go,show,build,change,list,check,log,update,start,stop etc
You might do this to parcel up a bunch of related commands for some
area or thing. For instance, managing a database. 'go' might take
you to conf directory or put you into the database shell etc etc It's
also a good place to stash notes if you're learning something or
documenting it - either as comments or in the h() or simply in the
functions themselves. Listing things like relevant locations and
filenames as shell VARS is good documentation too.
My other even more OT tip: if you use the commandline a lot and you
haven't tried screen, try it and become the super nerd you were
always meant to be.

RE: [SLUG] HP Laserjet p1005
Hi, I have this printer, and it works great. Had your problem with Suse 11 (was a little surprised) and the Suse hplip package wouldn't work, it 'saw' the printer but no print jobs would come out. The way i get it working is bypassing any distro specific package and downloading the hplip software from http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html hope that works for you :) Marty -Original Message- From: slug-boun...@slug.org.au [mailto:slug-boun...@slug.org.au] On Behalf Of Gerald Sent: Saturday, 7 February 2009 7:34 PM To: slug@slug.org.au Subject: [SLUG] HP Laserjet p1005 Hi to all, Do you know if there is a Linux driver for the P1005 Laser Printer.
