[SLUG] Apple 23

2004-10-12 Thread Malik Jayawardena
Hi,
Does anyone have any clue about getting an Apple 23 display running at 
full res ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) on XFree86?

Haven't tried it yet, but I'd like to get a heads up.
I know it's old but we're using RH 7.3 at the mo.

[SLUG] HP PSC 2110 working on RH 7.3

2004-07-19 Thread Malik Jayawardena




Hi,

I'm trying to get an HP PSC 2110 working on RH 7.3. I've followed all
the instructions and installed everything as per the HP 
sourceforge sites regarding the foomatic update:

http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/patchfix.php

Anyway, it all goes well and seems to find the printer and install it
with the correct driver, but when I try do a test print,
absolutely NOTHING happens... 

Before I upated foomatic (I chose a PSC 9xx) it at least just kept form
feeding the printer (with no printing), but now nothing happens at all.

Anyone come across/solved this dilema?

I've not had much experience with Linux printing, but what I'm trying
to do is set up a Linux Print Server that can serve both Linux 
Windows machines. If anyone could let me know a good configuration for
this as well (LPr, LPD, CUPS, etc) that would be great!!

Help would be most graciously appreciated.

Thanks,
-Malik

Re: [SLUG] qustion about audacity.

2004-07-14 Thread Malik Jayawardena




Hi Bill.

It's just saying your soundcard doesn't support 96khz sampling...
"HW does not support 96000 Hz sample rate"
HW = Hardware

"closest = 46790"
You soundcard probably only goes up to 46.7Khz

Do you have SB Live! or something to that effect? I think the Audigy's support 96khz.

This should not effect Audacity *if* the file you wish to work on/record is be at a lower rate.

Is the soundfile you're working on 96khz? What was it recorded on? If
it is, you might have to convert it down to 44.1Khz. 

I know you can convert the sample rate in the later Audacity versions,
but I'm not sure it will allow you to load it at all if your sample 
rate is higher than what your hardware supports. If it doesn't you may
need to drop the sample rate down on the hardware it was originally
recorded on before loading it in to Audacity.

Good luck,
- Mal

Hey Bill,

What kind of file is it and how was it recorded?


Bill Bennett wrote:

  Many thanks for the reply.

I'm a bit puzzled about something here.

The disk is a radio programme that contains (a) chat and
(b) music. I want the (b).

The disk holds one (giant) file that, I guess, I'll have
to upload from the CD reader.

Why can't I just use cp (ie., copy)

Re: [SLUG] X11 Font?

2004-07-07 Thread Malik Jayawardena




Hi Nick,

Thanks for the reply.

We've acutally just sussed it out. Apparently FC2 has font scaling
disabled by default. All we did was add these two lines under "catalogue="
to the 
/etc/X11/fs/config and it fixed it.

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi

Thanks again,
-Mal

  Mal,

Did you type this or paste it?
There appear to be 14 fields in this XLFD (X Logical Font Descriptor), where
there should be 13.


		  $ xlsfonts | grep helvetica | less

		  -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--34-240-100-100-p-176-iso10646-1
		  -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--34-240-100-100-p-176-iso8859-1
		  etc

I doubt whether that's due to the differences between distributions. It's
either a typo or a screw loose in the error messages of the software.

The 480 is the POINT_SIZE, (i.e 48pt). If I look for 48pt fonts here

		  $ xlsfonts | grep 480
		  -cc-song-medium-r-normal-jiantizi-48-480-75-75-c-480-gb2312.1980-0
		  -hrnethcr-grtex-bold-i-normal--50-480-75-75-p-326-iso8859-2

I get a few, but no helvetica. Maybe you need to look for a larger helvetica 
somewhere. I'll have a go as well later.

The IA-64 Kernel will not. IA-64 is for the Itanium series only.
  
  
The X86-64 kernel might. I remember vaguely reading something in a
2.6.recentish chagelog that some of the X86-extended features or
whatever intel calls it had surfaced in the kernel source.
  
  
Maybe have a look at the change log of some of the recent 2.6.x
kernels. Look for references to EM64T and the Nocona.
  
Also look for email addresses @intel as they were doing quite a bit of
submitting.
  
  
Cheers.

[SLUG] X11 Font?

2004-07-05 Thread Malik Jayawardena




G'day,

Just trying to run a piece of X11 software in Fedora Core 2 which used
to work in RH 7.3.
This software uses hardware OpenGL using the nVidia driver.

Anyway I keep getting this error:

"Font not found: -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-*-480-*-*-*-*-*-*No font
found for GL"

..when trying to run the software.

We use the same nVidia driver on both distros, but it seems that only
Fedor C2 has this problem.
I'm guessing it's just an X11 font thing, but if anyone has any idea
where I can get this font from to install (rpm, etc), or if it's not
the problem, any idea how ot fix it, that would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
-Mal

[SLUG] NIC Problem

2004-06-10 Thread Malik Jayawardena




Hi there,

I'm having this strange network problems with some new HP XW6000
workstations. They all have a Broadcom 5700 10/100/1000 onboard NIC.
All of these machines are running RedHat 7.3 with either kernel
2.4.18-18.7.xsmp or 2.4.18-27.7.xsmp and using the 'tg3' module

The original HP XW6000s seem to work fine, but we've got a few new ones
recently (with OS installed) where, after boot up the network is REALLY
slow..
We do alot of remote X-Serving and it is really apparent. The only way
to fix this problem seems to be to stop networking unload the 'tg3'
module, then reload it, restart networking and then it seems to be on
par with the rest of the systems we have.

I've tried recompiling the new 'bcm57xx' module and running it, which
works fine, but it has the same effect on boot as the 'tg3' driver. And
yes, I have updated my modules.conf and it does install the new module
on boot. But still is slow until the module is reloaded.

This is the output I've gotten from ethtool  mii-tool. The are
somewhat different before and after reloading:


After boot(Slow):

# mii-tool
eth0: 100 Mbit, full duplex, link ok

# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
 Supported ports: [ TP ]
 Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full
 Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
 Advertised link modes: Not reported
 Advertised auto-negotiation: No
 Speed: 100Mb/s
 Duplex: Full
 Port: Twisted Pair
 PHYAD: 0
 Transceiver: internal
 Auto-negotiation: off
 Supports Wake-on: g
 Wake-on: d
 Link detected: yes


After Module Reload(Quick):

# mii-tool
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok

#ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
 Supported ports: [ TP ]
 Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full
 Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
 Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full

 Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
 Speed: 100Mb/s
 Duplex: Full
 Port: Twisted Pair
 PHYAD: 0
 Transceiver: internal
 Auto-negotiation: on
 Supports Wake-on: g
 Wake-on: d
 Link detected: yes

I'm guessing it's a startup script kind of problem or something like
that, but instead of tediously hunting through them, if someone is
familiar with this problem or has some idea of what's going on any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers and thanks muchly,

Mal

Thanks Keith, 

...and thanks Rob for the other reply,

I'll see if I can check the switch out and see what's going on at that
end... but.. why would the other XW6000 boxes be working alright at
boot and not these particular boxes?
Also is there away to manually configure the module/eth0 device to just
start up with these settings?
deep breath and.. Why would the switch be auto-negotiating with
the module/device after it is unloaded and reloaded and not a boot?
Would there be a difference?

Keith Hopkins wrote:
Hi Malik,
  
  
 I have an idea about what is going on. It isn't a problem with the
XW6000 per se, it is a problem with the switch not matching the
speed/duplex setting of the XW6000.
  
  
 If you check your switch, I think you'll find that either
auto-negotiation is turned off on that port, or it is not set at 100FD.
  
  
 You can see in your previous posting that XW6000 is not
autonegotiating at boot, so either the switch must do it, or that port
on the switch must be manually set to match the speed/duplex of the
XW6000.
  
  
 There was a time in the not too distant past, before N-Way
auto-negotiation came out, when you would have the same result as you
are seeing if your machine's NIC and the attached switch were BOTH
trying to auto-negotiate. (but that probably has nothing to do with
this problem, but might explain why your card is not set to
auto-negotiate at boot.) N-way cleared up that problem.

Yeah, usually in /etc/modprobe.conf.  You'll have to look

Hi Sluggers,

Got a problem with Bpalogin. I've tried it on, RH8.0, 9.0 + Mandrake 9
+ 9.1 and it doesn't work.
It seems to work ok on Mandrake 8.0 though and I think RH 7.3. I'm not
sure what the changes are that screwed with its functionallity but it
certainly isn't 
working properly in the newer versions of both. I have been to the
bpalogin sourceforge site and a few people seem to have to same problem
but there seem to be only half ar$ed answers there and they really
don't help much.

I do get a DHCP assigned IP from bigpond and I ping the dce-server, I
can also ftp to the update-server (I think that's what it's called), or
wherever you download the
utilities from. But Bpalogin still doesn't work.

I've got it working by going into windows and logging in, writing down
the IP I was assigned, rebooting into Linux and manually assigning that
IP to the eth device, and finally using Bids2login. This works ok in RH
9.0, but it is a PAIN in the ar$e, and I don't want to see those bloody
multicoloured, wavey four squares any more than I have to. 
Also, bids2login doesn't seem to work in Mandrake 9.1 for some reason.
It comes up with a "reslov" error or something like that...

Anyone had any luck fixing this?
Would appreciate the help, so I can log back on to that rip-off of an
ISP in Linux again!

Thanks,

Mal

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've disabled the firewall in both Mandrake and
Red Hat, but to no avail.

I'll try the suggestions in that link, but I'm pretty sure I've been
through most of the stuff on the sourceforge site.

Does anyone know what happens during login? I.e. what
bpalogin/bids2login actually does??

Mandrake comes with a built in firewall that is most likely dropping the
heartbeat, go into the mandrake control center and have a poke at the
security settings, you want to allow your dce-server to access port
5050, and set the same in /etc/bpalogin.conf.

have you tried running a tcpdump -X, it will show you in ASCII exactly

(man tcpdump and fiddle some args so that you get the best filter)

[SLUG] Modem on compaq persario 1550A

2003-03-27 Thread Malik Jayawardena
Howdy

Trying to get the modem going on this compaq presario 1550a. It seems to 
have a conexant soft 56k modem. I've installed the HSF linux package 
from conexant which seems to find the modem and loads the modules, but I 
can't seem to activate the ppp. Doesn't do anything and probing doesn't 
seem to find the modem.

Anyone else have any experience with this? Do they just flat out don't 
work because it's a soft modem?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks,

-Malik

[SLUG] RH 8.0 Bpalogin

2003-03-21 Thread Malik Jayawardena
Hi there,

Just joined the group and want to ask a fairly simple question.

Is there an problems with bpalogin and RH 8.0.. or the newer kernels? It 
seems to work fine in 7.3. I've also tried it with Lycoris thing and it 
doesn't seem to work for that either.

Any help would be great, thanks.
