Re: [Etch] Iceweasel, flash player et Freeze [Debutant]

2008-01-01 Thread Hugues MORIN
Salut et BONNES ANNEES

J'ai enfin reussi a resoudre ce probleme en installant le flashplayer-mozilla.

J'ai fait quelques tests avec le flashplugin-nonfree mais ce n'a pas
etait probant, ca a meme ete pire. Les 2 paquets propose la version
flash: Shockwave Flash 9.0 r115, mais l'un plante et l'autre marche.

Merci pour les conseils et les informations diverses et variees qu'il
va falloir que j'etudie un peu pour progrsser.

Bonne journee et encore BONNE ANNEE 2008

Amicalement

 Bonsoir Hugues

 ( Ca fait bizarre c'est premiers mots.;-)  )

 J'ai en fin eu un vrai plantage comme j'avais l'habitude (j'ai confie
 la realisation de celui-ci a mon fils de 3 ans ;) qui a reussi cela en
 20mn)

 Alors du coup, j'ai essaye toutes les commandes dont on a parle, Resultat:

 1/ Dans Alt+SysRq+..., aucun ne fonctionne ( du moins en apparence) a
 l'exeption de Alt+SysRq+b, et biensur Alt+SysRq+o.

 2/ A partir de ma 2eme machine XP, je peux faire un Ping sur la
 machine freezee et celle ci repond.

 3/ Avec PuTTY, je n'arrive pas a me connecter. Quand j'ouvre PuTTY,
 dans la 1ere fenetre je saisie l'IP de la machine que je veux
 atteindre et je clique sur connecter (NB: le bouton radio SSH est
 coche). La fenetre de console souvre et puis plus rien, juste le
 curseur qui reste interminablement figer.

 Voila pour l'ampleur de la panne et ces details.
 Il ne me reste plus qu'a faire le changement du pluin flash,
 maintenant que j'ai essaye les solutions normales pour sortir d'un
 plantage.

  
   Du coup s/q/k/ ;)
   Pour être précis ce n'est pas tous les processus mais seulement ceux de
   la console courante...
  
  
   Desole mais la je ne te suis plus, par s/q/k tu veux dire Alt+SysRq+k ?
   ou alors c'est Alt+SysRq+s puis Alt+SysRq+q (mais c'est une erreur, ca
   n'existe pas) puis Alt+SysRq+k ?
  
  
  Non, je veux dir qu'il faut remplacer le q par un k dans ce que j'ai dis
  précédemment, voir : http://www.shellunix.com/regexp.html
  @+
 

 Merci, vraiment tres interressant ce site, je vais le potasser. Ca
 fait deja quelques temps que je me poser des questions sur le shell et
 en particulier sur les sh.

 Bonne soiree

sons pour fenêtre de connexion sous debian testing

j'avais envoyé un message qui n'a pas eu de réponse et mes recherches sur

J'avais uniquement lors de la fenêtre de connexion (login) un affreux son 
système (produit par l'ordi); Je ne suis donc peut-re pas le seul à avoir ce 
problème sous testing lenny/sid 2.6.22-3-686 .

Il m'a fallu blacklister le module responsable de ce son, donner à greeter par 
le default.conf de gdm le chemin vers aplay (et non play qui n'existe pas) et 
bien sûr le chemin vers le son désiré.

Quelle carte RAID 1 pour Debian Etch

2008-01-01 Thread EPIXELIC - Martin Giry

Bonjour,

Je suis à la recherche d'une carte (pci ou pci-x) compatible debian 4 
pour faire du raid 1 matériel.

J'aimerai y connecter 2 disques Sata II.
Avez-vous des retours d'expérience ou des recommandations ? Quel modèle, 
quelle marque ? Quel prix et ou l'acheter ?


Je m'interroge aussi sur un problème, lorsque je lis des sites sur le 
sujet :


- certains disent qu'il faut que la carte soit compatible avec debian, 
c'est-à-dire que le noyau ou un module compatible doit exister.
- d'autres disent que l'OS n'a rien à voir avec la carte RAID puisque 
l'OS ne voit qu'un seul disque et que le RAID est géré matériellement.


Merci pour vos lumières !

 Deduzco de mi experiencia que de alguna forma se ha corrompido algún

no tendra algun boton para proteccion de escritura el pendrive?



intenta (como root):

A ver si te funciona.



No, el pendrive no tiene ningún botón para protección de escritura. Ya probé a darle permisos con chmod, 
lo hice así: #chmod 777 /media/usbdisk y cuando ya estaba montado cambiaba los permisos. También probe a darle permisos 777
a la carpeta antes de montar el pendrive y aunque en ese caso si me asignaba los permisos a la carpeta después cuando lo 
montaba cambiaban. 


Gracias por las respuestas pero hoy mismo he vuelto a introducir el pen para probar otra 
vez y se ha automontado correctamente
(como venía haciendo hasta ayer) permitiéndome trabajar con el perfectamente. 
Lo tendré que dejar como una anécdota pues no
puedo explicar porque ayer no se montaba bien; el efecto 2008¿? xD.

Re: Controle de Banda Eficiente

2008-01-01 Thread Brivaldo Junior
Gunix,

  Acredito que as regras usando HTB abaixo possam te ajudar:

  ###
  #Controle de Tráfego
  #Max = 1Mbit
  #Banda1 = 400 (aqui vamos usar a porta do sistema: 1140)
  #Banda2 = 600 (computadores da rede em geral)

  DEV=eth0

  tc qdisc del dev $DEV root  /dev/null 21
  tc qdisc add dev $DEV handle 1: root htb default 3

  tc class add dev $DEV classid 1:1 parent 1: htb rate 1000kbit ceil
1000kbit
  tc class add dev $DEV classid 1:2 parent 1:1 htb rate 400kbit ceil
1000kbit
  tc class add dev $DEV classid 1:3 parent 1:1 htb rate 600kbit ceil
1000kbit

  tc filter add dev $DEV parent 1: prio 0 protocol ip u32 \
 match ip protocol 0x06 0xff \
 match ip dport 1140 0x \
 flowid 1:2
  ###

  Bem vamos a algumas explicações rápidas, primeiramente nós zeramos todas
as classificações do dispositivo eth0 do nosso servidor que contém a
aplicação alvo, depois criamos uma classe qdisc raiz do tipo HTB com tráfego
default na 3. Depois disso criamos uma classe 1:1 com o total do nosso link
ADSL em questão (1Mbit) e 2 classes filhas 1:2 e 1:3 com 400kbits e 600Kbits
como mencionado pelo nosso amigo. Após isto, definimos um filtro que vai
controlar a porta 1140 que diz que se a porta destino for a 1140 ele vai ser
classificado na regra 1:2 e todo o resto do tráfego como não é filtrado vai
para o default que é 1:3.

 efetivamento aplicado. A mensagem foi apenas um alerta sobre as permissões

que nada tenham a ver com o problema em si, apenas mais um detalhe a ser

não descansava até o último warning do -Wall do gcc não fosse resolvido,

   Ao que parece ele colocou o patch lá mas não mudou o rules para que o

etch 2.6 kernel and modutils broken symlinks

2008-01-01 Thread Declan Mullen
Hi All

My system is running etch with the latest updates and a 2.6 kernel. It
has never installed or run a 2.4 or 2.2 kernel.

I've noticed that my system has some files that belong to the modutils
package (which is used with 2.2 and 2.4 kernels), however I don't have
that package installed. The files are /sbin/ksyms and
/bin/kallsyms, both of which are symbolic links to insmod.modutils
which by the way doesn't exist.

In addition to those two files there are the following files which are
also symbolic links to the non-existant insmod.modutils:

 /sbin/modprobe.modutils
 /sbin/lsmod.modutils
 /sbin/rmmod.modutils
 /bin/lsmod.modutils

Assuming that I continue to run 2.6 kernels, will these broken symbolic
links and missing insmod.modutils cause problems for my system? If so,
are there any recommended fixes ?

BTW, why are these broken symbolic links present on my system ? Is this
a known issue ?

Thanks,
Declan

This is true.  Those ones also usually also handle NAT and DHCP.  They are

The driver ATT wants you to install is just full of crapware that they

If the modem provides straight ethernet (no pppoe or other specialities 
required), then the docs that come with your modem will usually tell you 
what ip-address the modem will have.


Plug everything in per the instructions, enable the interface with dhcp 
and browse to said address. If the docs say nothing, watch the output 
from your dhcp client to find the ip of the modem.

Your system is OK, except for the fact that there is a non-Debian
libz.so.1 in /usr/local/lib/. Wherever this file came from, it does not
implement the gzopen64 function which is needed by gconftool-2. Your
problem will persist as long as the linker gives precedence to
/usr/local/lib/libz.so.1.

[...]


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ldd /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 | grep libz
libz.so.1 = /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7e83000)


Same as above: You need to see /usr/lib/libz.so.1 here (no /local/).


I think I'd like to understand why this first attempt didn't work.


I don't think you did anything so far. (/sbin/ldconfig -pNX is a
diagnostic command; I was trying to tell you how to check which
locations are known for the libz library.)  


aptitude is still very broken, full output here at
http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/door/AptitudeUpgradeStillFailing


The main issue seems to be the gconftool-2 problem. Whenever you call
aptitude it will first try to fix the broken packages and it will
continue to fail until the libz.so.1 issue is addressed.


i'm totally lost by now (but eagerly trying to keep up), here's the output from 
that one:

$ /sbin/ldconfig -pNX | grep local
libz.so.1 (libc6) = /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1
libz.so (libc6) = /usr/local/lib/libz.so
libsvn_ra_local-1.so.1 (libc6) = /usr/lib/libsvn_ra_local-1.so.1
liblocalkonnector.so (libc6) = /usr/lib/liblocalkonnector.so

so should i get rid of all those (or rename them) and see if that helps?


AFAICT, your only two problems are /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1 and
/usr/local/lib/libz.so. My problem is that I don't know why these files
are on your system, therefore I am hesitant to tell you to delete or
rename them, because this might break other things.

In my opinion you have three options:

1) Tells us exactly how and why these /usr/local/lib/ files got on your
   system. We might be able to figure out what the safest approach is if
   we know that.

2) Read up on the basics of linking and shared libraries, then make an
   informed decision yourself after you fully understand the present
   problem.

3) Remove or rename the /usr/local/lib/libz.so* files, run ldconfig
   (as root, without any arguments or options), make sure that ldd
   /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 | grep libz shows /usr/lib/libz.so.1 will be
   used, and run aptitude install -f. 



Good show Florian! I got stuck in a similar situation a year or so ago. 
Happened through the installation of an RPM package that I alien'd. 
Happy new year.

aptitude (and wajig) likes to be more than slightly aggressive in
what else it wants to remove when you remove a top level (not
meta-) package.

Recent versions of apt-get strike a nice balance by listing the
packages that become orphanable by a remove, and helpfully
suggests running apt-get autoremove.  And just install the ones
you want to keep, so that apt-get stops pestering/reminding you to
autoremove them.


   I'm going with the debian/GNU party line which says aptitude is
superior to apt-get in some way (though I still don't think there's a
drop-in replacement for apt-get source functionality to make aptitude
do the right thing, so I would still use apt-get there, but now that i
know aptitude install -f is the equivalent of apt-get -f install, I
really use apt-get for nothing except downloading source packages,
aptitude happily works just fine (until this event, and I think it was
really the number of upgradeable packages I was trying to do at once,
and the unfortunate circumstance of not reading the apt-listbugs output
closely enough to catch that this libxml2 problem was gonna bite me)) --
i'm confident it'll get solved though (and if not, a reinstall isn't a
huge burden for me).

PREEMPT kernel with nvidia

2008-01-01 Thread Paul Andreassen
Hi,

Is it possible to have a PREEMPT kernel while using the closed source nVidia 
driver?

I've compiled the stable kernel 2.6.18 and the backported kernel 2.6.22, and 
both kill random programs.  Its strange because it some times kills the game 
I'm running, sometime faults on boot up and once gcc actually died.

Thanks,

Re: DVD distorted picture

 Hi,
 
 I am using mplayer to watch DVD video movies. Some DVD can be
 displayed on the screen well, but others were displayed in a distorted
 picture with 3 columns repeated the same contents. Does anyone know
 what was that problem and how to fix it?
 
 I was using following command:
 
 mplayer -fs dvd:media/INCONVENIENTTRUTH/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB

First of all, you should be able to use a more simplified command line,
something like:

mplayer -fs dvd://

should do it. You may have to specify a title number, start with mplayer -fs
dvd://1 and increase the number until something sensible happens. Hard to tell
you in advance which number to use, depends on the DVD.

Now, to your problem. I think we first need to figure out if this is an 
mplayer issue or an issue with the DVD itself. Try playing the DVD on a normal
player, or using another program like totem. Do you get the same effect?

If so, it's a problem with the DVD. If the DVD is an original, bought copy,
you've either been ripped off or something has gone seriously screwy. If it's
a copy, that's what you get for trying to rip off the film company ;-)

Now assuming other players play it OK, it's starting to sound like an mplayer
problem. It would be helpful to see the text output by mplayer when playing the
DVD.

If mplayer has a problem and so does some other software eg totem, but a
hardware DVD player has no problem with it, that implies problems with the DVD
reading libraries such as libdvdread and libdvdcss, in which case we are
starting to get out of my depth, but let us know what versions of these
libraries you have anyway...

 Perhaps it should be policy that if the documentation isn't in the usual
 /usr/share/doc/[package-name] that there be a note there with a pointer
 (i.e. The documentation for this package is in the foo-doc package since
 it is so big.) or (The documentation for this package is under a license
 that does not meet the debian free software guidelines.  You can find
 the documentation {in the non-free package foo-doc | at the following
 URL}, preferably the non-free package option.

 Also, perhaps it should be policy that the man page for each command
 list the package from which it comes and therefore where the further
 docs are.

 The dpkg -S trick should be in the debian installation manual under how
 to find documentation, which should also point to the debian-reference,
 and the other sources of documentation we've discussed in this thread.


A secondary issue is that there's no consistency in file formats
  between different documentation packages.  To read documentation, you
  need to be able to handle:
 
* Plain text
* HTML
* PDF
* PostScript
* DVI
* Manpages
* Info documents
* Whatever help file format Gnome and KDE are using nowadays
 
 There is also texinfo as another source of documentation and anyone
using perl has to know about perldoc.

This wouldn't be as much of an issue if there was a way for a user to
  easily access all the documentation related to a command; PDF viewers
  are fairly easy to deal with, for instance (although a lot of packages
  compress their PDF documentation, which means you have to manually
  uncompress it somewhere).
 

 I think that pdf is the biggest issue.  I don't normally put a pdf
 reader on all my boxes and I often don't have X.  I usually have mc and
 lynx.  If I need info, I'll use pinfo although I don't like the info
 format.

 I also dislike huge long man pages.  To me, man pages should be for a
 bit more help than foo --help; a summary.  The main doc should be in
 plain html for viewing with lynx or something.


I quite like man pages - I guess you must dislike the iptables and
bash ones immensely.
 I use less as my pager and can search the man page to find things I
want plus move around the document reasonably well.  The format of the
man pages is that the syntax is at the top of the file with the
options all discussed afterwards so I only have to go back up to the
top using 1G to refresh my view of what I am seeing.  Esc-U usually
clears selected text resulting from a search.

I would however prefer to see a consistent approach to documentation.
It is very confusing for a newbie.

I am not entirely fond of the info system even though it is useful
with the emacs speedbar.  Yet there are short man pages which say see
the info page for the complete documentation and that caused me the
worry of working out if I had info installed.

Lynx is useful for viewing HTML on non-X systems.

It is also important to have the documentation for the particular
version of the package installed
and not the latest available on the upstream website - many newbies
might well seek that website rather than think to look for
documentation on their system.

There is a massive amount of documentation out there.  Some indexing
of debian documentation occurs on http://www.uk.debian.org/doc/ but  I
think package documentation should always appear in
/usr/share/doc/packagename.

Some of the howtos are important to read especially the apt-get howto
but I find I worry how applicable some howtos actually are now.

Such sporadic problems can be caused by faulty hardware. (bad RAM, power
supply instability, insufficient cooling, ...) GCC for example can
sometimes function as a sort of CPU-and-memory-stress-tester.

Can you run your system (same load) on the nv driver without problems?
Did you test this for a sufficiently long time so that you can be sure
that the crashes only happen with the nvidia driver?

  This is also based on your locale.
 
 And this is nasty: This means that if the user changes his locales
 (or use different locales depending on the context), he will get
 buggy filenames; this is also the case with system scripts that run
 under the C locale. Also, different users using different locales
 won't easily be able to share files.
 
 Workaround 1: don't use non-ASCII characters in filenames. This
 may not be very user-friendly, but this is 100% compatible with
 everything.
 
 Workaround 2 (if ASCII isn't sufficient): always use UTF-8. But be
 careful about the normalization problems (NFC/NFD...). Linux can't
 handle that, so that you may get several files with the same name
 (but encoded differently) in the same directory.

Workaround 3: get rid of (purge) the whole locales thing and stick with
'C'.  Had the advantage of at least doubling the apparent speed of my
slower computers.

build dependency removal

2008-01-01 Thread John Schmidt
Hi,

I am implementing a script that installs packages for Etch in a chroot.  
However, there are a couple of packages in Sid that I need.  I download the 
source and the build dependencies via:

apt-get -y build-dep $i
apt-get -y source --compile $i

I would like to remove the build dependencies from the install process 
automatically.  Other than doing a dpkg --get-selections prior to the build 
and after the build and removing the differences, is there a way to use dpkg 
to show what the build dependicies are and removing them via dpkg -P ?

I am aware of pbuilder, but since I am installing in a chroot, I wasn't sure 
how pbuilder would work in a chroot.

Thanks,

Just like another machine, because is another chroot, so it would be a

After the build you could try this if you're using GNOME (it just came

http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1885

Winff is a frontend for FFMPEG. It will convert most any video file that
FFmpeg will convert. WinFF does multiple files in multiple formats at
one time. You can for example convert mpeg's, flv's, and mov's, all into
avi's all at once. 

You need a fully enabled ffmpeg to make full use if winff.

The screenshot shows 3gp but I've not tried it. It would be good to know
how well it works...

Pay for it??? Opera doesn't ask for money

Considering how they have been pushing back against

	Heh, been out of the 'latest-greatest' game for a while.  I guess I 
still thought Opera was a 'for pay' proposition.  Imagine my surprise

	Dumb question, if I want a folder of bookmarks on my personal toolbar, 
can I change the icon from a folder to something else?  If so, how?  I 
couldn't find how to do it yet.

 Does RFP stand for request for package?

Yes, it does.

 Any ways, do you think a
 package is necessary for firmware downloading?  ipw2100 and ipw2200
 also require firmware download, and I think they do not have any
 package for that purpose, am I wrong (if I am, please let me know,
 since I have an ipw2100 card under a dell laptop)?

I think it is impossible for Debian to ship the firmware itself, due to
its license.

 Maybe documenting
 what's needed for YMF sound cards to work is what's missing, :)...

I tried to add information about obtaining firmware to the ALSA page of
the Debian wiki (based also on your's and Hugo's contributions to our
earlier discussion), but this page is set to immutable.

 BTW, I didn't find anything to YMF sound cards firmware under any
 repository (well, I found under contrib, alsa-firmware-loaders, but
 it's of no use for the purpose of downloading and updating YMF
 firmware I guess)...

It seems to me that the ALSA project is on somewhat shaky legal ground
with their distribution of these firmware blobs. This is problematic for
Debian, even for non-free.

failure booting lvm volume group over encrypted disk

2008-01-01 Thread Towncat
I'm trying to make a bootable backup disk based on a href=http://
linuxgazette.net/140/kapil.htmlthis howto/a.

The backup is on an external usb-sata drive. There is an sdc1
partition that is not used, a small sdc2 for boot, unencrypted, and an
sdc3 encrypted. On this there is a volume group, with two lv-s, one
for root and one for swap.

When booting the original system, I can open the encrypted disk, but I
need to restart lvm for the system to find the volume group on it. I
can also mount the lv-s.

When I try to boot the backup system, it loads the initramfs, and I
get this message:

/dev/mapper/vg_externalsata_2-root does not exist.

Looking at /proc/modules shows that the dm_crypt module is not loaded
(although it seems to be included in the initramfs), which I think
might be the problem.

Any ideas? Did someone use the same howto with success?

There is, though, economic reason to not release software code.

If I had to open source the part of my system that goes on my clients' 
computers, someone who didn't put in the effort to develop it would 
start a company without the development costs and cause me serious 
damage.

But maybe I'm wrong.  After all, it's so easy to take a moral high 
ground and say you know what's absolutely right when you're the one who 
has nothing at stake by following what you say.

There is a serious need for balance in the field of IP.  While some feel 
it's okay to download any song for free and others want to control 
everyone's complete use of a song, movie, or software (for instance, 
the MS license that does not allow using standard XP as a web server 
for public use), we do have to remember that it takes work to produce 
IP and much of what's out there would not be there if it weren't for 
people and companies being able to get a return on their investment.

When I start some windows game (using wine), it change resolution. When
I finish playing, resolution is back to usual 1280x1024. However, when I
log out from gnome and log in again, I find icons on panel messed up -

cups server on lenny system no accessible

2008-01-01 Thread Rainer Dorsch
Hello,

I recently replace an etch system with a cups server running with a lenny 
system. In the cupsd.conf I modified this part:

# Show shared printers on the local network.
Browsing On
BrowseProtocols cups
BrowseAddress 192.168.1.255
BrowseAllow 192.168.1.*
BrowseInterval 30
BrowsePort 631
BrowseOrder allow,deny
#BrowseAllow all

# Default authentication type, when authentication is required...
DefaultAuthType Basic

# Restrict access to the server...
Location /
  Order allow,deny
  Allow localhost
  Allow @LOCAL
  # rd, 20080101
  Allow 192.168.1.*
/Location


A Debian etch system is a cups client only and uses the directive

ServerName 192.168.1.10

in its client.conf. The 192.168.1.10 is the server IP and works well e.g. with 
a standard ssh connection (i.e I have no basic networking problem).

The client cannot access the server and there is not even a message in the 
server logfile. The client gets an Unable to connect to server. None of the 
systems has a firewall running.

In the server logfile I see the line

I [01/Jan/2008:23:39:05 +0100] Listening to 127.0.0.1:631 (IPv4)

but I miss that the server is listening to the network interface.

Does anybody understand what is going wrong?

Thanks,
Rainer

 Some terminals also allow to change the encoding at runtime, e.g. KDE
 konsole or putty.

xterm does that as well (control sequences, or menu entry)

It doesn't adjust the fonts though, so it's possible to start it with
an ISO-8859-1 font and switch to UTF-8, making it recognize but not
display various characters.  That's the point of the uxterm script -
to make it simple.

Default xterm doesn't but if you want xterm with utf-8, that's another

All you have to do is ensure you have en-USutf-8 installed as a locales

Re: dvdstyler and KDE?

2008-01-01 Thread Curt Howland

Hash: SHA1


 Any one using DVDstyler under KDE desktop?
 (It seems to require Gnome-desktop??)

Not to worry. Unless you have some disk-space limitation that will not 
allow you to have the GTK libraries installed, they will only be 
loaded by applications which require them.

Installing dvdstyler does not mean that you will run the GNOME desktop 
environment, only that the GTK libraries must be available for the 
application.

DVDstyler runs just fine on KDE, just as K3b will run just fine on 
GNOME, if the libraries it needs are available. Both also run 
perfectly well on OLWM, XFCE, and every other desktop available in 
the Debian archives.

This is one of the beautiful things about everyone using the Xwindow 
interface. Everyone plays nicely together.

I've tried both squid and squid3 (via apt-get). My current config file

Is there any advantage using one over the other? For a transparent proxy

I think this is often an over-inflated worry. I dabble in hacking on
some open-source stuff a little bit here and there. In any
sufficiently complex project, there is a *huge* learning curve to become
proficient enough to truly support a product, much less meet
customers' needs for changes and improvements. 

Sure, I could take whatever code you open and probably hack at it and
make it do a few few things differently in pretty short order, but
that would catch up with me quickly. Either the customer would need
something I simply wasn't yet in a position to implement, or I woudl
break something in some unforeseen way and end up mired in spaghetti
source code I don't fully understand trying to hack my way out of the
proverbial paper bag. 

So if your code is sufficiently complex to cause this kind of
difficulty for someone using it to compete with you, then your own
expertise will win out in the end. You'll be able to implement
changes, track down bugs, support users etc with much more efficiency
than the competition and in the long run win out. 

If your code isn't sufficiently complex to force this situation (I
don't mean gratuitously complex, BTW), then maybe your code isn't
worth all that much anyway? (no comment intended on your code
specifically, just talking generalities here)

 
 But maybe I'm wrong.  After all, it's so easy to take a moral high 
 ground and say you know what's absolutely right when you're the one who 
 has nothing at stake by following what you say.
 
 There is a serious need for balance in the field of IP.

Indeed.

  While some feel 
 it's okay to download any song for free and others want to control 
 everyone's complete use of a song, movie, or software (for instance, 
 the MS license that does not allow using standard XP as a web server 
 for public use), we do have to remember that it takes work to produce 
 IP and much of what's out there would not be there if it weren't for 
 people and companies being able to get a return on their investment.

I think the disparity comes in when the profit motives far exceed the
realistic income expectations of a normal human being. It wasn't more
than about a generation ago that song writers didn't get rich writing
songs, they just made a living (and often a meager one at that). Same
with musicians. There was a fragmented market with many people in many
places earning a small living doing creative things. Now you have
mega-corporations making huge profits by pushing a handful of
artists at us. THey've consolidated it, provided an artifical
scarcity of sorts by controlling the market, and created an atmosphere
where if one doesn't make *millions* doing music, then there is no point
in doing it. 

How many peices of software, or support contracts or whatever do you
have to sell to make a decent living? And do you expect to make that
living continuously for an extended period of time without continued
work? or even develop and grow your products to the point where not
only do you make a living, but you make many times more than a living
and develop a large corporation? I'm not criticizing with these
questions, just putting them out there as things to consider. 

ISTM that open source sort of levels the playing field a little bit,
gives some control back to the little guy, allows little guys to make
a living, possibly, with systems much more complex and robust than
what one person could create on their own all as a benefit of the
communal nature of the product. It's all food for thought, IMO. 

Happy New Year!

I think we're seeing the last years of the mega-corps running the music 
business and it's just possible that sometime within the next decade, 
we'll see the music business changing back to an emphasis on, believe

Perhaps then we'll see musicians that can play doing well as opposed to

What problem are you trying to solve? When CUPS is running and I open
the File/Print dialog box in IW, I am automatically given the

PostScript/Default are all available from the drop-down list.

I've considered this situation many times over.  All the tools I use are 
open source.  I avoid closed source programs whenever possible and have 
been quite keen to build my business on a grounds that I consider 
ethical and moral.

My first post on this thread was in response to someone making what I 
consider a quite foolish statement that, essentially, closed source 
software was unethical.  I know some people respect (such as RMS) say 
that, but I also think it's a statement that's more easily made by 
people who get nice tidy paychecks and aren't the ones who have to 
figure out how to do the marketing.

I create a song or movie or any other IP work, I made it.  Just as if I 
put the effort into making a chair or a car or anything else.  It's up 
to me to decide what I do with it and how I'll find a way to get 
rewarded for my work.  If I want to sell it as closed source software, 
I have every right to do it.  If someone doesn't like it, then they 
don't have to buy it or deal with it.

On the flip side, I do contribute to FOSS projects and hope, when this 
work is done, that any programming I do later will all be FOSS, but for 
now, I have the task of earning a living to deal with as well.

  It would level the playing field if everyone were on the same
  field. They're not.

 true.

I think eventually we'll see more open source than closed source, but 
over the past 25 years or so, it seems the innovations have been made 
in closed source, then emulated in open source.  There are advantages 
to different business models.

Problems with hp-toolbox (hplip 2.7.10-5)

2008-01-01 Thread Todd A. Jacobs
After a recent upgrade to a recent version of hplip and hplip-gui, my
Debian Linux system can still print to the printer, but I have lost the
ability to use hp-toolbox. The CUPS printing system sees the printer,
says it's online, and prints just fine, but any attempts to use the
toolbox, or utilities like hp-sendfax, now tell me No Installed HP
Devices Found.

Since I can print to it, the problem seems likely to be in the way
hp-toolbox is reading (or not reading) the CUPS configuration, right?
Has anyone else experienced this? How can I troubleshoot this further?
