The kernels built with the Slackware 2.0 package shipped in the
|
|
current Infomagic CDROM is using the old drivers. They are not
|
|
compatible with the current released code.
|
|
|
|
The kernel.tgz file has been updated some weeks ago (Jul 10, I
|
|
believe) to correct the problem. Copies of Slackware 2.0 obtained
|
|
after that date are just fine for PPP.
|
|
|
|
Please do not use ppp-2.1.2.tar.gz. Use ppp-2.1.2a.tar.gz. The "a"
|
|
modification is there for a reason. The first release of the pppd
|
|
process caused an error that the SIOCSIOSIG ioctl was invalid.
|
|
|
|
Other than that, you will have to be more explicit than "unable to get
|
|
PPP to work". What is in the syslog trace for the pppd process? What
|
|
version of the kernel are you using?

First, I fail to see why you must use GD in a net posting. I see no need
|
|
for you to post your lack of respect for God.
|
|

Second, the original poster was questioning the relevancy of Doom postings

to comp.os.linux.admin, an issue you failed to address.

Try gslp. It should be included in the ghostscript distribution; try
|
|
running gslp or looking at /usr/lib/ghostscript/gslp.ps. The
|
|
documentation is almost nonexistent, but try out the options yourself...
|
|
|
|
There are other similar programs too; look at the
|
|
comp.sources.postscript FAQ (FTP rtfm.mit.edu:
|
|
/pub/usenet/comp.sources.postscript).

Hmm... What are the permissions for /dev/lp1?
|
|
Can you cat or echo to it? (i.e. echo Testing >/dev/lp1)
|
|
|
|
Anyway, I suggest installing lpr, it's much more convenient to use. Look
|
|
into the Printing-HOWTO for details...

I had the exact same problem trying to compile 1.1.18. I decided

to jump ahead to 1.1.45 since it was available as a tar file. I had

no trouble compiling 1.1.45.

Subject: BBS-like file downloading? How?
|

Date: Fri, 23 Sep 1994 15:27:24 GMT
|
|
|
|
|
|
There's been talk before on another thread (which has now mutated
|
|
into some other topic) about getting some sort of BBS-like
|
|
file-downloading system working under Linux for those of us running a BBS.
|
|
|
|
Several of you had some idea's I'd like to explore now. I tried
|
|
using PSC Menu (which I'm using as my main interface for users), but it
|
|
was too awkward.
|
|
|
|
I have a CD-ROM, which I'd like to give users access (once I put
|
|
a shareware disc in.) What I need is something to make it easier for them
|
|
to select files, a protocol, and show them descriptions of what each file
|
|
is (without having them view a "directory" file.) Anyone have any ideas?
|
|
How is Gopher or Lynx used this way? Is anyone currently porting a MSDOS
|
|
"file door" to Linux (which I think would be ideal.)

Subject: PPP install and setup
|
|
Date: 23 Sep 1994 18:27:31 GMT
|
|
|
|
I am running the 1.1.49 kernel of Linux. I got 2.1.2a of ppp from the
|
|
net and built and installed.
|
|
|
|
Now the questions:
|
|
There are files that are referenced in /etc/ppp, but I can't find
|
|
examples of the files...
|
|
There are many readme and SETUP, Notes, etc files, but they all seem
|
|
to talk about what is needed to setup/install ppp and what needs to
|
|
be done withour reference to the others.... I am confused,,,
|
|
|
|
(My Linux box will use a modem to call a Sun [SunOS 1.4.*]. The Sun will
|
|
have separate entries in the /etc/passwd for different ppp dialups. Then
|
|
when the system connects, a person can run csh (or your favorite) or exec
|
|
a script for the person dialing up to run ppp. The Sun is connected to
|
|
a network that that is 'hooked' to Internet. The goal is is to have my
|
|
Linux box 'on the net' using ppp.... easy huh?
|
|
|
|
Any help on getting PPP running is appreciated.

I'm trying to setup this WD90c33 also with no luck. The best so far
|
|
was forcing the SVGA server to think the card was a WD90c30 (Non Accel)
|
|
in 640x480 and still the image wasn't perfect. I like to make it work
|
|
with the WD90c31 accelerated option of this server.
|
|
|
|
How about if some one would post a working Xconfig for this card.

Subject: Help : Still having printer problems
|
|
Date: Sun, 25 Sep 1994 13:08:20

|
|
I have been trying to get my HP Deskjet 520 to work for about
|
|
three weeks now. Thanks to kind folks on the net I have a collection of
|
|
printcaps and filters. I have read the printer how-to from cover to cover and
|
|
have read portions of a UNIX systems administration book. I have tried
|
|
recompiling the kernel of slackware ver 2.0, several different printcaps and
|
|
filters and even changed jumpers for my parallel port.
|
|
The same problem occurs no matter which of these methods I try:
|
|
|
|
1. The kernel polls the printer port as lp1
|
|
2. The printer will print when output is redirected "ls > /dev/lp1"
|
|
3. The printer daemon will not start with /dev/lp1 in the printcap
|
|
4. The printer daemon will start with /dev/lp2 in the printcap, but
|
|
tells me that it is waiting for the printer to come on line.
|
|
|
|
This problem also occurs if my printer port is set for lp0, only I must set
|
|
the printcap entry to /dev/lp1 to start the daemon. Lp1 is at 0x378 and lp0
|
|
is at 0x3bc when the hardware card is set for either one. I only have one
|
|
parallel port. My best guess is that lpd is messed up or one or more of my
|
|
device drivers is messed up. I you could help I would appreciate. Please keep
|
|
in mind that I'm an idiot when it comes to device drivers, sockets, etc..
|
|

Thanks,

Is it worthed to buy one of those card to drive my jumbo 205MB tb?
|
|
|
|
Would that provide me with transparent hardware compression? better that
|
|
gzip?
|
|
|
|
My current configuration:
|
|
|
|
486dx50 EISA
|
|
Adaptec 1742A (enhanced, floppy enabled)
|
|
|
|
Also would that allow me to use my floppies while doing a backup?
|
|
|
|
Seems that after using my tape, I often get problems (SF, mtab~,,,) with
|
|
the floppies.
|
|
|

thanks
