Unfortunately I have little experience of CUPS, even less experience of CUPS on Debian and I'm having difficulty finding the documentation (assuming it exists) about using CUPS remotely. Idealy, I'd like to use the BSD-style lpr command set on the laptop, cos it's nearly a decade since I last used the System V stuff which the default Debian CUPS packages use. I already have the print server itself set up to use the BSD command set. Both machines are on the same network segment and I have no problems with networking or running any other service on the print server. So, my first questions are: 1. Does anyone know which Debian packages I need to install on my laptop (the package descriptions are not very enlightening)? 2. Can anyone point me to documentation about how to configure CUPS print servers to authenticate users and accept jobs from other machines?

Cups is cracking, and very easy to use. Easiest way, is to edit /etc/cups/client.conf, and set the servername to be that of your cups server. You don't have to run a daemon on your client machine that way. At your server end you'll need to make an entry for access: Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 Allow From yon.laptop You probably also want to put an identical entry in the /jobs section to allow you to delete/query jobs. Then the cups lpr/lpq/lprm etc should work fine. Yell if you've still got problems. > 1.

This will split a multipage TIFF into separate TIFF files for each page: tiffsplit foo.tiff The output files will be called xaa.tif, xab.tif and so on. That program is found in the Debian package 'libtiff-tools'.

There are no kernel sources in the usual /usr/src/linux directory. The kernel sources are put somewhere relative to the `pwd` of the build script. The problem is that when I see the #include statement, the compiler is trying to get the headers from /usr/include/linux/limits.h Unfortunately the /usr/include/linux is a symbolic link to /usr/src/linux/include/linux which doesn't exist on my build system :( So, the build fails. I can solve some of my problems using the C_INCLUDE_PATH env var. But, I cannot find a way of influencing where to get the /usr/include/linux headers. I know I can mess about with the /usr/src/linux symbolic link from within the build script, but I want to build this stuff as a regular user - not root. I was also hoping to find an easy solution like C_INCLUDE_PATH. Any ideas?

Just removing all power management will be fine the server is always on, and not to critical.

You need to ensure that the password for the users you're logged in as on the windows box matches the password Samba has. For instance, if you're logged in on the windows box as percy (and typed the password 'freddy') Samba needs to know that the password for percy is freddy too. * If you're running anything later than Windows 95, ensure that encrypted passwords are enabled on the Samba server. That's likely to be the default, but check it anyway in Swat. Also make sure that smbpasswd has the password for the user crypted up and ready to go. Those are likely to be the first ports of fsckup. Once they're sorted out, if the problem doesn't solve itself, we'll go onto more esoteric things. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #include Matthew Palmer, Geek In Residence http://ieee.uow.edu.au/~mjp16 From danielwalker@fastmail.fm Wed Jun 25 12:57:49 2003 Received: from www.fastmail.fm ([66.111.4.2]:44299) by exim-colo-01.whoc.theplanet.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.20) id 19V8uK-0003Gr-FT for wylug-help@wylug.org.uk; Wed, 25 Jun 2003 12:57:48 +0100 Received: from www.fastmail.fm (server1.internal [10.202.2.132]) by localhost.localdomain (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2616237235 for ; Wed, 25 Jun 2003 07:57:45 -0400 (EDT) Received: from 127.0.0.1 ([127.0.0.1] helo=www.fastmail.fm) by messagingengine.com with SMTP; Wed, 25 Jun 2003 07:57:45 -0400 X-Epoch: 1056542265 X-Sasl-enc: ax5BFmGr36WB3ewALfttvw Received: from devserv.ewitness.ltd.uk (userfd102.dsl.pipex.com [62.190.123.102]) by www.fastmail.fm (Postfix) with ESMTP id 77E512AA85 for ; Wed, 25 Jun 2003 07:57:44 -0400 (EDT) From: Dan Walker Reply-To: danielwalker@fastmail.fm To: "WYLUG-Help" Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2003 13:00:15 +0100 User-Agent: KMail/1.5 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Description: clearsigned data Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200306251300.28718.danielwalker@fastmail.fm> content-transfer-encoding: 7bit content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Subject: [Wylug-help] PartImage * Disk cloning Sender: wylug-help-admin@wylug.org.uk Errors-To: wylug-help-admin@wylug.org.uk X-BeenThere: wylug-help@wylug.org.uk X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: WYLUG self help list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Does anyone have any experience with partimage?

If you have no other alternative, transcode can fix it, but it ought to have the world record for interface inconsistency and manpage unintelligibility.

The system is a Dell Poweredge 2400 with a perc/2 RAID controller. It has 3 SCSI disks configured as RAID 5. When booting from the installation CD the megaraid driver for the RAID controller is installed after the aacraid driver for the SCSI drives. When installing, looking in the 4th console while installing the drive appears to be correctly detected as a single 18GB drive, and I can boot from a boot disk and mount the contents of /dev/sda without problems. However, the kernel panics on boot: grsec: attempted resource overstep by requesting 4096 for RLIMIT_CORE against limit 0 by (linuxrc:8) UID (0) EUID (0), parent (sqapeer:1) UID (0) EUID (0) kmod: faild to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-72, error = 2 VFS: Cannot open root device "/dev/sda5" or 08:05 please apped a correct "root=" boot option kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 08:05 I've checked the GRUB boot config and all is OK (root is indeed on /dev/sda5). I'm not sure of the meaning of the grsec message, but the modprobe message is ?? possibly the megaraid module failing to load ?? Using Redhat 9 on the same hardware both the aacraid module and the megaraid module are loaded before the root filesystem is mounted. Openna's /etc/modules.conf contains only: alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx Whereas Redhat's also contains alias scsi_hostadapter megaraid So I've added it, but no joy. The megaraid module is on the system under /lib/modules/... Any ideas?

This was due to the SCSI controllers objecting to being tweaked on boot. The fix was to put a flag into the boot options to stop it. In lilo.conf, this was a clause append="aic7xxx=no_reset" Hope this helps.

Your pppd setup is rejecting both. and so I think the link is being closed down. You need to set VJ (header) compression.

I run wine /cdrom/setup.exe and the installation process starts, and fails because it does not see one of the files on the cdrom. so I cd to /cdrom, and run wine setup.exe This runs, I go through the options screens, and it seems to install the stuff off CD1. It stops, and asks me to insert CD2. I cannot eject the CD 'cos it is mounted. I cannot umount the CD because it is active with the install process.

I have tried forcing an unmount (umount -f) and ejecting the cd the crude way with a paperclip, but is still will not correctly read the second cd until it has been cleanly umounted and mounted.

I have no idea about this, but if you force an eject somehow, and then use mount -o remount /dev/cdrom /cdrom You might manage it. The other thing is to write a batch file that logs to "D:" and runs setup, that might work, as the "DOS Drive D:" might not mark as in use the directory /cdrom.

I messed around with winex a while back, and had no such problems when installing multi-CD games - maybe you should try winex to see if it solves your problem. http://www.transgaming.com/ The CVS details are here http://www.transgaming.com/sources.php The game I tried was GTA:Vice City (damn it's a good game!), but I only tried it for the novelty value on my linux box, as my Windows machine has a gamepad and better graphics card (sorry people, but some games need a gamepad, and I didn't fancy trying to get it working under linux!).

Hopefully the setup program will be smart enough not to ask for the next CD if it finds the files already there.

If it makes sense to put all the images on your "images server" then it seems entirely reasonable to serve thumbnails from there. Just using simple HTTP requests would be the easiest way of implementing that, and I can't see any advantage for more complicated things. The advantage of HTTP is that it's nice and simple and well known. You can test it with a browser, or wget, or GET, and implement with anything from a shell CGI script to fancy mod_perl stuff. > Has anyone done such a thing already? > > Is there a better way of achieving our aim? > > Any suggestions as to what would make the most sensible way of > implementing the image service and communicating between these > systems? > > Thanks for any suggestions, > > Felix. -- --- Geoff Richards -------------><-------------- http://ungwe.org/ --- "I tried to fling my shadow at the moon, The while my blood leapt with a wordless song." -- Theodore Roethke From gary.stainburn@ringways.co.uk Wed Jul 16 11:04:43 2003 Received: from hub.ringways.co.uk ([213.38.87.130]:61913 helo=stan.ringways.co.uk ident=fwuser) by exim-colo-01.whoc.theplanet.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.20) id 19cj9P-0007Hz-MK for wylug-help@wylug.org.uk; Wed, 16 Jul 2003 11:04:43 +0100 Received: from gary.ringways.co.uk ([10.1.1.2]) by stan.ringways.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 3.22 #1) id 19cj8T-0001qp-00; Wed, 16 Jul 2003 11:03:45 +0100 From: Gary Stainburn Organization: Ringways Garages Ltd To: Felix Ulrich-Oltean , wylug-help@wylug.org.uk Subject: Re: [Wylug-help] Image manipulation service/server Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2003 11:04:02 +0100 User-Agent: KMail/1.4.3 References: <20030715082745.GA19375@chaptereight.com> In-Reply-To: <20030715082745.GA19375@chaptereight.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <200307161104.02797.gary.stainburn@ringways.co.uk> content-transfer-encoding: 7bit content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Sender: wylug-help-admin@wylug.org.uk Errors-To: wylug-help-admin@wylug.org.uk X-BeenThere: wylug-help@wylug.org.uk X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: WYLUG self help list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: On Tuesday 15 Jul 2003 9:27 am, Felix Ulrich-Oltean wrote: > Hi > > We have a number of systems (in Python, Perl and PHP) which all need > to process images uploaded by users.

Hi Felix, we've got a wrapper for one of our systems which generates missing thumbnails for all images in a directory. It should be a doddle to amend this to embed it in an upload CGI so that it then generates the thumbnail and returns a URL to it. It uses Image Magick and the image Magick perl module. Gary #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use Image::Magick; my $im = Image::Magick->new; umask 0022; # if passed filenames use them, otherwise do all my @names = @ARGV ? @ARGV : grep { -f and -B } <*>; for (@names) { # foreach name if (/ /) { # if name contains a space my $old = $_; tr, ,_,s; # change spaces to _ $_ .= ".jpg" unless /\.jpg$/; # append .jpg if missing ! -e and rename $old, $_ or next; # skip file if rename fails warn "renaming $old to $_\n"; } next if /\.thumb\.jpg$/; # skip if this is thumbnail my $thumb = "$_.thumb.jpg"; next if -e $thumb; # skip if thumbnail exists undef @$im; # reset (part of) $im my $ret; $ret = $im->Read($_) # read file and warn($ret), next; # or fail and skip $ret = $im->Scale(geometry => '100x100') and warn($ret), next; $ret = $im->Write($thumb) and warn($ret), next; warn "thumbnail made for $_\n"; } > > _______________________________________________ > Wylug-help mailing list > Wylug-help@wylug.org.uk > http://list.wylug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/wylug-help -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 From jj@comp.leeds.ac.uk Thu Jul 17 10:18:58 2003 Received: from csunb0.leeds.ac.uk ([129.11.144.2]:3992) by exim-colo-01.whoc.theplanet.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.20) id 19d4uf-0001Ci-KM for wylug-help@wylug.org.uk; Thu, 17 Jul 2003 10:18:57 +0100 Received: from csunix.leeds.ac.uk (cserv1.leeds.ac.uk [129.11.144.20]) by csunb0.leeds.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.6.12) with ESMTP id KAA25648; Thu, 17 Jul 2003 10:08:52 +0100 (BST) Received: from cslin120.csunix.comp.leeds.ac.uk (cslin120.csunix.comp [129.11.146.120]) by csunix.leeds.ac.uk (8.12.2/) with ESMTP id h6H98q0n023081; Thu, 17 Jul 2003 10:08:52 +0100 (BST) Received: from localhost (jj@localhost) by cslin120.csunix.comp.leeds.ac.uk (8.11.6/8.11.2) with ESMTP id h6H98qI22970; Thu, 17 Jul 2003 10:08:52 +0100 X-Authentication-Warning: cslin120.csunix.comp.leeds.ac.uk: jj owned process doing -bs Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2003 10:08:32 +0100 (BST) From: Jim Jackson X-X-Sender: jj@cslin120.csunix.comp.leeds.ac.uk To: Felix Ulrich-Oltean cc: wylug-help@wylug.org.uk Subject: Re: [Wylug-help] Image manipulation service/server In-Reply-To: <20030715082745.GA19375@chaptereight.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 content-transfer-encoding: 7bit content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Sender: wylug-help-admin@wylug.org.uk Errors-To: wylug-help-admin@wylug.org.uk X-BeenThere: wylug-help@wylug.org.uk X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: WYLUG self help list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Being a bit of an oldfashioned sort of guy, my first thought was use email. send the image as an attachment to an address, and process the email to create the thumbnail etc, and return the output via email.

Try doing something like exim -d -bt myuser@your.dom.ain Nigel. -- [ Nigel Metheringham Nigel.Metheringham@InTechnology.co.uk ] [ - Comments in this message are my own and not ITO opinion/policy - ] From hick@gink.org Thu Jul 17 13:21:38 2003 Received: from stum.gink.org ([62.25.64.84]:59235) by exim-colo-01.whoc.theplanet.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.20) id 19d7lR-0006vS-Ro for wylug-help@wylug.org.uk; Thu, 17 Jul 2003 13:21:37 +0100 Received: from hick (helo=localhost) by stum.gink.org with local-esmtp (Exim 4.20) id 19d7lR-0002Nu-Au for wylug-help@wylug.org.uk; Thu, 17 Jul 2003 13:21:37 +0100 Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2003 13:21:37 +0100 (BST) From: gARetH baBB To: WYLUG Help Subject: Re: [Wylug-help] exim/vacation problem on RH73 In-Reply-To: <200307171303.42964.gary.stainburn@ringways.co.uk> Message-ID: References: <200307170934.50666.gary.stainburn@ringways.co.uk> <200307171303.42964.gary.stainburn@ringways.co.uk> MIME-Version: 1.0 content-transfer-encoding: 7bit content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Sender: wylug-help-admin@wylug.org.uk Errors-To: wylug-help-admin@wylug.org.uk X-BeenThere: wylug-help@wylug.org.uk X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: WYLUG self help list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: On Thu, 17 Jul 2003, Gary Stainburn wrote: > This was set when I first configured exim, from reading docs etc. If I > remember rightly, it was a security thing.

I'm presuming you've restarted exim. Else you're using a pipe under aliasfile and not forwardfile for the .forward - aliasfile doesn't have check_local_user to set the user.

Ours does have some problems feeding (second page trimmed at top, sometimes thinks it's out of paper, but not sure if these probs are due to the retrofit, the model or the family. We use it on the USB connetion, but ours definately has both interfaces, USB worked, so I didn't have to venture too far to find a cable. Also some later Epsons have microchipped cartridges to force you to buy Epson ink, so check the model (I think they call it Intelligink or some other poor pun on smart!).
