postscript printing problems with suse 9.1

by Kymon MacDaire

greetings, i installed my printer (hp laserjet 1200 on a router with print server) with yast ( "Geraete-URI: Gefilterte Weiterleitungswarteschlange nach HP auf LPD-Server 192.168.0.1) and printed a test page using text and a picture, and it worked perfectly. also printing from openoffice works like a charm. but when i try to print a .ps file, instead of the document, i get a printed error message: "the postscript interpreter in your printer is 2014.116. this printout requires at least version 2015 or greater." it goes on recommending to change the output to basic level 2. does anyone know this error message, or how to configure the printing system to use level 2? best regards, kymon

directory entries - how to get a close look

by Eric Dondelinger

Hi guys, I'm currently preparing a course (for tomorrow, it's almost done). In this course, I explain the classic UNIX filesystem (stuff like inodes etc.). Now, I'd like to show the students "live" what the directory entries look like - they are files containing a table with the relation inode number to filename. IIRC it used to be that you could simply open such a file and look at the raw contents (hexdump or whatever) - this though doesn't work any more, if I try to open a directory directly with vi, cat, less, hexdump, xxd, od, it doesn't work. Does someone have an idea how I could get a close look at such a directory entry? Maybe how to directly access an inode, without going through the filename? [inode numbers can be had by using ls -i, I'd have liked to directly look at the directory entry itself]. I asked around the office, the usual suspects have as little ideas as I do... Greets & thanks in advance, Eric

TFT rotating screen

by Mike Pressel

Hi All, I have just bought a shiny new TFT monitor for my home PC. It is one of the SAMSUNG monitors that can rotate 90 degrees so that the display is in portrait instead of landscape mode. Although this isn't the reason that I bought it, it would be a nice feature to use when writing papers. Does anyone know how I can change the orientation (rotate 90 degrees) of either X or KDE to take advantage of this pivot screen? I haven't been able to dig anything up on Google, but I have found that there is an option in the KDE control center to rotate the screen. Unfortunately, all options except for "normal" are inactive :( Mike

ARD Ratgeber Technik

by Eric Dondelinger

Hi, it seems the german TV channel ARD had something on Linux. Here's their link (all in german) about this: <http://www.ndrtv.de/ratgebertechnik/themen/20040418_linux.html> I can't say I like what I read there... much of it ist just plain wrong, or bad journalism. I hate such disinformation. Greets Eric

suse8.1 yast and ftp help needed

by Jay Christnach

Hi all, I'm helping a friend who does web-development and is not very linux-aware to administer his server. The server runs a suse 8.1 distro. I'm not used to the suse way of package installation. Initially the server has been setup using cds but we have no (easy) physical acces to it, so I wanted to configure yast to download the rpms via ftp and manage dependencies to ease installation/ maintenance. The problem is when I tell yast to use a ftp server with the directory which I found on the suse webpages (e.g. ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/) I only get an error message "No Installation source on installation media" . Does anybody know how to setup yast on suse to work with ftp?
