Hi,
A friend of mine is having difficulties compiling (building) the tcl/tk
package under SuSE 9.
It seems like the package is missing some header files.
does anyone have an idea ?

Hi,
my brother-in-law has as new installation of SuSE 9.3, with current
online updates (via YOU), on a classic x86 system.
His printer is an HP PSC 2110 all-in-one device.
Scanning works fine, no trouble there, but I can't seem to get
printing to work (it did fine with the older 8.3 installation).
The device is detected automatically by YaST, as psc2100series,
HP PSC 2110, PPD file HP PSC 2110 Foomatic/hpijs, connection
HP All-in-One Device /usb/PSC_2100_Series
I tried both the hpijs and gimp-print PPDs, no success.
I'd have tried configuration or at least more testing via CUPS in
http://localhost:631, but unlike Debian GNU/Linux systems, this one
doesn't take the root / rootpassword as authentication.
Any ideas on what to try?
Greetings & TIA, Eric
Hi all,
I have trouble with setting up an nfs export... (/me ashamed)
My uids/gids are not in sync between both boxes, so normally, as I
understood the manpage, I can specify that the nfs connetion will be
forced to a certain local (server point of view) uid and gid, as the
exports-line below shows:
/home/yves pc-yves2(sync,rw,all_squash,anonuid=123,anongid=234)
But, when I mount this export from pc-yves2, I see the permissions of
the directory in which I mounted it with uid=1163 and gid=33 ...?!?
I restarted nfs-kernel-server, nfs-common, portmap on the server but it
did not help
I have to add that I, in my first version of the exports file, used
anonuid=1163. But then I changed to 123 for testing but it seems to
cache that damned 1163 somewhere.
What's wrong here?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
possibly for a future conference, but also to simply play around,
I'd like to study the quite large field of VoIP (voice over IP),
IM (instant messaging), video conferencing, if possibly everything
out of the same box (which might be interesting for, say, internal
use in an organisation).
My experience so far is limited to plain IRC and once-upon-a-time
a bit of ICQ, Google provides rather too much information at once.
Starting with hardware: can anyone recommend specific stuff like
headset, webcam etc. that will work under GNU/Linux, preferrably
with free (as in liberty) drivers?
VideoConf / a/v IM: is there specific software to recommend for
this task? At first sight, there's rather few IM clients that
implement audio/video stuff for instance, even if there's special
clients for 1-on-1 "video phone". Preferrably, clients should
support multiple protocols / providers, and be multi-platform -
at least interact with other, proprietary clients.
I've started looking at clients like kopete, gaim, kphone.
What about the server end? For VoIP the usual suspect would be
asterisk plus a few others, for IM there's always IRC, jabber, ...?
For the tests, I guess I won't need VoIP access to the normal
phone system, but it might be interesting if it can be implemented
via a simple ISDN line [possibly using a few MSNs], or via a (cheap)
external provider to which one could connect the local VoIP server.
I'll certainly check out VoIP articles in one of the past german
LinuxMagazin, which had a special not too long ago.
The interesting thing here would be some sort of integration of
VoIP and IM (address books etc.).
I do want to use open standards, so Skype is out (but still might
be fun to test).
I guess I needn't mention that all should be FOSS, and shouldn't
lead to hefty expenses for telephony providers etc.
Bandwidth use is less critical, but will be interesting to test
for (i.e. use as little as possible for decent quality).
Thanks for any interesting input!
Greetings, Eric
Hi there!
I've got a rather annoying problem on my debian unstable:
My keyboard layout is not set up properly under X, it behaves like an
"us" while it should be an "fr_CH". This of course results in the fact
that I cannot write umlauts, special characters like "at" or brackets or
any stuff like that. Alt-Gr doesn't work, etc.
I had the same problem on an other machine, where it was resolved by
running setxkbmap at X startup.
However, on my machine setxkbmap gives the following error:
juri@earth:~$ setxkbmap
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xb7fa1cc0 ***
Aborted
Well, I googled around without being able to find any solution, my
XF86Config is set up correctly.
What does he mean with "Use defaults: rules - 'xorg'", I don't use Xorg?!
Also I fiddled around in /etc/X11/xkb/rules which didn't help anything
except me deleting all the files there. I reinstalled the xlibs and
xlibs-data, but the files are still missing. So if somebody would be so
kind to tar them up and send them to me, I would appreciate it.
Thanks on advance

Fluxbox, so no own keyboard settings.
Here's the relevant part of my XF86Config:
---------------------
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr_CH"
EndSection
---------------------
Worked fine for quite a while.

No, but there's an Ubuntu package also usable for deb. I once tried to
install... What a mess. It got 2 or 3 cool features like transparency
and stuff, but it broke with my nvidia drivers. Not very mature yet if
you ask me. It's more a licence-philosophy issue anyway.

That's what I did. xkb is in the xlibs package.
Googling around gave me the feeling that it more like an old bug that
had been solved once but mysteriously reappered. Especially the
"Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property" error points more to a
bug than to a configuration mistake.
And as I didn't change any config it must have come with a sys upgrade.
As I already said, I had the same problem on an other machine, but
setxkbmap solved it.

I have not tested it, so there may be errors (my self compiled kernel at
home does not support iproute2).
Let say, you have 3 network cards with the following IP addresses:
eth0: 192.168.0.2/24
eth1: 192.168.1.2/24
eth2: 192.168.2.2/24
eth0 is connected to your company's network. eth1 and eth2 are connected
to 2 different internet providers. The gateway is 192.168.1.1 for eth1
and 192.168.2.1 for eth2.
Assuming you want to route mail over eth1 and web access over eth2, you
would do the following:
Mark all packets for mail routing:
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -j MARK --set-mark 0x01
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth0 --dport 25 -j MARK --set-mark 0x01
Mark all packets for web access:
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth2 -j MARK --set-mark 0x02
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth0 --dport 80 -j MARK --set-mark 0x02
Populate routing table 1 (for eth1):
ip route add 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 table 1
ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth1 metric 1 table 1
Populate routing table 2 (for eth2):
ip route add 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 table 2
ip route add default via 192.168.2.1 dev eth2 metric 1 table 2
Populate the rule table to send all packets marked "0x01" to routing
table 1:
ip rule add fwmark 0x01 table 1
Populate the rule table to send all packets marked "0x02" to routing
table 2:
ip rule add fwmark 0x02 table 2

I moved to OOo 2.0 because of the better MS office compatibility while I was
at university. Before that I was using Koffice, which I find much faster
and it has a far more intuitive layout than openoffice (I also prefer Abi
Word to OOo). So, the switch back shouldn't be a major deal. I just have
this one last paper to get out....

Hey guys, I am working with a relatively large document in openoffice 1.9x and
am trying to insert a table of contents. If I insert one, it automatically
detects and adjusts the table of contents for each section that I use heading
level 1-5 on. However, whenever I reopen the document and try to update the
table of contents, it deletes all entries in the table of contents that were
there before I updated it. To get these entries back, I have to reapply the
formatting to every heading that I have. Since I already have roughly 30
headings that I want in the Table of Contents, it is rather annoying.
Does anyone know what the problem might be, or should I go back to Koffice?

Hi,
We have a firewall at work that runs sarge. It also makes the connection
to the internet, it has a dsl and a cable connection.
We want to balance the traffic over these 2 connections, port based.
E.g. http and ftp over ppp0 (dsl) and all the rest over the cable
connection.
What would be the best way to achieve this?
Regards,
Yves
