Very Important !

by Thierry Coutelier

This Friday (14th of May) we organize a demonstration in front of the Ministére de l'Économie (Boulvard Royal) in Luxembourg City. It is very important that everyone comes at least for half an hour. There is no good excuse not to come. If Free Software, Open Source and Linux is not reason enough think of your jobs. In the US most of the SMEs involved in software development export their work to countries that do not have software patents just because they are scared of being sued. Do we want that in Europe ? WE are a power that is able to change things before this happens here. WE where able to get the parliament to vote for limiting amendments that will make pure software not patentable. With the council text there will be no OpenOffice, no Samba, no mplayer and no Linux any more. WE have to tell our government to support those amendments and to not let the council decide. This is a democracy and they have to be remembered of that. YOU can make it change by just spending a few hours to help.

on/off problems with IP

by Serge Marelli

Hi, I normally access the Net via the cable. Sometimes, when I boot my computer, I don't have an IP address. This is usually because for one reason or the other I've unplugged my cable-modem. So I plug the modem back in and... nada... still no IP (even if I wait). So I usually have to reboot :( My question : is there a way to force the system to recognize that the network (cable-modem) plugged to eth0 is back up and that it should request an IP address (via DHCP)? Would something like ~ # ifconfig eth0 down ~ # ifconfig eth0 up work? Do I have to specify anything to let it know it should use DHCP to get the IP adress or will it find that info in one of the config files? (which one for my education?) Will ipchains or other firewall be affected? Since there was no net on that card at boot time, were the rules concerning this card enabled? I may try this before I get an answer, but I'd like to know if there may be some unforeseen side-effects. thanks Serge -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Serge Marelli, Luxembourg E-mail : serge.marelli(a)linux.lu ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LiLux, Luxembourg LUG : http://www.linux.lu/ Defending Innovation against Patent Inflation http://swpat.ffii.org/

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
