For Sale: Alpha PWS 600AU
by Phillip G Deneault Jan. 19, 2006

Jan. 19, 2006

600mhz Alpha with 384megs of ram. On board sound and LAN. This is a REAL AU model, with the qlogic SCSI card and the powerstorm video card(in case you wanted to run OpenVMS). I would recommend using a different video card or using the serial console for anything BSD or Linux. I believe it has a 9 gig SCSI disk in it, but I've suplemented it with a 50gig IDE drive on the IDE chain. I've also replaced the IDE CD-ROM with an 68-pin SCSI CD-ROM(yes, thats right, 68-pin). I also have all … [View More]

Printing Photos - cropping in gimp 2.0
by John Stoffel Nov. 4, 2005

Nov. 4, 2005

Hi All, Thanks for the input I recieved here, I've bought an Epson R300 color printer for making photos. Once I figured out that the debian package for libcupsys has the permissions borked for the files in /usr/lib/cups/backend so that they aren't executable, all is well. I've been happily browsing images in 'gqview', then loading them into gimp 2.0, then printing them. But I'm having issues with scaling images. I have to guess how/where to crop the images so that I can get the maximum … [View More]

System hang woes continue
by Andy Stewart Oct. 31, 2005

Oct. 31, 2005

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI gang, I think I somehow built the computer from Hell. Recall my dual Opteron box with SuSE 9.2 and 1 GB of memory. I removed every SATA device from my system, and now it doesn't hang as often, but it still hangs periodically. This time I got 10 days of uptime before it hung - a new world's record on this particular box. Strangely enough, I could demonstrate more uptime with the "old" SATA code than with libata - go figure. I am suspicious … [View More]

Hi all, I need some help! I bought a USB to Serial/parrallel adaptor (IBM 22P5298). Fedora 4 seems to see it in /proc/bus/usb/devices but when I try to hotsync my palm, no connection results.

Re: Attach File(s) problem
by Ken Jones Oct. 25, 2005

Oct. 25, 2005

Thank you all!! re: mozilla-mail Attach File(s) hung up my Fedora 3 machine. The culprit was gamin as Chuck Anderson had suggested. 'yum info' told me that there is a more recent version for Fedora 3. 'yum upgrade' installed that more recent version. The problem seems to have disappeared. Ain't open source grande! Chuck, how did you know about gam_server? Ken Jones

Andy I have a question...
by Ken Jones Oct. 24, 2005

Oct. 24, 2005

I am embarrassed to admit that I do not know how to figure this out. I am having a problem with both mozilla-mail and evolution-mail mozilla-mail and evolution-mail both use the same process to "Attach file(s)". When I try to attach a file my Fedora Core 3 machine is toooo slow. It ties up the machine for minutes at a time. If I try to move the GUI is smears. "top" does not indicate lack of memory or lack of cpu cycles. I have not had any luck googling for others who have seen this … [View More]

Re: automounting

> I'm interested in the automounter. I would be very nice to have my jumpdrive mount when I plug it in. Also, if anybody knows udev... I managed to just set up automounting on my gentoo box, via some udev rules, HAL, D-BUS and a neat little app called ivman. Ivman will detect when new devices are plugged in and create a new entry in fstab if there isn't already an acceptable one (it'll remove the entry when the device is not connected); it can also be set up to do some more interesting … [View More]
