Well, maybe one more sparc64 question....

by Ken Jones

Jamie, That posting you sent me is definitely my bug. The only difference is the revision level of media-libs-mesa. The poster claims that his problems were fixed with a emerge --sync the following morning. I have not been so lucky. -------------You and the bug report told me to eselect opengl. I did and this is what I get. kjones-sun2 temp # eselect opengl set xorg-x11 shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent dir ectories: No such file or directory !!! Error: Can't load module opengl Killed kjones-sun2 temp # ----------I then looked for a relationship between opengl and xorg-x11. kjones-sun2 temp # locate opengl | grep x11 /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11 /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/include /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/include/glxtokens.h /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/include/glxmd.h /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/include/glxproto.h kjones-sun2 temp # --------The posting also asked that I check glxproto.h as a logical link. kjones-sun2 temp # ls -l /usr/include/GL/glxproto.h ls: cannot access /usr/include/GL/glxproto.h: No such file or directory kjones-sun2 temp # --------So I just tried to find glxproto.h. It is real and 75729 bytes in size... kjones-sun2 temp # locate glxproto.h /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/include/glxproto.h kjones-sun2 temp # kjones-sun2 temp # ls -l /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/include/glxproto.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 75729 May 23 18:14 /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/include/glxpr oto.h That seems very interesting and pertinent. I have not the faintest idea what is going on. Do you understand?? Do you know what I need to do to get xorg-x11 installed? Ken Jones

Re: [Wlug] Cups, FC6, and networks, oh MY!

by Gregory Avedissian

I've got a 4L that's connected to my linux box, and I share out the printer using samba. With debian etch, I had to manually edit a couple of the cups files, but in sarge, I didn't have to do that. If you want details, I'll have to drag out my notes. Greg Bill Smith wrote: > I have recently acquired an HP LaserJet 4MP.

Re: [Wlug] Cups, FC6, and networks, oh MY!

by John Stoffel

I've got an old LaserJet 4M myself. Ran nicely for years, before the rollers started putting junk on the paper. It's also got the JetDirect card as well, so you can just put it onto the network. I'd be happy to sell it off for a nominal sum, say $50? But let me check that the darn thing is still in the basement... This would give you spare parts if anything broke on yours. John

Cups, FC6, and networks, oh MY!

by Bill Smith

I have recently acquired an HP LaserJet 4MP. It's connected to the parallel port of my system running FC6 (with all current updates). The printer itself works great, so long as I am trying to print from localhost, but I'd like to share it to the other systems on my network. (These other systems include WinXP, Mac OS X, etc.) I've poked around a bit and found pointers on getting cups to work on other OSs (Gentoo, Ubuntu), but not Fedora Core. Would anyone have any pointers? I'm willing to post config file segments, if that will help-- just tell me what you need to see. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- William Smith wsmith-at-chezsmith-dot-com Fall River, MA http://www.chezsmith.com "He played me like a fish...

What is gentoo's equivalent of Red Hat's rpm? That's what gentoo's portage system (via the "emerge" command) does for you - downloads the tarballs, builds, installs, and keeps a record of what's installed under /var/db/pkg/<category>/<package>/ . Well, when it works. :) Look at /usr/portage/media-libs/libpng/*.ebuild, its fairly easy to get the gist of it if you know shell syntax. Did you do "emerge --sync" like some others suggested? I see a few libpng versions available, up to 1.2.16, $ ls /usr/portage/media-libs/libpng/*.ebuild /usr/portage/media-libs/libpng/libpng-1.2.14-r1.ebuild /usr/portage/media-libs/libpng/libpng-1.2.14.ebuild /usr/portage/media-libs/libpng/libpng-1.2.15.ebuild /usr/portage/media-libs/libpng/libpng-1.2.16.ebuild > --------------snip------------- > Lastly, how do you know that HAPPYMEAL is in the sun-hme module?

Also in menuconfig, you can search all the help text by typing "/" and entering some text. Generally, once you have your system configured to your satisfaction, you keep a copy of the kernel .config, and use that the next time you upgrade the kernel by copying it to the new kernel tree and doing "make oldconfig". -Jamie
