I use the Avasys pipslite driver for my Epson TX210 printer on Fedora FC12. It worked fine two weeks ago, but now only prints a solid black square for the print area. The printer is fine, as it prints normally under Windows. I rebuilt the driver from source.

I downloaded the .rpm file for pipslite-1.4.0-5 and tried to install it using YaST, but it needs "libgdk-1.2.so.0". I was given the error "nothing provides libgdk-1.2.so.0 needed by pipslite-1.4.0-5.i386. I am currently running 32-bit OpenSUSE 11.3. Can anybody help me with installing pipslite? I googled libgdk and I notice that it's in gtk+, but I don't know how to install that either.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm currently using rsync to backup one drive to another. However, it is not currently set up to delete files if they are deleted from the source directory. I'm looking for a way to tell it to delete a file if it was deleted form the source directory X number of days ago.
Anyway I can do this with rsync or a combo with another backup program?
"system crash" means that:(1)I can ping it , but can not connect to it (via ssh or http or anything else)(2)the major role of that machine is to run a web application written in java, every 3 weeks(almost that), the users inform us and say they can log in that web application , and we find the situation just like (1) says.When this happen , we can only restart the machine by pushing the power button.(It's sad !)I've try to read all the log files located in /var/log but find nothing interesting.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using crontab to start and stop music playback (its like start and end of a brake in school). The problem is that some of the entries should be run on even weeks and some on odd.
exp:
This should be played on even weeks
00 08 * * * audacious -p
10 08 * * * audacious -u
and this on odd
05 08 * * * audacious -p
15 08 * * * audacious -u
There are about 20 entries for even and 20 for odd. I found here on the forum that maybe this should work but for it is not working for me
00 08 * * * [[ $(expr `date +\%W` \% 2) = 0 ]] && audacious -p
If I put it like that its not working at all
I have noticed that after 20 days of system up time, the ubuntu is not as fast as the first day.maybe the RAM is polluted with necessary files or there are some unnecessary disk activities.

I thought this would be fixed with the 8.04.4 release yesterday, but alas, it was not so.
It's bugging me a bit that there are packages that need to be upgraded, but it's not doing it.
i'm running debian lenny - latest stable i have recently installed smartcam (mobile phone as webcam over bluetooth) from .deb package , get errors of unmet dependency , but application works like a charm, unfortunately broken dependences block my aptitude , i cant fix them either as latest stable use older versions of dependences even in backports... how do i mark smartcam package as not broken and release my apt?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI seem to have lost vlc. It was working ok til I tried the following from [url].
"Like I told you before, files aren't the only places where you can redirect the standard output. You can redirect it to devices, too: $ cat sound.wav > /dev/audio
As you saw, in the above example the cat command concatenates a file named sound.wav and the results are sent to a device called /dev/audio. What's the fun here, then? /dev/audio is the audio device, and when you send there the contents of a sound file, that file is played. So if your sound is properly configured, the above command plays the file sound.wav!"
I thought that if I sent a music file to vlc in this way, vlc would play it. So I did cat song.mp3 > /usr/bin/vlc. At this point vlc stopped working. I looked in /usr/bin and found that vlc had been turned into a music file! So I erased it, and removed it via yum. Success. Then I reinstalled via yum; success. But the messages now are: from terminal:

I installed Fedora 14 recently, in part because I heard that it is more stable than Ubuntu these days.Anyways, I use XeTeX to generate PDF files for my website, and it really is necessary for me. Of course, I installed the texlive-xetex package and its dependencies. However, when I run "xelatex myfile.tex" on a simple and proper XeTeX source file, the program cannot even begin. I get the following output:
Code:

When I login, it all works, but it gets to the point where I have to choose my login name, and enter password, but it never gets there. It hangs at the point where it lists my machine name, and then never gives me the option to login. (I updated the plymouth theme just before this happened)
I also installed a little utility from the software center that lets me tweak the login screen, but I didn't make any changes.
Bump, and some more info...
I was able to login a few times by pressing escape when the plymouth was loading (boot sequence), from here, my login name showed up without trouble, but this is not repeatable... When I logged in, I re-installed plymouth themes, and did an update of all software from the terminal (sudo yum update), but this didn't seem to help. As soon as I logged out, it happened again.
I really like Fedora, switched from Ubuntu. Fedora 14 seems more professional, but this is a deal breaker if I can't get to the gui!
Well, it isn't fiixed, could never figure out what was causing it, but I just switched to auto-login..
has anyone else noticed that any program to do with FLV (flash video) files does not work on F15?i can't get mplayer or vlc to play them (totem does it seems) and mencoder and ffmpeg segfault without any useful error message when trying to convert themany ideas? i'm assuming some problem with the rpmfusion codecs or packages?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI did the system updates and one package was listed - yum-3.2.28.3 so I installed it Friday. Since then I can't install new packages. The gui package manager errors out. yum also errors out. I have a desktop with yum-3.2.27 and it installs the same packages with no problems.

View 6 Replies View RelatedYesterday my Japanese input on F11x64 broke horribly. I have been using iBus all along, and didn't think I did any upgrades, but maybe there was a restart that picked up something previous. As soon as I hit the key to turn on the input method to type Japanese there would be a python process using 100% cpu, but no keyboard input. After fiddling about reinstalling python, iBus, scim and anthy and anything I else I could think of, I decided to upgrade to F13 to see if it would fix it. (trying to use scim instead of iBus hung the machine during start-up after login (I'm using KDE too if that makes any difference)). I did an upgrade instead of a fresh install fyi...
F13 is no better, and has the same issues with the python process. I have tried reinstalling everything again, as well as trying to avoid scim altogether, and just running iBus and Anthy. (The only other issue that I can think of (that prompted the initial restart) was that my .xsession-errors file in my home directory became huge -> 1.7gb!) Japanese input is crucial to my work (It doesn't even work if the default language of the system is set to Japanese), so hope someone has some ideas on how to resolve this, or even just knowing tha japanese is working for someone on a x64 KDE install would be encouraging...
A couple of weeks ago, I went to run a yum update, but got this message:
Loaded plugins:
I've been running yum with --skip-broken since, but I'd like to know what package I need to get to the service level that xulrunner and firefox need. I'm running Fedora 12.
This has been bothering me for a while. I thought if I waited a dependency would get fixed and the update would work, but it hasn't for a while now. I have included the error when trying to update gcc and the libraries. Skip broken skips everything so no dice there.

getting this bug report on starting fedora 13 in hp laptop
WARNING: at drivers/pci/dmar.c:647 check_zero_address+0x96/0x19b()
Hardware name: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
Your BIOS is broken; DMAR reported at address zero!
BIOS vendor: Hewlett-Packard; Ver: F.42; Product Version: Rev 1

[Code]...
1. hardware: HP/Compaq desktop, about 4 years old, 1GB mem
2. FC14 (copied live CD to HD) and updated
3. sshd, telnet, vnc and samba activated (mostly default config)
4. disabled firewall and selinux
5. I have tested all those succesfully from WinXP workstation. For terminal session, I used putty.exe and/or telnet.exe
When I worked with the machine (say TestMachine), I noticed some times that the vnc connection was lost, but restarted succesfully. Similar thing happened with ssh. Also the samba connection was lost, but it recovered after hour or two. Then I tested leaving a constant ping on, and it revealed that some breaks happen. But it is not an infrastructure problem, as pingtest on other machine in the same network is OK.
Again, I tried to connect. No ssh, telent, vnc or samba worked. But surprisingly, I was able to telnet to another system first and then telnet to the TestMachine from there. I was able to use it for a while. But then, session was broken and now I can't access it anymore via network. I tried to browse /var/logs but I didn't find anything revealing yet.
Yum is unable to access any packages in the F15 updates repository. When I manually download and browse the repo filename list (http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fed...ateinfo.xml.gz) it seems that the files are listed as being available from the Fedora *5* address, which is obviously incorrect. This issue seems to have been going on for a few weeks now.
