Hello.

Im new here, but this forum already helped me a lot of times by googling.

I need a help with my new debian wheezy server. I'm a linux user for +8years and already spend hours trying to solve this and couldn't :( so if anyone has a clue.. please help?



The problem:
I replaced my old server running debian-6.0 with a new one running debian-7.0. I have a DYMO LabelWriter 450 USB Printer on it to print labels.

The labels are printed by a postscript using the lpr command:
lpr -#$qtd -r -P DYMO_LabelWriter_450 /path/to/my/postscript.ps

If i send more than one label to the printer, this command will run multiple times changing only the postscript file path (different label, different ps).

The problem is: the printer pauses seconds between each job/label... and this behavior wasn't like that before - before the printer prints one after another without pauses.



I already tried a lot of things and nothing worked.

One thing i noticed is i got this message for each job i send:
Jun 18 11:26:55 kernel: [ 723.602744] usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 1 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04E8 pid 0x3433
Jun 18 11:27:08 kernel: [ 735.820344] usblp0: removed

i already tried to copy my old /etc/cups folder into my new server.
i tried to remove usblp module and blacklist it..
i tried to reinstall the printer in cups..
i tried cups 1.6.2 insted of 1.5 too
and tried more things.. without sucess :(



The problem is.. the printer is pausing between jobs.. how do i remove that? any ideas!?


I'm getting crazy about this !

There seem to be many variations of this subject in a web search, but none that clearly addresses this question.

I have a printer with a cups name of
"Totally_impractical_for_command_line_use".

The printer has a duplexer. I would like to create two aliases with names like hpd and hps implying duplex and simplex. hpd can be an exact alias of "Totally_..._use" which was defined with the duplexer enabled. hps should differ only in that the duplexer is disabled.

In the past I've copied/modified/renamed a ppd to achieve this but there has to be a better way. I can create a cups class for hpd, but selecting a PPD option like the duplexer for the hps class doesn't seem to work.

The bottom line requirement is to be able to print with lpr -P hps (for example).

Folks,

Environment: Ubuntu 13.04

I have set up vsftpd to use virtual users as shown in Howto: Easy FTP with vsftpd.

I have also downloaded the latest version of vsftpd from thefrontiergroup/vsftpd repository. The installed version is 2.3.5
This version fixes "vsftpd refusing to run with writable root inside chroot" problem.

The directory to write to is /home/ftpdir and the user account for ftp is ftpusers.

Here is the content of /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers:

write_enable=YES
anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
anon_other_write_enable=YES
anon_upload_enable=YES
local_root=/home/ftpdir
chroot_local_user=YES
dirlist_enable=YES
download_enable=YES
guest_username=ftpusers
local_umask=022
file_open_mode=0666

When run, I am able to upload files from a ftp client. However, download fails with a "550 Failed to open file" error.

Here are the permissions on a file that is uploaded:

$ sudo ls -l /home/ftpdir
-rw------- 1 ftpusers ftpusers 9 Jun 12 01:13 3.txt

However, the same file cannot be downloaded.

If I manually chmod 666 on the file, the download works fine.

There are two issues here that I don't understand:

1. If the ftp client connection is chrooting to ftpusers, why upload works and not download?

2. Although my file open mode is set as 0666, why does the created file have just 600 mode?

I would appreciate it if someone can help me understand these issues.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,
Peter

Hello, how can I remove from a user's mail box all email from Mail Delivery System ?

Thank you

Hi All

I would like to allow multiple users to be able to simultaneously connect to an application on a Linux server from there desktop (win 7/8) over the internet. Could you please advise on possible applications or solutions as to what direction I can take to provide such a service.

Multiple instances of the application can be executed. I would like to make it as user-friendly possible to allow the end user to connect and close his remote app session.

Thank you, all help appreciated.

Everytime I quit a file viewed or edited by vi/vim I get the following message:
This happens when in a graphical desktop environment, not on the 'real' console (CTRL+ALT+F2) though. I tried several desktops (MATE [my default], GNOME Shell, XFCE, KDE) as well as different terminal emulators (GNOME terminal, MATE terminal, Konsole, LXTerminal, UXTerm...). Always the same behavior. Then I set different color schemes for vim, no success. The same happens when changing the color in the terminal emulator. This behavior afflicts all users, I logged in with different users, root is affected too.

The locale settings are correct (en_US.UTF-8), I checked to be sure that it's not case of a configuration file that cannot read the variable 'BACKGROUND'. I grep'ed all vim-files for the string 'BACKGROUND' to see whether there was something misconfigured here, no luck.

It seems like I'm the only person having this problem, I could not find solution for the issue online.

Vim is in version 7.3.905

Sabayon Linux 11 64bit (MATE desktop)

Thanks for your help

Moonlight isn't compatible with the app that my job requires me to use, and having to use a vm uses every resource on my laptop. Is it possible to make Silverlight work without a vm?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

thanks for any advise

I'm using plain groff to format pages for printing but I am using it without any of the macro packages such as ms or me. I want a way of setting a command at the head of the file which will allow me to let page breaks just happen automatically rather than having to put the .bp command in by hand at the end of each page. I was wondering whether someone was using a macro from plain groff that can do this reliably and share it?

I received two spam emails that have something in them that locks up evolution as soon as it is selected. I'd like to delete them, but so far I haven't found a way to do it.

The evolution is old--2.28.2, and on an old Suse 10, but the same emails on a newer one also locks it up; this one running a not-as-old Fedora 14.

Hello all, I have installed subversion and this is what I get when I try to run a command. "ld.so.1: svn: fatal: libaprutil-1.so.0: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed"
Have you guys ever run into this ?? Please help.

Hello all I am working on some server side audio conversion and was using sox as my tool of choice. I found a strange problem.

If I had somefile.wav I can convert it using sox like so

$ sox somefile.wav somefile.mp3

Great however

$ sox some-other_file.wav some-other_file.mp3
sox FAIL formats: can't open input file `BassA_110E-0.wav': No such file or directory

Does any one know if there is way to get around this the audio files for my app are user submitted and though I could simply rename the file with a regular expression I would prefer to keep it as the user intend if possible. Thank you.

hello dear linux-friends,


update
note - as i say below - i have (after getting kgpg to work ) generated a new key. so i guess that i now did all what is necessary to run the gnugpg-agent.

Well i was wondering how i invoke the gpg-agent - but at the moment i think that after the first start of KGpg and after
creating a first key-pair the gpg-agent is running for ever and ever. The agent will get started after system start.
Well - since i have managed to enter / import all the keys into KGpg i think i am lucky and the credentials are loaded.

So now i think all necessary things are done - to proeceed running (and using) thundermail and enigmail.


....well now i am facing a new problem.

kgpg does not start while kgpg -k does

well i thougth that kgpg should start at start up of the computer but it can't:

if i get it starting up with the command kgpg -k in console then it runs - but not with an other way to start - in system tray nothing happens.

if you press the button - nothing happens.


by the way - after i have set up a new key-pair
so i guess that i now have all done that is needed to invoke the gpg-agent


but the question is: do i need to start KGpg in the terminal

starting it with the command kgpg -k in console seems to work

everytime i close kgpg - then the only way to restart is - by doing this via the command in terminal
the other (alternative) way - starting it with some clicks in the sytem tray - does not work at all.

why is this so!?






the original-posting was the following:


i currently stuck to the process "invoking the GPC-AGENT" , as a prerequisite for Thunderbird and enigmail .


i am trying to initially firing up the agent to run enigmail
i am currently configuring all the prerequesites for the thunderbird and enigmail

at the moment i have a vanilla-installation of opensuse 12.3 on my notebook - all is fresh - no old data or credentials are used.
The whole systme is new and fresh.

see the following data - of the operating system and the rest of fresh installation note - i do not need to import all the mails - i only need to import the credentials. and i have managed this.

so to sume up what is gained: what is on the machine; - the following things:

again: well and i ve done a import of the credentials and password files into the KGpg
in KGpg all the passwords are included.

By the way - i do not want to use openPGP. i prefer the usage of KGpg

The question now is: how to proceed the next steps are to look for the correct installation and configuring of gnupg.

On this page here - Invoking GPG-AGENT - Using the GNU Privacy Guard a short descripton on Invoking GPG-AGENT shows how to do things.


question: how to invoke the gnupg? and very very important for me is the question - Do i have to invoke this GPC-AGENT for one or how many user!?
It is best not to run multiple instance of the gpg-agent, so you should make sure that only one is running.
How to make sure that i do invoke the GPC-AGENT only one time and not twice or three times.

Which steps are needet - what do i need to get enigmail up and running!?

love to hear from you

greetings

Hello dear linux-experts


sorry for the newbie-question: i have two notebooks

one is running opensuse 12.2 - this is my day-to-day-notebook with all the necessary things such as thunderbird and enigmail with pgp.

the second notebook currently is undergoing a fresh installation - where i allready have installed OpenSuse 12.3
This is a fresh installation from groundup!

note: the one and only thing i want to import from a elder installation is thunderbird with enigmail:

- no mals, no data only the credentials and passwords


so i guess that have to do to port over the

~/.gnupg.

question does this folder ~/.gnupg contain the credentials?

Well i have setup the thunderbird fresh - via YAST:

just see the prerequesites as the following things - (with versions);

Thunderbird Version 17.0.5
gpg2 - GnuPG 2; version 2.0.19-5.1.1.
(GnuPG 2 is the successor of "GnuPG" or GPG. It provides: GPGSM, gpg-agent, and a keybox library. i 586 OpenSuse 12.3-1.7 ; priority 99 )
libassuan0 - IPC library used by GnuPG version 2 version 2.0.3-2.1.1 i586 OpenSuse 12.3-1.7 ; priority 99
libgpgme11 - a library, that allows the interaction of programmes with GnuPG version 1.3.2-2.1.1
libgpg-error0 - Library That Defines Common Error Values for All GnuPG Components; version 1.10 - 9.1.1


So all of the above mentioned stuff i have installed. How to proceed now!?

Note; i want to work with kgpg to manage the key sets - and not with openPGP - is this possible?


look forward to hear from you

greetings

hello dear friends

sorry for being the newbie - but i have issues here...
which way should i port over the fz-credentials and password

i ve got two lap-tops.

on one there runs filezilla on opensuse 12.2
on a fresh installed laptop - i ve installed opensuse12.3 - and a brandnew version of filezilla


then i exportet a file from filezilla - a xml-file - this contains al lot of data.
well - after the import of the file in the new filezilla-client - i am not able to log into the server...

well what goes wrong here

what is the correct way of handling the passwd - and all the necessary credentials?

love to hear from you

greetings +
