Typically you will need either IP masquerading or NAT, along with all=20 appropriate modules/drivers (e.g. ethernet bridging.), to enable your loc= al=20
machines' packets to be routed, with is not possible with IP forwarding a= lone.

If you haven't done so already, please see the excellent networking HOWTO= 's on=20

Do you need help?

Hello:
I am trying to set up a Minolta Magicolor QMS printer. The printer is a postscript laser printer. (The actual model number is QMS 6110 and it is discontinued). The printer is set up to connect via ethernet.

I obtained the software for it from the Konica Minolta site today. It is Page Scope for Linux but the documentation refers to Red Hat and Suse with 2.2.x kernels. Does anyone have experience with this enough to tell me if there might be compatibility issues, or special considerations and issues particular to Debian. I am running Debian etch on AMD64.
I was successful in getting it up on Mac OSX, but that uses Appletalk. Actually, I have netatalk installed on the Debian system. Is there advantage in using that? I want to be able to print out of graphics programs like Ink Scape, Blender, Gimp, etc and this is the first time I have tackled printer setup on a Linux system. Thanks in advance for assistance, advice, suggestions; Jeff K

Thanks Owen. To run nfs server, should I install both nfs-common and nfs-user-server, or just nfs-common?

Thank you.

Can we help you?

Thanks Andy and other responses. It is a good solution although I wish I could use the vim to read HTML with ability to click the URL links like lynx (asking too much :-)).

Thank you.

Hey,
nfs-kernel-server depends on nfs-common but I don't believe the userspace server does. Running `apt-get install nfs-user-server` will tell you of the dependancies and resolve them if it can. You can also use `apt-cache depend nfs-user-server` to find out.

cheers,
Owen.

btw, to actually answer the question, nfs-common doesn't include a server, it has the needed dependencies for a client and the overlap with the servers. The server packages extend on the common package with the actual server files.
The userspace server seems to directly depend on the needed basics (portmap etc) instead of the nfs-common package.

Don't know where to look next?

summary:

nfs-common alone = client
nfs-kernel-server + nfs-common = kernel server
nfs-user-server + (dependencies) = userspace server

cheers,
Owen.

Thanks Owen, I installed nfs-user-server and added /etc/exports. But, could not find exportfs in /sbin or /usr/sbin, I thought the exportfs is included in nfs server packet, seems I got wrong. I did "apt-cache search exportfs", nothing happend?

Thank you.

Jim

If it is a postscript printer and the manufacturer has provided you with the .ppd file, you should be able use that ppd file to print to the printer. You might want to install cupsys and go to http://localhost:631 for installing and configuring your printer

Interesting, I have the kernel server installed along with nfs-common and I have /usr/sbin/exportfs. Perhaps it comes with the common package. I don't have any experience with the userspace server, the kernel server is (by accounts/testimonials) faster & easier and I have physical & root access to my servers so it's not an issue. Any particular reason you're choosing the userspace server? cheers, Owen.

I installed it, and messed around with the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, adding "vga=791 splash=silent" to the kernel line. It made the print smaller, but did not give me a nifty bootsplash. I then attempted to recompile my kernel, as instructed (a hell of a thing to have to do just to get a bootsplash, but, well, since I had started.....) Anyway, first using menuconfig, and then xconfig, I was unable to find any entry for "Console drivers". I did find some framebuffer stuff, but nothing about "Use splash screen instead of boot logo", as I was instructed to turn on. I did find something about turning on a penguin during bootup (the "boot logo", maybe?). I checked that, just so that I could say to myself, "Well, at least I did SOMETHING". Now, hours later, I'm still waiting for the revised kernel to finish its stuff, via the command fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers. Yikes. Has anyone else succeeded with bootsplash? Mark

Well, I do think you need to patch your kernel and take a bit more pains. See this, it has worked for me earlier: http://www.oreilly.com/pub/h/3124 HTH. Kumar -- Kumar Appaiah, 458, Jamuna Hostel, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai - 600 036

I have one problem while installing debian 4.0 on tecra530cdt with PCMCIA lancard. I used floppy image to install because cd rom drive is not available. Installer detected PCMCIA card and completed installation on PCMCIA lancard. However, debian after rebooting can't detect PCMCIA. It's new in debian 4.0. debian 3.1 successfully detected PCMCIA after rebooting. Does anybody know how to detect it? thank you.

No, you are not asking too much. Read the vim manual section on mailcap. Then setup your own .mailcap file and then you can read HTML mail in mutt. To be able to click on a URL when you need to install and set up the urlview package.

Please don't bother posting cynicism about Windows, or wild guesses. And, yes, I've heard some dual-core chips with 1 faulty core are sold as mono-core, but even that doesn't explain the discrepancy.
