As far as my knowledge goes... Espon Stylus 4xx series are not officially supported in Linux. I have an Epson Stylus 480, and I would be glad to get it working too :) Thanks, AH. _________________________________________________________ There is always a better job for you at Monsterindia.com.

Epson Stylus 460 never worked for me
by Tahir Hashmi 27 Jun '02

27 Jun '02

Hi all! It's been two years since I'm using Linux and at my workplace I'm using Linux exclusively. I could've had a Linux-only setup at home also but for one thing - printer. I've been driven nuts trying to get my Epson Stylus 460 running in Linux in vain. My last attempt was with the stock foomatic printer drivers that came with RedHat 7.2. I had made a clean reinstall of RedHat 7.2 and I selected the Stylus 460 driver - there were three options for that and I selected stp, IIRC. When I tried printing the PS test page, the printer started spewing *** Unable to open initial device *** ad infinitum. Now I'm going back home after 3 months (I work in a different city, you see) armed with RH 7.3 CDs and I plan to upgrade from 7.2. This time could someone please tell me how to get things done? I would be OK w/o photo printing as long as I can atleast print color postscript and images at the normal 600 dpi. When I posted about my last attempt with stock RH 7.2 foomatic drivers, someone told that those drivers were broken and I should use new ones. Hope this time around things might look up. But please do give me some clear instructions on how to set it up using the RH 7.3 foomatic drivers and printconf-tui or printconf-gui. Thanks a lot in advance :-) --- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in __________________________________ We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed ____________________________________________________________ Win a first-class trip to New Orleans and vacation Elvis Style!.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Can't read vfat partitions
by Vinay Pai 27 Jun '02

> hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } > hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=5221126, sector=1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That's your cue! There's a physical error (bad sector) on your hard disk. UncorrectableError means there was a burst error severe enough that the ECC algorithm couldn't correct it. If you can read other partitions from the same hard disk, there's a good chance that it is only a few bad sectors and most of your data is intact. Your best bet is to somehow boot to Windows or DOS 7.x and run Norton Disk Doctor. Don't bother running scandisk. It'll say something like "Errors in Filesystem, Scandisk can't run" (duh!) If that doesn't work, and you have sufficiently important data on that disk let me know. If enough of the filesystem tables are intact it ought to be possible to fix it manually. Anyway ultimately you want to do a low-level format of that hard disk before you use it again.

get it from http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=linux and compile and follow the instructions given there. At least it worked for me on an ASUS MB with on board GForce2 GPU. All the best.

Can't read vfat partitions
by Philip S Tellis 27 Jun '02

27 Jun '02

I have one ext2 partition, two fat32 partitions and one fat16 partition. I can mount the ext2 and fat16 partitions, but am unable to mount the vfat (fat32) partitions. When I try to mount them, the hard disk makes a humming sound, and I get these errors: hda: timeout waiting for DMA hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } hda: DMA disabled ide0: reset: success hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=5221126, sector=1 end_request: I/O error, dev 03:01 (hda), sector 1 FAT bread failed mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, or too many mounted file systems This happens everytime. I tried disabling dma and then mounting, and I get these errors: hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=5221126, sector=1 end_request: I/O error, dev 03:01 (hda), sector 1 FAT bread failed mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, or too many mounted file systems I am unable to boot into the fat32 partitions either. I have not used Windows for several months now, so don't think that this is a windows related problem, and I was able to mount the partitions last night, but not since this afternoon. Shutdown was uneventful the last time I used the fat32 partitions. I have all my documentation stored on those partitions and refer to them frequently. Any ideas as to what has happened and how I may be able to fix it? Philip

funky spewed into the ether: > I want to find the usage(data transfer) >that is being done by my ethernet card using snmp. Any >ideas of how to do it or any ideas of how to do it >using other protocols or utilities ? If you have root on the box, ntop, iptraf.... Install ucd-snmp (aka net-snmp), and get the data transfer through the ip mib. Use ssh and a script to cut out the relevant values from your ifconfig output. Monitor the switch that your machine is connected to. Devdas Bhagat ------------------------------------------------------------ Nettaxi.com has merged with RAE Systems, Inc.

Thank YOU!

Hi, I have been here for a little time and this place is great- low on traffic and high on info. Thanks to all you people who keep up the good work of answering querries. You people know who you are. Keep up the good work. Finally, I would like to point out that the ilug website is really low on content. We must give it a face lift. Can we have debates on this?
