Folks,
In case you are wondering about the page errors at present this is
because the Wiki is being upgraded to our new server provided by HP.
Many thanks to the people working on it - especially Perry and Matt
who have worked long hours on it not to mention others like Craig,
Daniel and John.

The above pdf is scan of the output I get having configured CUPS on my
linux box to print to a Kyocera printer.
It appears to me that the printer is not interpreting the PostScript
test file as Postscript and is instead interpreting and printing the
text within the file.
The printer is connected to a local lan and most people print to it
via Windows XP computers via a Windows server.
I am using KDE with CUPS and have successfully printed to a brother
colour laser using IPP and the PPD file from the Brother website.
I am using the PPD file from the Kyocera file and linuxprinting.org
says the Kyocera is supported perfectly. The Kyocera doesn't appear
to use IPP but can be seen as a network printer or via SAMBA but I am
not sure if this makes a difference.
>From what I have described is a solution obvious?
Thanks
Does anyone have or know anyone in the Waikato have an arcade cabinet
running MAME (preferably under Linux), and who would loan it to us for a
day?

Hi,
I have sucessfully installed XUbuntu Dapper onto an external USB disk
drive. I would like to be able to run it using this drive but the PC I
have does not have the option of booting from USB.
I understand that one solution to this is to create (or obtain) a custom
boot floppy or CD, but I am wondering if it is possible to do it just
with the live/install CD by passing the right parameters at the boot prompt.
I tried pressing F6 and changing the root=/dev/ram to root=/dev/sda1 and
removing all the other stuff but that didn't work. It boots but still
runs from the CD.
If that approach is not possible then is there a small (we're still in
the DSL dark here) prebuilt iso that can be used to do this? I notice
that there is a mini.iso in the distribution which I understand has
something to do with network booting. Since that isn't too far removed
from what I wan't to do then would it possible to use that?
I have done some web searching for this but could only find the
instructions for making a custom boot floppy or CD.

The Waikato Linux Users Group have a meeting in one week from today:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In which CraigBox will present an overview of the http://www.wlug.org.nz/Squid caching WebProxy server, including:
* how to set it up for a home network
* how to have a gateway machine transparently proxy requests
* locking down web access
* and a sneak preview of what's coming in the new Squid 3.0.
I have LAN access to an Ubuntu mirror at Akl uni and I'd like to copy
all the Dapper packages (incl multiverse and universe) onto my laptop so
I can install it on other PCs at home.
For Breezy I just copied the whole thing (11.4Gb), since the mirror was
new and that's all that was there but I expect that it will have more
than doubled in size now and I won't have HD space for it.
Is there a way to copy only the package files for a specified version?

Hi, Carlos.
I tried your method 1 (except that I substituted "python24" for
"python2.4", given the file's funny name) and it worked immediately.
Many thanks,
Leslie
I downloaded the latest version of youtube-dl (2006.08.15) from
www.arrakis.es/~rggi3/youtube-dl/.
It's a CLI program to download videos from YouTube.
The instructions say you need the Python interpreter, v 2.4.
A check of my RPM packages showed that I only had
python-2.3.4-13.1.i386.rpm installed, so I also installed
python24-2.4.1-2.i386.rpm, which I assume means that I now satisfy the
requirement for v 2.4 of the Python interpreter.
However, when I run youtube-dl, I get the following error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl", line 150, in ?
urllib2.install_opener(urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor()))
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'HTTPCookieProcessor'
I checked the contents of the file youtube-dl and line 150 of it is
identical to the third of the four lines I just set out.
I know nothing about Python.
I did google to see if I could find some solution to the problem, but
couldn't.
Is there anything that strikes people immediately as something I could
try to get youtube-dl working?

I know you can get this already from some sources but this in theory
is fully legal rather than obtaining from other countries...
Hopefully it will be in a license that can be incorporated into other
code so we don't just have to use helix but regardless is another step
forward as is Java going more opensource which was also announced at
Linux World.
