If that isn't working, then CUPS probably isn't running.

Try doing "nmap localhost" (assuming you have nmap) and see if that port is open.

Oh... yea... make it rc.cups exectuable in /etc/rc.d/ :P

As root,

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups

Then reboot.

+ newby

root@kompressor:/home/lamer# /etc/rc.d/rc.cups start
cups: started scheduler.

Edit YAYAY the http://127.0.0.1:631 works!! <3

You should do, as root:
chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.inetd
chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail

And reboot.  It's a good idea to get rid of some of those open ports.

Done.


I'm still having trouble with those drivers, and the :631 stuff. I'll just mess around with it 'til I get it to work. Thanks for the helps, guys.

root@kompressor:/home/lamer# installpkg wine-0.9.tar.bz2
Cannot install wine-0.9.tar.bz2: package does not end in .tgz

How do I install WINE then?

[Ergot]

Well... you would have to extract it... I use tar -xvvf file but I'm sure there's a better way... I think if you don't have an updated tar command or something you have have to do bunzip file then tar -xvvf file.  Then you have to do

Code Select Expand


./configure
make
su
make install

Or something similiar according to the INSTALL file.

Otherwise, I would just download the Slackware package... http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241&package_id=6301

and do installpkg :P

[iago]

Yeah, what he said, kinda. 

Unless you specifically downloaded a Slackware package, you can't use installpkg.  To unzip a .tar.bz2, you do:

tar -xvvjf <name>.tar.bz2

(assuming you have a reasonably new version of Tar, which you do).  It'll extract a ton of stuff, then go into the folder:
cd <folder>
./configure
make
<wait for about 2 days while it compiles>
<as root> make install

WINE works. Annother weird problem, thing. My mouse three like.. pastes the last selected thing into the URL screen. It's kind of annoying 'cause this mouse doesn't work that well so I have to press hard. thus, pasting it in the URL area and searcing for it. Quite bothersome.

[Ergot]

Huh? I know that that mouse3 pastes the last thing you highlighted. I don't know how to get rid of it, but if you're having issues with mouse3, do mouse1 and mouse2 at the same time. I believe you do have that enabled.

[Super_X]

You said I wasn't being literate, maybe this can help:

07:40:53) Ergot  ANBU: You're not being literate dude.
(07:42:00) HolyMother0fGod: Math does that to me, sorry.
(07:42:05) HolyMother0fGod: What do you mean?
(07:42:15) Ergot  ANBU: I don't understand your problem
(07:42:18) Ergot  ANBU: -_-
(07:42:25) HolyMother0fGod: When I click the mouse three.
(07:42:26) HolyMother0fGod: Right?
(07:42:37) Ergot  ANBU: Yea.
(07:42:39) HolyMother0fGod: It pastes my last selected thing.
(07:42:42) Ergot  ANBU: Yep.
(07:42:44) Ergot  ANBU: <3 Linux
(07:42:50) Ergot  ANBU: :D
(07:42:51) HolyMother0fGod: I don't want it to.

That's a feature of X.  It's probably possible to disable it, but I don't know how.  You'll have to find another forum. 

I personally like it, though, it's the only consistant way to copy/paste across X on any window manager.  Get a new mouse?  I got a good one for like $10 :P

Hoho... I guessed it was something about gpm and I was right! It's fixed now... I think. I like the feature too, but he can't buy a mouse that costs half as much as his computer.

[Super_X]

Yeah! It works now, it only pastes what I have hilighted while it's hilighted. It uesd to do it all the time. I like it better this way.
