Samba 3.0.4-5 ( HALF SOLUTION )
Yeah !!!...Finally my local mirror has got that samba 3.0.4-5. My samba server got up nicely after two days off duties. Many many thanks to the developersbut, this still leave some problems. After apt-upgrading, i had to lose KDE and gnome-cups-manager and any other packages i didn't notice since i'd got a long list of packages to be removed when upgrading. If only me who experienced this, please let me know... Even it's not really a big problem with me cause KDE had a second place in my heart after GNOME. I still can manage my printer via localhost:901 without gnome-cups-manager But, if upgrading to samba 3.0.4-5 should to be this way...this shows that the problem has not been completely solved. But still i wanna say "keep the good work" to all delevors and many thanks and respect to ypur hard work cheers, welly __ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!

Well ... reconfiguring X . Since I'm not using KDE ( gnome's my favorite however ), maybe the best way I can do is make another X configuration file that use only 8 bit color depth and run it by 'xf86cfg -xf86config anotherxconfigfile'. But since I've been using NVidia driver, is this good enough ( in other mean...if I do this ,there won't be any problem ??? ) cheers, welly __ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!

Re: 2.6 and nvidia
I'm running debian sid 2.6.5-1-686 with Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440.

Different ip table and missing /dev/usb/lp after using udev
hi all.. First...I've got debian sid 2.6.5-1-686 in my office. We've got a pretty large network over here, and as long as I know, divide into two ip tables. One got 172.16.1.xxx the other 172.16.2.xxx But somehow I can't use my Samba to browse those computers connected into different ip table with mine. I've got the 172.16.1.xxx ip address and I can't browse those who have 172.16.2.xxx. Is there any Samba configuration should to be configure ? Note : I can browse those 172.16.2.xxx computers within my windows box. ( I've got dual boot winxp and debian ) Second...How to recover missing /dev/usb/lpx ??? Several days ago I installed udev, but now I've removing and purging its config. since I can't see any benefits ( or I don't know the benefits...) The problem is with my CUPS. My CUPS works well to print all shared printers in my network, but won't print via HP DJ 3535 attached to my USB port. I've been configuring it via http://localhost:631 and got device URI usb:/dev/usb/lp0. But when I do a test print CUPS says that the device /dev/usb/lp0 doesn't exist. ( I know I should supply the log file, but... I'll send you later, right away) Thank You ---welly--- __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

If not, the easy solution might just be to rename your current mozilla-browser profile directory and start new, copying over any old data you need once you've verified that bookmarks are working properly in the new moz profile. I've just renamed the $HOME/.mozilla and start mozilla browser to have a new configuration. Bookmarking now works fine. Wonder what happen with the previous one. Because there's nothing manually changed but the pluginreg.dat file which must be customized for me to have the Oracle Application available. I have made the customization again into the new pluginreg.dat file but bookmarking still works fine. So I guess it's no problem at all.

OT: Some advice on perl: read byte to hex string
I've managed to create an application for reading some bytes of data
from an id card reader connected into a serial port.
But it's under Win$ ...
So, now I've been trying for at least capturing the data then convert
it the way I want.
The convertion is called "byte to hex string" convertion.
Below is the perl script I have so far but the result is not what I
expect it.
The same algorithm works perfectly in java and vc++
Thanks.

$c is not a byte; it is a variable that contains a 1-byte string. So doing
bitwise operations like & on it won't do what you expect. What it will do is
convert $c to a numeric value (if possible) and then perform the &. For most
of the data you are probably reading, it's converting it to 0 because it's
not numeric to begin with. The rest of the time, it would convert it to some
number between 1 and 9.
Presumably, what you want is the value of the byte from 0 to 255. So, you
first need to convert $c to that value using the ord function.
$c1 = ((ord($c) & 0xf0) >> 4) & 0x0f;
$str1 = hex($c1); #convert to hex
I don't know what this hex function is supposed to do. Most likely, you want
$str1 = sprintf("%02x", $c1);
$c2 = $c & 0x0F; #get the low nibble
$str2 = hec($c2); #convert to hex
$str2 = sprintf("%02x", ord($c) & 0x0f);
Thank you for all your suggestions.
It's solved by using :
for ($i=0; $i < (length($gotit)); $i++) {
my $c = substr($gotit, $i, 1);
$str1 = sprintf("%01x", ((ord($c) & 0xf0) >> 4) &
0x0f);
$str2 = sprintf("%01x", ord($c) & 0x0f);
print $str1.$str2."\t";
print "\n";
}
At least for converting the data.
But another problem is it's only show the first 8 bytes only.
The data sent from the device is 11 bytes, so now 3 bytes are
missing.
I think it's something about the buffer (?)
::welly hartanto::
Below is the flow on how to read the data :
The thing is the data sometimes will form in a negative byte.
That's why some bitwise and AND operation exist.
To produce the right output I should :
1. Seperate the first 4 bit ( with & 0xF0 and 4 bitwise) .
2. And get the value back with & 0x0F.
3. Store the value ( name it "first").
4. The rest 4 bit with the & 0x0F.
5. Store the value as "second".
6. Make both value formed as hex string then concate them as
firstsecond.
For example, the first byte which will be sent from the card reader
device
will always 0110(bin), which is 126(dec) or 7E(hex).
1. The & 0xF0
0110 <--- original value
&
0111
2. The >> 4
0111 >> 4 = 0111
3. The & 0xF0
0111
&
0111
4. The value is 7(dec) and 7(hex)
5. The last 4bit with & 0xF0
0110
&
1110
6. The value is 14(dec) or E(hex)
7. So the result will be 7E ( after concate with the first value ).

HTH, David Yeah ... Of course more digging for Pearl is absolutely what I need. I was just so curious because the same algorithm which is "cross-worked" in java and vc++, but not in my first perl script. I've been interested in Pearl since it can be used either to make a "native" application and also web. Just to get ready before Sun Java Creator make my machine hung ... ;-)

I have a server with some disk space shared using Samba. Each user has an account and a home share. When a user logs in to a workstation, I'd like their home share on the Samba server to be automatically mounted, and then unmounted when they log off. I'm using Gnome/GDM with Debian Sarge. I'm sure there is an easy way to do this that I haven't found... Thanks for any assistance in this. I'm sorry if I misunderstand, but after reading your mail, I have 2 assumtions: 1. Users use debian with gnome/gdm in the different machine and need to mount the share everytime they log in. Create a directory for mounting user share. Then create a file with 0700 for everyuser place in a save place : #!/bin/bash smbmount //serveraddress/sharedfolder /pathtomountingpoint -o username=whatever,password=pwd; exit 0; add these line to $HOME/user/.bashrc : if [ -f PATHTOSCRIPTFILE ]; then . PATHTOSCRIPTFILE; fi that's all. I have about 500+ users (students). I do not like to store user passwords as clear text in user's home directory. Is there way to go around this. That's why 0700 file mask is recommended or 0500. And have the script name not to "show up". Name it "fancybash.sh" or something inrelated ;-) You can find yourself the most secure way to place the script, but for this to work it needs to be stored in a place where your user have access into it. But if the shared samba folder use the same authentication ( user/pwd ) for every user, you could have root do the mount thing. Sorry for wrong info, I mean if the samba shared folder is the same folder that needed by every user then you can create a directory which accessible for all users and mounting it via /etc/fstab. Create a group where all of your users must be added into. And have the share folder mapped with the group pemission. For example : //serverpath/thesharedfolder /mnt/samba smbfs user,password=smbpassword,uid=1000 ,gid=1000,username=smbusername,auto 0 0 I believe there are more advanced and easier ways to do it. But those are the things I usually do.
