SSH secure login problem
by C Neil Bauers 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

I have been lurking here for a while wondering what this group is all about and suddenly I've got a problem where you might be able to help. I am trying to do passive ftp file transfers tunelled over an SSH secure login. I am running vsftpd on a SuSE 8.1 box. I can do ssh logins to this box. Normal ftp works fine. OpenSSH appears to be installed and running. I can do sftp to localhost if logged into the console or via an SSH connection. I am using Macromedia MX on Windoze to create the files I want to transfer. I have read the manual and followed their instructions to install putty.exe and plink.exe. Things seem to be nearly working but I am clearly missing a step or two. When I try to upload a file, I'm prompted to do the ssh login. After that the ftp transfer fails. I think the SuSE box is misconfigured but I have failed to google up a solution. I suspect I'm failing to understand something deep so I'm searching google for the wrong stuff. Any ideas? Neil.

Printers problem
by Nick Daniels 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

Hi I have a Canon BJC1000 running under Suse 9.1, this printer has worked O.K. on all Suse distros since Suse 7.0 (and other distros) However on Suse 9.1 the pages are being printed in "half width" A4. Have I overlooked anything obvious? Regards Nick Daniels

This may be a rather silly question, but have you run xorgconfig, or did you just use the setting of xorg which arises at the end of the install? -- John Seago Linux User #219566 (http://counter.li.org) AFFS http://www.affs.org.uk/

IIRC I resolved it by playing around with the dpi resolution in the printer config page in CUPS. Which may or may not apply in your case but....

xorgconfig, video resolution, xdm and gdm - queries and tips
by Chris Green 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

This is as much a story of my upgrade as anything but there are some tips and questions embedded in it as well. As I said the Slackware 9.1 to 10 upgrade went pretty smoothly, all the really vital things like the networking started up with no problems at all after the upgrade. The two things that needed some work were the xfree -> xorg move and xdm. After finding xorgconfig (thank you whoever it was) the basics of video configuration were quite easy. Just copying my xfree config file to xorg.conf worked reasonably well and I then ran xorgconfig to check it as much as to change it. The next issue was that xdm didn't work, since I use a Win2k system to display my Linux desktop (via the Cygwin/X server) this was rather vital to me. I found that 'startx' would bring my xfce desktop up OK on the local display but xdm gave an error in its log file saying that XDMCP failed to open a socket with errno 97. A bit of investigation (Google search) suggested that this might be that the xdm I had was expecting IPV6. So I sidestepped the problem by trying gdm instead, this works perfectly and looks a bit prettier too so I'm happy. I did have a bit of a problem initially when trying to login on my Win2k machine but that turned out to be because I was typing away on the wrong keyboard! The one remaining video issue is that I can't get the native video resolution that I want, the card supports the 1600x1200 that I want and so does the display but I can't get it to actually do it. The remote desktop via gdm is at 1600x1200 but when I fire up a local desktop I get only 1024x768. I've put the 1600x1200 resolutions as my first choice in the xorg.conf file, what is limiting it to less? -- Chris Green (chris(a)areti.co.uk) "Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence."

Printer fonts
by Chris Green 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

What decides the fonts available for printers? I want to make a few more fonts available when printing from knoda (a KDE application) as there isn't a decent sans-serif font at the moment. How do I add a printer font for use in a specific application? -- Chris Green (chris(a)areti.co.uk) "Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence."
