I was thinking the CM2320 until you said you needed the accounting.
Maybe you can do the accounting via CUPS?

Re: [SUMMARY] Printing across multiple pages?

Jon 'maddog' Hall — 2010-03-15T16:35:58

While I appreciate Bill's fondness for pdfposter, and particularly
because of the command-line interface, I would like to put in a good
word for "PosteRazor".

I take lots of pictures, and PosteRazor is SO EASY for taking some of
them and making a large poster, perhaps after using Inkscape to add text
over the base image.  PosteRazor handles lots of different image inputs,
and has a nice graphical interface to let you plan how you are going to
print.  Then the output goes into one PDF file to send to your favorite
printer.  After that it is "trim and tape".

PosteRazor is delivered on Ubuntu.

[SUMMARY] Printing across multiple pages?

Bill McGonigle — 2010-03-15T15:43:35

pdfposter wins!  It appears to work on the vector data and happens to be 
in Fedora already which makes my job easy.  Syntax is marginally 
convoluted, but the EXAMPLES section is sufficient:

   pdfposter -p2x2Let infile.pdf outfile.pdf

Among the downsides, the above actually generates a 6-page PDF with two 
very narrow pages (with the edges of the chart I wanted to print in my 
case), which looks like a rounding error.  pdfposter also causes my 
python to emit lots of warnings about deprecated module usage.  I did 
not look for an updated version to see if those are fixed, this is using 
version 0.5.0-4.fc12.

Thanks for all suggestions!

Re: pvcreate to raid1 fails

Jerry Feldman — 2010-03-14T15:20:05

I just want to add the response to my bugzilla submission. Note that 
there is an LVM2 as well as kernel issue. Both are fixed, but neither is 
in the latest Fedora 12 updates. When I have some time I will install 
LVM2 2.02.62 either by building from source or binary install from the 
repo. I may wait until Fedora 13 to try it again possibly by installing 
the beta.

----------
I believe there is a combination of failures here.

1) LVM2 had an issue where a pvcreate would fail if the underlying device (e.g.
/dev/md1) was misaligned (aka: alignment_offset=-1).  This has since been fixed
and is available in LVM2 2.02.62, see:
http://sources.redhat.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=lvm2.git;a=commit;h=8cb8f65010c

(NOTE: please verify that /sys/block/md1/alignment_offset is -1)

2) The kernel (2.6.32.9-70.fc12.x86_64) does not contain the latest upstream
fixes that were made to blk_stack_limits().  Without these fixes the stacking
of limits (by MD) is prone to failure (resulting in alignment_offset=-1), see:
http://git.ker

Re: Re: Google Wave?

Ralph Mack — 2010-03-13T21:45:11

Yes, what I have in mind would be very usable for mind mapping.
I am also trying hard not to remember that it could be adapted
to virtual role-playing experiences when a quick map is needed.
I could even maintain a burndown chart with it...

We actually tried bending a mind-mapping tool to do what we
wanted - there are a couple of plugins that do that for wave,
along with a _very_ preliminary UML tool. However, mind mapping
tools know all about mind-mapping, and UML tools know all about
UML, and.... :(

The beauty of this tool is it doesn't know much about the semantics
of anything in particular. It just knows how people typically
try to put pictures together without regard for what they mean.
It deals with details like legible text placed in the indicated
boxes, adjusting the height and width of grid rows and columns as
people think of more or less text to stuff in them, and making
lines meet where they're supposed to - anything you've ever had
to stop what you're doing to fix on, yes, a whiteboard, during

There was (and I assume is) an active discussion group around merging
mind-mapping with Wave functionality, usually through gadgets:

Mystery solved..... Jr. sysadmin tried to "help" and forgot to mention
it. Trying to make systems package-for-package identical, he did
downloaded all of the packages that were on the old system and did rpm
--force --nodeps -Uvh *. This included all of the glibc*
packages......

Re: Really old /proc weirdness?

Kenny Lussier — 2010-03-12T02:31:00

I've done diffs of /etc on them, and the only differences are things
that have to be different (ip address, etc.). sysctl, /etc/security/*
and /boot/config-* were the first things I checked.  The mystery has
gotten stranger, too. There is apparently a 2nd server that is now
displaying the same behavior. The system works, and almost everything
seems to be functioning fine. The only problem that I have seen so far
is that Tripwire scans are failing due to java memory issues. I'm not
sure if it's related or not yet.

I'll be doing some experimenting tomorrow (and probably all weekend)
to find out what went wrong.

Thanks,
Kenny

Doom III: "vertex array range in virtual memory: SOLVED"

Ken D'Ambrosio — 2010-03-11T17:14:58

Hello, all.  Please excuse me for quasi-spamming the list; this is meant
to be both informative and informational.  I recently took the plunge to
64-bit; I'd done it from time to time since '04, but this time was for
real.  And everything worked great... except Doom III.  Every time I
launched it, I'd get

WARNING: vertex array range in virtual memory (SLOW)
signal caught: Segmentation fault
si_code 1
[...]

and it would die.  Googled like crazy, found lots of people with the same
problem, but no resolution.  FINALLY figured out that it was an X library
issue.  While this hack won't fix XF86 machines, it works just fine for
X.org systems.  Specifically, in the doom3 wrapper script, I added:
export LIBGL_DRIVERS_DIR=/usr/lib32/dri

Now, there's a much better place for this tidbit of information: the Doom
III Linux FAQ over at ID Systems.  I e-mailed it to ttimo-Js+nYI8DoBJZroRs9YW3xA< at >public.gmane.org

If exact (warts and all) reproduction of the existing system is important
then my thoughts were along those same lines (I favor rsync, FWIW).

Actually, if the systems have the same disk HW my first approach would
be a straight dd copy.  I'd boot from something like a live DVD to
have a place to stand during the process, though I've occasionally done
this sort of cloning in-situ with judicious use of busybox and rsync.
If you clone the boot files don't forget to re-GRUB.


Yup - further motivation to clone instead of reconstruct if exact
reproduction is your mandate.  Of course, a cloned system won't give
you That Fresh Feeling as you'll always wonder how much b0rken stuff
and bitrot you replicated along with the good...
