Hi!

Someone just found this guide, and was posting on #gentoo about why it wasn’t working for them. Simply put, it’s out of date.

Would you mind removing it in some fashion, and/or updating the information and posting on some kind of dynamic medium like gentoo-wiki?

Cheers –

Another good thing about the Asus Eee pc is that it does not overheat when used over long periods of time. **

nice link, we also tried the 0-byte-msi trick, but this didn’t help too much…

I’m having the same problem and have not been able to find a resolution as of yet. HP is absolutely no help at all. I found this link and it does seem to resolve the time it takes to deploy printers, but also seems to break printing completely. I’m at a loss as to why there is next to zero information on this when i google it, and why HP is taking so long to fix it.

Comment on vmware workstation on ubuntu 9.10 beta by iSO

iSO — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 05:54:55 +0000

no, i’m also using 32bit on my notebook.
the second modification (the line in bootstrap) was because i had some problems with mouse focus in the vm, especially in full screen. without it, vmware worked also but was horrible to use.

Just a quick note – I followed Sebastian’s instructions first (your Step 1) and then, before attempting to start VMWare Workstation, followed your Step 2 above. This did not work. Neither VM-Player nor WM-Wks would start.

I then removed the export line from /etc/vmware/bootstrap, and now it works… perhaps a difference between 32bit(which I’m using) and 64bit? Not sure. In any event thanks, just wanted to mention this difference.

regards,
mg

it seems that even when we removed the printers using the printserver dialogue in windows, there are some parts of the upd still around. maybe we will need to remove all printers, then completely empty the c:\windows\…\spooler folder….

I have been working with HP UPD ver 4.5 4.7 and now 5.0 but they all seem to lack a good response time working within citrix and mapping printers via policies. the problem is speed. when your policies have more then one printer using the same HP UPD driver it seems to hang the system taking a long time to finsih mapping the printers. but if you use the Native driver it maps with good speed. Citrix does have a tool that you can use to mesuae this called printer stress tool. I am not sure if at time of mapping is it going out to each printer via snmp to get its settings or should it be getting that info from the print server only.
But using the HP UPD keeps causing unstable conditions on the farm where it will crash (randomly) the Citrix Print service and / or the Windows Print Spooler

Comment on lpic-1 certification achieved by iSO

iSO — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 13:35:36 +0000

i used a book which aims at lpic certification. the ones from open source press are really nice.
however, you cannot learn it from books alone, you need to do exercises, maybe with virtual machines. it helps if you use a linux distribution for your everyday work instead of windows (at least if you don’t do _all_ your work on guis).
