[arch-general] Printer driver
by Maciej Sobkowski 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hi, I want to install driver for my Brother DCP-J315W printer. I've downloaded driver files from brother's site, since there is no package, neither in repo nor in aur. It was in deb format, also rpm available. The driver is split into two packages: dcpj315wlpr and dcpj315wcupswrapper. I converted them to tar.gz archive with deb2targz, extracted and I don't know where to put the files to get the driver working. Hierarchy in cupswrapper: /usr/local/Brother/Printer/dcpj315w/cupswrapper/, and there are brcupsconfpt1 brdcpj315w.ppd cupswrapperdcpj315w files. In lpr there is /usr/local/Brother/Printer/dcpj315w/lpd/ where are brdcpj315wfilter filterdcpj315w psconvertij2, and /usr/local/Brother/Printer/dcpj315w/inf/ where are brdcpj315wfunc brio08ba.bcm brio08bc.bcm brio08bf.bcm brio08bk.bcm paperinfij2 brdcpj315wrc brio08bb.bcm brio08be.bcm brio08bg.bcm ImagingArea setupPrintcapij and also usr/bin with brprintconf_dcpj315w. Should I put them in these directories in my system? maciejjo

The file /etc/crontab must exist, even if it's empty, or inotify support will be disabled at runtime. As packaged, without this file: 2011-04-27T09:16:16-04:00 <cron.info> akherou /usr/sbin/crond[21437]: (CRON) STARTUP (1.4.7) 2011-04-27T09:16:16-04:00 <cron.err> akherou /usr/sbin/crond[21437]: (CRON) This directory or file can't be watched (/etc/crontab): No such file or directory 2011-04-27T09:16:16-04:00 <cron.info> akherou /usr/sbin/crond[21437]: (CRON) INFO (running without inotify support) After doing "touch /etc/crontab": 2011-04-27T10:14:22-04:00 <cron.info> akherou /usr/sbin/crond[22784]: (CRON) STARTUP (1.4.7) 2011-04-27T10:14:22-04:00 <cron.info> akherou /usr/sbin/crond[22784]: (CRON) INFO (running with inotify support) I suggest including an empty /etc/crontab in this package, as you made a conscious decision to enable inotify support in the build. Possibly it should have some comments in it explaining why it has no content, instead of a literally empty file. Other than that, this package is working fine for me, nice work.

In the case of redland-1.0.13-1 and redland-compat-1.0.12-1 that means I cannot have both at the same time. Which means I have to choose between kdelibs (depends on soprano, hence redland-compat) and slv2 (depends on redland-1.0.13) (or, in my system, between having KDE software and having ardour). Any way around this? I'm wondering why redland-compat isn't at the same version as redland, though I'm sure if this has been done there's a pretty good reason.

[arch-general] Postfix_Tutorial wiki info out of date?
by David C. Rankin 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

Guys, Looking at the postfix tutorial wiki, it looks like the dovecot/spamassassin information is out of date. Not being that familiar with each, I didn't want to drop a note flagging it until somebody else had looked, but the dovecot config information looked like the old dovecot-1 config. Can somebody familiar with dovecot and spamassassin drop by the page a check whether the information there is still good info? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Postfix_Tutorial I was looking for the spamassassin information in particular. I have spamassassin set up with dovecot and postfix and I have been training it, but it doesn't seem like it is flagging any spam? I am using an old setup to filter mail through spamassassin with postfix main.cf: mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -a "$EXTENSION" and then a .procmailrc file in $HOME, but looking at the logs, it doesn't look like anything has been filtered in months. (I was working on chasing that down.) If the page is out-of-date, I'll fill in the new spamassassin information when I get the source of my issue figured out. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
