cups syslog printer

I wanted to print to syslog, instead of paper, so i created the syslog backend for cups.

You have to place this file in /usr/lib/cups/backend and make sure is has the execute bit on.

#!/bin/bash

logger $*
env | logger
cat $6 | logger

If you have named this file 'syslog' then configure your printer with a device URL starting with syslog:

Installing java 6 on Ubuntu Lucid (10.04)

To install Sun/Oracle java 6 on Ubuntu Lucid do the following in a Terminal window:

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-bin sun-java6-plugin

If this says: E: Package sun-java6-jre has no installation candidate then do:

sudo bash -c " echo 'deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner' >>/etc/apt/sources.list "
sudo apt-get update

And try again.

When you have installed the packages you should do:

sudo update-java-alternatives -v -s java-6-sun

Dibbler config for Xs4all IPv6 pilot

/etc/dibbler/client.conf

log-level 7

log-mode syslog

iface ppp0 {
        pd
}

Some problems i see with this configuration:

  • the link is not always ppp0 it can also be another ppp interface
  • even when option domain is not specified, it still mutates the /etc/resolv.conf file
