LYRIX

  1. If you type in PRINT {name} {#} and get print:## memory fault. You have typed in and invalid print name and/or #.

  2. LYRIX ERROR (120) - Cannot open temporary file: A file in the temporary file directory, /tmp/wp, does not exist or has incorrect permissions. This usually means that the permissions on /tmp, /tmp/wp or /tmp/wp/{file} are wrong.

  3. LYRIX ERROR (208) - fprint error (208): Local print option: error in enable or disable string. This means that the person does not have a corresponding entry in the Tcap file for the type of terminal they are using for local printing. Make sure that the .wprc has been linked and that there is an entry in the Tcap file for their terminal type, ex:

       #3161         !  The terminal type must start with a '#'
       #3151
       ENABLE=16-18  !  Numbers are separated by '-'
       DISABLE=16-20 
       ))            !  The entry must end with '))'
       #vt100
       ENABLE=27-91-53-105
       DISABLE=27-91-52-105
       ))
    

  4. ERROR on dev 1/40 - Either there is not enough free space left on the hard disk or the ULIMIT is to small to handle the file size.

    1. Check the free space on the computer and free up as much space as possible.
    2. Check the ULIMIT in the /etc/default/login file. If not there it uses the default. Which is 2 megs for 2.1.3 and lower and 1 gigabyte for 2.2 and later.

  5. To setup the printers so Lyrix will work you must run /usr/lib/wp/print.setup.

    1. The spooler name for draft is lp -d11.
    2. The spooler name for letter is lp -d12.
    3. The page length must be set to 60 lines for a laser.

    NOTE: If you are using a laserjet III. The printer numonic must be set to laserjet. If not, it will print 61 lines to a page, not 60 as you requested.

  6. If you use the .HM option under Lyrix. Lyrix will automatically put you on the line after the heading. So if you set .HM7, Lyrix will put you on line 8 at the start of each page.

  7. lpstat: Can't Lock Output Que or lp: Can't Lock Output Que: I believe that this means that are to many files spooled. Run fsck and remove all files in the lost+found directory.

  8. To link the correct version of lyrix:

    1. Login as root
    2. Type in cd /usr/lib/wp
    3. Then ln .wprc[#] .wprc

    For example ln .wprc5.0.0 .wprc or ln .wprc5.0.1 .wprc

  9. Read_Tcap () returned false. This means that the terminal type in the /usr/lib/wp/Tcap file is either missing of entered incorrectly. Check the entry in the Tcap file.

  10. The maximum file size name is:

    1. 14 if not used with IAS.
    2. 8 if used with IAS.

  11. Lyrix will only list the first 14 characters in a files name. So if you construct a file with a name longer than 14 characters you can only access it by keying in the name. Lyrix will not access the file if you try to high light the name.

    Ex: file name SouthernC.B.apps has 16 characters in the name.

    Lyrix will display - SouthernC.B.ap

    You would need to type in - SouthernC.B.apps to access this file.

  12. Wyse 60 terminals needed to be set up differently under UNIX as compared to XENIX.

    XENIX - wy60
    UNIX - wy60-pc

    This is because XENIX uses '/etc/termcap' to define the terminal. Where UNIX uses '/usr/lib/terminfo/terminfo.src' to define the terminal. Make sure their is a 'wy60-pc' entry in the 'usr/ias/wbterm.in' and '/usr/lib/wp/terminfo' files and the ttytype is set to 'wy60-pc'. Also check to make sure the terminal in set to 25 lines and 8/1 data/stop bits.

    NOTE: '/usr/lib/wp/termcap' defines the terminals under Lyrix. So check to see the entry you need is in this file. If not check the '/etc/termcap' file. If need be copy the '/etc/termcap' file to '/usr/lib/wp/termcap'.

  13. If the menu screen is messed up check the 'inittab' file and make sure the terminal is using one of our definitions. There is a reported problem with using the 'Easyadm#' definitions. They problem has to do with TAB3 being missing from these definitions. This sets the horizontal delay on tabs, and the menu screen was a bunch of tabs in it.

  14. The 286 Binaries under SCO 5.0.5 are messed up and Lyrix wont work. You will need to restore the following 2 binaries from an older version.

    /opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.5Eb/bin/i286emul
    /opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.5Eb/bin/x286emul

  15. If Lyrix is messed up under SCO 5.0.5 check to make sure 'scoansi' is defined in '/usr/lib/wp/termcap'.

  16. If Lyrix is messed up on Termulator II connected with a NIC. Check Tcap make sure that 'ansic' is listed under 'ansi' not 'coloransi'.
