Re: zoom client for bullseye

[albcares]

I would suggest trying a different browser: Vivaldi.
It's a "fork" of chromium, with some interesting features.
I.e. it solved my troubles with teams in mint 17.3; maybe not a solution,
just a practical patch...

By now  for instanceI'm with a B/W laser multifunction by samsung, scx4100
series (quite old). After some troubles for fitting it, I feel well and
it's good and cheap, and overall you can forget of sending a print anytime
to keep the cartridge awake!

the weird is that I've been running also OpenSuSE on the same engine,

thanks for Ur fast answer. I'll try to do my best to explain.
I correctly see Optra labelled as "generic" in the printer list. The firs
print I get is generally good. But if I send another one, it jumps out as
wide as if it saw only the first quarter up the sheet: wide fonts, wider
grafics; the white field itself is printed with artefacts like clouds of
black spots. Each time I want to print beyond one document I must turn off
- turn on the printer. I supposed that any process remained hanging
somewhere but I couldn't find out.

troubles running a printer on Mint17.3 "Rosa"

[albcares]

dear Sirs and Madams
I'm afraid my question could be off-topic; but anyway I try all the same
since Mint appears to have a strong relationship with Debian.

so, the matter is that I own an old laser printer Lexmark Optra e310. Few
months ago I had to reinstall CUPS due to a bad mistake that made it
completely out of service. After having restored CUPS I tried to join my
printer;but although I got PPD from various sites as "nodevice.com" or "
openprinting.org" none of them seems to run correctly.

Finally I set up the Optra as "generic" with PCL5; but this solution is
quite unsatisfactory, too.

Can anyone give me any sort of help?

Thanks in advance.

I have got troubles in installing AdobeAIR 2.6.xxx on Mint or better the
e-book reader I tried to install afterward said it needed a newer AIR to be
run. unfortunately Adobe has not been supporting AIR for Linux since 2011.
Any of you can address me to solve this problem? The e-book reader in
joined with a secondary school book printed by DeAgostini. It would be
rather awful turning back to Microsoft just for this.
Thanks a lot for your answer.
Looking forward to reading from you

I had the same problem with an account on virgilio.it. I tried to open it
through an old version of Firefox (I mean, FF15 or some) but nothing: it
was always redirecting me to the home page. At the same time, I could use
Opera and all ran well.
My laptop being a Acer 1400 empowered (?) with 1 G ram, openSuSE,  I was
afraid of installing a newer version of Firefox but finally I did and
virgilio,it started to open regularly.

In another older desktop pc Pentium II with zenwalk (slackware) I tried to
install IceCat. I might have tuned it rather better, but I think You're
able to manage with it. Try this, I'm afraid you need to download the
source-code and configure by hand...

good luck! let's know.

 however it has nothing about making the printer available to the apps.

 i searched the web again, and discovered there are things like kprinter
 which will work.

 now to figure out which of them will actually work.

 kprint(er) is out because i don't want to install all of kde to get it.

 regardless i'm on the write track.

 the really interesting tidbit.  libre prints to something called the

Re: Question about GRUB recovery using Debian 7.x LiveCD

[albcares]

Sorry to Diogene Laerce. I was very confused. And also, my answer
doesn't answer to any question, I fear. anyway:

thanks to this topic I have forced myself for trying to fix a trouble
with Grub, and indeed I have done!
well, my old PC had run a Mint 7, together with a winXP and Zenwalk.
Grub was installed on mint; few months ago it suddenly stopped running
and I stopped using my old PC, too.
This morning I launched a live SystemRescueCD 1.1.5 - another quite
old one - and I found out that the problem was of the partition, or
better of any bad superblock in it. So I listed the superblocks of the
partition through TestDisk I could find in the live CD; then I mounted
just that partition while having changed the superblock.
At Last, I ordered to SYstemRescueCD to make a new installation of
grub in the previous partition newly mounted.
So I could boot mint7 and give a $ sudo update-grub.
this way allows to restore a basic grub without any other tool.
n.b. SystemRescue is based on gentoo and shows a root-terminal so I
didn't need to play with sudo. I guess that any other live distro
could run as well.

# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt (where grub is)
# grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

that's all. Thankyou very much for being patient

 thanks to this topic I have forced myself for trying to fix a trouble
 with Grub, and indeed I have done!
 well, my old PC had run a Mint 7, together with a winXP and Zenwalk.
 Grub was installed on mint; few months ago it suddenly stopped running grub.
 This morning I launched a live SystemRescueCD 1.1.5 - a quite old one,
 too - and I found out that the problem was of the partition, or better
 of any bad superblock in it. So I listed the superblocks of the
 partition through TestDisk I could find in the live CD; then I mounted
 just that partition while having changed the superblock.
 At Last, I ordered to SYstemRescueCD to make a new installation of grub
 in the previous partition newly mounted.
 So I could boot mint7 and give a $ sudo update-grub.
 this way allows to restore a basic grub without any other tool.
 n.b. SystemRescue is based on gentoo and shows a root-terminal so I
 didn't need to play with sudo. I guess that any other live distro could
 run as well.

 # mount /dev/sda2 /mnt (where grub is)
 # grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

 that's all. Thankyou very much for being patient

  Good luck !
 
  Hello.
 
  Thank you for that suggestion.
 
  At first look, that seems useful for me, for a number of reasons

   We drop UEFI Boot Support. This does not mean not being able to fix
  grub systems based on UEFI. What it means is that I was going to make
  sure that you could boot Rescatux cd in EFI mode without a problem.
  You will be able to boot Rescatux cd from a UEFI system if the CD is
  booted in legacy boot mode (BIOS) but not as EFI mode. The reason for
  dropping this UEFI boot support is because of Debian Live for its
  Debian Wheezy version not being good enough for enabling UEFI boot
  based on grub2. I also do not want to achieve the same result by using
  current SG2D and the Rescatux isolinux image as I did in the old days.
  I just want a plain isolinux based ISO image and that’s it. I also do

Re: OT: Fruit (was Re: Installation failed - again - why am I not surprised)

that's right or almost right. The story told of a pumpkin and an
acorn. And when the man lied under the oak to have a sleep, he was
actually awaken by a falling acorn that made his nose bleeding. This
is why the big pumpkins grow from a shaggy grass.

 Just for the record, I would consider cherry to be a better
 replacement than blackberry here. The Blackberry grows on a trailing
 bush with thorny tendrils. Although its fruit is small, it's unlikely
 anyone would sleep under one. A cherry, on the other hand, grows on a
 full-sized tree under which someone could conceivably sleep. In
 addition, the stone in the cherry would give added impact when falling
 one someone's nose :*)
