Excellent. Yeah, if you had anything other than 6.3.0 on your WinXP install, it had different firmware which would prompt you to update everytime. To get the current version, use Slim Devices' instructions for Debian as Ubuntu is based on Debian: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?DebianPackage That's what I did, worked fine. Remember to type "sudo" in front of the command if you get an error about permissions. > I will try to tackle getting my Canon printer to work which I understand > has no support for Linux drivers from Canon. It depends which model - Canon have released a few, there are reverse-engineered ones and there are generic ones. On some models, there's just nothing you can use though, like my MF5770. Canon is definitely Linux-unfriendly. > I am very grateful for all the help you provided, I still feel lost in > all the cryptic commands of Linux but slowly I am learning. Be observant of what the commands do - they're not all that crypyic. After a while, you'll start to see commonalities. You'll realize you did this before. I am no more than a newbie myself. Just this morning I solved a problem I've had for a few days now with the IRBlaster plugin when it was pointed out to me it may be trying to write files to a different directory than I thought: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34655&page=2 I still have issues with my CD-RW drive, writing discs and ripping using the directory I mounted it to. I'd also like a few desktop customizations - removing the useless Desktop Search icon, for instance. Haven't investigated that one yet. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34651 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
