What do you call low speed? I usually choose the lowest one available.

So, then it either should be fixed or dropped, right?

I keep on trying it every now and then thinking that maybe this problem has finally been resolved, but I keep on wasting discs. Xburn works without having to pull in KDE libraries. Being the optimist that I am, I have to believe that Brasero is in so many distros because it actually works, which is ...

Why is it that I just can't ever get Brasero to write a disc without terminal errors, but I never have problems with other DVD writing programs? This has been going on for years , over different distros and on more than one computer. Laptops, desktops, different LM distros, different other distros. ...

Yes, it is the default program, of sorts, but the OS doesn't recognise it as such, for the pop-up.

When I insert a blank DVD, an auto-launch pop-up indicates that no default DVD writer program is set. When I check the Preferred Program list, there is no spot for a DVD writer program and there is no obvious way to make an addition. When I searched here for clues, there is nothing obvious (but then...

Um, so that means it is for sharing through the computer to which the printer is attached?

My printer is on a NAS box's USB port, so it isn't attached to a PC directly and I've never had to make a guest edit before for it to work.

In Debian Mint ( at least the XFCE version ) Samba is pretty much broken by default so you should have done this first: sudo apt-get install libsmbclient sudo apt-get install smbclient sudo apt-get install python-smbc Our neverending SAMBA journey continues. The libsmbclient is installed here, howe...

Why not pick one, Lumikki?

Well, if you can hack up a basic list of common, qualifying, names, and will extend the poll with new names as they are submitted in the comments, I'd think "why not start a poll now?" :mrgreen: Starting a poll early will unfairly affect voting. Alternatively, collect suggestions in this ...

If you do an lsmod, then you will see what driver is loaded now.

For me, it is now:

$ lsmod

This is the last line in my return; yours may be elsewhere.

I was thinking more of a cut-off date from a production point of view.

The LM 13 naming thread is now locked, but (after doing a search here and in Community) there isn't one started for 14, so before time runs short... What should LM 14 be called? - a female name with a first letter of "N", ending in "a" - tradition frequently has Greek names picke...

I have one PC box that does this, every now and then, usually when "something" crashes or has some sort of fault. The solution is to power down the box completely. I usually do this by pulling the power cord at the right time, just after the box first shuts down and before it powers back u...

Your Internet response is so slow because the incorrect driver was sent out in your Linux distro. You have the RealTek rtl8111/8168 chip, but chances are that your Linux is using the /8169 driver. This causes your slow throughput. You are trying to get the correct driver, unarc it, then you will hav...

If it is that bad, go to a public library or ask a friend to download it for you, and copy the archive to a USB mem-stick or mem-card.

If you need to install the dev's header files, for compiling, then you will need to download / install them, too.

OK, I finally found out why my driver would not compile. A few weeks ago, I had installed the Linux header files for devs (as per instructions) and, since there were no signs of problems or complaints from the system, I figured they were OK. They were listed with exclamation marks in the installed l...

After attempting that command, it gave: Failed to open "smb://192.168.0.100/". Failed to retrieve share list from server. However, I only changed the smb.conf file, as noted above, and, so far, the file manager can access the NAS box properly, so it looks as if the nsswitch.conf file may n...

Interesting. For all of the people that I've read about who had troubles networking,as I have, and solved it with these changes, I have never heard a counter argument to it. Without these changes, I can't access network storage. Some distros are set up out of the box to access it, this one isn't. So...

Would the Xfce devs finally fix the SAMBA install so that it works properly out of the box, please? The following line in etc/samba/smb.conf needs uncommenting and to be reordered: name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast host And etc/nsswitch.conf needs editing: hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=...
