  [SOLVED] HP 3840, 3845 printer. can't get LL/HPLIP to recognize
Posted by: mountainhick - 07-21-2014, 08:07 PM - Forum: Printing and Scanning - Replies (8)

I referred to this thread: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...opic=270.0  and followed tutorials. HPLIP is updated, also did a full system update for LL

Running through the menu/settings/printers menu, the printer is not seen/recognized

Running through menu/accessories/HP device manager, via USB I/O selection, the printer also is not "discovered"

The printer is plugged in to USB, and powered up. Tried restarting printer, unplugging/plugging, restarting computer in multiple different sequences, still nothing.

Please help. I have no idea how to proceed from here.

Also, I am trying to fix this via talking my mother through it step by step by phone, so unfortunately, it is quite laborious even to just get her to enter simple terminal commands. Whatever, have to get her through it.

Thanks

  CD rom suddenly wont write? :((
Posted by: elliott - 07-21-2014, 12:34 AM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (5)

hi guys i often use my cdrom to daul boot and noticed that it no longer loads when i start my computer up with a iso in it. and when i put a cd rom in to burn, it gives me an error after it tells me i can burn about it not being able to mount... i used this cd rom yesterday, and it still reads in my bios so something tells me this may be a settings issue, do you think me just updating could have caused it seeing it worked fine yesterday? im really worried because i use the cd rom a lot. Sad reinstall drivers somehow or does it sound like it broke? it still tries to burn, i see it listed in biso and in my os.... scared here any advice?

"Failed to unmount 'blank CD-rom disc" drive cannot be used for burning."

  Cannot install the right language pack
Posted by: rayon - 07-20-2014, 04:18 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (2)

Hello,

I want to switch the system language to German. To do so I followed the description given here in the forum.

Update language support

It's checking the language support but doesn't ask me to install a new language pack (I told the system to make German the system language.).

So I thought maybe the German language pack is already there. In the list of languages there is "German", but it's grey. So I cannot activate German.

If I click on 'Install / Remove Languages' there is already a tick at German.

If I deinstall the German language pack and install it again nothing changes.

I don't know what else I can do. Is it possible to install the language package just as a normal package with apt-get ?

  Microsoft wheel mouse (optical) has no pointer
Posted by: TimPlaz - 07-20-2014, 11:14 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (16)

Each time I boot up my newly installed Linux-Lite 2.0 box, the mouse pointer is nothing more then a mini snowy tv screen. I have a heck of a time trying to figure out where to place it and click to do what I want to do in Linux. The only alternative I found was to change the mouse theme. That works while the session is open. Once I shut down or log-off and then turn it back on, its back to the snowy TV icon. Is there a fix or permanent way around this problem?

  Removing the USB Data Card (Mobile Broadband) Hangs the system
Posted by: arunp - 07-20-2014, 07:25 AM - Forum: Network - Replies (2)

Dear LL,

I face a new issue in LL 2 which was not experienced in LL 1.08;

1. The Mobile broadband data card asks for a password every time to connect.

2. When the connection is disconnected and when the USB data card is removed, the network connection manager hangs (Icon becomes X mark) and the system also hangs and no other function works.

This was absolutely not experienced in LL1.08, i used to remove the data card even when it is connected live, the connection manager just disconnects the Internet and shows the message box "you are disconnected" and it continues normal operations.

Is there a way to set "No confirmation" when deleting, or a way to "One click delete" an item?

Thanks

  Linux Lite Login Sound Change
Posted by: Valtam - 07-19-2014, 01:49 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (4)

It's come to my attention that the login sound for Linux Lite did come from an existing source, despite my efforts to try and find the original source initially. As a result Linux Lite must replace this sound with an original source.

Thanks to Graham https://plus.google.com/103551780635250917831/posts for producing this for Linux Lite Smile Graham produces original music so check some of it out.

The new Login Sound will be available in your updates soon.

  Keyboard garbled
Posted by: pelouk - 07-18-2014, 04:39 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (4)

Just a newbie as of today and trying to get started but I've hit a real stumbling block with my keyboard input.

I'm using a Medion laptop which has a feature which has never been a problem in the past but is now. It has the usual qwerty layout but several of the keys (e.g. the J K and L) have numeral superscripts. Since installation, I find that unless I hold the Fn key down while typing such characters, I get nonsense - for example, "keyboard" comes out as "2eyb6rd".

I've checked that my keyboard is registered under system as "English UK" but can't figure out how to correct this. I can't even use my password and am sending this from another machine.

Can anyone help, please?
