I'm new to Fedora and must say I love it. Previous Debian and Arch user but feel at home now. I'm after a difinitive answer for this issue as I can't seem to find what I need anywhere. I'm running Fedora 11 kde 4.2.4 with an Epson Photo Stylus RX425 printer / scanner combo connected via usb. Is there any way to moniter the ink levels in this printer? I'm tearing my hair out.
View 9 RepliesHas anyone found a useful solution to monitor ink levels in a Canon MP 560 printer?
I was able to get the printer to work over a wireless network in Lucid but the printer properties do not show any ink levels.
I just dumped Ubuntu to try F-15. Was using natty for acouple of weeks, was installed on new comp. I found videos a little choppy so going to see how this works out.My question is how can I add the systrm moniter to the top bar. I was able to do this on natty using tips on tweaks and fixes.That took me a while to type the commands correctly so hoping to get commands for dummies version.Also is it possible to get CPU temp readings as well?

I keep having a problem where the mixer 'Surround' in my alsa volume gets maxed whenever I switch tracks in Amarok. I want to stop this from happening because it causes my speakers to buzz just loudly enough to drive me crazy.
I have an SB Live! 5.1 (emu10k1) card.
I don't really now where this goes but figured i start in the general forum, mods please move as needed.I got my f12 install up and running great. I recently burned an audio cd. when i used it in my car i noticed i had to turn the volume up a lot more then on my other burned cds. previously i used my mac to burn cds. the mp3 files are the same, they are located on a external hd that both computers access. the difference is significant. any ideas on why this is?

I ran openSUSE way back since version 7.3, before that I was on Redhat 6 and briefly at 5 before that. I know my way around Linux pretty well but two problems with Fedora are bothering me right now. I'll begin a separate thread for each one to keep things clear.The first problem is with sound. I remember having problems with the Intel ICH7 chipset and pulseaudio on openSUSE, but the problem I have with Fedora is different. Sound works, but each time after rebooting, I have to open alsamixer to turn the master volume up from zero. Being an openSUSE user, I am comfortable with KDE, so I am running KDE 4.6.1 as my DE.Two sound devices have been detected, one is the Intel soundcard, which is recognized as snd_hda_intel. The primary sound device, according to alsa, is my Logitech UVC cam.

I have tried ln -s /lib/systemd/system/multi user.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
And get the following error ln: failed to create symbolic link `/etc/systemd/system/default.target': File exists
I have even tried changing the /etc/systemd/system/default.target to my multi-user.target file to no aval.
I hooked up my laptop via monitor cable to the L.C.D. T.V. and ran a patch I found on Ubuntu forums because it wasn't showing up on the T.V. After that it asked me what screen resolution I wanted I entered it and then the screen worked! However, now when I play movies on either the T.V as a monitor or just on the laptop itself it comes out with bad video quality now. It sucks because that was the purpose of hooking up my T.V. as the monitor was to watch movies and videos I have downloaded.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with a bad entry in my system-config-printer on my notebook computer which I think is interfering with my ability to print. I run fedora 10 on several systems in my house. On one desktop, I have a printer hosted which I think I have successfully setup for wireless network sharing (an HP895) using IPP.My problem seems to be a bad entry in my system-config-printer on my notebook computer which seems to stall when I try to print from applications (Firefox for example.) on the notebook. If I open up "Printing", I have 3 printers listed... one of them is for when the printer is attached directly to the notebook, one of them is the working printer description "printer" and the 3d is the bad entry. If I click on the bad entry to try to delete it, I don't have that option, but If I try to look at the "properties" for that entry, system-config-printer stalls (as do other applications when the printing dialog box starts up, and I have to force them to shut down.)
I will attach some screenshots and a copy of my /etc/cups/printers.conf file.How do I get rid of this "bad entry" in the system-config-printers GUI ? It doesn't seem to exist in the printers.conf file.
I've bought a HP Photosmart printer, HP Photosmart wireless e-All-in-One printer - B110a and i've got a problem installing it properly. I'm using Debian 6.0 Squeeze. When i connect the printer, Debian doesn't recognize my printer as the Photosmart B109 printer for unknown reason. When i go to the site of HP and search for a driver, it directs me to this site:I've downloaded that latest hplip file as a .run file and installed it. My printer is recognized proparly, but when i try to print a colored image, it comes out black/white. Something is not crrect. Does anyone recognize this problem with this type HP printer?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am an experienced redHat/Fedora sysadmin but I'm completely new to ubuntu/debian world and the-way-the-things-works. I am trying to understand a few things. One of them is security related. Is AppArmor an extra security layer that protects individual services based in what is the normal and expected behavior, right? Why it is disabled in all run levels expect level 6 (reboot?)? Should I enable it on all run-levels? Should I select which service to protect or the defaults are fine ?
Is netfilter, the basic packet filter on Ubuntu 9.10? I founded iptables and I installed firestarter, but looks like firestarter is protecting nothing from outside, based on this iptables -L output:
Code:
Chain INPUT (policy DROP)
target port opt source destination
ACCEPT all anywhere anywhere
This is right? The default policy is DROP but there is a rule that allows anything from anywhere? This make any sense ? And finally, what is ufw and why it is disabled in all runlevels? Is ufw a replacement for iptables, or firestarter or it is a completely new animal? Should I use ufw instead firestarter? I am impressed about how different is Ubuntu/debian from other RH based distros. I just realize how much I have to learn about this new stuff.
I have freshly installed an Ubuntu 10.04.1 by internet.
All is running well, but my nice values are all set to 0. Is there a script that handles these at boot time? How can I reset them to "appropriate" or "normal" levels (e.g. not all at 0)? I know in other installs, my nice levels vary depending on the process and the user.
Attached is a screen shot of my gnome-system-monitor, and aside from init, which I had set to -15, all others are at 0.

I noticed that thare are different default priviliges for the user depending if I boot in run level 3 or 5. Normally I use init 5 and login in graphical mode straight to Gnome desktop. Then all my USB devices (memory and external USB sound card) are accessible and work. If I log in throught termina (init 3) then USB has to be mounted and the sound card is not recognized.
Is there any general rule for such behaviour? If I plan to use level 3 shall reconfigure the system go get immidiate acces to usb sound card?
For some reason, it cannot change my zoom levels like before in numerical order with the zoomy extension.I have tried refreshing the page and restarting the computer, this is with Jaunty.

I also have another problem which is i can't change the permissions of /dev/usblp0 because i stupidly changed them in to read write execute to all using chmod 777 without thinking that the device file isn't executable. Why can't i change the permissions back as they were?
I was wondering if there is any kind of tool that i could use to check the ink levels in the printer. It is blinking that one of the carts is out but there is 4 in this printer. Its a pain in the **** having to hook it up and install it to a windows computer just so i can see what cart i need to replace. I went to System>Administration>Printing> Right clicked on the printer then went to Properties>Ink/toner levels> In the box it says "Marker levels are not reported for this printer" Hmm so basically i shouldn't use this printer?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using UNR 9.04 with Alsa 1.0.22.1 For some reason everytime I reboot my volume levels reset to headphone & speaker muted and headphone/speaker/PCM levels all set to 0%.
Does anyone know if there something I can that will allow my levels to be the same after I reboot? or if there is a script out there that will set my levels on startup?
If there isn't a script what would I do to create my own? also what would I do to have it auto run at startup?
I have a rather extensive mp3 collection.
The problem is some of the songs are louder than others, in other words set the volume and next thing a song comes along that scrambles your brains it's so loud, Or you get one you can't hardly hear.
I've used a couple of GUI's in the past, but all of them seem to do one song at a time. Not really an option with over 10,000 songs.
What would be nice is if I could pick one song as a base line and using terminal run a batch of say 500 songs through it.

Been using since Dapper Drake, I'm not afraid of the command line, but I am far from an expert user, in other words I know just enough to be a danger to myself and others
I've never written a script file to automate anything but this may well be a time to learn one.
I've been using Ubuntu 10.10 for almost a year now and I'm really happy with it. I completely uninstall windows from my computer I'm able to do everything a used to do on Windows now on Linux, and even more... except for one thing... I cannot see the ink levels of my printer. It's a multifunction Epson Stylus TX110. I installed escputil and used the command "sudo escputil -i -u -r /dev/usblp0", the printer then starts making noise and no matter how long I wait, it never presents any info or displays the message: "device is busy" with no info about the ink levels.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just recently installed ubuntu so I'm quite lost on some stuff. This little annoyance comes from the volume levels in Ubuntu 10.04. I have partitioned my computer to have dual boot into windows and ubuntu, so I know the problems are not related to the hardware itself as everything works just fine in windows. I am using a Dell Inspiron 9400, for reference.
The multimedia keys on the computer respond correctly but on the lower three volume settings sound completely drops out as if I had muted the computer. I went into the Alsa mixer to see if I could configure these sound levels and sure enough the master volume was down to zero, PCM and LFE are also low . I changed the settings of the lower levels but when I press on the volume up or down media keys to switch level the settings get reset. I tried just changing one level, exiting and saving through alsactl but it didn't stick. Even after reboot the settings are back to the zero volume on the first levels.
This little fragment does the opposite of what I want and I am trying to figure out how to reverse it. I want to strip off the directory and echo just the filenames. I cannot predict how many levels deep the directory tree is.
