Using openSUSE 11.2 & 11.3, where should I look for the default printer settings?
I have a Brother HL-1440 laser which for some reason prints right down to the bottom of the page cutting off the top part of the last line on that page. The default settings for the top and bottom margins are 0.50 inches. During installation using Yast2, the test page printed with correct borders.
When I change the bottom margin in options (from Ctrl-P), the page prints with the bottom margin set to 0.50 inch. The problem is I have to reset that margin every time I print a new document.
Where can I change that default setting? I've searched in /etc, /var, and /home but can't find it.
if you try to browse the web from the machine, or log in through a nomachine (nxclient/nxserver) session, it claims there is no internet conenction. You have to run System|Administration|Network and select the stored "Location" for our wired connection. There does not seem to be an option to make this (one and only) "Location" the default. If the machine is up and incoming connections are possible (samba & apache), surely outgoing connections should be working without extra fiddling?
The issue with nxserver (nomachine) becoming unavailable on a re-booted unattended machine (unless someone logs in AT THE MACHINE and runs System|Administration|Network) is causing problems for remote access.
how can I make KDE applications to use duplex printing as default? In CUPS, I changed the default settings to "long edge binding". It works in non-KDE Applications like Openoffice, but in e.g. Okular I always have to set it every time I print. I'm using Suse 11.3 with KDE4.
I'm trying to figure out how to change the default settings for my printer under Firefox. I'm mainly interested in changing the default print resolution and the pages-per-side layout setting I can change the settings for all KDE applications through [URL], but I can't seem to be able to find the respective dialog for Firefox / GTK applications.
Firefox itself doesn't seem to have a dialog for the printer default settings; I've looked into about:config but all the value names are rather confusing.

My system now is a dual boot computer with Ubuntu and Winxp each on there own HD. The system has 4gb memory with a 512mb Nvidia video card.
1. If I understand it correctly, VBOX installs it's own copy of Windows to a directory. I can't piont it to the Winxp that I already have installed on the other HD?
2. VBOX has a two sliders for Memory, one for System and the other for Video. Do any of you have a system such as mine and would you have any suggestions for the two sliders settings?
I run ubuntu karmic 64 bit and have 2 displays (Working just about perfectly ). One problem i do have is by default all desktop icons appear on my secondary display. Is there any way to change it so they appear on my primary display?
I have got a question, my fileserver is up and running and is working great but if i want to download something by HTTP using the command wget [url] it does not show up in my server...
I think this is because my server location is : /Home/samba/
How do i change my default download location to /Home/Samba/ so i can see this in my network?

I am moving to Banshee on all of my 10.04 systems (anticipating the future of Ubu). Banshee has been doing something I don't understand and which seems very wrong (and which is actually causing some problems, if minor). First let me explain the arrangement. I have a server with a music share we'll call server:/tunes. On all of the machines and for all the users there is a mount (/media/tunes/) for said share.
Additionally so that all users have the same transparent experience, each user has a shortcut at ~/Music/tunes (which points to /media/tunes/). Through this I don't need to alter the default library location and all of the music on the server is automatically part of every library (and all library content and playlists have the same paths). However, Banshee has decided for some files to do one of three things:
1. It points (correctly) to only ~/Music/tunes/path/to/song.flac 2. It points (wrongly) to only /media/tunes/path/to/song/flac 3. It points to both and there is a duplicate entry I have not knowingly given Banshee the path /media/tunes/anything.
I wish to change the default location of IPtables file from /etc/sysconfig to somewhere else. But i am confisued about it. please help me to solve this problem.
Just trying to figure out how to change the virtual HD location. I want to use a large storage drive to host the HD and snapshots on. I was able to fumble my way through the snapshot part. How can i tell Virtualbox to use my storage drive rather than my local boot drive to store / run guest from? also, I can migrate the guest HD AFTER install cant I?
I installed fedora 12 very recently after which I installed a few files. I don't know where these files get installed. Is there a default location for newly installed files? If there is one, is it possible to change the location?

I avoid capslock like the plague and use "ctrl:nocaps" when in X, and would like to have the same behaviour in the console. Back when I was using Debian I got it set up the way I want, but now I can't seem to locate the default keymap. I tried editing
I've read "Can't choose my 2nd HDD to install Ubuntu" and "How to move GRUB?".but my problem seems not exactly the same as them. I have three drives:
1) SATA drive on first port with Windows on it 2) IDE drive with Ubuntu9.10 on it 3) new SATA drive for Ubuntu10.04 I want to remove the IDE drive and put it in a safe place as a backup.
I installed 9.10 on the new SATA, intending to see if I could get Upgrade Mangager to offer me Lucid Lynx. I should have unplugged the IDE drive but I didn't. Anyway, the Ubuntu9.10 CD installer did find the new SATA disk which I had partitioned using my original 9.10 setup on the IDE. It did put Ubuntu onto the first partition of the new SATA where I wanted it. However, if I disable the IDE in BIOS I get just a blinking underscore at the top left conrer of the screen on reboot. Why would the installer do this to me? Nevermind, perhaps a better question is this: How do I check where GRUB2 has been installed and if, as I suspect, it's put GRUB2 on the IDE, what's the simplest and safest way to get GRUB2 put on the boot sector of the new SATA disk?
Since school ended, I decided to finally wipe and due a clean upgrade to Slackware 13.0. Everything is great except one thing. When I want to save something in firefox, the "save as" window that popups up, that allows you to browse to right directory, popups too low. In my window manager(wmii), the bottom is cutoff. I want to have the window popup higher. Is this possible? In my previous install, I think the window would usually remember where it last was, but now it seems to always popup in the same location. I'm not sure if this is slackware, firefox or wmii issue. Also I tried another wm, Awesomewm, and it showed up in the same spot.
The notification area in the panel comes up each time I boot with Irl as the geographical location. If I click this it changes to GBr (which is correct). Is there any way of stopping the Irl display, or at least make GBr the default at boot time?
Currently my partner is printing on my Epson Stylus Photo R265 from her XP system. I am attempting to convert her over to Lucid but every attempt so far to replicate the printer settings fails miserably.I had a look at Picasa which on first view appeared to give me exactly what I wanted being an A4 print without any border. However when I attempted to produce the final result it failed miserably, quality was wishy washy and displayed print lines across the paper.I raised the matter on the Picasa forum only to be informed that the method used by them is to forward the print to the printer. The responder assumed that it was via Cups and suggested that I look to the print settings in Ubuntu.
When I access the printer via the System settings all it gives me is connectivity details. Where should I be looking to access the settings where I can set the printing details. I am aiming to have the best photo quality on premium glossy paper and printing without borders.Is this possible to achieve ?? I have been round the houses with F-Spot, Photoprint, Shotwell etc etc. Please dont mention Gimp as it is well over my head. Surely there must be some way of setting print quality within Ubuntu. I feel that I am so near to my aim and would like to achieve it as even she who must be obeyed is getting cheesed off with windows.
I am using a Canon MP560 and every time I try to print something I have to go back into the printer settings and change the settings from "From Driver" to grayscale and it is really annoying. How to I set it so it stays like that?
what I need to do to the firewall in order to make a shared printer available to other machines on my network?
I have the printer set up and have tested it with the firewall switched off, but as soon as I restart the firewall, the printer is inaccessible.
I thought that all traffic on the internal network was allowed, but it seems that I need to create an explicit rule in order to get the shared printer working. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out how to do that yet.
When I try to change some settings of my printer using HPLIP it tells me to add myself to the lp an sys group. Is that safe ? What are those groups used for ?
