Ubuntu :: Installing Lexmark S305 Multipurpose Machine In 10.4?
Dec 23, 2010
I am a total noob, don't know anything about installing tar based software into my Ubuntu 10.4 set up (a Dell desktop previously running XP). I want to install a driver for my Lexmark Impact s305 multipurpose machine, using the driver the Lexmark site recommended, but have been completely unsuccessful.
Here's the software by name. lexmark-inkjet-legacy-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.tar.gz. I extracted after right clicking on the icon, and that produced this file: lexmark-inkjet-legacy-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh. I launched that, got past the license agreement, and came up to a screen that said I needed root privileges and asked for an "administrative password."
I only have one password and entered that. It always works installing software via Synaptic or the Ubuntu Software Center, and everywhere else. Nevertheless, in trying to install this driver, I got this error message: "incorrect password." I have been unable to get around this despite repeated efforts. The installer software simply won't accept my password and so it won't install the driver.
In researching the issue, I have seen other people complain of the same problem. Given that I am a noob at this, have I missed something critical to the install? Does the software just not work (I have heard Lexmark is not too keen on Linux)?
I have a dell e5500 laptop, 2GHz ram 80gig hard drive dual boot linux and win xp pro. a new lexmark s305 printer can not get driver to work from lexmark web site. printer works fine with xp.pro, don't do anything with ubuntu 10.x
I installed lexmark S305 following the guide from dave66, posted here [URL].. but the printer doesn't work. Every time a new job is in the queue, it fails to print. Basically the error reported is E [13/Mar/2010:20:33:20 +0100] [Job 2] Job stopped due to filter errors; please consult the error_log file for details. Here I uploaded my error_log from cups: [URL].. I have Debian unstable, kernel 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 and cups 1.4.2-9.1.

After I solved the issue about printer, now I'm struggling to make the integrated scanner of lexmark S305 work with debian.The device is connected to the network through integrated wifi connection (it is NOT connected with usb to a host, which act as a server), but I don't know how xsane can recognize it.I have just added the ip address in /etc/sane.d/net.conf, but it doesn't work at all. I read some tutorials on how to configure a network scanner, but they are all related to a scanner connected to a computer through usb, and then shared on the network by this computer.The second issue (probably more important) is that xsane probably doesn't recognize even with usb connection the scanner. The latter is not listed in the supported scanner list. Indeed connecting by usb to my laptop, it doesn't work. I haven't found any driver for it, but probably it could work with driver of other scanners.
I am new to Linux having just recently installed Fedora 10 on my Dell Inspiron 1720. I bought a Lexmark x4975 wireless printer which comes with an installation disk for windows and Mac only. Any ideas how I can install the printer on my linux setup?
I have several (say, 50) machines running ubuntu.I want them to be centrally controlled.That is, each machine should get permit from central machine before installing any software etc.I googled quite a lot but could not find the solution...
I have an Acer laptop, on which a I have Ubuntu installed with no disk partitioning. I may need to install Windows 7 on this machine but have no desire to stop using Ubuntu for normal use. Is it possible to create a partition to install Windows on, without changing my Ubuntu set up? Also, whilst I'm at it, I'd like to create a third partition for general data storage.
Is it sensible to install a netbook edition on an ordinary machine? Like if i want to quickly browse the web and answer emails with fast boot time and without having a full-blown desktop?
I had a good copy of ubuntu on a disk but i lost it in the move, lately i decided that i wanted 2 OS's on 1 machine windows vista/Ubuntu x32. I've already got VMware workstation 7, now the great feat i'm trying to accomplish is getting this .iso of Ubuntu into my VM machine, I've got Daemon tools lite and magic-iso and magic disk. But i'm not too sure which 1 to use.
my lappy is 64bit...But I dont remember, So far I am using 32bit ubuntu. So How can I know if my computer is 64bit machine? if it is, Installing ubuntu 9.10 64bit will give any performance fetch??I guess 64bit ubuntu and 32bit are same interms of functionality and look Right? may be performance difference? give me some info...
I want to install Windows 7 on a separate drive on my PC that already has Ubuntu. I was wondering if anybody had any tips on how best to go about this? I was going to install a new empty drive, removing the current one, then put the current drive back once Windows had been installed. However, I'm not entirely sure if this will work, since Linux currently runs from the first drive: Will it be confused by making its drive the second drive (these will both be SATA drives, BTW), and how would I get Linux to run? Could I change which drive to boot from in the BIOS, or would replacing the MBR to provide a boot loader menu be easier?
I've assembled a new computer to replace a dead Xp/Debian dual boot machine. I have been persuaded to go for Ubuntu as a Linux-only box, running Win7 as a virtual machine. I had some help setting it up with two discs in a Raid1 array, and it works pretty well. One of those discs is, I notice, set up as bootable.
But.... it is causing a major headache in respect of USB when emulating windows. I cannot use devices such as my USB printer at present, and I have an urgent task which requires printing capability and Windows. I have spent time trying to sort the USB problem without success and have decided to take an alternative route for the present.
I have purchased two extra discs which are not included in the Raid array, with the intention of using one of them for a Win7 installation, making the machine dual-boot for now. Eventually the intention is to revert to Linux only with a 4-disc Raid.
And don't know how to proceed. I formatted one of the new discs to NTFS using Ubuntu's Disc Utility, and tried to install Win7 on that disc. I get a warning that Windows cannot find a suitable disc on which to install. I've tried with XP as well, and this copies all its files before proudly announcing that there is no suitable disc space on this machine. Two new 1Tb discs and no space!
i currently am running windos 7 (64 bit) and would also like to install ubuntu on a second hard drive. i understand a dual boot is easy enough to do, but i'd like to install ubuntu so that it and windows are completely isolated. rather than be prompted with a boot screen to choose os, i would do so by changing hd boot priority in bios. i'd like the end result to be 2 separte computers in one box. can it be set up this way, and if so, how?
I'm trying to install on a machine that has a CD drive but no DVD (and is currently running 10.3). Following the procedure here I created a filesystem on the server and copied the DVD ISO to that. I boot with the network install CD and in the boot options I put in install=hd:/dev/sda7/openSUSE-11.2-i586.iso But then I get a red error diag saying Could not find the openSUSE respository Activating manual setup program
I go into the manual setup program, select hard disk, sda7, the iso file appears in the "Enter the source directory." dialog so I click OK. It does the "Loading the installation system" (or something, it's quick) and then errors with "No repository found". I have also tried sharing the iso file from a windows server and using network SMB but that didn't work. Tried mounting the install DVD (that I have used successfully before) on the windows machine, sharing it, and point the manual SMB install at that. Everything gives me "No repository found." I could use the Network CD to do an Internet install, but that seems unnecessarily slow and wasteful of bandwidth when I've already downloaded the DVD iso.
Can I do a fresh install of CentOS Linux on a remote machine? I have a machine with Windows NT in a remote location. Now I want to use that system as my deployment machine. To proceed with my plan I need to install a Linux OS (have chosen CentOS). The guy there with the machine is not very knowledgeable of the installation process of any OS. So I thought I could install CentOS remotely.how I can achieve this?
I am facing the below problem while installing ClearCase 7.1 in a redhat 5.4 machine.Error during "post-install configure" phase:
Error executing "/opt/IBM/RationalSDLC/clearcase/etc/clearcase" operation (status=50). See agent output log for more information: /var/ibm/InstallationManager/logs/native/20110519_0846.log Install:

Having trouble getting a certain piece of software to run under wine 1.2.2 and under Crossover, so thought I'd try wine 1.3.2. Wasn't sure if I could install it without messing with my 1.2.2 install. Would it work? using slackware64 13.37 multilib
I'm trying to install pdksh-5.2.14 in my Slackware-13.0-64 machine. Does this mean the software is not for 64bit machine? How can I fix this? The info file doesn't show me the location of the 64bit version, therefore I assume this one worked on such machine.
I have an offline computer with centos5.5 running on it. I want to do some tests on mediawiki or any other opensource tools. However, I can't access localhost from the browser because I don't have a webserver. How do I install apache or LAMP in general without the "yum" command? Where can I find all the dependencies needed?
I wanted to install Ubunutu on my laptop and it currently has windows vista installed on it and installed using latest Wubi. I selected Ubuntu from dropdown menu after the system restarted. But when the sytem shows the username page to login the KEYBOARD and MOUSE are not responding.
I am using Lenovo Y series laptop and using the inbuilt keyboard/touchpad.
I have a duo core HP machine with two (2) physical hard drives.Drive C has the win Vista Media center version installed.The second drive has 2 partitions of 500gb each.One has all my windows data files on it and the second partition I have reserverd for the installation of Linux.How to install Linux on the second partition (SDB1) without loosing the ability to use windows when i need.In other words i want to establish a dual boot system and not disturb the existing windows installation by installing Linux and then be able to boot into a dual boot system that will let me select which OS to boot to.
I am trying to install wireless WiFi USB adapter LM-001 on to my machine. I downloaded the driver ZD1211LnxDrv_2_16_0_0 and followed the instruction rigorously. However, upon issuing the 'make' command, it stalled saying that that it cannot detect the /lib/modules/2.6.9-89.0.19.ELsmp/build directory. Here is the output:

So I tried installing fedora 13 on old pc (5+ years), the live cd boots ok. but when I click install to disk, the "starting Install to disc" tab comes up and then goes away, then nothing.This comp definitely has a large enough hard drive. (are there ram requirements that could cause such a thing?). It currently has windows xp (and probably loads of viruses).
I have downloaded an rpm for libstdc++, libstdc++-3.4.6-11.i386.rpm, from centOS, http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/. On trying to install it, it says unlocatable package libstdc++, required by libstdc++-devel.
How is it that the very package i'm trying to install is dependent on itself. On trying to locate the package the result is as below.
