CPU Frequency Scale

Arch linux, lxdm/lxde, recent installation, feeling I must be doing something stupid, would be glad to be guided!

I have a Brother HL-2030 printer connected to a Raspberry Pi as a print server, CUPS setup, with sharing turned on. Other machines in the household, and indeed other OS's on the machine I'm writing on, print trouble-free to this printer.

On *this* desktop machine, (with libcups installed,) other programs print trouble-free. Firefox, Thunderbird, geany and evince all detect the presence of the network printer, and work as expected.

It's just Libreoffice that does not. This is true both of libreoffice-fresh and libreoffice-still, and it is true for all the components (write, draw, calc etc).

Libreoffice *does* find the network printer from other OS's that I play with; I have Puppy and Mint on the same machine, but those installs of Libreoffice are obviously different/earlier versions (nor do I feel like upgrading them in the circumstances!)

In this context, though, the Libreoffice "File>Printer settings..." menu offers me only a "Generic Printer" (whose properties and options I can edit). If I ask Libreoffice to print to this generic printer, it reports no failure, but that task just seems to disappear into thin air.

On the Pi server, /var/log/cups/ offers

I really think I must be doing something very stupid and newbie-ish!

Hello everyone.
I have just installed debian stable non-free onto my hard drive but the sound isn't working.

I've been to the debian site https://wiki.debian.org/SoundConfiguration and found that 'users' don't automatically have access to audio (for security reasons).
So I did the following command as root (sudo):
Code:

adduser USER_NAME audio

Now when I am 'user', I can get sound.

I also did:
Code:

chgrp cdrom /dev/sr0
adduser USER_ID cdrom

This allows 'user' to get sound from the cdrom.

I then went onto the debian soundfaq https://wiki.debian.org/SoundFAQ

From the 'lspci -v' command, I get these 2 outputs which have the word 'audio' in it:
Code:

01:05.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 4200 Series]
	Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device 960f
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 19
	Memory at fdefc000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
	Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3
	Capabilities: [a0] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
	Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel

00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)
	Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device a102
	Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16
	Memory at fe024000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
	Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
	Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel

So I have 2 sound cards.

The debian website says: 'If sound does not work for root account as well, then that means that either your sound card is not supported by Debian or it was not configured properly'.

Ok, so the first part of the statement is worrying.
So I went to the debian device driver check page http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ and did 'lspci -n'.
The output can be pasted onto their web page and debian will say if the sound cards are supported.
The web page shows that the sound cards are supported:

Quote:
10024383 Yes Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) snd-hda-intel v2.6.25
10029715 Yes Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880 [Radeon HD 4250] radeon v2.6.35-
1002970f Yes Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 4200 Series] snd-hda-intel v2.6.27-
So now I'm guessing that my sound cards are 'not configured properly'. But I've run a Youtube video and then changed the sound cards under alsamixer and I still don't get sound.
Is there is a simple solution to this please? Thank you in advance.

i just installed windows 7 64 bit on a dell latitude d-630 and sometimes it boots windows correctly other times it comes up minimal BASDH like line editing is supported for the first word TAB lists possible command completions..is there any way to get rid of it?

I am unable to create wireless access point on my Ubuntu 14.04. I have BCM4352 wireless card.

on running command iw list , I find that AP is not listed on supported interface modes.

How can I get supported drivers to make AP? What should I do?

Hi

I've build my desktop from scratch a long time ago and it's using the standard BIOS.

I am planning to get a laptop at some time and it has windows 8.1 with UEFI. My plan to to wipe windows off the thing and install linux.

I will be dealing with UEFI for the first time, so my question is, do I need to get an UEFI supported distro or will any linux distro detect the UEFI and install accordingly?

Thanks

Hi,
These NVIDIA products are real nightmares. I recently downloaded a copy a sabayon linux for my desktop.
The live dvd booted with the following error message throughout the screen

However after a long time it started up properly. After installing the os I found that the problem still persists. Firtsly it took about 10 mins or so to boot. And then apart from terminal 7 (which is the graphical terminal) all other terminals shows the above output. It seems like it has fallen through an infinite loop. I tried downloading some drivers from the nvidia site but simply could not install them because it mandates the X to stop working. If I do so I won't be able to install it from other terminals.

I have attached the output of "dmesg".
Any help is appreciated.

Hello, I was trying to understand what frambuffer is. I'll list a couple of questions I have right off the bat. I'm sure more will generate after reading some responses.

Is this something that I should use?(i'd like to learn about it so this is most likely a yes...)

Will this only work on kernels 2.0.x or below?

Is this essentially a light weight graphics driver that should only be used if your video card doesn't have a supported graphics driver?

Hi, I am trying to install a smartcard reader driver onto my ubuntu machine. I am not able run the make file.

The output of makefile is as follows:

Hello, I want to deploy some AD-like login and user management. All devices in network use Linux (Debian, 5-10 workstations).
The first idea is to use Samba4 because everyone is talking about how it is AD-compliant, but I think it's not needed, because there's no windows workstations, and it gives additional windows-specific tools and protocols like netbios, etc.

Next thought is, that FreeIPA is good idea, but I don't see it in Debian's repos (only sid).
I could try to install it from sid, but I'm afraid it's not stable and production ready. I see it stable only in RedHat family (centos/fedora).
What is more, freeipa-client is not even in jessie's repo. I heard about sssd as a client in Debian for FreeIPA.

The last idea is to use OpenLDAP. I'm sure it's supported by Debian very well, but I'm afraid of lack of integration with other tools like kerberos, etc. I've got ntp, dns, dhcp, some file sharing, etc. done right now without ldap, so I don't really need all that additional stuff.

Is using Centos/Fedora is only way to have FreeIPA?
Is it possible and supported to use Debian as client of FreeIPA?

Do you have any advice on the best way to do this?

I have a new PC and it's my first with a UEFI motherboard. I've been using Manjaro on it for a few weeks but now I want to switch distros. Before UEFI it was easy; I'd just tell the new distro's installer to overwrite / and use the existing /home as /home. But now I have these extra partitions that Manjaro created regarding UEFI and I'm not sure how to go about it.

I just used the Linux Mint USB live disc and launched the installer. The partitioning tool showed me /bios and /EFI in addition to the other partitions that are more familiar to me, like /boot, /, /home and /swap. It would not let me alter the /bios and /EFI partitions.

In order to preserve /home. what should I tell the Mint installer to do? Should I just overwrite /boot and / as I've always done? Will it work like that on a UEFI system? Many thanks in advance for all advice.
