BUMP Yeh, me, too. Anyone?
I have just installed 17.10 and am having the same problem. Cannot someone help us out here?
Well, I looked more closely and I am not at present using compat-wireless, and I do have the very latest kernel installed. I am reluctant to add compat-wireless in when, from its documentation, it...
Thank you. I'll give it a try soon now, and report results here.
I am very frustrated. Let me present the situation. Ubuntu 10.10, clean install (some while ago).
From this URL--

(bump again - not getting a lot of help here)
The source code for the cdtools app is here:
http://cdtool.sourcearchive.com/documentation/2.1.8-release-2/hardware_8c-source.html
Maybe it can...
First, check the obvious: is your internet connection still ok? (It looks like it, as you were able to post the message.) Have you tried again? Sometimes repositories can go down for a few...
(bump)
The curious thing is that for some while after use of the cdtools software, the drive continues to respond normally. Then, some hours later, it fails with the error message type as shown...
The title is not very descriptive, but I don't know how else to refer to it.
Ubuntu 10.10, fresh install. LG optical drive, scsi; lsscsi shows:

We have an extensive collection of classical-music audio CDs that I would like to catalogue with as little tedium as possible. The ideal would be to slap a CD into the drive and have an app that...
Re:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
Thank you.
That looks frighteningly simple (by which I mean that simple things often have frighteningly great power).
Now, if I do that, then--as I am...
The problem is not a lack of information, it is a waterfall of overlapping and often contradictory information.
Here is what I have and what I want to do:
I have a fresh Maverick install--and...
My thanks to stinkeye for the kind words.
Anyone else have a critique? Is anything less than clear? Are there things that should be added? Please let me know your thoughts.
OK, so I feel stupid. I was unaware of the extra plugins for gedit available at the gnome site's gedit plugins page.
A couple of the third-party plug-ins there have supplied a reasonably...
I do not see the gedit macros plugin mentioned. Is it a separate package requiring Synaptic installation?
Also, I forget another critical need: bookmarking. I really, really fell it needful to...
The default desktop Search is all you need for finding files--it uses the aforesaid search command as well as the find command, and allows many features.
What I would be interested in hearing...
(I'm not sure if this is the best place for this, but I hope so.)
With a deal of trepident diffidence, I have created and put online a "how-to" for folk wanting to do a fresh install of Ubuntu...
It is not the wrong tree. Well, strictly maybe: it is not gnome as such, but rather the window manager, metacity (or compiz or whatever).
The matter has languished, despite extensive, major,...
Fixed!
What a nightmare. But finally, pulling together bits and pieces of information from here and there, and doing a lot of looking up of things, it all comes down to issuing two simple...
Well, despite no replies, I went ahead and bought the board, and it all works just fine. The only cards I am using are an old PCI modem, for faxes, and an old, simple SCSI card for an outboard...
Sorry for the delay in responding.
The 8.04 may or may not be the problem. But we have, at least for now, abandoned the install attempt, as the intended use of the wireless connection--to pick up...

Surely after all the fuss over the years about this printer, someone must have some ideas . . . .
I have plodded through an estimated 6,641 of the estimated 478,594 threads on how to make this creature work in Ubuntu, and no two seem quite to agree.
Here is what I have and what I have done,...
I have the exact same problem on a fresh, clean Maverick install. Three weeks now--any help from anybody?
