Have you been able to get 2-sided scanning to work in Linux? I just got a Brother MFC-L2750DW. No problems with printing or single-sided scanning, but I can't get duplex scanning to work from Xsane...

I mentioned s-nail for completeness, since it requires virtually no configuration.

But actually I also gave you an alternative that doesn't use s-nail, using msmtp directly. Maybe you didn't read...

You should already have s-nail installed (and /usr/bin/mail linking to it).

Install (if you don't already have it) msmtp and set up a configuration file ~/.msmtprc to configure it to your smtp...

Ordinarily the live usb discards all changes when you shut it down, but you can create one with persistent storage. If 4gb of storage is enough the instructions here are pretty simple.

If you...

It sounds like you may have made a mistake in entering your username or your samba password. You can run

sudo pdbedit -Lthat will list the samba users so you can verify that your username is...

Solved, more or less ...

It turns out that deselecting "Show flat buttons" on the Panel Preferences Window Buttons dialog, in addition to changing the appearance of the buttons also prevents the...

Some details that I omitted last night: I'm referring to a situation where Thunderbird is running in a workspace that is NOT the currently-visible workspace, and my window button preference for "show...

In Xubuntu 14.04 LTS when Thunderbird received new mail its window button on the xfce4-panel began blinking. I upgraded to Xubuntu 16.04 LTS recently and since then the window button no longer...

Mystery solved.

After examining more files it turned out that every single regular file in my home directory tree had the same atime of Mar 5 20:52, except for a few files that I know I used more...

I ran sudo updatedb and then rechecked file access times and didn't find any that changed.

And while looking again at the directories that show access time of 07:39 this morning, I realized that...

I was looking at some of my home directory file properties entries in thunar and noticed that the Accessed time for some of them seemed odd, so I ran

ls -lt --time=atime

and I see a group of 18...

That adapter is certainly not WPA2-capable. According to the specs I found here you could use WEP -- not as good but better than nothing.

Oh, and regarding the output that chili555 requested,...

Have you installed atmel-firmware package?
e.g.:

sudo apt-get install atmel-firmware

I haven't had this problem, but a quick search shows that many people have had trouble with that Realtek RTL8821AE. If you want to experiment you can try building and installing the rtlwifi_new...

Try /usr/share/X11/

(NOT in xorg.confd)

That's it! As I said I just recently upgraded so I've been tweaking things. Must have inadvertently unchecked that when I set it to save session on logout.

Many thanks.

Adding to the mystery, I tried logging in as another user and for that user the logout buttons on the Whisker Menu (left corner of the top panel) and on the Application Menu (right-click on desktop)...

@Keith: Thanks, I added an action button to the panel and that works, but ...



that's what I was talking about. Sorry I didn't explain myself clearly. Three days ago I was investigating a...

I just upgraded this laptop to xubuntu 16.04 a couple of days ago. Yesterday there was a Log Out button on the main menu offering choices of Log Out, Restart, Shut Down. Suddenly it seems I have...

Why risk resizing the partition at all? The real problem here is just the accumulation of old superseded kernel images and there's no reason to keep them. When have you ever had to revert back...

Nothing to be suspicious about -- the running instance of firefox places the lock file there to prevent the possibility of a second firefox process trying to make modifications to the same firefox...

After doing a system upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 (and switching from Kubuntu to Xubuntu) my laptop was taking a long time to shut down or reboot. I assume that there are various possible causes for...

Apparently there is no separate "load" button - just selecting [open] in the "choose target file" dialog loads it.

It seems the debug plugin ver. 1.23 in the Ubuntu repository is broken. I...

Is the geany debugger (gdb) plugin broken, or am I? I'm running Xubuntu 14.04 LTS, everything is up to date, geany 1.23.1+dfsg-1 and geany-plugin-debugger 1.23+dfsg-3, gdb 7.7.1-0ubuntu5-14.0, gcc...

Thanks for that link. It's a good overview of what those programs are supposed to do. Some of the feedback discussions are pretty entertaining as well.
