Thanks Bucky Ball;

I have been looking online for solutions. Many of the posts are for Linux guests on other host platforms which aren't particularly helpful other than to convince me that it is...

Bucky Ball;

I do intend to upgrade. In fact I intent to purchase a new desk top and install the current LTS version of Ubuntu with the current version of that other program running in a virtual...

The Issue:

I am running a Windows XP Pro SP3 Ver 2002 guest on Ubuntu 12.04 (32 bit) host using VMware Player 6.0.6 build 2700073, Workstation 9.0.

I have a bad vmdx and although the guest OS...

[SOLVED] There is hope for all. It took me some time but I found a solution. I've taken the time to set out what worked for me so that others who may have a similar problem can get some ideas about...

There is a solution. I think!

Using hp-setup or the GUI version when you select "add printer" the is the option to "Enter URI" and on the right hand side of the dialogue box is "Enter device URI"...

PDC:

I opened the page you referred to above and executed the commands here are the results:


~$ lsmod | grep lp
lp 17455 0
parport 40930 3...

Thanks to PDC for the message.

The "sudo hp-setup" opens a GUI to detect a usb or network printer etc.

The "sudo hp-check -r" command produced some interesting results which I've posted below....

Well interestingly enough this printer "HP 6P LaserJet" did work on my system this morning. I've printed a test page from the printer itself so I know the printer is working.

Somehow, I've changed...

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes the printer is turned on. It could happen but not this time.

The Problem:

I'm trying to run RA3 retail in WINE 1.4 without success. WINE HQ does not have a coherent "How to" describing how to install and configure RA3 in WINE to get it to run. I've managed...

Kudos to Verunendra;

I just stumbled across this thread and read Verunendra's posting above. Thank you for a your thoughtful response. It should remind us all why the Linux experiment is so...

Frank1e is right. I think 10.04 wasn't really ready for release. It's much to buggy. When you have an update that doesn't update and causes your GRUB to be unable to mount the partition that has your...

I've come across a number of discussions about the differences in how 9.10 and 10.04 treat existing partitions. If the Grub is pointing to the partition that has an older Kernel and not the new one...

It works on my office machine that is currently running 9.10. I'm embarrassed to say that I don't recall specifically if I recently used Ctrl + Alt + Fn on the other machine I was referring to in the...

It turns out that I had logged onto my X session in failsafe gnome so the System> Administration> Hardware Driver, functionality was disabled. I logged back on in a full gnome session and I was able...

The Problem: I just upgraded to 10.04 from 9.10. I want to use the latest nVida driver for my card. Using System> Administration> Hardwar Drivers won't let me activate proprietary drivers. It tells...

I had the same problem on two different machines. I already had Ubuntu 9.10 installed and tried to upgrade to the newest version 10.04. When the operating system tried to reboot, error messages came...

The Problem: When using a browser, either Firefox (ver. 3.5.9) or Google Chrome (ver. 5.0.375.55), my keyboard and mouse freeze, the lights on the keyboard by the F keys begin to flash and then the...

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for but if you go to Applications>Ubuntu Software Center>type wireless in the search box a number of programs are listed that might help you.

I just installed Wine 1.1.44 and the disappearing mouse cursor problem is gone. At least for Red Alert 2 Yuri's revenge.

Others who reported similar issues with Chessmaster 10 and FM2008 should...

Wine 1.1.43 is now out in binary. I had complied it from source before the binary version was released but it only made things worse. The problem was likely the way I complied the program and not the...

Thanks for the clue. I've been investigating further. It seems that some changes as to how the cursor is handled were made in WINE 1.1.42.

I checked the WineHQ site and found this link to a...
