Desktop Hardware Compatibility List.

Ubuntu 10.04
USB external hard drive
Freecom
Mobile drive Classic II

This is a 250 GB external hard drive and works fine for me.

Out of the box, it has a single (primary) partition, formatted as FAT32. I used Gparted Live (version 0.6.2-2) to:

1) Shrink this original partition to 35 GB.

2) From the free space released, create an extended partition containing 4 (logical) partitions.

3) In each of these new partitions, created an ext4 file system.

4) Add a meaningful label for each partition, since Ubuntu will then use these labels for mount points when I plug in the external USB drive. For example, a new partition labelled "drama(mp3)" will be mounted at /media/drama(mp3). Otherwise, the partitions will have mount points using UUIDs.

I have been using a Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2000 for the past 3 weeks without any problems

• My PC is running Ubuntu 10.04, and the mouse is reported by the Kernel as being "version 1.0".
• The mouse's transmitter connects to a USB port.
• Pointer sensitivity and acceleration adjust properly using the usual tool at System>Preferences>Mouse on the Gnome desktop.

Compaq Presario C500 and a clean install of Ubuntu 10.10

Still fighting to understand how it all works but willing to learn.

Lexmark Z32 printer via USB prints SOME lines garbled from Open Office but there seem to be so many different ways to print and I just cannot get a clear overview of them all (CUPS, lp, lpr, lprm, lpq, Red Hat, Ghostscript etc.) I tried the suggestion at http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials...nting-in-linux where it says to start cups type the following:
/etc/init.d/cups start

Response:-

deltaman@plimsoll:~$ /etc/init.d/cups start
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service cups start

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start cups
deltaman@plimsoll:~$ service cups start
start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.55" (uid=1000 pid=2506 comm="start) interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init"))
deltaman@plimsoll:~$

So what did I do wrong....puzzled of Tonbridge.....

Lexmark have no linux drivers despite other Linux forums pointing to some for the Z600 which might be the one I want but they are seemingly not available when I have looked

The two lights on the printer flash after each print and then I have to hard boot the printer to do anything else with it. This does not happen on a windows machine with the same cable/printer.

Canon lide25 scanner will do a rudimentary scan but cannot be associated with a GUI seemingly.
Canon told me to go away, so I WILL go away to HP who have scanner support for Linux.

Getting my Vodafone mobile connect dongle has taken some time to make work, and all is now ok apart from being unable to see how much of my 5GB limit I have used without calling and asking Vodfone!!!

WHilst highly delighted with Ubuntu for speed in general and many features too numerous to mention, I seem to be caught in an upgrade loop similar to that experienced when moving from ******* XP to Vista where I had to buy a scanner which would fit in with the OS rather than the other way around....

Fuji camera FJ-100 was recognised and catered for with no problems.

TP-LINK wireless modem router for ADSL TD-W8950ND.
By far the easiest router to install once isp user name entered it largely set itself up. The setup software is impressive.
And since it is one of the cheapest I have been delighted.
