  1. Problem printing wirelessly on a new Brother printer MFC-J1010DW

    I'm having difficulty printing wirelessly on an all-in-one Brother MFC-J1010DW printer. Before downloading any drivers, I created a static IP address in my router's administrative console, just for...
  2. Re: Does the Dell N7110 meet the minimum system requirements for Ubuntu 18.04?

    No need to apologize. At least I now know that, sometimes, when a bootable USB flash drive fails to boot, it can be because of the particular BIOS/UEFI firmware on the box, assuming the ISO was...
  3. Re: Does the Dell N7110 meet the minimum system requirements for Ubuntu 18.04?

    Sorry for the late reply, this is still an active thread. Like you, I'm trying to juggle the daily requirements of life with other things.



    Now that I think of it, I do remember trying to...
  4. Re: Does the Dell N7110 meet the minimum system requirements for Ubuntu 18.04?

    What qualifies as a "like box" when testing an unbootable USB flash drive when doing QA? Do you use a machine with the same OS version? Or do you use a machine with the same chipset/motherboard?...
  5. Re: Does the Dell N7110 meet the minimum system requirements for Ubuntu 18.04?

    Now this is interesting. I've had trouble in the past with unbootable USB flash drives, which led me to throw my hands in the air and give up. The first time was when I wanted to try a...
  6. Re: Does the Dell N7110 meet the minimum system requirements for Ubuntu 18.04?

    Sorry for reposting on an old thread, I just wanted to keep the thread open in case I encountered any issues after upgrading to a new OS version. I ended up installing Ubuntu 18.04 LTS after...
  7. [SOLVED] Re: Installing GIMP using Flatpak on Ubuntu 18.04 failed

    That's okay. I really appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to answer some of my questions.
  8. [SOLVED] Re: Installing GIMP using Flatpak on Ubuntu 18.04 failed

    I see. I'm just more used to .deb packages, where you can use the application immediately without having to restart.

    I just did a:


    printenv

    to see what the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable is set...
  9. [SOLVED] Re: Installing GIMP using Flatpak on Ubuntu 18.04 failed

    Oh, it works. I just couldn't find GIMP when I would search for "GIMP" in the Overview Screen search until after I ran the following command:


    flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP

    I just wasn't sure...
  10. [SOLVED] Re: Installing GIMP using Flatpak on Ubuntu 18.04 failed

    Thanks. I think I'll just do an:


    alias gimp='flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP > /dev/null 2>&1 &'

    to allow me to access GIMP from the command line from now on. Since I'm more familiar with .deb...
  11. [SOLVED] Re: Installing GIMP using Flatpak on Ubuntu 18.04 failed

    Thanks. That worked. Am I going to have to run the same command every time I need to access GIMP or is this a permanent solution? Sorry, but I'm more used to dealing with simple .deb packages.
  12. [SOLVED] Installing GIMP using Flatpak on Ubuntu 18.04 failed

    According to this guide, although I was initially hesitant installing GIMP using Flatpak, the guide states that installing GIMP using Flatpak is the official way of installing GIMP on Ubuntu 18.04,...

  15. Re: Can't Create Bootable DVD Of Ubuntu 18.04

    You're right. I just tested the bootable DVD that I successfully created. The "check CD for defects" option is hidden by default, unless you press a key -- I think, any key will do -- soon after the...

    It's been awhile since I've installed from a live DVD -- I'm still on Ubuntu 16.04 -- but I vaguely remember seeing that option somewhere in the past, but I couldn't...
  17. Re: Can't Create Bootable DVD Of Ubuntu 18.04

    @CatKiller
    That makes much more sense.

    I think I will do this from now on, instead of using K3b to verify the disc for me. Is md5sum capable of highlighting files whose md5sums don't match, or do...
  18. Re: Can't Create Bootable DVD Of Ubuntu 18.04

    I used K3b to burn and verify the disc, and was able to successfully boot from the resulting burned DVD. So, what do you think the problem was, a malfunctioning CD/DVD drive?

    Also, when you...
  19. Re: Can't Create Bootable DVD Of Ubuntu 18.04

    Just received the DVD burner, but I'm a bit nervous; when I opened the box from Amazon, and looked at the back of the box from the manufacturer (inside the Amazon box), it only said DVD-RW. That's...
  20. Re: Can't Create Bootable DVD Of Ubuntu 18.04

    I'm not sure if I understand this part. The computer I'm on uses BIOS as its firmware, but uses GRUB as its bootloader. At least, I think it uses GRUB as its bootloader. Here's what my bootloader...
  21. Re: Can't Create Bootable DVD Of Ubuntu 18.04

    Nope. I used Startup Disk Creator, through the GUI, to create the bootable USB stick, since I'm more used to creating live DVDs, at least, that's what I've done in the past.



    Huh, I didn't even...
  22. Re: Can't Create Bootable DVD Of Ubuntu 18.04

    It sucks because I'm doing this for a friend; he uses a desktop with Windows 7 that's going to reach EOL on January 14, 2020. Being less-than-tech-literate, I gave him three options: either upgrade...
  23. Re: Can't Create Bootable DVD Of Ubuntu 18.04

    When I insert the burned DVD and run the above command I get:

  24. Re: Can't Create Bootable DVD Of Ubuntu 18.04

    I'd like to do that, but for some reason, I can't seem to be able to find the mount point of the CD/DVD drive. It's been awhile since I've created a live DVD, but, in the past, I've used the mount...
  25. Re: Can't Create Bootable DVD Of Ubuntu 18.04

    It's not a USB CD/DVD drive. It's a laptop with an embedded CD/DVD drive. The battery on the laptop is dead, so the laptop is running directly from current, but that shouldn't matter as I have...
