Installing software in ubuntu

[ad_267]

What make and model is it?

If you do a google search with the model and "Linux" or "Ubuntu" you might find instructions.

Samsung SCX-4300

I'm not sure why that's not working. It looks like the scanner isn't supported by SANE but the Samsung installer should have installed drivers for it.

I got some help form a web page but still it doesn't work properly

now I have this message

Details: Failed to execute child process "/opt/Samsung/mfp/bin/Configurator" (Permission denied)

Usually that sort of error means you don't have permission to execute that file. Try changing it's file permissions so you can execute it. You can run this from a terminal:

sudo chmod a+x /opt/Samsung/mfp/bin/Configurator

I did, but still I have in permissions that it is only for root (and I can't change that).
Now when I try to run the help this message appears

Failed to execute child process "/opt/Samsung/mfp/bin/shhv" (Permission denied)

And also, when I click on the program nothing happen

If you use a+x then that adds execute permissions for all users. Root is the owner, that means only root can edit the file. But any user can execute it. Try doing the same thing for that file and all files in that directory:

sudo chmod a+x /opt/Samsung/mfp/bin/*

I did, but now the software it doesn't work (it does nothing). I am going to try to uninstall and install again.
