[Bug 1307221] Re: CUPS does not see parallel printer

Hi Till, dead certain 755 was the default(installation) permissions for parallel backend. You're right! The Deskjet 840C does have a USB port. The printer was given to me by a friend years ago who said it was just a parallel printer. I'd completely forgot to look. But then all my usb ports

Hi Till, thanks for the response. Did 'sudo chmod 700 /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel' and it had no effect. Did 'sudo chmod 777 /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel' and the Ubuntu Cups works perfectly. I have one printer with USB that works fine. I have one parallel printer which now works fine

Same here, even after disabling VSync setting. I see a significant slowdown in simply typing in a text box or using Eclipse vs. 10.10. Even spinners in Firefox are choppy. Oddly enough, the Unity Launcher bar scrolls in and out like butter. Xorg and compiz are also chewing up a lot of CPU cycles,

@Felix Didn't work here either. Interesting thing I noticed after restarting Xorg was that workspace switching is really smooth with no windows open. Soon as I opened Chrome, performance took a dive and gets progressively worse as windows open... -- You received this bug notification because

Tried fgl_glxgears and got an interesting result, a little different than robinl. It flew along at ~450fps, updating image the entire time, no problem. It would only stop and choke when my XTerm displayed the fps results. I minimized my XTerm, no more choking. I tried something else -- I minimized

I just ran into this bug after installing Ubuntu Netbook Remix (9.04) on my Eee PC 900A. I have an internal 4GB SDD that I mount as root (/) and a 8GB SD card that I mount as /home. Looks like there might be a way to trap the failure as fsck fails with an 8. I'm going to experiment with catching

I should also add that my setup did not cause the same problem when running Easy Peasy 1.0 (8.10 based). That booted just fine, no problems with fsck. -- Checkfs fails on USB partition because initialization isn't finished yet; prompts on every boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182616 You

Hi ianmidd, I'm pretty sure the issue is tied to what version of Samba your Maxtor is running. If it's 3, it's a problem -- that's why when I upgraded my NS and got Samba on it up to v3 the problem went away. Can you run the following commands and report back? sudo apt-get install smbclient

Interesting. Looks like upgrading my device to v1.0.4 (which upped Samba 3.0.24) did the trick. Now works as expected, dragging from window to desktop copies the files no problem. Maybe a Samba 2 vs Samba 3 problem. Anyway, looks fixed to me. :) -- Nautilus folder copy fails with Permission
