Network passwords and configurations saved with the old network manager have been forgotten. My home network asks me to re-enter the WEP key every time.

I have no personal experience with printers of these manufacturers and have no idea how good their drivers/support are. I've never used a Samsung printer, but their support for phones, hard drives, and other electronics has been very good. Brother support is horrible. Their products used to be good, but now they're awful (just like Dell). Brother have a driver for the above particular printer. But on their Evaluated Distributions page lists only Debian 5.04 32 bit, while I'm using Debian 6.02 64 bit. As long as the kernel has dropped support for it, you should be okay. It also lists Ubuntu 10.04 both 32 and 64 bit. This is fine but would it work under the next release/s? Same as above. Ubuntu, however, is much more user friendly in the sense that it will download and install proprietary drivers as necessary. On my Debian machine, I compile my own drivers for my unsuported hardware, not hard at all if you don't mind searching the net for them. The Brother customer rep shocked me by not being able even to pronounce the word Linux, by not knowing what 32 bit is, and by asking at the end of conversation:How have you named your OS? Is it a special OS, what is it? This is exact quote. Again, Brother support is horrible. I wouldn't expect them to be engineers, but to at least have heard of Linux and know that is a kernel not an OS :) my priorities are: - reliability of the driver in terms of its availability and OS support after upgrade to the next OS version. - reliability of the printer itself - build-in duplex printing - cost effectiveness - I do not care much about wireless, but if it comes, it comes. :-) If you can suggest any better printer that I've picked up, please, do. I've had an HP LaserJet p1102w for almost two years now. I've used it with Lenny, then Squeeze, and now Wheezy with no problems. Even the wireless printing works.

However, some time in the intervening time, my clock started running fast, gaining, say, 15 minutes per hour, even though ntp was running. I was advised to install the amd64 kernel. Thus I wound up with a franken-machine with a 64bit kernel and 32bit userland. One of the problems with this configuration is that apps which use the kernel and userland versions get confused. For instance, I can install the amd64 version of VirtualBox, but it will not start because it gives me wrong architecture... Well, now 64bit is as stable as 32bit, and I want to upgrade my machine to 64bit userland. Is there a reliable way to upgrade existing packages? Or is a complete rebuild (nuke and pave) the best way? I know I could probably wget every package on my system with a wget script and do a dpkg -i * but that seems frought with danger. On the other hand, doing a nuke and pave means I would be without the machine for the duration of the build, plus the post-install configuration means I have to labor to get things back to the way I like them. Is there some middle ground? thanks, --b To borrow your own phrase nuke and pave. Moving between architectures is probably a very very bad idea :D (upgrade wise).

Running locate jre turns up a bunch of files including gcj-4.4-jre related ones, so I assume have java runtime installed. The icedtea6-plugin is notinstalled. Could that be the problem? If I recall correctly, the entire GCJ has been undeveloped for some time now. Try installing either Sun/Oracle's Java JRE and plugin or OpenJDK's JRE and plugin: Sun/Oracle: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin or OpenJDK: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre icedtea6-plugin -- Michael Checca echo complaints /dev/null -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Correct usage of -t in shutdown?

I tried: shutdown -t 60 System going down in one minute! and shutdown -t 60 now System going down in one minute! but neither worked as expected. Help me, please! Thanks, Alex The -t option is to set the delay between warning and kill signal shutdown time (no -t) is what you want, where time is a [hh:]mm time value. From the man page for shutdown: The time argument can have different formats. First, it can be an absolute time in the format hh:mm, in which hh is the hour (1 or 2 digits) and mm is the minute of the hour (in two digits). Second, it can be in the format +m, in which m is the number of minutes to wait The word now is an alias for +0. -- Michael Checca -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I can get back it with killall gnome-panel command. What is wrong? Hard to tell. Try creating a dummy user account and check if it happens in the new account too. Are you using a different window manager or the default (metacity)? -- Michael Checca -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
