[SLUG] Re: slug Digest, Vol 28, Issue 27
Hi Sluggers, Would someone fill me in on which partition my Ubuntu Hardy system is on. Is it "/" or "/home?" A list of both directories follows: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home$ ls bin dev initrd.img media root tmp vmlinuz.old boot etc initrd.img.old mnt sbin usr cdrom home lib opt srv var david initrd lost+found proc sys vmlinuz [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ ls bin cdrom etc initrd lib media opt root srv tmp var boot dev home initrd.img lost+found mnt proc sbin sys usr vmlinuz I recently upgraded from Feisty and added a separate /home partition during the installation.

[SLUG] Partitions
Thanks, Sonia but I don't follow. I know which partition has "/" and which has "/home". What I don't understand is which one has the Ubuntu system and what is "/home" for?

[SLUG] Canon LBP3100 and Ubuntu
I have tried everything I can find to get this working but without success. The drivers install OK. CUPS GUI looks OK. I send jobs OK and CUPS says 'job completed' but nothing prints. I have checked out the printer in Windows and it works. Any help appreciated. Details: Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Driver is V1.60 for Canon 3000 (3100 not there). I have also tried V1.80. Printer is USB connected. I also connect to a Brother printer via my home network.

[SLUG] Canon LBP3100 Printer and Ubuntu
I have tried everything I can find but still can't get this to print. Is there anyone in SLUG with some printer experience that could help please? I am using the recommended drivers and they installed OK. The CUPS GUI shows a print job as 'processing', but it never finishes. Should I just dump the printer and buy an HP which I am sure will work? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] Canon 3100 Printer and Ubuntu 8.10
I spent 2 weeks trying to get this working. The problem was that I had left a second printer installed on the same USB socket. I deleted both printers with System/Admin/Printing and reinstalled the correct model and drivers. All works fine now. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
