  8. FUNTOO ON 32-BIT X86

    in Installation Help

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I have an HP low-power pc.  The processor is a 32-bit athlonxp.  I would like to install funtoo.

    I tried to download the 32-bit athlon file from the funtoo website, but it is not there.

    I downloaded the funtoo install cd iso and copied it to a usb.  It won't boot on this 32-bit pc.

    My question:  Is there a funtoo 32-bit iso image?

    Thanks,

    donjames

    Two questions:

    Can someone give me something to try to solve this problem?

    I have installed Chromium.  If I uninstall Chromium, will nodejs become unnecessary?

  18. [Solved]Brother MFC-L2710DW printer install

    in Installation Help

    Posted · Edited by donjames
    problem solved

    I have installed cups and my HP printer is working.  The Brother printer is not working from my Funtoo Linux.  The brother printer works from my Macpro.

    Where is the URI syntax on the Brother website?

    I finally got the Brother printer to print.

    Downloaded the print driver here: http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadhowto.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=mfcl2710dw_us_eu_as&os=127&dlid=dlf103525_000&flang=4&type3=10282

    Converted the print dirver to a tar.gz file: rpm2tar <print driver name>

    On my web  browser, I connected to http://localhost:631

    Browsed to the  "modify Brother..."

    Clicked on the "internet printing protocol (ipp)" button.

    Entered the ip address of my Brother printer.

    Now it prints!

    Have you told the OS where it can find the printer?

    I thought I had, but evidently not.

    In the file, printers.conf, it says:

    <Printer Brother_MRC-L2710DW_SERIES>

    DeviceURI lpd://BRN3C2AF45C3EEB5/BINARY_P1

    <PRINTER HP_LASERJET SERIES PCL 4/5>

    DeviceURI socket://192.168.1.20

    The HP printer, prints.  The Brother printer, doesn't print.

     

     

  20. [Solved]Brother MFC-L2710DW printer install

    in Installation Help

    Posted

    I have a Brother MFC-L2710DW printer that I am trying to install on a new install of Funtoo Linux.

    I was able to find the print driver on the Brother website, downloaded it and installed it.  The printer is connected to my local area network.  When I try to print, the print manager is saying that it can't find the printer.  The exact message, "Unable to locate printer "BRN3C2AF45C3EB5"."

    Problem: Why can't the Linux OS find the printer on the LAN?

    Thanks,

    Here's what I did:

    ran epro flavor desktop

    put USE="X" in the make.conf file.

    then

    emerge -uDNv lxde-meta

    Got 113 packages to emerge.

    I will let you know what happens.

    Thanks for the help.

    donjames

    It worked!

    Here's what I did:

    1) edited make.conf file:

    USE="X"

    emerge -uDNv lxde-meta

    All packages emerged including lxpanel

    Thanks  for the help.

  25. [Solved]eix can't create the database file

    in Installation Help

    Posted · Edited by donjames
    Send more data.

    The directory, /var/cache/eix, has the permissions:

    drwxr-xr-x

    I ran eix-update as root.

    I changed the permissions to:

    drwxrwxrwx 

    and it worked.  Then I changed the permissions back to:

    drwxr-xr-x

    I hope I didn't break anything.

    Please let me know if this is a proper solution.

    Thanks,

    donjames
