Hi there, this is my first time here, and i am currently using LXDE Mint on my Dell Inspiron 14 laptop. It only has 2GB of RAM so I think elive will be fit for this machine. So, today I tried the live version of Elive. First off, I tried the "for Old computer" live version, and i encountered a pr…

@triantares well, guess what, the problem is solved beautifully without any problem or missing any libs. I installed the *.deb drivers, and added the printer using CUPS with the eliveuser account. So, the conclusion for the adding printer thru settings dialog still have to be modified a little bit. …

Have you tried configuring the printer through the CUPS web interface? That would require opening a browser at http://127.0.0.1:631 and adding or searching a printer from there. The user and password asked for there would be you and your password (same as sudo). I very much doubt this'll work but …

[image] triantares: I very much doubt this'll work but maybe there'll be more error logs. I also doubt about it too. I don't use CUPS printing much but I know about it because I used it to print files from my android phone, which connected on the same wifi network as my laptop, and my laptop …

[image] Ahiung_Lim: I don't think setting up CUPS will make it better because it's a very different thing You use CUPS all the time when you print on Linux. It's our only option available (connected or over the network) so that is the only path to take. The 127.0.0.1 is the local machines I…

[image] triantares: What info are you referring to here? I meant when some error came out, it just too little information about the error. whatever that is, I'll try your suggestions tomorrow then. it's late here already.

[image] Ahiung_Lim: it's late here already. Yeah, timezone differences .... it's early here in Europe. :smile_cat:

[image] triantares: Have you tried configuring the printer through the CUPS web interface? okay, so today I tried this thing. opened the browser and put the address 127.0.0.1:631, and it brings up CUPS page. I selected the printer administration, then under the printer list, I clicked the "a…

Ah, yes ..... well I take it this is still the live version. In that case you will have to give your created "user" admin (especially sudo) rights or ..... create a (temporary) root account or .......... use the password for the live user. That would be: "eliveuser" with password "elive". Sorry a…

[image] triantares: use the password for the live user. That would be: "eliveuser" with password "elive". ill try this tomorrow

smooth install, smooth test, print OK, scan OK. Also, I tested the touchpad inverted scroll setting, which I encountered a problem in Linux Mint (where I have to create a script and put it on startup, to make it work) So far, I think Elive outmatched Mint(or Ubuntu) by many points. I think my res…

Okay, so the printer problem solved. Now, I have another problem. The brightness problem. Normally, by pressing F11 and F12 by default, it should increase or decrease the brightness. But, nothing is happening when I press the F11 (decrease brightness), and F12(Increase brightness). Also, I can't fi…
