| holstein | ok.. use it then.. but, the included tool works as well, typically | 03:10 |

| marc__ | uncle google doesn't seem to provide lxde answers | 13:37 |
| Gulibuf | hi, can I have a question here about my diffulty with update manager? | 21:37 |
| holstein | sure | 21:38 |
| holstein | i suggest, in a terminal "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 21:38 |
| Gulibuf | ok, is it better than "sudo apt-get clean" and retry? | 21:40 |
| holstein | Gulibuf: the above is what i use | 21:41 |
| Gulibuf | ok i see its downloading well... Another question. I get problems using my lexmark printer. Ubuntu doesnt work with Lexmark printers well? | 21:45 |
| holstein | well, its likey the other way around | 21:47 |
| holstein | lexmark is or course welcome, encouraged and able to provide support for linux.. but they may not.. though, linux and ubuntu are quite capable of printing documents | 21:48 |
| holstein | Gulibuf: you can share your specific model and i can search a bit.. or another volunteer might know or have first hand experience | 21:48 |
| Gulibuf | OK I have a X5075 Lexmark all in one printer and fax scanner | 21:50 |
| Autoclesis | lubuntu worked fine with my airprint system set up with macs and HP printers | 21:50 |
| Autoclesis | in fact this Ubuntu stopped working for that | 21:50 |
| Autoclesis | [dual booted win and ubuntu] | 21:50 |
| Autoclesis | oh wait no | 22:03 |
| Autoclesis | Lubuntu stretched and deformed the printing | 22:03 |
| Autoclesis | or squished it, rather | 22:03 |
| holstein | i have seen that as well.. i always just try other drivers, or force them, til something works | 22:03 |
| holstein | *if* it doenst work right out of the box | 22:04 |
| Gulibuf | can u install windows drivers with wine app or something like that? | 22:05 |
| holstein | nothing about ubuntu is preventing drivers from working with it | 22:06 |
| holstein | its just not the right place to put the burden.. its not indtended, or guaranteed to work with linux. so, how can linux bridge the gap? | 22:06 |
| holstein | it does a great job of providing suppor through generic kernel drivers.. i typically, literally try about 20 drivers or so til i give up, on problematic printers | 22:07 |
| holstein | if you have literally pluggged it in, and went with the defaults, consider trying a few other drivers.. close in model #.. | 22:07 |
| Autoclesis | thanks holstein | 22:11 |
| Autoclesis | I like how fast lubuntu is | 22:11 |
| Autoclesis | I put it on an old Sony Vaio | 22:11 |
| Autoclesis | and it's ready within one minute of turning it on | 22:12 |
| phillw | Autoclesis: is for this reason that bugs for 'hibernate' are no longer high priority. | 22:26 |
| Autoclesis | okay! | 22:26 |
