VolkodavDoes anyone run any Brother MFC by any chance? I can't get my scanner to work on a fresh install. It works fine on another box that was upgraded. Zsane and simple scan do not detect a scanner - all drivers installed with no errors15:06
CarlyHi there hoping I'm in the right place15:28
Carlycreated a bootable drive to put and AMD 64 Ubuntu 16.04 on my computer and somehow it ended up just being the shell now all I have is a black screen with the command line that doesn't seem to like me very much and it definitely will not give me anything I can't do a sudo command because it keeps coming back with a failed attempt to fetch archives15:28

clissold34517.04 seems to have installed ok except that I cant open websites in firefox. I can connect to the router and I can ping. Eg ping 8.8.8.8. Is it a known problem? Can I fix it?22:35
dbartonclissold345: dig example.net works?22:35
clissold345dbarton, no "connection timed out; no servers could be reached".22:36
dbartonclissold345: "dig example.net @8.8.8.8"?22:37
dbartonclissold345: as you might be able to ping 8.8.8.8, your network stack seems to be working (connectivity, routing, etc.)… I suppose you need to set a DNS server (e.g. 8.8.8.8 for Google)22:39
clissold345dbarton, yes the second command does something: "...QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1 ...".22:42
dbartonclissold345 so your DNS settings are wrong…22:43
clissold345dbarton, so how do I correct them? Can you give me a link to (simple if possible) instructions?22:45
dbartonclissold345, well I can tell you a config file (/etc/resolv.conf) as I'm a console guy, but I'm pretty sure Ubuntu wouldn't be happy about it… I've currently no Ubuntu GUI, so I can't give you any instructions. but try to configure your network settings and find something that's called "DNS server(s)" or "nameservers" and add 8.8.8.8 to it22:46
dbartonclissold345 there should be a settings GUI called "Network Connections", then you should be able to "Edit" your connection (wired or wireless) and add a DNS server in the "IPv4 Settings" tab…22:47
dbartonclissold345, http://www.tellypass.com/configure-ubuntu-dns.html22:47
dbartonclissold345 just use 8.8.8.8 instead of 85.13…22:48
dbartonclissold345 or use the DNS of your provider if you don't want google to have all your DNS lookups ;)22:48
clissold345dbarton, thanks your help. I know almost nothing about DNS settings but your instructions sound do-able. Thanks.22:50
dbartonclissold345 np you're welcome! it's more or less a "phone book" for resolving names (aka hostnames e.g. ubuntu.com) into phone numbers (aka IP addresses e.g. 1.2.3.4)22:51
clissold345dbarton, yes Edit Connections and "8.8.8.8" in the Additional DNS servers field has got firefox working. Many thanks!22:58
dbartonclissold345 glad I could help… happy browsing!22:59
