[04:18] <ih8wndz> is there a howto for amdgpu-pro-17.50-511655 on 17.10.1?
[04:35] <kernal> what do you need to know ih8wndz?
[04:38] <ih8wndz> I am a gentoo user so I'm not well versed on Ubuntu. I'm setting a machine up for a friend. I found this doc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD
[04:39] <kernal> what gfx card does he have?
[04:39] <ih8wndz> r7 240
[04:41] <kernal> https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-for-Linux-Release-Notes.aspx
[04:43] <ih8wndz> if I install that driver, which I have, x wont load
[04:43] <kernal> damn
[04:52] <kernal> gentoo build coming up??
[04:52] <ih8wndz> with his machine?
[04:52] <kernal> yep
[04:54] <ih8wndz> naw, he's a windows tech/gamer miner wannabe who lives in NYC. I'm in Mississippi and don't want to support him for the rest of my life.
[04:54] <kernal> lol
[04:55] <ih8wndz> I'm actually a Funtoo user. I do think it is easier to maintain, but that's just mho
[04:55] <ih8wndz> Love Mate/compiz/cairo-dock

[19:46] <alkisg> In 16.04 I can add printer and select star nl-10
[19:46] <alkisg> It's in the list, it doesn't require downloading any drivers
[19:46] <alkisg> I had that printer in 1995 btw :D

[19:50] <alkisg> What's the output of `lpstat -p` ?
[19:51] <ole_> No the problem is no anwser from the program by parrallen

[20:16] <ole_> driver exuse
[20:16] <ole_> alkis ok but how can i install ?
[20:16] <alkisg> You go to the printer dialog and add printer and select star nl 10
[20:16] <ole_> i find it in cups
[20:17] <ole_> yes but it will not install  thats the problem
[20:17] <diogenes_> ole_, maybe it's for 32-bit only
[20:17] <alkisg> $ lpstat -v
[20:18] <alkisg> device for Star-NL-10: parallel:/dev/lp0
[20:18] <ole_> i can only add parrallel all other thing will not
[20:18] <alkisg> $ lsb_release -r
[20:18] <alkisg> Release:	16.04
[20:18] <alkisg> $ dpkg --print-architecture
[20:18] <alkisg> amd64
[20:18] <alkisg> I.e. it installed fine here, in 16.04, 64bit
[20:18] <alkisg> It just took me 10 seconds
[20:18] <ole_> yes here and 10.10 for my old 10.10 there is working
[20:19] <alkisg> You need to tell us the error. I don't know what you did and it's not "installing"
[20:20] <ole_> i think you have 64 bit  and my 16.04 is a 32 bit  maybe thats the fail  ?
[20:20] <alkisg> No
[20:20] <alkisg> Are you in 16.04 now?
[20:20] <ole_> ok then i must try again thanks
[20:21] <ole_> Yes and my system will not find som printers
[20:21] <alkisg> What do you mean it will not find some printers?
[20:21] <alkisg> Do you have a broken installation?
[20:21] <ole_> By looking for printers
[20:22] <alkisg> OK, run this: system-config-printer
[20:22] <alkisg> It will show the printers dialog
[20:22] <alkisg> There,click "Add"
[20:22] <ole_> maybe the failer is there
[20:23] <alkisg> Select LPT #1
[20:23] <alkisg> Then select Star, and then NL 10
[20:23] <alkisg> That's all
[20:23] <ole_> do you have an email adress  then ilater can tell you if it works
[20:23] <alkisg> Which part didn't work for you, EXACTLY?
[20:23] <alkisg> No, I don't do free support via mail
[20:24] <ole_> alkis ok then i must try to instal my mate again
[20:24] <ole_> I come back but not the first 30 minuttes ok
[20:25] <alkisg> Note that if you already added a parallel port printer, it won't allow you to add another before you delete the old one
[20:25] <alkisg> OK, I'll be here tomorrow if noone answers
[20:25] <ole_> thank but add will not work
[20:25] <alkisg> You don't mention the error
[20:25] <alkisg> "Not work" WHAT?
[20:26] <alkisg> Show screenshot. Tell us the messages.
[20:26] <ole_> i by add no answer
[20:26] <alkisg> You click "add" and it doesn't show you the add printer dialog?
[20:26] <ole_> no dialog
[20:26] <alkisg> Here is the dialog: http://ubuntuguide.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/ubuntu_printer.png
[20:26] <alkisg> See LPT #1 there
[20:27] <ole_> maybe the failor is there
[20:27] <alkisg> If you don't see that, you have a broken installation
[20:27] <ole_> yes i think so
[20:27] <ole_> i come back  ok ??
[20:27] <alkisg> Sure
[20:27] <ole_> ok thanks
