Re: Can't Boot From Hard Disk - SOLVED

Not to be condescending, but I'd use Timeshift (as you yourself mentioned) and create MX Snapshots. Many people have insurance, consider them as well invested time for insurance. The default settings are both dead simple. HTH or motivates! I'm sure I'll look into it once this recovery process is fi...

Re: Can't Boot From Hard Disk

Is the partition you were saving files to the same one that has your home ? If so, using the Live USB, boot up and try moving some of those files off your installed hard drive. Once you get a few mb of space it should boot up. I'm in the process of moving some of those files now. Hopefully, that wi...

Can't Boot From Hard Disk - SOLVED

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but here goes. The other day, I accidentally reformatted an external hard drive. After learning about photorec, I installed it and gave it a try. It seemed to be recovering my files, but the directory I was saving those recovered files to was on a partit...

Re: Brother Printer Problems Anew [SOLVED]

I am test-driving the live version of MX-21_KDE. In the live version, I can get sound and internet working just fine, but printing is another matter entirely. (I had and eventually solved the problem two years agoin MX-19, one reason I have been reluctant to switch.) I tried running the script spec...

Re: Brother Printer Problems Anew

It looks like I am back to square one after installing MX-21_KDE. In the printer configuration, it shows the driver installed. The IP address for the wireless printer is correct, although when I run the arp -a command, it shows me the IP address and says it is "<incomplete> on wlan0." In t...

Re: Brother Printer Problems Anew

I found the correct IP address and was actually able to open the Brother page for the printer in the browser. I then reinstalled the printer using the ipp protocol with the printer's IP address and was able to print a test page. Before I mark this as solved, though, I will need to go ahead and insta...

Re: Brother Printer Problems Anew

Re: Brother Printer Problems Anew

I ran your script from the Wiki. Toward the end, it asks if I will specify the DeviceURI. If I say no, the printer doesn't seem to work. If I say yes, it gives me 16 different options including ipp and ipps which return a Bad Device Name error, Auto, which didn't work OK, the Brother installer cona...

Re: Brother Printer Problems Anew

And best as mentioned start first with the known IP address of the printer and select the printer drive from the list to check the printer works. You can add further "Printers" or change the printer network-protocol instead of direct IP-address. To check printer IP-address open in the bro...
