Installation of a driver for Canon 2400 series printer
by Guest Norman Lowing- 0 replies
- 348 views
Hi, I am currently unable to print or scan documents with my Canon MG2470 (series 2400) printer, which was working perfectly until a few days ago. I've tried reinstalling the printer software including driver, but the latter didn't get installed. The control panel shows a yellow triangle with exclamation mark against the Canon 2400 printer, but when I 'troubleshoot' the problem, it remains unresolved. As a result, my 'Cute pdf writer' is set as the default printer which isn't much use. As regarding scanning documents with the same printer, I'm now getting the error code 5156.69 coming up, but I don't seem to be able to resolve this either. Any hel…

Some images show as empty white box with a tiny blue file in the middle...How can I fix this?

- 215 views
I have a problem with showing some web pics or icons....I have tried everything + as far as I know, every setting in both windows 7 + Google Chrome that I am using. I can see all my own pics ok in my folders, after tweaking thumbnails + downloading 'Icaros' to change filetypes + properties of thumbs e.t.c. But when I try to see some web pics or download buttons for example, all I get is a blank white square where the image should be, with a tiny blue square file icon in the middle of it. The problem has been driving me mad for a while now + I can't seem to find the answer anywhere...It makes it impossible to log in + verify on sites that use CAPTCHA as I can't see it no m…

Sims 3 cheat, ctrl+shift+c not working
by Guest AllieToxicity- 0 replies

The Sims 3 cheat worked perfectly fine when I first installed the game on Windows 7 about half a year ago, until maybe 2 weeks ago, when out of nowhere I typed out the combination and all I got was my cursor becoming a + for taking pictures in the game. Absolutely no idea how it happened, and everything I tried did not resolve the issue (obviously or I wouldn't be posting this question). I've already researched the issue and it's not uncommon, however everything I've found suggests including the Windows key in the combination, but that does diddly squat. I'm extremely attentive towards computer updates, whether it be for Windows, or Chrome, or anything else, so I…

I'm now working on building up a linux kernel for a powerpc system, which is a 32bit system, except it has a 36 bit address bus! Here is the problem, I need to run the linux kernel on a non-zero memory physical address, and the physical start address is 0x4 C000 0000, which is larger than 4G. First I try to write my memory part of the dts file like bellowing: memory { reg= <0x4 0xC0000000 0x01000000>; //address with 16M range device_type= "memory"; }; But in this way I got enomous compiling error with other pre-defined values, like CONFIG_KERNEL_START, CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START, CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET, etc. Always failing above way, I tried to use manual TLB …

How to auto-recognize drive units on boot?
by Guest TassadarLinux- 0 replies
- 219 views
Hi all, I have a problem with my HTPC based on Kubuntu. I have an SSD for the OS and a 2tb drive for files. Everytimes I boot the computer I have to go to Dolphin file manager and enter on the secondary drive that appears as a device; this is because it appears with a red croos icon, and when I enter on it it changes to a green ok icon. If I enter XBMC without having done this, I can't access to the content of this drive, so I always have to enter dolphin and open drive before opening XBMC. It's very annoying, so... how can I make kubuntu enable this drive automatically on every startup? It also happend if a use a USB hard drive, by default I cant access to it un…

Facebook retires Poke and Camera from App Store
by Guest Sam Sabri- 0 replies
- 225 views
Remember Facebook Poke and Facebook Camera? Don't worry, neither does Facebook. The company has pulled the two apps from the App Store. Facebook Camera was launched in May 2012, while Facebook Poke was launched in December that same year. Neither app came to gain widespread prominence, though they were notable for being the first standalone apps from Facebook. Facebook Poke was aimed at being a competitor to Snapchat. The app allowed users to to not only 'poke' one another, but also to send private messages, photos and videos. You could give each message an expiration, up to ten seconds, just like on SnapChat. Facebook Camera on the other hand wasn't competing wit…
