Installer Linux b1165nfw modify important files, damage the system

Hello friends and Dell!

First of all, thanks for the offer of linux drivers, it's really appreciated, and I would not have gotten this camera if they were not available.

However, the installer of linux for pilots makes a few very strange changes of important system files, which made my computer unusable, far as I can tell to be a mistake, then I sincerely hope that one of your representatives may send this message to the one who is responsible.

Specifically, after the download of the driver here: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/product/dell-b1165nfw , I ran the autorun program, and of course, I had to give him Admin privileges and clicked with success by. He changed the owner of the folder/usr 8070:9999 (where it should be root: root), and which is a very important issue, beat many other programs (such as virtualbox). There were several other cases that have this permission changed: / usr/lib and a few files lib on this issue which I do not remember the name (something like libtty).  He also created a vacuum/Desktop folder to the root! If something very strange is happening with the program.

Please have them take a look at this, because according to the skill level of the user, it can wreak havoc on their system. In my attempts to fix it, I made a typo and ended up having to do a complete reinstallation of my system! I was running Ubuntu 12.04, and then I installed 14.04, revived the program, because I had nothing to lose and found the same behavior. I know I'm not the only one, here's at least someone else having the same problem:

Hope to hear from someone soon!

This is what worked for me to get the ability to print in Ubuntu 14.04. These aren't the most extensive instructions, I'm tired, so I apologize. I hope this will help you get started, please keep in mind that I am no expert so follow at your own risk. This assumes that you have already installed cups (it comes pre-installed with most distributions).

Includes the following: download the Unified Driver Dell, moving some files and adding the printer via application printers of Ubuntu.

1. download the universal driver of Dell on the link in my first post and unzip the files (in Ubuntu, you could double-click on and click on extract), which should give you a folder named cdroot, I will refer to this folder across.

DO NOT run the installation script. As mentioned above, it's disastrous things, and judging by the response of Dell to this post (none), they are able to send email to a person who cares little interest.

2. I had started going to the printers Ubuntu app, and he told me that it won't work without 'rastertospl' being installed. If you have a 32-bit installation, this file is located in cdroot/Linux/x86_64 if you have a 64-bit installation and cdroot/Linux/i386. You need to copy in/usr/lib/cups/filter and make sure it is executable, and sudo privileges are required to do. Claiming that you have extracted the Dell installation package to your desktop, orders of the terminal would be these for a 64-bit system:

sudo cp ~/Desktop/cdroot/Linux/x86_64/rastertospl/usr/lib/cups/filter

(Check if it is already executable, then tell - rwxr-xr-x to the left after you run the following command. Note the s in 'x'):

ls-l/usr/lib/cups/filter | grep rastertospl
 
If there are not three x as described above, run this:

sudo chmod + x/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertospl

After you run the program rastertospl (thanks to Olivier at the second link below for the tip), the program shows that we need the libscmssc.so library. He finds himself cdroot/Linux/x86_64 or cdroot/Linux/i386. To copy in the file/usr/lib and again make sure it is executable:

sudo cp ~/Desktop/cdroot/Linux/x86_64/libscmss.so/usr/lib
(if needed :))
sudo chmod + x /usr/lib/libscmss.so

3. I went to app printers of Ubuntu in the settings (System settings > printers) and click Add.

(I had already configured the printer on my network, so I was able to search for and select, if all goes well it shows for you.) When the drivers could not be found for the printer (do not take the generic, it won't work), it gives you an option to add a PPD file. The b1165nfw.ppd file is in cdroot/Linux/noarch/at_opt/share/PPD. I sailed from the app to printers.

After that, the impression has worked for me. It does not scan. Who will have to wait another day.

Thanks to these sources to fill the gaps in my knowledge:

Dell, up to present very little thanks to you. This will probably be the last piece of Dell hardware, I buy. It's one thing to have something does not and one something else quite make an installer that damages people computers. I know that Linux is not a large market, but a simple answer would have been decent.

  • How can I move files to the system folder?

    Hi all

    I was wondering how to move files to the system folder. With the update to El Capitan and the former program is no longer works and the developer suggests moving some files on the system folder that should fix it, but even if an administrator account I don't have write access to the system-> library folder where they need to go. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Steve

    In short: you do not have. The folder/System is only for Apple.  The new protections in El Capitan make it impossible for you to place the files.

    This is what the folder/library for: install additional components to the system, but keeping them separated from the basic installation.

    What software are you trying to run? What files we told you to move? I'm curious to know what type of developer will tell you to put the files in / System.

    Nothing in the Windows or Program Files and files their subfolders should be left alone.  You won't earn a significant amount of disk space, and you may cause to yourself untold trouble sleeping herein.  Use instead the provided Windows Disk Cleanup.  You can get to it by clicking on start-> computer, then click on the C: drive and click Properties.  On the general tab, you will see disk cleanup.  Use it and you will be safe (and not sorry).  Everything you personally placed on the computer can always be removed of course as long as you do not try to remove installed manually the software (use the programs and features in the control panel for this).

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • Need to backup all programs and files without the System Image

    Hi all

    Recently, I myself in a dilemma. I installed 4 additional disks with the intention of creating a RAID volume supported by the BIOS. To do this, I need to change the BIOS setting of the controller which includes all the volumes, including my boot drive (that I don't intend to RAID). The problem I have is that when I pass the UEFI to RAID controller, Windows Recovery will not use the System Image I did. He said that the volume was created under a different arrangement (Bios vs. EFI).

    What are my options? Is there a different backup setting, which allows to keep all my installed software? I am not concerned with the data that I can copy it to an external volume, but it would take several days to get all of my software reinstalled. I would like to avoid this. I guess I'll have to reinstall Windows Pro 8.1 and then use a backup program to restore everything. If this is the case, then I need to know which backup program will work. If there is a better way, I would like to know. I see my options in the form, get another backup program, get a map of controller for the boot drive or the RAID volume or just reinstall.

    Thank you

    You take your .muse file at the other system with installed Muse and then change there through Muse. Otherwise, if it's just some text and foreground images that you want to modify in the frontend of site BC and then be able to synchronize changes to your .muse file, use the browser in function - http://www.adobekb.com/working-with-in-browser-editing_pt01.htmlof edition.

  • Correction of names of imported files (rename the way of bulk in original file names)

    Accidentally, I've included a change of file name when I imported a whole batch of several hundred images. I broke a rule that I teach my own students of Lightroom and is watching carefully the choice of Panel to import before continuing.

    How can I fix it so that the files are named as they were originally? I know how easily fix file names in Windows (using a tool called BulkRename, for example), but then I have to "find" each image one by one and point correctly to the renamed version. I tried selecting all images, then using F2 rename, but none of the templates allows to remove a part of the file name. I know I can remove all the catalog and re-imported, but is there a simpler solution? Thank you.

    Dilip

    P.S. Here is an example of what I mean:

    MAP:

    IMG_0001.NEF

    ...

    IMG_0300.NEF

    WHAT I ACCIDENTALLY RENAMED:

    IMG_0001 {photographed by John Doe}. NAVE

    ...

    IMG_0300 {photographed by John Doe}. NAVE

    You are probably not see because it is not stored in the catalog. My guess is that the files are renamed when importing are treated as if their original name is the one they rechristened themselves to.

    Then you're probably out of luck and either settle for your new names, or you delete the files and the re - import.

    Or... maybe... If the files are still all there, you might be able to select them all (sorted in the order in which they were shot) and use LR rename function to synthesize the original names, complete with added by the camera sequence numbers. If it works for you?

    Ja.

  • Import files with the extension of contact?

    I have a folder with the files with the extension ".contact" Windows recognize because it opens and displays the contact information when I double click. I'm doomed if I can find a way to import them into Thunderbird but. The option import from address book does not recognize them all when you use the following options: Outlook Express, text file, and the Vcard file. The other two options 'Eudora' and 'Prospects' are grayed out. I can't drag the contact files in Thunderbird address book either.

    I am quite confused because they are obviously contacts and it must be in a common format, or else it does not open with Explorer. If Thunderbird will not import these then I want that it was mentioned on the import menu or somewhere so that I don't have to spend an hour reading and watching tutorials that are of no use. The contacts were from another computer and saved on a new computer to replace by the Geek Squad (Best Buy).

    10 Thunderbird 45.5.1 Windows

    Thanks ago

    These .contact files are in the file c:\Users\ \Contactsusername? If so, you should see a toolbar with buttons for the new contact, New contact group, import, export etc. Click on export and choose the format CSV or vCard. For csv files, you can change in a spreadsheet for records correspond to the layout of the address book TB. Then select Tools/import... Address books... ... Text file to change the file type filter to comma-delimited (csv) and open the csv file. Then, move the input fields upwards or downwards for match TB.

    To import vCards, see this post.

  • Import the data file into the system of 9

    We find very cumbersome to import external data into intelligence reports 8.2. At the time that we get things trimmed and formatted, and all datatypes paired is unmanageable on any scale. We wondered if the file, import, capacity of data file still exists in the system 9 and if it improved?

    Yes, there still are even in 11.x and is pretty much the same functionality.

    I don't know which version support allows you to refresh data imported through the Process method.

    With the help of imported data files are quick solutions for the integration of data from office with the company data. However, it is not ideal and easily deployed in a business model and will not work if your users use the iHTML customer.
