I got a Brother MFC-9970CDW printer, a multifunction device with wired/wireless network. For unknown reasons the driver are not available in Ubuntu and as as user you are not able to find them using the printer configuration search tool. Thereby you need to download the drivers yourself. Download Drivers Go to Brother Linux Driver Downloads and download the LPR driver and the cupswrapper driver. Install the Drivers sudo mkdir /var/spool/lpd sudo dpkg -i mfc9970cdwlpr-1.

Mounting a bin/cue image isn’t possible straight away. It requires a simple convertion using bchunk to convert a bin/cue file set into an ISO file. binchunker converts a CD image in a “.bin / .cue” format (sometimes “.raw / .cue”) to a set of .iso and .cdr tracks. The bin/cue format is used by some popular non-Unix cd-writing software, but is not supported on most other CD burning programs. A lot of CD/VCD images distributed on the Internet are in BIN/CUE format, I’ve been told.

When I last upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 , I was quite disappointed. Mostly because it was a LTS release and though you do not expect buggy and unpolished components. Back to Ubuntu 12.10. Installation The installation is simple and for the first time ever my girlfriend was able to install Ubuntu without my support. During the installation she even mentioned that is was incredible easy and straight forward. The best thing about the installation is the fact that you don’t waste time during the installation process.

My father has got a solar water heater system with a SPIII Solar Water Heater Controller. The controller itself is some crappy closed source with a bad interface (non-standard compliant HTML interface) - however it works. In order to collect all environmental data from the house we decided to buy a Raspberry PI and a few Arduino devices. So far we are able to collect data from the SPIII Solar Water Heater Controller using curl and from the Current Cost device (via cosm.

WEP was intended to provide comparable confidentiality to a traditional wired network (in particular it does not protect users of the network from each other, but from outsiders), hence the name WEP. Despite the intention, several serious weaknesses were identified by cryptanalysts over the last years. The severity of the weaknesses means that any WEP protected network can be cracked using the right software within two minutes or less. WEP was superseded by Wi-Fi Protected Access (also known as WPA) in 2003, and then by the full IEEE 802.
