What's the difference between the various printer connections?

I'm installing a new printer and I'm given 4 connection options.

• AppSocket/JetDirect network printer via DNS-SD
• LPD network printer via DNS-SD
• IPP network printer via DNS-SD
• AppSocket/HP JetDirect

Which one should I choose?

It's a Samsung CLP-320 if it makes a difference.

Will "Ubuntu for Android" (12.04) work with the Samsung Galaxy S2?

I'm trying to buy a new Android phone and I own an Ubuntu 12.04 computer...

I have the choice of a Google Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy S2 and an HTC Sensation XL.

I am aware that the HTC already works with it, but I would prefer to buy the Samsung. I already have the phone hardware specifications and have checked, but I am not sure about the Samsung or the Nexus.

So which of these phones work with Ubuntu 12.04's 'Ubuntu for Android' feature?

How to set the monitor to its native resolution which is not listed in the resolutions list?

After installing Ubuntu 10.04 with my Samsung SyncMaster B2030, native resolution (1600X900) is not found in the list of resolutions.

How to make keyboard backlight Fn buttons work in Samsung Series 9?

I've just installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my Samsung 900X4C. However, I can't get the keyboard backlights to work.

I added the keymaps as per community docs - Samsung Series 9 (section Function Keys). But regardless of pressing Fn+F9 or F10 (backlight decrease/increase), I get:

1. No lights in keyboard
2. Toggler in top right corner always pops-up as maxed out (i.e., "full light")

How can you fix the keyboard backlight? The Fan button (Fn+F11) doesn't work either, if you also know about that one it would be great.

How to make possible to install Samsung Kies?

I am not sure where this question is set to proper place or not. If not then please guide me to that place.

I have a Samsung Galaxy SII, and doing Android development.

A couple of days before I was using Windows OS, but now I am using Ubuntu.

In Windows I am able to debug my Android app into Galaxy SII with the help of Samsung Kies, but I am not able to do this in Ubuntu.

So what is the alternate of it for Ubuntu. I have googled many times but still not get Kies that support for Ubuntu.

How do I get Ubuntu to recognize my nvidia graphics card?

If i type lspci| grep VGA into the terminal i get this output:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Ivy Bridge Graphics Controller(rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 0fd1 (rev a1)

When i install nvidia-current it installs 259.49 which is the wrong driver for the 650m (259.59 is the correct). Any thoughts?

EDIT: I employed this command dpkg --list | egrep '(nvidia|bumbl)' | grep ^ii which output

ii  bumblebee                              3.0-2~preciseppa1                       nVidia Optimus support
ii  bumblebee-nvidia                       3.0-2~preciseppa1                       nVidia Optimus support using the proprietary NVIDIA driver
ii  nvidia-common                          1:0.2.44                                Find obsolete NVIDIA drivers
ii  nvidia-current                         295.40-0ubuntu1                         NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library
ii  nvidia-settings                        295.33-0ubuntu1                         Tool of configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver

So I guess this shows that since it has no idea which card it is, it doesn't pick the right drivers...

Also the computer is a Samsung Series 7 (700Z7C) if that helps

Running optirun glxspheres gives this output in kern.log

Samsung Magician on Ubuntu 14.04

I have replaced my laptop's HDD with a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB and installed Ubuntu 14.04. I know that the Samsung Magician software drastically improves SSD performance, but have not been able to find a way of installing it to Ubuntu. Has anyone been able to or know how to do this?

Multimedia keys not working after updating gnome

I recently upgraded to gnome-shell 3.12 because my unity desktop stopped working.

Everything is working fine except that my multimedia keys (volume, brightness, etc.) and my shortcuts (Ctrl-Alt-T) stopped working.

I'm using a Samsung New Series 9 with Ubuntu 14.04. However, on a Plasma desktop there is no problem with the keyboard.

All printouts condensed into left half on a Samsung Color Laser printer CLP-365W

After installing the Samsung Color Laser Printer CLP-365W in 12.04, the printout is condensed into the left half of the A4 page (regardless whether 'fit to page' on or off). This happens both with the automatically recognised Ubuntu driver and the 'Unified Linux driver' from the Samsung website. (The 300.ppd (as per 'Unified driver' install) or 360.ppd are the closest matches to '365'.)

Any help??

Connect Android device

I've a phone with Android and I use Ubuntu in my PC. The thing is that I can connect my phone through USB and Ubuntu can read it, I mean, I can see the files and stuff, but that's it.

I can't transfer files without broking them, can't view photos either, and all the things that I can do with Windows are gone when using Ubuntu or any Linux distro.

Maybe I'm missing drivers, the phone is Samsung.

Can anyone help me?

I've search a lot but couldn't find a solution.

Thanks.

Galaxy Note II MTP on Ubuntu 12.04

I bought a branding new Galaxy Note II and I tried to mount its storage to my ubuntu laptop.

As you know, Android 4.0+ uses MTP by default. Android 4.1 doesn't support USB Mass Storage anymore! So I have to use MTP to open my files via USB.

I followed this article to get it work.

It worked only for External Memory Card. but the internal cannot be reached!

There is no two finger scroll option in my "Mouse and Touchpad" settings

I simply do not have the option for "two-finger scrolling" available in my "Mouse and Touchpad" settings. I have tried a lot of terminal commands that I have found in the forums with no success. Who has a solution that will enable two-finger scrolling?
