Re: [ALUG] Printing
by Christopher Dawkins 15 Jan '16

15 Jan '16

> 1. Good option for occasional printing (Steve Engledow) I have an LJ6M that is nearly twenty years old and still working, although it occasionally mangles the paper. However, I now mostly use an HP OfficeJet Pro 8620, which did cost £130. But (with an extra eight pounds or so on the PrinterShare app) it prints documents wirelessly from my Android as well as via CUPS (I hate CUPs, by the way) from all my Linux/FreeBSD machines, it's a colour photocopier, it sheet feeds and it duplexes, and the cost per print seems fine once you get onto the big cartridges. Whatever, the ability to print email attachments from a the comfort of a phone is worth a lot to me! Colour photographs need expensive paper, however: the colour laser I had before this did colour photos well on normal paper. -- Christopher Dawkins Garnetts Corner, Jollyboys Lane North, Felsted, Dunmow, Essex CM6 3DU cchd(a)pjcd.org 07816 821659 01371 821076

No space for Audacity
by Chris Walker 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

I'm having a problem with my system and I can't see where the solution is despite looking online. Audacity said that the disc was short of space and just sat there doing nothing. So I killed the task and looked at the space with 'df'. It shows that /dev/sdb5 has zero space left. Here's the relevant output from df :- Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 3.0G 0 3.0G 0% /dev tmpfs 3.0G 1.4M 3.0G 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 3.0G 940K 3.0G 1% /run /dev/sdb5 7.6G 7.2G 0 100% / /dev/sdb7 7.6G 5.6G 1.7G 78% /usr tmpfs 3.0G 0 3.0G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 3.0G 88K 3.0G 1% /tmp /dev/sdb8 849G 202G 647G 24% /home tmpfs 597M 12K 597M 1% /run/user/1000 So where has the 7.6 gigs worth of space gone on sdb5 or am I looking in the wrong place ? -- __ __| |_ __ __ .----------------------------------------------. / _/ _` \ V V / | mailto:alug_cdw@the-walker-household.co.uk | \__\__,_|\_/\_/ |______________________________________________|

I'm considering purchasing a laptop (say 15.6" screen + Intel i7 CPU type) and I would be grateful to anybody for any comment on recommended brand, model, and potential supplier suitable for use with Mint. Here's wishing all ALUG-gers a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year! -- Michael Goddard <emmjee(a)mypostoffice.co.uk>

PUA Win 32 files?
by Bev Nicolson 04 Jan '16

04 Jan '16

So I ran ClamAV a while back and as usual it identified four Win.32 files from usr/lib/momo/4.0mscorlib.dll as potentially dodgy. (Same files as this questioner had: http://askubuntu.com/questions/583729/clamav-pua-win32-packer-privateexepro… ) My questions are 1) Are they dangerous? Opinion seems divided on this. 2) If I deleted them anyway, just in case, would I do my system any harm? Bev.
