Drivers won't install from CD
Trying to install drivers for Samsung all-in-one printer/scanner to run under Kanotix 2005-04.
Insert CD, icon appears on desktop. Mount CD, am then able to view file contents of CD, but the executables will not run. If I log in as root, no icon appears on desktop when CD inserted, but am able to view CD files using a file manager. Still not able to execute file - icon "flashes" momentarily, and nothing happens when clicked on. It should autorun! File permissions show CD belongs to root, with all permissions enabled. Suggestions, please? I've wasted 2 days trying to get this installed......aaaaaah, Windoze! |
Are you trying to install window drivers with an exe? If so that won't work.

Too much hassle?
Linux isn't like windows it takes some work to get everything the way you want it. If you don't feel like hassling with it maybe you should stay with windows. Kanotix can hardly be called a hobbyist version. Kano is well repected in the Linux community. Did you try looking through the Kanotix wiki or manual? I have ran it for almost two years with few problems. If you plan on learning how to use the power of Linux it is a good idea to check what hardware works before buying. Good luck using Xandros. I tried it but didnt like the feel of it and didn't want to have to pay for the Xandros Network to install apps. |
