They have sent a task force of doctors, nurses and experts who have also managed this situation in China and therefore know much more about how to manage this epidemic than we do. They are also supplying us with medical devices, just to name one, surgical masks that here in Italy have become rarer t...

Thanks China

I'm sorry to use this forum to vent, but right now it's the only contact I have with the outside world.

touchpad_onoff-0.1-all.pet

Good evening everyone, below a utility that serves to enable/disable the touchpad, that works with the synaptics driver , depending on the presence/absence of the mouse. It is based on an udev rule. I use it on Bionicpup64 but it should also work on the 32 bit version. Edit : In the file /etc/udev/r...

Hi wdt OK, that probably means that the whole cups setup is wrong,, I assume that if you try to print the cups test image the same thing happens. Do you have most recent driver (it is not so recent, samsung is 'dumping' printers) uld_V1.00.39_01.17.tar.gz ,, this, I think, is a universal driver --ed...
