Epson provides Linux drivers for those scanners. The drivers allow the scanner to interact with the Linux scanning/printing software. You may not have that software installed. The Wiki for your Linux distribution will probably have instructions for setting up the software. The image software...

The desktop app doesn't work for me, either. I have a message out to them and am awaiting a response.

You probably did this, but the install instructions for the new desktop app say to completely remove an old install and stop the killswitch before installing a new version. I wrote to them when I got their announcement: I use Debian 10. I have the previous protonvpn-cli terminal client...

Proton recently released a new Linux desktop client, and an updated CLI version. https://protonvpn.com/blog/protonvpn-linux-app/

Thank you all. This will give me some things to explore. Is it standard with Linux to have the detailed help on the Web site of the software?

I switched to Debian Linux a couple of months ago. I spent many hours over several months before that reading about different distros, their pluses and minuses. For each distro I considered, I read what I could find on their individual Web sites about installing, and I read the "install trouble"...

100 Keyboard Shortcuts.... Most desktops will have place where you can configure keyboard-shortcuts.... ...Tiling Window manager. Thank you; those cover moving around on the desktop, with nothing about moving around various sections inside program windows. The Cinnamon file manager is Nemo...

Hello, I installed Debian 10 with the Cinnamon desktop environment recently after using both OS/2 and versions of Windows up to 8.1 for a long time. I don't like to use a mouse, and I navigated almost entirely with the keyboard. Both OS/2 and Windows have keyboard shortcuts for almost all user...

Edit: I figured out how to get it working. I found the answer in this forum: https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=139250&p=699914&hilit=brother+scanner#p699914 A non-free backend issue A recent change to libsane in Debian may impact on the ability of third-party software to initiate...

"Stock Debian is not user friendly but if you must have a Debian biased distribution Linux Mint Debian Edition is best for you" That's what I'd tell other people after installing my first Debian system. I doubt the scanner will work since Brother doesn't provide Linux drivers for it.

Thank you. I tried that driver; it's installed but SimpleScan doesn't see my scanner.

I have installed Debian Buster with Cinnamon desktop. I have read the installed help, the information on how to assign key combinations, plus dozens of keyboard shortcut Web pages, but I can't find how to move among parts of windows using only the keyboard. For example, in the file manager Nemo...

I got Debian Buster installed and running. I've been using it for almost two weeks, for everything I do, business and personal. The only thing that will probably never work is my old scanner, a Brother DS700D. I was fairly disappointed at how much is not documented at debian.org, specifically...

Writing this from a successful hard disk install of Debian. It was substantially less trouble than I expected. Downloaded the Debian Live Cinnamon ISO. Used win32diskimager as described here https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/index.en.html#write-usb to burn to a USB stick. Tried to boot from USB...

Thanks! I think this box only permits one hard drive. I haven't opened it up yet to look, and the info isn't in the manual. I have no interest in remaining with Windows, so I'm going to remove the Windows drive and replace it with a new drive. I understand the principle of having the system and...

Thanks. Will report back after hardware arrives.

I've been stuck using a Windows 8.1 box but that is end of life soon. I plan to install Linux on it. I've read some on various forums, including here, about various flavors of Linux. I'm thinking of Debian and Mint but am open to anything. I've been using computers for a long time. My favorite...
