Well I was able to create a triple boot of windows vista, Ubuntu 10.04, and Ubuntu 12.04. The only way i could get a clean boot of 12.04 was via WUBI, and because I have an AMD64 it configured the release as a 64 bit release. Now I have been struggling to get my Lexmark printer to work with the system but the install script from lexmark is for only a 32 bit config. I found the following code in the install script and I get the an error
when it can't discover the front end form my machine. Could anybody help change the script so i
# Does some simple checking, and tries to launch the right installer frontend
# Unpacks $1.lzma to lzma and removes $1.lzma
# $1: File to handle
# $2: libc directory to be used for lzma
unlzma()
{
if [ $ARCH_TYPE = "lzma" -a ! -z "$1" -a -f "$1".lzma ]; then
"${2}/lzma-decode" "${1}.lzma" "$1" 2>&1 >/dev/null && rm "${1}.lzma"
fi
}
# $1: Base directory
# $2: Base lib name
createliblist()
{
echo `find "$1/$2"* 2>/dev/null | sort -nr`
}
if [ ! -d "./bin/$CURRENT_OS/" ]; then
echo "Warning: No installer for \"$CURRENT_OS\" found, defaulting to Linux..."
CURRENT_OS="linux"
fi
(point of error) I'm able to kludge the code to amd86_64 but it won't get that far. Please help. I would once again appreciate your help. My printer works well with release 10.04 and perhaps that's where I'll stay.
