If it is a network printer the odds are it is a postscript printer. The PPD file is a text file. I doubt it is an intel/powerpc issue. Have you tried adding the printer directly from the CUPS interface? Should be running on Port 631: http://localhost:631/

The problem is you are going to gently caress them up even more by blindly setting 777. I would go with repair permissions first.

Martytoof posted:What was that goon-approved fink/ports replacement that was mentioned a while ago? For some reason I can't find where we were talking about it and I want to install nmap. I guess I'd like to not worry about fink/ports if I don't have to and if this is better. It was homebrew, but warning it fucks with your /usr/local permissions. I went to macports after it hosed that poo poo up.

Fren posted:Could you be more specific? I swear by Homebrew precisely because it doesn't require special permissions to do anything. Is there a issue for this already on their GitHub page? It wanted to change ownership of local to my account, and bitched about some other software I had installed in local. It then creates a bunch of symlinks for the homebrew software instead of just modifying your local shell profile to look in the homebrew install directory.

I really never had any major issues with macports, sure having 2 copies of perl/python/Xorg can be annoying. At least it doesn't gently caress with my permissions.

mllaneza posted:That magic line at the start of a script in Unix ? #!/bin/python ? If you need a specific version, install it to /usr and then specify that in your scripts. You should not be installing into /usr unless it is though the package management system. There are plenty of ways to handle which version you want to run though the shebang. E: spelling.

japtor posted:For someone that's not too knowledgeable about this stuff beyond basics, what are the implications of it loving up permissions/ownership on /usr/local? Security cause anything from your account can write there and/or messing things up in a multiuser environment? Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong, this is the way I was taught by a crusty old unix neckbeard with a lazy eye. /usr/local is for root installed applications outside of the package management system. Generally in Linux and some Unix systems, it is used for things like user compiled applications, perl modules installed by cpan, python modules installed by easy_install, etc. The key here is that it is shared by all users on the system. But you say, "Swimnurd, I am the sole user of my system, why not just let my account own that folder?" Well daemons (Services) tend to run as a user that is just for that daemon. If the daemon, was user compiled or needed any installed software in /usr/local and lacks the proper rights to access it, the application will core. Sure, you can play with the permissions to allow other accounts access to those shared libraries and poo poo, but by default most systems are set up to do this in the first place. Why reinvent the wheel? MacPorts to get around messing with permissions in the /usr/local directory, it creates a clone of /usr/local in /opt, called /opt/local. Then modifies your shell configuration to include that install root in your environment. Effectively, creating a walled garden, MacPorts works like a package manager and keeps track of all installed software in its clean disk space. It has a nice side effect of giving the option of allowing each user to participate in the ports installed software or not participate and just use the defaults. Homebrew seems to install its software in /usr/local/cellar and then symlink install into /usr/local. It also by default allows you not to be elevated root though sudo to run homebrew. Which is why it changes ownership to /usr/local to your account. This works on a clean install, but if you have ever installed anything into /usr/local it will gently caress your poo poo up. What I don't understand is why homebrew doesn't just install to the users profile instead of modifying system directories. To me it seems like it was written by a very lazy admin, who can't be bothered to use sudo. These practices are dangerous and will always lead to trouble down the line. TL;DR: Homebrew does crazy poo poo. Don't use it.

But ever since moving to Lion, a lot of times the OS will just hang with the spinning indicator on a gray screen for a minute or 2 (or more.) Anybody have any else getting this? What the heck is the OS doing when all I want it do is shutdown?

If you don't have the disk, you should be able to boot into single user mode and reset the password. I haven't done this since about 10.3, but I doubt it has changed.

Very nice I love ARD too, have been using it since Network Assistant. It really is VNC with some extra not so good extra security. I hate the way ARD works on a network level, our IDS goes bat poo poo when I fire the app up. It likes to ping sweep the subnets that your managed clients are on.
