PSA: How to install Brother HL-L5210DW printer under Fedora 40 using IPP-over-USB

I just want to share my notes for installing a Brother HL-L5210DW(T) printer via USB under Fedora Atomic 40 (Kinoite), in case it helps anyone else. This may work for other similar models too. I’ve included some background info at bottom if you’re interested....

Brother’s driver install tool expects dnf, apt, or yum, and so it’s incompatible with ostree-based systems like Kinoite or Silverblue. You can of course download the driver manually and install the necessary packages:

Not being able to provide support for every distro is the other edge of open source

Huh, intersting

Your phone has a snapdragon which is very popular chip to make ROM for but generally hard to unlock unofficially -not impossible though it’s possible there is a workaround by now for your specific chip - on the flip side mediatek devices are less popular due to them refusing to provide the source code but to their partners. however they are well-known to be easy to unofficially unlock due to some vulnerability -in the bootloader- that they refuse to patch.

I did a leap of faith and I unlocked my phone unofficially (mediatek) but if you decide to flip that coin think hard about it and make sure you are well informed (like using your specific phone code name instead of brand name ex: instead of redmi 9 say “lancelot”)

For people who say you should read the contract before agreeing to it. What about the hundreds of thousands? No, millions of people buying new windows laptops every year. Are they presented with any kind of agreement? I don’t think so.

i don’t want to start a war but sorry, office is the defacto when it comes to office work and libreoffice still have many problems with formatting and editing existing .docx files (things seem better when it comes to .xlsx and .pptx) not to mention that your documents might not look similar on both due to missing proprietary fonts.

its a good software in itself its just that its compatibility with office is a little dodgy

@mr_right@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Idk i have never worked with a complicated odt document Although, I would expect some problems because of fonts

Come to think of it. I tried that a couple months ago and The results weren’t so great.( I told word to specifically save my docx document in ODT format)

mr_right ,
@mr_right@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I meant the document (with a lot of pictures, tables, graphs, using a lot of different fonts, etc.) Not the file format.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but thank God my country developers are incompetent.

I was greeted with this message:“This app can’t be used on a rooted device” And I was prepared to go through hoops to get it to work. you know, fucking safetynet and all. But it turns out that the solution was just enabling zygist on Magisk.

mr_right , (edited )
@mr_right@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

It’s just a technique that prevents selected apps from knowing that you have root access instead of just denying them the privileges.

mr_right ,
@mr_right@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Or maybe the magisk devs made it more sophisticated.

yeah… in a way I was both happy and disappointed

Here you go pal

Although it’s a shame they don’t have a vanilla variant for your phone model

Few advices before you start:

  • Before unlocking your bootloader be sure to logout from all your account esspecialy google ( otherwise you might get locked out from your device )
  • The unlocking process can be a bitch ( The process has a Wait time. )
  • Before all that be sure to download your original rom ( also known as R_vendor ) and twrp for your specific device model
  • Also note that flashing your rom can be stressful and (in case something went wrong) It might require some time to fix everything up.

Do I still recommend it? Yes.

Edit: if you are locking for a guide i recomend this one

mr_right ,
@mr_right@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

There is no fixing them. They are a lost cause.

Antivirus softwere. i cant even began to describe how horribly wrong can that go

I mean who the fuck pirate that, you went out of your way to pirate a software from a shady website just to protect yourself from other files u download from other shady websites

mr_right OP ,
@mr_right@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I already know ,it just that i always wondered why the others don’t have it

mr_right OP ,
@mr_right@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

it’s a continous arms race between them and the websites

i thought of that too but youtube-dl and yt-dlp still exists in most repos

jdownloader has a self updating function

maybe i mean the program is written in fucking java, i don’t know of any other mainstream program that uses java outside of minecraft.

mr_right OP ,
@mr_right@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I think it’s just not that popular

i don’t think so there are far more less mainstream and ancient programs in the repos

It is available in AUR, though

the AUR is “Arch User Repository” witch is community maintained repo …so i don’t think that counts.

mr_right OP ,
@mr_right@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Jetbrains

well i meant software that even non developers uses

mr_right OP ,
@mr_right@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

if that’s the case then that’s explains it

but its a bit misleading to call it FOSS tbh

Yes i agree, those who love tinkering and computers and care about thier privacy will find thier way to us. Just like birds that immigrate in autumn.

I know i did, it was around 4 to 5 years ago when i needed a programme that only runs in w10. It was the first time i tried to install an operating system ever ( i can say i wasn’t Nearly as tech savy as I am now,but i defently always loved computers) then during installation i somehow dicided to read the EULA and i came to know that w10 is more privacy invasive than an old lady who doesn’t have anything to do.

I used Wifislax before and i said “if i can use it to browse the internet then i dont care my privacy worth more” and then i remembred that my friend installed ubuntu before on his computer,so i searched ubuntu (around the time when the linux mint snap contreversy started) and now here i am a fully fledged linux user

I like it here on Lemme. I feel pretty comfy. And most of you here are tech savvy. And if not, at least you have some level of basic true understanding of how technology works., Unlike those impostor syndrome redditors. And I suppose it’s a plus that corporations don’t hunt us down for discussing piracy.

If you are using chrome, ditch it and use something like braver or firefox.

We are already in 2024, which means that Chrome probably does not support manifest-V2 anymore. (What an unexpected turn of events)

Dual Booting: How in god's name?!

I have one drive, 1tb with Pop_OS, and another, 500 on to which i want to install windows. (I know, I dont like it either but I want to play VR games via link cable cause ALVR is really mid) So, I put the ISO on a drive with ventoy, booted it up, got it all going. started to install windows on the empty drive. So, after the five...

There is a niffty Boot manager called Refined. This is what I use even though I installed Windows after Linux and had many kernel panics, but it does the job well since it scans your boot drive every time you Power on your machine. Here is a link. Just download the CD-ROM version, put it in ventoy, boot from it, and the rest is easy. You already are a linux user, you can figure it out.

I also advise you to disable Windows updates if you can, and I mean all updates, because they can mess the boot order. If you use Windows to play games and games only.

Edit: You can also install it from your distro package manager if you can access your system.

i’m guessing that whoever leaked the source code didn’t include the assets cause you can easily extract them directly from the game.

mr_right OP ,
@mr_right@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Most of that size is assets rather than programme code

mr_right OP ,

interesting, that’s actually a reasonable theory

Pirated video games SOURCE CODE

So there are multiple sites&groups that pirate video games especially on PC. I was wondering if there are places on the internet where you find source code for games especially the highly modifiable ones like Half Life 2/Portal and Skyrim. Or groups that crack into the source code of games (or even software in general), not only...
