The download was from the SourceForge web site; the version of Linux being used is Kubuntu V7.04. The download is for the installation package named: HPLIP-1.7.4.run.
- While I don't see any hardware implications, the system form is a generic PC, Intel P4 3.00 Ghz CPU, 1 GB RAM, onboard graphics, two 80GB P-ATA 100 hard disk drives, two optical drives – DVD +-RW, DVD-ROM, and a 3.5 inch 1.44 MB Floppy disk drive. P/S is 430 Watt Antec. - I have seen no other error messages nor problems with the installation until reaching this Postfix module. - Installation as would be expected until the system begins the following commands: Running 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' Please wait, this may take several minutes... Running 'sudo apt-get install --yes --force-yes -f ' Please wait, this may take several minutes... ========================================================= >From here: Running 'sudo apt-get update' Please wait, this may take several minutes... Running 'xterm -e sudo apt-get install --yes --force-yes postfix' Please wait, this may take several minutes... - A new window opens, labeled “SUDO” - In this window, which is shown to be “SUDO”, there is a window which reads: “Package Configuration” Within this window is a 3-4 paragraph explanation of options for “Postfix Configuration.” Note: None of the normal scrolling can be used, nor are options for manipulating the contents of this window available with the right mouse button. Only a Page UP or Page DOWN keyboard command seems to work. Clicking on the “<OK>” at the bottom of each of the pages does nothing. At this point, the entire process stalls! Closing this SUDO window, just returns to the installation screen with its revolving cursor. Even after a significant time – NO FURTHER INSTALLATION appears to take place, thereby rendering the entire effort null and void. Please note that I am an experienced user with some 30 years of working with the microcomputer systems; however, I can only classify my status in the realm of Linux as an operating system and its applications – in the neophyte category.
