Removing lsb ...
max@max-HP-Compaq-dx2200-MT:~$
max@max-HP-Compaq-dx2200-MT:~$ sudo apt-get install -f

First two commands did nothing; this is what happened with uninstall and get install.

N4RPS:
Hello!

Sounds like lsb didn't install properly for you. When *I* installed lsb, it shot out three SCREENS of text (it installs a LOT of dependencies). FWIW, I went on to successfully install the 32-bit .DEB version of what you're trying to install with GDebi Package Installer. If it's not already built into LL (can't remember),

sudo apt-get install gdebi

will take care of that.

Try this:

sudo apt-get install -f

That should fix any dependency issues. If THAT bombs, then:

sudo apt-get remove lsb

Then try reinstalling it, copy-and-paste the contents of the terminal window (if only a few lines result), and post that in your reply. Sounds like some dependencies aren't being satisfied...

Rob,

I ran the command to install the LSB package. After several lines of text. it stopped at my user ID and beeps three times. Does that mean it's waiting for something else?

Still cannot download the other file...says connecting, then spins for several minutes and stops.

Max

Bromax2:
Rob,

Thanks.

Are you saying then that I don't need to download the driver separately?

Max
