Lexmark 2600

Download this driver : http://downloads.lexmark.com/downloads/cpd/lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i3... It is intended for Fedora 12, but should work for EL6 as well.

Thanks for the link. I'll try it this weekend. Steve

Well, no luck.

I contacted Lexmark's support and was told the usual "we don't support your OS" line. After I little back and forth I was given a 1-800 number for tech support who weren't available at the moment.

Your system is pure 64bit; no 32bit routines installed. You're trying to install a 32bit piece of software.

You probably need to install glibc.i686 or determine if there's a x86_64 version of the package you're trying to install.

I installed the glibc.i686 rpm which fixed some of the errors. Now I get this:

From looking at the installer script, a suitable frontend appears to be

gtk, fltk or ncurs.

Is it OK to have both the x86_64 and i686 versions of any of these installed?

Mostly only i686/i386 libraries are needed for 32-bit software to run on 64-bit system.

But first please give me exact product number of the printer. Is it X2610, X2650, X2695? It is very important to see it that driver is going to work for you.

I have installed some more i686 rpms and now I get the Lexmark installer to run. It still fails however and I get a message about not being able to load module "canberra-gtk-module". So...

# yum search canberra | grep i686 libcanberra-devel.i686 : Development Files for libcanberra Client Development libcanberra-gtk2.i686 : Gtk+ Bindings for libcanberra libcanberra.i686 : Portable Sound Event Library

# yum install libcanberra.i686 ...lots of dependent packages to install --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root cause is something else and multilib version checking is just pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.:

1. You have an upgrade for tcp_wrappers-libs which is missing some dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to solve this by installing an older version of tcp_wrappers-libs of the different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with --exclude tcp_wrappers-libs.otherarch ... this should give you an error message showing the root cause of the problem.

2. You have multiple architectures of tcp_wrappers-libs installed, but yum can only see an upgrade for one of those arcitectures. If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you can remove the one with the missing update and everything will work.

3. You have duplicate versions of tcp_wrappers-libs installed already. You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors.

...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing much more problems).

Protected multilib versions: tcp_wrappers-libs-7.6-57.el6.i686 != tcp_wrappers-libs-7.6-57.el6.test.x86_64 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I can't remove tcp_wrappers-libs-7.6-57.el6.test.x86_64 because too much depends on it.

Give me output of "yum list tcp_wrappers-libs --showduplicates --disableplugin=*priorities*, I got:

maybe "yum update" or "yum update tcp_wrappers-libs.i686" will help?

So the problem seems to be the fact that I have the test version from the rpmforge-testing repo installed. I've tried disabling that repo and doing an update but no luck. I've tried doing a yum update of the i686 version but yum says it's available but not installed. Doing a yum install give me the multi-repo error. Is there a way to replace one version with anothe?

Thanks, Steve

try yum downgrade

First thing to do is to permanently disable rpmforge-testing and rpmforge-extras repos with "enabled=0" in /etc/yum.repos.d/rpm...

Next, install priorities plugin: "yum install yum-plugin-priorities -y" and add "priorities=<number>" line for each repository in /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory, where number will be set to form a hierarchy:

base: 10 centosplus: 10 contrib: 10 epel: 20 extras: 15 remi: 30 rpmforge: 40 rpmforge-extras: 50 updates: 10

But you must be careful to add priorities= line to ANY NEW repository you add before you run yum, and give it number larger of 10 to preserve the main repositories and stability of your system. Any number >= 10 will mean that yum can replace main packages with ones from that repository!

Once you setup this, run "yum downgrade tcp_wrappers-libs" to solve your problem, "yum list installed | grep @rpmforge-testing" and "yum list installed | grep @rpmforge*" to see any replaced/installed packages from repoforge repository (not a good thing to replace packages from main CentOS repos).

List all installed packages from @rpmforge*:

yum list installed | grep @rpmforge* | awk '{print $1}'

Look/compare if installed package was replaced:

yum list <packages> --showduplicates --disableplugin=*priorities*

I can not from top of my help adapt the list from first command to ditch everything after the last "." and then remove EOL. Maybe someone can solve it and provide a one-liner for you (and the rest of us :) ) to compare the list of installed packages with all available packages from provided list (first command).
