Iissues with timezone and printer naming with Bubba II
Posted: 03 Aug 2009, 10:09
Hi
I have been fiddling with Bubba 2 only a couple of days. So I am total newbie, only having used Ubuntu's less than a year.
With the initial setup I encountered couple problems and would like to know, if I did things the wrong way or are they "features" of Bubba.
As a background info; Bubba was delivered as ver. 1.2.
1. Timezone
During Bubba setup I tried to set the timezone. I selected Europe-Helsinki as timezone and pressed update. Time changed but it was +3 hours off the correct time. Tried same things couple of times and had to give up. I then tried different timezones to get the clock time right. Timezone Europe-London proved to be the matching timezone For Bubba in Finland.
What went wrong ?
2. Printer naming.
Eventually I got settings about right and started adding a printer in Bubba. Bubba recognized HP printer easily and everything went smooth until I had to give the printer a name. I typed printer name and hit the update button.
There was an error. The name I had given to printer was not good. Reason for rejecting my given printer name was that I had typer letters and numbers as a printer name. As I soon noticed by reading the tooltip of printer naming instructions. Printer name could only have letters and underscore _ line but no numbers.
Why is that? Is there some good reason forbidding the printer name to be for example: HP1005.
