Brother HL-2030
настраивал по инструкции: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Brother_HL-2030
исправил /etc/init.d/ /etc/rc.d/ и /etc/printcap.local на /etc/printcap - все по инструкции
после запуска ./cupswrapperHL2030-2.0.1 выдает:

./cupswrapperHL2030-2.0.1: line 527: lpinfo: команда не найдена
./cupswrapperHL2030-2.0.1: line 533: lpadmin: команда не найдена

по тексту в скрипте идет:

if [ "$port2" = '' ];then
	port2=`lpinfo -v | grep 'usb://' | head -1`    #(это строка 527)

комментарии с номерами строк написал я.
Нашел костыль - совместное использование опенбокса и гнома, но вызывает вопрос почему 100% загрузка процессора?
не помогло, только вручную.

процессор загружен на 100 %
компиз еще не стоит
Проблема в невключении метасити, драйвер, похоже, не причем, и с апплетом разобрался, похоже все,чего дотронулась убунта надо чинить ;)
Я ставил все тоже в виртмашине - проблем с этим не было.
Окно невозможно двигать никак, оно намертво привязано.
metacity - установлен.
сделал metacity –replace - временно помогает, но апплет рабочих столов показывает только 1
Установил таки арч, с гномом (по вики) подключил домашний каталог, вроде проблем нет, но некорректно отображаются окна - нет заголовков и невозможно двигать окна, и нет рабочих столов.

(тестинг реп не подключал)

Почему в арче нет возможности выбрать версию ядра при загрузке (как в убунту и пр.) - только два сиротливых пункта arch и arch fallback.
