SCSI/Scanner again

Hello again, i changed the card to an Adaptec Card AHA-2920 (96001-00 A) (the screen at the boot process tells me: Adaptec PCI) and now i have got two problems: 1. Windows 98 freezes, if the scanner isn't switched on at the boot process. After Windows completely loaded, i can switch off the scanner (strange, but i can arrange with that problem) 2. Under SuSE Linux 8.0 Yast2 tells me: there is no SCSI-Scanner and cdrecord -- scanbus shows no scsi-Card (it only shows the scsi - emulation of my dvd and cd- burner). On the left side Yast2 tells me at last: You have to install the scsi-Scanner manually.... and that i have to choose the scanner from the list ..... but there is no list with scanners or scsi-Cards.... This is at last the same message that i got while using the AdvanSys ABP 925. What have i to do, to install a scsi-card manually? (sorry, if it is maybe a stupid question, but i didn't find a manual to this problem). regards, Chris Am 18 Jul 2003 um 7:19 hat Vakvarju geschrieben: > On Thu, 17 Jul 2003 18:27:00 +0200 > Christof Schmitt <christofschmitt(a)web.de> wrote: > > > Hello list, > > > > just a time ago I had trouble with installing the SCSI-scanner HP > > ScanJet 4c and at last i thought, the SCSI Card is the troublemaker. > > So i got another SCSI Card (AdvanSys ABP 925) and a cable with SCSI 2 > > (i think) at one end and a end with a thick fifty pins adapter from a > > friend as a solution.

Hello Paul Thank you. Problem: the only available rpm is for SuSE-8.2 (i586) and I use SuSE-8.1 (i386), hard to know which other rpm should fit. On another mail I am advised to try Lmule. I downloaded the advised rpm's but I still don't know what Lmule is and - more important - how it works. Is it a Windows emulator like Wine (not an emulator) or is it equivalent of mldonkey? I love web sites that are made for the very restricted group of people who know what it is all about. It is true that last time it took me a few days to install edonkey. Audiogalaxy was faster to install but a few ill-tempered people did not like it. -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre(a)bartydeux.be http://bartydeux.be Linux User #315631

Hello everyone. I don't konw if this is the right mailing list to ask about it, but since is kind of multimedia, well... I just moved to linux a couple of month ago. By the way, I'm so happy about it, and everything is just great!, thanks to everyone out there working for it. But the only thing that I'm missing from windows is kazaa... I got bittorrent, which works fine, but it's not that easy to find stuff, you have to spent a lot of time searching, and t's difficult to find some old music, or old movies. SO, my question is, what do Linux people use to download media from internet?, is there some alternative to kazaa...? Regards. Juan C. Gallardo

Hi, You can use Emule or should I say lmule. http://sourceforge.net/projects/lmule/ Download page http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=72535&release_id=1556… Use version 1.2.1 rpm for Suse 8.1, but if you use Suse 8.2 you will need to downgrade your wxGTK-2.4.0 (Not on Suse 8.1) Installation on Suse 8.1 & Suse 8.2 rpm --force -Uvh wxGTK-2.4.0-1.SuSE81.i386.rpm rpm -ivh lmule-1.2.1-1.SuSE81.i386.rpm Good luck and have fun.

analog video capture - SuSE-8.1
by Alain Barthélemy 27 Jul '03

27 Jul '03

Hello, Less than two years ago (with SuSE-7.2 I think) I managed to capture analog video signals with TV Card Miro PCTV-Rave just for fun. Image is not perfect. Unfortunately it was dual-boot PC and my son decided to install M$ XP and this nice Mickeysoft had the nice idea to erase my Linux partition - I lost all my settings it took me weeks to configure. Now I want to start all over again on SuSE-8.1. I can have a second-hand PC PIII 1.?Gb, 128Mb Ram, 20Gb Hd What TV card would you advise for analog video capture. On the Web I read that DC10+ cards worked very well but it was old cards I think. Pinnacle Studio DC10+ ? I suppose there is still the bttv driver or equivalent on SuSE-8.1. What softs are advised for divX compression. Sorry I lost all my written memos thanks to dear M$. I forgot the name of the soft I used last time to convert to DivX. I have now mplayer installed with all necessary codecs on a laptop and have no problem to read compressed .avi files. A long time ago I could see TV with Kwintv or Sawtv with the Miro PCTV-Rave card. If I have the softs I can then spend a few weeks like last time to read the tutorials. I appreciate if you give a good link to a tutorial at the same time. Thanks, -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre(a)bartydeux.be http://bartydeux.be Linux User #315631

Scanning as user?
by Christof Schmitt 27 Jul '03

27 Jul '03

Hello list, after a 'insmod advansys' command in '/etc/init.d/boot.local' the Advansys-Card works (as 'cdrecord --scanbus' shows). That's allright. But if i want to work with the scanner, i have to "install" the scanner with YAST -> Hardware -> scanner as ROOT (immediatly after YAST -> Hardware -> scanner YAST shows the right scanner as 'installed' - strange, but that the fact). After that i (as USER) can use the scanner by GIMP. Shutting down the system there is the message: 'Resetting /dev/sg3' (or similar text - /dev/sg3 is the scanner) and after the next boot i have to "install" the scanner again. What i have to do, if i want to use the scanner as user (maybe) by booting the system? And is there a way to pre-install the scanner? YAST or the system seems to loose the settings while shutting down. best regards, Chris

>Dear list, thanks to all, who helped me to get my scanner working. As well the Adaptec Card as the AdvanSys Card work with the command: 'insmod fdomain' (Adaptec only) or 'insmod advansys' (AdvanSys only). After that SANE shows a list of Scanners (HP ScanJet 4 c too). At last i take the command in the /etc/init.d/boot.local and now the scanner works. best regards, Chris

Restoring Kmix default volumes
by C Hamel 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

After suspending the notebook the kmix defaults are intermittently not restored and left at zero. I have had to unload the pcmcia & alsasound modules so that they both will work at all after resuming the box. Can someone please tell me what line in what config file may bring this all back to normal after resuming?? T/A -- ...CH SuSE On A Toshi Is All U Need 2 Drive U Crazy.

SCSI/Scanner again
by Christof Schmitt 18 Jul '03

18 Jul '03

Hello list, just a time ago I had trouble with installing the SCSI-scanner HP ScanJet 4c and at last i thought, the SCSI Card is the troublemaker. So i got another SCSI Card (AdvanSys ABP 925) and a cable with SCSI 2 (i think) at one end and a end with a thick fifty pins adapter from a friend as a solution. But SuSE Hardware - List does not show ABP 925 (but it shows ABP 920 and 930). If i check cdrecord -scanbus, the SCSI Card is not there. The scanner and the SCSI Card works fine under Windows 98 SE. The automatical detection of the scanner doesn't work. What did i do wrong? The cable or the card? regards, Christof Schmitt

Re: [suse-multimedia-e] Struggling with Audio CD access rights in SuSE 8.2

I always forget the default reply is to the original sender only, sorry for the double Jan ^^; > What puzzles me even more is that I have to give both > commands everytime again after having booted. Shouldn't > the chmod remain effective, also after boot ? That's right, assuming nothing changes them. In a standard 8.2 installation if you look in /etc/pam.d files for xmd and gdm, you'll see they call a pam module called devperm. This module reads a /etc/logindevperm file, that states wich device should have their permissions changed and to what. Moreover, they change the owner of some devices to the logged in user. This is what's changing the devices permissions. What I dom't understand is why this isn't right for you: after all it should give you ownerships of the listed device, so your user should be able to use them. I have problem with this only when/if I log in with a different user in a different X session, but otherwise I'm fine. Oh, since I'me re-sendding this, I can as well add a maybe obvious tip: if you want to give permission for the devices to some groups, you can change the ownership of i.e. /dev/video0 to root:video this way the logging-in user is assigned ownership of the device, but the other users in the video group can still use the device. Then you go editing /etc/logindevperm to change the rights for the video devices from 0600 to 0660 :-) Ciao, Roberto.
