SCSI/Scanner again
by christofschmitt＠web.de 06 Nov '03

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.

Suggestions on video and sound programming tips
by Rafael E. Herrera 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Hello, I'd like to design simple audio and video playback routines for an application. I've a digital signal acquired through an A/D that I'd like to play as sound. Also I'd like to draw the signal on a window that can be streamed through a video card with a TV output (to look like an oscilloscope.) If there is anybody here, working on audio or video programming, I'd like to know if you have suggestions on how to get started. E.g. audio libraries, video libraries, video cards supported under linux, etc. Thanks. -- Rafael

mplayer hiccups
by Alain Barthélemy 26 Sep '03

26 Sep '03

Hello, I had on my laptop with Intel +/- 500MHz mplayer 0.90 and was very pleased with it. Now with a post with processor Athlon AMD 2000Mhz I installed mplayer-1.0pre1 The image is perfect But the sound hiccups (reading .avi file from CDRom on a DVD/CD reader). I installed the codecs package in /usr/local/lib/codecs like asked. Is there something to check or a parameter to add in the instruction line to avoid that. -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre(a)bartydeux.be http://bartydeux.be Linux User #315631

Epson C82
by Lloyd Becker 22 Sep '03

22 Sep '03

I know this is the wrong list for printer problems so if someone could point me in the right list, I would appreciate it. I have been trying to get my Epson C82 printer to work on SuSE 7.2 on a paralell port. The YaST2 does not have a stylus C82 listed. I know it is the same as the stylus C80 but there is no C80 either. Any help, thanks, Lloyd

Problems with E-Music Download Manager
by Stephen P. Victor 17 Sep '03

17 Sep '03

I'm trying to use E-Music's Download Manager 2.0.1 on SuSE Linux 8.2, but I can't get anything to download. The DLM attempts to connect and finally shows the following error: Download failed. (Cannot Connect.) Here's what their online support had to say: The EMusic Linux Download Manager has its own dynamically linked libc in /usr/lib/emusidlm. If you are having problems retrieving files, we suggest that you replace the dynamically linked libc with your own system settings. Any ideas what library I should be linking to? Are there other possible solutions? Thanks, Steve -- Stephen P. Victor http://www.svictor.com San Antonio, Texas USA steve(a)svictor.com
