Missing the obvious with my scanner?
by Clayton Cornell 02 Aug '02

02 Aug '02

OK, I am trying to get my USB HP scanjet 2200c working with SuSE 8.0. According to the various webpages on scanners in Linux (eg http://www.semeniuk.net/linux/hp2200/ ) I should be able to use the plustek backend to fire up the scanner. Thing is, after a couple hours of reading and trying things it's still not working. I have made some progress, but I seem to be stuck trying to initialize the silly thing. Here's what I have so far...... - I can see the scanner if I open the SuSE hardware-detect applet. - If I run usbview, it takes a while - more than a minute, but the window eventually pops up and hanging off one of the USB root devices is the usbscanner device. - cat /proc/bus/usb/devices gives me (as one of the results): ------------------------------------------------- T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=03f0 ProdID=0605 Rev= 1.00 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=e0 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=ff Driver=usbscanner E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 1 Ivl= 16ms E: Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl= 0ms E: Ad=03(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl= 0ms ----------------------------------------------- sane-find-scanner gives me: -------------------------------------------------- sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor = 0x03f0, product = 0x0605) at device /dev/usb/scanner0 sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor = 0x03f0, product = 0x0605) at device /dev/usbscanner --------------------------------------------------- so... that seems to be right. I have edited /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf so that it looks like this (edited down to take out the instruction comments to save space in the email): --------------------------------------------------- warmup -1 lOffOnEnd -1 lampOff -1 [usb] 0x03f0 0x0605 option lampOff 180 option lOffOnEnd 1 device /dev/usbscanner ------------------------------------------------------- Now when I try to start a scan manually, nothing happens. For example: ---------------------------------------------------------- scanimage -d plustek:/dev/usb/scanner0 scanimage: open of device plustek:/dev/usb/scanner0 failed: Error during device I/O ---------------------------------------------------------- Permissions on /dev/usbscanner are: crw-rw-rw- 1 ccornell users 180, 48 Mar 23 20:50 usbscanner Permissions on /dev/usb/scanner0 are: crw-rw-rw- 1 ccornell users 180, 48 Mar 23 20:50 scanner0 scanimage --list-devices returns the error that no scanners were identified. xscanimage just hangs there for a while (~2 minutes) and exits with a message that no scanners were identified. Kooka takes about 2 minutes to start up, and cannot find any scanners. xsane is the same... hangs for a while, and then reports back that there are no scanner devices. So, anyone see what I have missed here? Why is this scanner just sitting there so smugly, refusing to startup? C.

Hi, Put all the KDE files in one directory. Then run 'rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force *.rpm' Log out and into KDE again and then you have 3.0.2.

Hi, I've been trying to configure sasl-auth/postfix in SuSE 8.0 without success. The server always responses Authentication failed errors. I've constructed '/etc/sasldb' using 'saslpasswd' with my usertest and password . I also added to 'main.cf' file: smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, check_relay_domains and finally, I added to '/usr/lib/sasl' directory the file inetd.conf with the only-line pwcheck_method: sasldb But the server always responses what folows in a debug session (Masked user and some details with ***): Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: watchdog_pat: 0x8092f70 Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: < localhost[127.0.0.1]: EHLO bach Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 250-bach.oxixares.com Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 250-PIPELINING Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 250-SIZE 10240000 Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 250-VRFY Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 250-ETRN Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 250-AUTH CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 250-XVERP Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 250 8BITMIME Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: watchdog_pat: 0x8092f70 Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: < localhost[127.0.0.1]: AUTH DIGEST-MD5 Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: smtpd_sasl_authenticate: sasl_method DIGEST-MD5 Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: smtpd_sasl_authenticate: uncoded challenge: realm="bach.*******.***",nonce="9BWo3s5**********HV7eFcKoDLwvHE87uJNgdAYfLM=",qop="auth,auth-int",charset=utf-8,algorithm=md5-sess Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 334 cmVhbG09ImJhY2gub3hpeGFyZXMuY29tIixub25jZT0iOUJ**********mRNN2pjK3BIVjdlRmNLb0RMd3ZIRTg3dUpOZ2RB**********FvcD0iYXV0aCxhdXRoLWludCIsY2hhcnNldD11dGYtOCxhbGdvcml0aG09bWQ1LXNlc3M= Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: < localhost[127.0.0.1]: Y2hhcnNldD11dGYtOCx1c2VybmFtZT0iZ2J2IixyZWFsbT0iYmFjaC5veGl4YXJlcy5jb20iL********************VZKZE03amMrcEhWN2VGY0tvREx3**********5nZEFZZkxNPSIsbmM9MDAwMDAwMDEsY25vbmNlPSJNemswTXprPSIsZGlnZXN0LXVyaT0ic210cC9iYWNoLm94aXhhcmVzLmNvbSIscmVzcG9uc2U9ZDYwZjZmZjdlZTRiYzY0Njk5N2Q2MGM5NmFjNjIwYzUscW9wPWF1dGg= Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: smtpd_sasl_authenticate: decoded response: charset=utf-8,username="*******",realm="bach.*******.****",nonce="9BWo3s5**********HV7eFcKoDLwvHE87uJNgdAYfLM=",nc=00000001,cnonce="*****k=",digest-uri="smtp/bach.oxixares.com",response=d60f6ff7ee4bc646997d60c96ac620c5,qop=auth Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: warning: localhost[127.0.0.1]: SASL DIGEST-MD5 authentication failed Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 535 Error: authentication failed Aug 2 12:40:18 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: watchdog_pat: 0x8092f70 Aug 2 12:40:18 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: < localhost[127.0.0.1]: Aug 2 12:40:18 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 500 Error: bad syntax Aug 2 12:40:23 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: watchdog_pat: 0x8092f70 Aug 2 12:40:23 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: < localhost[127.0.0.1]: QUIT Aug 2 12:40:23 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 221 Bye Aug 2 12:40:23 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Any help is welcome, I don't know why in the world I can't authentificate :( Thanks in advance.

RE: [SLE] Java installation problems

[snip] > What am I missing to get Java installed and running? I have: source setJava --devel IBMJava2 in my /etc/bash.bashrc.local to initialize the environment for Java. If that file doesn't exist, just create it. Bash will read from it if exists. Remember to 'source' the file so the environment variables will be global. That's the important part. Next, try installing your application again and see what happens. Good luck, -jrh

Kernel update rpms
by Derek Fountain 02 Aug '02

02 Aug '02

OK, now I'm really puzzled. The kernel updates directory on suse's ftp server has four files for the kernel I want to upgrade: k_deflt.rpm, which appears to contain the actual kernel files and kernel-source.rpm which contains the sources - those I understand. There's also kernel-source.nosrc.rpm, which contains a small number of bzipped archives, like linux.tar.bz2, patches.tar.bz2 and so on. The name confuses me - a source rpm with "nosrc"? Also the size: it's a quarter of the size of the kernel-source.rpm file? What does it do? Also, there's k_deflt.src.rpm, which is only about 100K, and contains a config.default.ikr file. What's that for? Explanations gratefully received by an addled brain... -- 12:21pm up 9 days, 3:00, 1 user, load average: 0.10, 0.03, 0.01

DC10 driver in SUSE kernel?
by Derek Fountain 02 Aug '02

02 Aug '02

Does anyone know offhand if the SuSE kernels come with the DC10+ video capture card driver these days? (i.e. this one: http://www.cicese.mx/~mirsev/Linux/DC10plus, not the ancient, broken zoran one which has been in standard kernels for years now). Failing that, where can I find the list of patches applied to the SuSE kernel in 8.0? -- 9:52am up 9 days, 31 min, 1 user, load average: 0.07, 0.11, 0.09

AMD/Intel chipset questions
by Adam Johansson 02 Aug '02

02 Aug '02

Hello, I'm planning on replacing my old AMD K7 (slotA) with a new motherboard/cpu. I've really liked AMD and their pricing and I've been using AMD cpu's since the K6-2 300MHz and on... Now I feel that Intel has dropped their prices and are being really competetive with their P4 processor. What I'd like is to have some comments and thoughts on what to choose?! Rambus is to expensive and not that good so I was thinking of either a P4 with DDR-memory (SiS 645, Intel 845E or 845G) or a Athlon XP with DDR333-memory. Does anyone know of the integrated graphics of the Intel 845G chipset is supported under X? As I have understood it the 845E chipset lacks the support for DDR333 memory that makes the 845G a really good chipset competitive with rambus systems. My impression of chipsets are that VIA-based systems have higher latencies and have had more bugs during the years... Comments? Thoughts? Recommendations? btw, does anyone know of any SMP-motherboards for the P4? I've only found really expensive server-boards for P4 Xeons...
