later, from another post, which I can't locate, I was told to get this: imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm.tar.gz so I did tar -xzvf imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm.tar.gz and got an rpm file, as expected, but it has trouble installing:
[CODE] apt-get install imagescan-3.59.2-1epson4opensuse15.1.x86_64.rpm Specified local path does not exist or is not accessible. Problem retrieving the specified RPM file: Malformed URI: Please check whether the file is accessible. Problem with the RPM file specified as 'imagescan-3.59.2-1epson4opensuse15.1.x86_64.rpm', skipping. No valid arguments specified.[/CODE]
which would indicate that the rpm file was not where expected.
zypper -v in /<path>/<to>/<file>.rpm or rpm -Uvhi /<path>/<to>/<file>.rpm
don't know why you want to utilize apt<anything> in openSUSE.
As I mentioned in another post, AFAIK, apt-get install works in any linux, including Ubuntu and PCLOS. It has worked upt to now in Tumblewweed, perfectly.
Anyway, I tried the suggested routine, and it still doesn't work:
linux-4qnb:/home/doug/Downloads # zypper -v imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm Verbosity: 2 Unknown command 'imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm' Type 'zypper help' to get a list of global options and commands.
again, it is telling you it does not know where "image..." is. you *must* provide the path as the example above provides:
zypper -v in /home/doug/Downloads/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm
In case 'imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm' is not a typo it's probably not a built-in command, but provided as a subcommand or plug-in (see 'zypper help subcommand'). In this case a specific package providing the subcommand needs to be installed first. Those packages are often named 'zypper-imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm' or 'zypper-imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm-plugin'. linux-4qnb:/home/doug/Downloads # rpm -Uvh imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm error: imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm: read failed: Is a directory (21)
error: imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm cannot be installed linux-4qnb:/home/doug/Downloads # rpm -Uvh iscan-bundle-1.0.0.x64.rpm error: iscan-bundle-1.0.0.x64.rpm: read failed: Is a directory (21)
error: iscan-bundle-1.0.0.x64.rpm cannot be installed
I don't where to go from here.
and you have *really* been using linux for 15 years ....
Did exactly what you said:
linux-4qnb:~ # zypper -v in /home/doug/Downloads/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm Verbosity: 2 Non-option program arguments: '/home/doug/Downloads/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm' '/home/doug/Downloads/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm' looks like an RPM file. Will try to download it. Problem retrieving the specified RPM file: Path '/home/doug/Downloads/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm' on medium 'dir:/home/doug/Downloads' is not a file. Please check whether the file is accessible. Problem with the RPM file specified as '/home/doug/Downloads/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm', skipping. No valid arguments specified.
Now what? AFAIK, EVERYTHING I ever downloaded came out without error. Shall I try again? There is no check for this file.
then /home/doug/Downloads is not where the rpm file is. The "zypper ..." command I gave you expects to find the file in the path you provide. A 15 year linux user should be able to provide the path where a file is located. If you are unable, you will not be able to install it.
If I do a cd /home/doug/Downloads and run ls -la I get a whole list of files including the decrypted rpm file. However, if I do NOT cd to my Downloads directory and run the command suggested, this is the result: linux-4qnb:~ # ls -la /home/doug/Downloads/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm total 16 drwxr-xr-x 1 doug 1000 62 Aug 20 02:34 . drwxr-xr-x 1 doug users 1938 Aug 30 15:19 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 doug 1000 5378 Aug 20 02:34 README.rst drwxr-xr-x 1 doug 1000 94 Aug 20 02:34 core -rwxr-xr-x 1 doug 1000 7392 Jul 31 03:36 install.sh drwxr-xr-x 1 doug 1000 380 Aug 20 02:34 plugins
If you open dolphin, the file browser, and right-click on the rpm image, imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm the window which opens will tell you the file location "Location:"
that is what you need to provide for zypper to operate correctly.
please provide the output for: ls -la /home/doug/Downloads/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm
the command above is one line and will probably wrap in transit, so you need to invoke it as a single line
Have discovered a number of things: Apparently, the above are directories, each one containing at least one .rpm file, and one of them will not install at all. I have to say that this is a cockamamie way to distribute software. Anyway.... Also, it appears that iscan is actually installed on the system, but it doesn't work. From a user console--typed in by hand since I can't copy and paste it: doug@linux-4qnb:~> iscan Segmentation fault (core dumped) I don't know how it got installed, since I have had no luck, so I must assume that it comes with Tumbleweed. In that case, is there a way to reinstall the whole iscan system from whatever repo it may be in from scratch? Maybe then it might work. I'm in way over my head, here!
