[opensuse] 32-Bit epson epkowa firmware files on 64-Bit Installation
Hi everyone, When I installed openSUSE 10.3, I could choose to install the 32 bit runtime environment. What exactly does this allow? Can I for instance install the Epson iscan-firmware for the V100 Perfection Photo scanner, which is said to have problems with 64-bit systems as it is 32-bit firmware only? :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

In my experience (OpenSuSE 10.2 64bit), you can install the epkowa package and it will work, but it won't integrate in sane / kooka (them being 64bit). The epkowa package contains a scanning front-end (called iScan) and you'll most likely be stuck with that (I am). Not as nice as Kooka, but it works. HTH Ph.

Thanx Philippe, I have tried to install the iScan, but it needs an libieee1284.so.3 (32 Bit). Installed by default on openSUSE 10.3 is the libieee1284.so.3()(64bit) 0.2.10-107, in /usr/lib64 So I guess the i586 libs will go into /usr/lib. I further presume the iScan software will automatically be directed to the 32bit version and not the 64bit version (which should be left for 64bit apps)? I found a 32bit libieee1284.so.3 for openSUSE 10.3 here: http://fr2.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/opensuse/10.3/i586/libieee1284-0.2.10-107.....

What you need is the 32bit library meant for 64bit installs. You should find that in the x86_64 repository, and it should be called something like "libieee1284-32bit-0.2.10-107.x86_64.rpm HTH Cheers.

OK. Thanks, found it on the same source ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/opensuse/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/suse/x86_64/libieee1284-32bit-0.2.10-107.x86_64.rpm It works now. Phew - great to have a scanner again. Will you do it on openSUSE 11.x as well? Let me know if it worked. Thanx again.

Will you do it on openSUSE 11.x as well? Let me know if it worked. Not sure I follow you. Do you mean: will I upgrade the station that is attached to the scanner to OpenSuSE 11.0 and re-install the epkowa driver ?
If so, I tend to skip the .0 releases. The station in question is 10.2 right now, and I will most likely bring it to 10.3 sometime soon (a nice project for the holidays, maybe ;-) But I'll wait for 11.1 before going any further. Ph.

Yes, I meant using it on 11.0, upgrade or new install. I have recently done one 10.3 upgrade, and two new installs. One update on a notebook was done, but no network connections possible (neither LAN nor WLAN). Went back to parallell installed XP-SP3 for now on the laptop. :-( Will rather try 11.1 on it later I think. On my workstation the new parallel installation with 10.3 did not install the grub properly, trashing my 10.3 grub entries. Can repair that manually, but I have not had time yet. At the office we installed 11.0 successfully on a new machine bundled with Vista Premium Home. Seems OK - :-) Will try 11.0 again at home later. BTW, I have not once had much success with updates. My last try was a slowed down 10.1 system that does all my backups on a network by NFS Shares to other systems, using scripts to create *.dar 4 GB chunks on the Backup's drives, that then also are copied to a usb external drive over night. It remains slow and there were no improvements at all after the update. So, I will have to install it from scratch again. :-( Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
