Installing HP4200C Scanner
by jim tate 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

I'am trying to setup a HP4200C Scanner , That is not supported under the standard sane-backends in Fedora core1, I removed the sane-backend RPMS from Fedora, and downloaded a sane-backend.tar.gz and the patch file and gzip the sane-backend tar.gz and got the source files and then the patch file and you can see what happen below. I need help, Please!! Thanks Jim Tate These are the instructions to install sane-backends. ---------------------------------------------------- Installation You will need a fairly new Linux kernel with USB and USB scanner support, either the 2.3.x or 2.4.x releases or the 2.2.x release with the USB backport. (Well, I have developed the backend using release 2.3.48 and above). If you are using Linux 2.4.18 with sane 1.0.8 you will not have to modify your kernel if it's compiled with USB scanner support. Important: If you are still using an old Linux kernel, you will need to uncomment the definition of the macro SCN_IOCTL in ``linux/drivers/usb/scanner.h'' as follows: #define SCN_IOCTL instead of // #define SCN_IOCTL This will remain until a unified access method to send and receive vendor-specific USB requests through the USB scanner driver or the USB filesystem is established. Then read ``linux/Documentation/usb/usbscanner.txt'' and follow the instructions. By default the backend will look at the ``/dev/usbscanner'' device, but you can override this using the ``hp4200.conf'' file at the sane.d config directory. How to apply the patches Once you have downloaded any of the above patches and the right SANE source distribution, do the following steps: 1. Unpack the SANE source distribution. Let's assume you want to install revision 1.0.3. Execute the following command line: gzip -dc sane-1.0.3.tar.gz | tar xvf - The directory `sane-1.0.3' will be created and the source files will be extracted. 2. Change the current working directory: cd sane-1.0.3 3. Apply the patch file. Let's assume the patch file is in the parent directory: gzip -dc ../sane-1.0.3-hp4200-0.2-p1.patch.gz | patch -p1 4. If you get the following text patching file `backend/Makefile.in' patching file `backend/dll.conf' patching file `backend/hp4200.c' patching file `backend/hp4200.conf' patching file `backend/hp4200.desc' patching file `backend/hp4200.h' patching file `backend/lm983x.c' patching file `backend/lm983x.h' patching file `backend/pv8630.c' patching file `backend/pv8630.h' patching file `tools/hp4200offd.c' all was right, and you can now start the ordinary SANE installation. This is the result of following the instructions ------------------------------------------------ [root@eddie sane]# gzip -dc backend-0.4.tar.gz | tar xvf - backend/ backend/hp4200.c backend/hp4200.conf backend/hp4200.desc backend/hp4200.h backend/hp4200offd.c backend/lm9830.c backend/lm9830.h [root@eddie sane]# ls backend backend-0.4.tar.gz sane4200 sane-backends-1.0.10-hp4200-0.4.patch.gz [root@eddie sane]# cd backend [root@eddie backend]# ls hp4200.c hp4200.conf hp4200.desc hp4200.h hp4200offd.c lm9830.c lm9830.h [root@eddie backend]# gzip -dc ../sane-backends-1.0.10-hp4200-0.4.patch.gz | pat ch -p1 can't find file to patch at input line 4 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |diff -Naur sane-backends-1.0.10/backend/Makefile.in sane-backends-1.0.10-hp4200 /backend/Makefile.in |--- sane-backends-1.0.10/backend/Makefile.in Mon Jan 13 21:38:09 2003 |+++ sane-backends-1.0.10-hp4200/backend/Makefile.in Sat Feb 22 19:29:28 2003 -------------------------- File to patch: This is as far as I got to.

Disabling graphical boot
by nejaa＠racc2000.com 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

Greetings, I am in the process of configuring a Fedora sever and would like to disable the new graphical boot feature in Core 1. Ideally, I'd like the machine to boot just like any other distro I've ever used: to the terminal login. Then I could login and start X if I wanted/needed to. Is that possible in Fedora? Could anyone give me a few pointers? Thanks, Nejaa

problem in host and splash screen
by Rafa Quintanilla 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

Hi all, I get the following message when I log in (I'm translating it to English): "I could not search the Internet address x1-6-00-c0-df-63-25. This will make GNOME not to work properly. It could be possible to correct by adding x1-6-00-c0-df-63-25 to file etc/hosts" I must say that x1-6-00-c0-df-63-25 is the name of my computer (found thru DHCP). I added thid to /etc/hosts, but to no avail. How can I change this and put e.g. Duron1300? And, how can I avoid this annoying message? One more thing: resolution in the splash screen is very low: I can hardly read "name" or "password". How can make it bigger? Afterwards when I'm logged in, resolution is OK at 800x600. TIA, Rafa _______________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Sorteos ¡Ya puedes comprar Lotería de Navidad! http://yahoo.ventura24.es/

Right after I install shockwave flash I restart my machine (out of habit). but to my suprise the gamma or brightness or contrast settings for X are all messed up. its like looking at a huge white screen. it first starts the problem when the machine is in the boot up process (the screen with the computer and the progress bar). these are the files I installed: compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.118 flash-plugin-6.0.79-1.i386 thanks for the help in advance -william -- ,.~'`'~.,.~'`'~.,.~'`'~.,.~'`'~., "Captain, life is not a dream." -Spock

bug in network configuration
by Matt Wette 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

I have a Gateway M500 notebook which has internal ethernet and wireless connections. When I installed FC1 the hardwire port was named eth0 and the wireless port named eth1. To start I configured eth0 on and eth1 off at boot. BUG: If I use the redhat-config-network tool and, under the Devices tab, click no-profile for eth0 and profile for eth1 I find that the Hardware tab shows eth0 and eth1 switched. There is an inconsistency here. I'd like to be able to get my machine up w/o networking and have (eventually) a button that I can click to get the wireless working. [I would like to live w/o the hardwire ethernet. I can't see to get my notebook set up this way.]

Scanner and Fedora Core 1
by Bengt Lindholm 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

Is there somebody with a working scsi-scanner? My Umax PL-II worked fine with RedHat 9 out of the box. Then I installed Fedora from scratch and even as root the "sane-find-scanner" does not find anythig. Fedora knows, that the sacnner is there (scanner -> sg1). I uninstalled the old sane-backends, got the latest from sane-project.org and configured it. The same result. Is it possible, that the scsi is somehow already in use and that is why the sane-find-scanner or xsane does not work? What to do? Bengt

I am trying to upgrade to the latest stable php, and I get the following message with rpm -Uvh php-4.3.4-1.1.i386.rpm (even if I try the --force tag). warning: php-4.3.4-1.1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 30c9ecf8 error: Failed dependencies: php = 4.3.3-6 is needed by (installed) php-imap-4.3.3-6 php = 4.3.3-6 is needed by (installed) php-ldap-4.3.3-6 php = 4.3.3-6 is needed by (installed) php-mysql-4.3.3-6 php = 4.3.3-6 is needed by (installed) php-odbc-4.3.3-6 php = 4.3.3-6 is needed by (installed) php-pgsql-4.3.3-6 php = 4.3.3-6 is needed by (installed) php-domxml-4.3.3-6 php = 4.3.3-6 is needed by (installed) php-snmp-4.3.3-6 php = 4.3.3-6 is needed by (installed) php-xmlrpc-4.3.3-6 I get a similar error if I try to erase (rpm -e) the old php file. What am I doing wrong?

Medion MD9570 graphics tablet (aka Aiptek)
by Bryan Anderson 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

Just rushed out to get one of these on special offer. USB graphics tablet with mouse and pen, pressure sensitive, etc. Works fine if I am booted into Windows, so I know the hardware is okay. On starting up FC1, I check the hardware browser in KDE and the tablet shows as an Aiptek tablet, so FC1 can 'see' it. On moving the mouse or the pen, the mouse pointer goes haywire and flies around the screen. I am sure it'll be something simple, but where do I start with this? I have seen a web page at: http://aiptektablet.sourceforge.net/ but I can't see any downloads and wouldn't know what to do with them if I had them! Bryan Anderson <fedora(a)bryananderson.co.uk> PS....this is my last bit of hardware not working in FC1. Shame really as I've been waiting for this to drop in price/come up on offer and it'd be a hige disapointment to find that I have to keep XP to boot into just to do my photo editing.

HP ScanJet 5100c
by William Penton 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

Howdy, I have a parallel port HP ScanJet 5100c. Fedora doesn't recognize it is even hooked up. Is there anyone that can help me figure out what to do to make this thing work? I appreciate it. -william -- ,.~'`'~.,.~'`'~.,.~'`'~.,.~'`'~., "Captain, life is not a dream." -Spock
