Documentation for colord-sane
I've been trying to get the nVidia drivers to work again on my desktop,
using F 17. Instead of using the binary blob directly, and having to do
it again and again every time the kernel updates, I've been trying this
guide: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=204752 which
worked fine with my old nVidia card.
Alas, every time I've tried, the system hangs, with this as the last two
lines on the screen:
[ 37.160831] usb 1-4: usbfs: interface 1 claimed by usblp while
'colord-sane' sets config #1
[ 42.792091] usb 1-4: usbfs: interface 1 claimed by usblp while
'colord-sane' sets config #1
After this, the computer just sits there with no disk activity. I can
use ^Alt-F2 to get to a different terminal and log in as root just fine.
Top shows that nothing is going on. If I use yum to remove the
drivers and reboot, it works, as does booting into an older kernel using
nouveau. Once that's done, /var/log/messages has another set of the
above lines, followed by this:
khorlia colord-sane[665]: (colord-sane:665): CdSane-WARNING **: failed
to create device:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists: device id
'sane-Canon PIXMA MX410' already exists
I've done quite a bit of searching and haven't been able to find any
documentation on the service. In fact, I've even looked up various bugs
at Bugzilla, and emailed the person one of them was assigned to, asking
for a pointer to the info I needed, but haven't had a reply after well
over 24 hours. (Not a complaint; people get busy.) If anybody can
point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it because, if nothing
else, I might be able to learn how to get the trouble-shooting info I
need. And, while I'm thinking about it, there are no AVC alerts, so
it's not related to SELinux.
