USB (permissions ?) problem on newly installed Bullseye : usb scanner wont communicate
Hi to Everyone, My old Debian Stretch having crashed after last update, I installed Bullseye. Most things operate OK after re-installing, except so far: 'gphoto2' and my Epson Scanner Perfection v500. I have re-installed the scanner using : epsonscan2_6.7.43.0-1_amd64.deb and epsonscan2_non-free-plugin_1.0.0.6-1.deb and the installed went Ok ; the scanner is reckognised and it appears on the list... But it does not operate ! Upon launching, it says: "impossible to communicate with the scanner... Verify if it is connected to usb port and powered on..." then appears a box showing : "EPSON EPSON scanner : USB:001:009", and I can't connect to it. Same thing with "gphoto2" once my camera is connected to usb port : $ gphoto2 --auto-detect => CANON EOS 600D usb: 001,015 OK, it is reckognized... but, now if I type: gphoto2 -L "Impossible to communicate with the USB peripherics..." Back to my scanner : # sane-find-scanner ...Could not fetch... Pipe error found USB scanner vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON] , PRODUCT=0x0130 [EPSON Scanner] at libusb:001:009 ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001/009 crw-rw-rw-+ root root Thanks in advance for your help
Need Help restoring a filesystem on an external drive WD 'My Book'
Hi to Everyone, My WD P/N : WD1H 1Q S/N : WCAU4D 164675 is about 4 or 5 years old. It is an external drive using external power supply. At start, I had formatted it in ext3, so that I 'd be able to storage videofiles larger than 2 Gb. Since then, I storaged a number of files in several directories, subdirectories etc.. I never had any problem until now. This drive no longer mounts. It does not mount automatically as it used to, and I don't know how to mount it manually. My other similar drives mount on /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sr0... depending on to which computer I mount it. In case it doesn't automatically mount, I just type : #mount /dev/sdb1 /media/bd/ext and it works but right now I don't know for sure the device name to mount. If I list my /dev directory using ls -lt, I can see what new device appears in the list whenever I plug my external drive. It shows 'sdb'. Not 'sdb1' as for other external drives, just 'sdb'. If now I type : # mount /dev/sdb /media/bd/ext this gets the external drive to react : the light goes up and down for awhile, and then I get this message : 'you must specify the filesystem' But, if I try : # mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb /media/bd/ext I get this : 'wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb…' same result if I try mounting on 'fat', 'msdos'… filesystems, but I doubt if there are any FAT or msdos space left on this device since I had reformated it to ext3. At last, I tried : # fsck /dev/sdb (the external drive starts to light, then : 'fsck ext2 : superblock invalid. Trying to backup blocks fsck ext2 : bad magic number in superblock while trying to open /dev/sdb Now, if I type : cat /proc/scsi/scsi I get this : scsi0 ATA MAXTOR STM scsi1 ATA MAXTOR STM scsi5 WD My Book Direct Access /etc/fstab does not show any sdb device How am I to get this drive back to operation, or, at least, to recuperate the datafiles that are stored in that WD external drive ? Thanks in advance to tell me what diagnosis and repair tools I could use Bernard
Re: Viewing contents of AR archive in KDE
Thanks for the suggestion, I just now installed libarchive-ar-perl, but Ark still cannot recognize AR archive :-( Strangely, it can open .DEB which is also a type of AR archive, but not "pure" AR archives themselves. -- Satish.BD On Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 15:59, Iuri Guilherme dos Santos Martins wrote: > Also check if you have the proper libraries > > My search returned this package: > > libarchive-ar-perl > Maintained by: Debian Perl Group > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject > of "unsubscribe".

Viewing contents of AR archive in KDE
Hi,
Like y'all know, AR archive is used for static libraries [ libxyz.a ].
When opening it with Ark (KDE 4.4.5, Squeeze), it pops with with error
"Unable to determine archive type". Instead it presents a list of all
archive formats which it recognizes, but this list does not include AR
archive.
I know that I can view/extract the archive using CLI ("ar t" and "ar
x") but would like to do it in GUI mode, with Ark. Note that, I'm not
interested in modifying the archive, just "view" it and "extract" it
to a temporary folder. It was working in KDE 3.5 (also with Gnome's
Fileroller). I also asked this question in Debian forums and IRC, but
no satisfactory answer.
Thanks & Regards,
-- Satish

Re: Squeeze-updates not working
Thanks Bob, Tom and Porcia ! Bob's "Bohr model of linux kernel" was an excellent one. I was just curious to know the nomenclature of that package & now i have an idea of what happens. I'm happy with current kernel because all my hardware is detected/working properly, so I find no reason to upgrade to 3.1.x.y. I must congratulate Debian team for making Squeeze -- I mean, it refuses to crash ! -- Satish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I hope > your disk hasn't failed. According to someone else's advice, I ran just : mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 and it worked right away. Since that partition /dev/sda1 and its mirror /dev/sdb1 are small (about 500 MB), the process was instant. After reboot, the changes remain, and I no longer have system messages. However, when shutting down, I always have a message saying that /dev/mapper/vg00-root could not be unmounted since it is in use... The message goes very quickly, and I don't know where I could find a log of this. In any case, the shutdown process keeps going and it goes like this each time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
