mounting linux partitions
I have installed a linux distro on a partition of my machine (latest Mandriva i686, default installation). I only need it to use a piece of software for Nikon Coolscan IV film scanner (yes, sane works, but a cheap commercial package called vuescan has better interface and uses some hardware features like infrared channel that sane does not support, at least in current stable version). Now I would like to mount ext3 partition from FreeBSD at least for reading, or vice versa, UFS2 from linux for writing. With kernel option EXT2FS, I can $ mount -t etx2fs /dev/ad12s7 /linux but then if I do $ ls /linux I get a 'Bad file descriptor' for directory /linux. e2fsprogs are installed, and fsck.ext2 or fsck.ext3 think well of the partition. Also, df seems to show it correctly, with size and free space. I have FreeBSD 7.0 for amd64, Linux is 32-bit version. Also the partition is 'extended', i.e. fdisk on FreeBSD shows a DOS partition, but linux's fdisk shows a couple of ext3 partitions. However, /dev/ad12s7 does correspond to the correct linux partition and, when mounted, df shows the right size and utilization. Any advice how to share a partition between these 2 systems? I only want to use linux to scan the film and store the pictures on disk, then boot into FreeBSD where I spend most of my life as a user. I feel more comfortable pulling from FreeBSD rather than pushing to it because (1) it is easier for me to recompile FreeBSD kernel or install packages if necessary, and (2) I would mind much less a corruption on the linux partition than on UFS; I can simply reinstall the default installation for Linux, but FreeBSD has important data and is finely tuned for me over the years. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: hplip setup problems
Since this problem is most probably not FreeBSD-specific, I filed a bug (209721) with hplip: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/209721. The patch is attached there too. So my ordeal with this issue is finally closed. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: hplip setup problems
Yes, of course sleep() works. But I am looking for the *proper* way to fix it. My questions at this point are: 1. Does USB standard permit these sequential requests, or there should be some reset/synch mechanism utilized in between? I could also usb_close() and reopen the device, but is there a softer reset than that? Is the bug really in hplip, or libusb, or sys/dev/usb? 2. If the driver, libusb and hplip are acting properly, then perhaps the race condition is inside the device? i.e. it should be ready to accept the second control msg after the 1st one returned, but for some reason is not really ready. So then it is the printer that violates the protocol, and there is nothing to do on our side but sleep(). Or usb_close(), and reopen, hopefully that will bring the Photosmart to its senses. I am posting this to freebsd-usb as well, people there are probably better equipped to answer this.

My first hunch would be to blame on ugen driver of BSD but look at this lines from hp-check that I copied from you message. You are missing slue of REQUIRED libraries. Well, hp-check seems broken, so I wouldn't take it all that seriously. It probably only works on linux. How can it complain of missing libusb and then proceed to use it? hplip finds the device correctly, and gets the vendor/product id. The immediate show stopper is failure to get serial number of the device. Or is it? it seems to be the only place where a libusb call fails. I am not sure if it is HP's fault or an hplip/io/hpmud problem, though. Are you running CUPS development version. I am running on a standard cups from ports. It was installed as requirement by KDE or something. Besides, there seems to be no problem with cups itself. You are not supposed to do that. You can try to install each of the missing libraries by hand and then try hp-setup. Something is very WRONG with your installation. Even better. If you have a spare machine to for testing. Try one more time to install things. Install firstly CUPS and SANE-backends and then install HPLIP (nothing else). If you see the same output from hp-check try installing missing libraries by hand. If after all everything works I would reports HPLIP port as broken as the required libraries should be installed as dependencies. On the positive side SANE seems see the scanner. Can you scan? Didn't even try to scan yet. It doesn't matter at this point. I have another (film) scanner that works, though. hplip printer driver seems to see the printer too, seeing is clearly not the problem.

What is a good printer/all-in-one?
My 10-year-old deskjet being out of ink and probably not worth a replacement cartridge (it works, but makes some mechanical noise lately), I am considering a reasonable replacement, preferably with scanning/copy possibilities. I tried to get Photosmart C4280, but while I was trying a faulty printcap on it, it lost its mind permanently (says 'incompatible print cartridges', and does not respond to the button combinations that HP support thinks should reset it). Besides, you can either attach it as ulpt or uscanner device, or play with hplip drivers as a generic device, but it seems too confusing. It was a waste of time and money for me and I am going to return it. Requirements: 1. Reasonable physical size (should not be much larger than the old deskjet). 2. Either network/lpd or USB, scanner should be well supported by sane. If used via USB, it should be a compound device (i.e. printer, scanner and, if there, the umass device should appear as separate devices to avoid kld-loading and unloading modules). I heard Epsons show up as compound devices? any HP laserjets? 3. Reasonable maintenance cost (maybe a laser printer, I do not care for color printing that much). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: What is a good printer/all-in-one?
Yes, I saw that. But FreeBSD is not linux, and using multiple drivers for the same device is more of a problem for us. HPLIP, on the other hand, requires bare ugen, not loading ulpt or uscanner or perhaps even umass, a very unnatural and cumbersome thing for me (I want umass, and I also sometimes use a Nikon photo film scanner, which work via sane). Thus I am looking for a network device, or if USB, then it should appear as separate uscanner/ulpt/umass.

Re: Xorg ATi/Radeon drivers on 7.0-STABLE?
If you haven't done that yet, try recompiling xorg-server without HAL (make config and check it off). I don't know why, but strange things like these happened to me too until HAL support was disabled.

I've seen only a few posts dealing w/ ATi drivers (ati and radeon) on v7.0-STABLE and Xorg, and together with my own experience I'm inclined to suspect there's something wrong with this combo. Or wrong... it may need special attention, but I lack the knowledge to prove or find a definitive answer, and you ppl here might. For a while I've been running 6.2-STABLE w/ Xorg on a Dell Latitude C610. Worked nicely @ 1400x1050, no problems. A few days ago I've performed a fresh install of 7.0-STABLE. The install was done for User/X-User, nothing (cvs, ports, etc) has been added or modified apart from network settings to be able to ssh/scp. The problem: there's no way that I can get a decent graphics resolution like I was used to. The only one xorg.conf setting that resulted in stable graphics was 'Driver vga' and 'Mode 640x480'. For the last 2 days (with the help of numerous Ati and Xorg-related posts on the net and c/p from my old xorg.conf) I've been trying to apply any reasonable setting using the ati and radeon drivers, only to see a blurred screen: HorizSync and/or VertSync way off, flickering and scrolling bars. No visible diff in the blurr w/ modified sync numbers, but no hang-ups as others seem to have stumbled upon: I can always kill the server w/ C-A-BS. Sometimes something seemed to happen (KDE starting? I never waited long before I killed the server...) as I did see a partial light-colored change in the blurr. Comparing the log of my old setup (I've put the image back twice over to check), there's a few -in my little experience- important differences with output of drivers and modules, or at least the way things such as capacities and capabilities are displayed, so under the hood there's so much changes that I cannot reasonably grasp what exactly is different and in what way... for which I apologize, but I'm bold enough to suspect.. So: is the problem with me or with the new ... (drivers, modules, ???) It looks like an ati driver issue. I suggest you to first, try the latest git tree driver by doing the following: git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati cd xf86-video-ati ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local --mandir=/usr/local/man make Then deinstall the xf86-video-ati from the ports tree: pkg_deinstall xf86-video-ati-6.8.0_1 and install the one from the git tree: make install If you see the same issues with the driver from the git tree, you should report it to the xorg mailing list at: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg -- Aline de Freitas - Chave pública: ID DE632016 / keys.indymedia.org gpg --keyserver keys.indymedia.org --recv-keys DE632016 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do you have correct permissions on device nodes? I think so, see the lsdevs output at the link provided. The permissions are even more liberal; I'll change them back when the problem is fixed. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Scanners, emulators and VueScan
Problem: I have a film scanner whose sane support is somewhat incomplete. There is a commercial piece of software called VueScan, which reportedly can do what I need. It can be had as either a Windows or Linux binary. It does not use sane on Linux, but apparently implements its own set of drivers via libusb. Rather than install another OS and boot into it to do the scanning, I was wondering if I can make it work with any kind of emulation. If I do not load uscanner, my scanner will appear just as a ugen device. Can I then have the device passed through to VueScan and usable by it with: 1. Regular linux 32-bit binary emulation? 2. linux via qemu? 3. the Windows binary under wine? I use FreeBSD on amd64 (rather than i386). Does this present any additional complications? Presumably, all Windows or Linux binaries involved are 32-bit. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Scanners, emulators and VueScan
I did write to the author, but it seems from his previous email exchanges that he was not willing to release and maintain a FreeBSD version. Since he only wants to release binaries, there is a limit to how many platforms he can support. Although porting is probably trivial, maintaining a FreeBSD system is unlikely to be cost-effective in his view. And, for this type of software he would need FreeBSD installed on real hardware (rather than emulated), and test a range of devices with it.

Manufacturers like to make their disks look bigger by using 1000 instead of 1024 when scaling Kb to Gb so: 476 Gb * 1024 * 1024 = 499122176K bytes 500 Gb * 1000 * 1000 = 5K bytes which is near as dammit the same. --Alex *In ten years of FreeBSD I have seen the warning many times, and seen people asking about the warning many, many, many times. What I never remember seeing is any case where someone needed to do anything about that warning. That doesn't prove anything (my memory is of unknown reliability), but you have my word that it's not *that* bad :-) Thanks. I thought so about the size, just wondered whether there is anything wrong with the geometry warning. I don't remember encountering it before.

Me, I'm running amd64 because I can. :-) My desktop has a gig of RAM, and I seldom use more than half of that. Mind you, I'm using a simple window manager not a desktop environment with lots of bells whistles. I suspect binaries on i386 will be somewhat smaller. But amd64 has more registers which might give some speed advantages. I haven't tested it, but it might be nice to do a speed comparison between i386 and amd64 on identical hardware. I don't think the difference will matter for a common desktop though; the CPU of a desktop is mostly idling anyway.

Re: amd64 or i386 for desktop use?
Thanks everyone, based on the info I am returning the nvidia card and getting an R4xx instead (found an X850 for under $80 still sold; seems to be well enough supported). I still want to try amd64; other limitations do not bother me that much (I do not care for wine or win32 codecs). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I can downgrade to a nv 7xxx series card, which works better with the open driver. I do not mind loss of 3D support, but would need basic things like mplayer. So my questions are: 1. Should I get nvidia 7xxx or an ATI card? Which card is most likely to work reasonably well? No fancy features required, but may be appreciated later. 2.
