[Bug 1877080] [NEW] rmlint-gui a.k.a. Shreeder does not work in Ubuntu Focal Fossa 20.04

2020-05-06 Thread luca.mg
Public bug reported:

rmlint-gui (a.k.a. Shreeder) 2.9.0-2 on top of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal
Fossa runs but it appears to scan a given directory too quickly, without
scanning nor detecting subdirectories, and always reporting no
duplicates. Command line rmlint seems to be working as usual though.
This is the last gui driven dupe detection tool available in the Focal
Fossa Ubuntu 20.04 LTS repo, all of the others have gone being
deprecated, or depending on deprecated packages.

@ Chris Rainey: no such a thing in my system.

@ PeterPall: the scanner works properly now, it only didn't on the very
first time using it. Weird, isn't it?

2019-05-07 Thread luca.mg
@ PeterPall: regarding the Epson scanner, yes it could be the firmware
upload, the first root scan took time, I thought it was the scanner
warming up longer than usual and not catching up, but I allowed time and
it finally went through, so You may very well be right. I did not run
lsusb -v, just a plain lsub, but before the root scan the scanner was
detected as an epkowa driven unknown model, after the root scan it is
detected with the proper model name.

@ Chris Rainey: regarding the Brother MFP, I can confirm that I ran the
installer script and not the available deb packages.

Hi Peter, if the above is addressed to me, the Epson scanner works for regular 
users after the first scan as root, I do not get the reason why, but this is 
it. 
Thank You for stepping in.

Hi Michael, sudo is enough for driver installation, if You did not sudo
that is why install failed. Root is the real system administrator, not

Hi again, Epson Perfection 4490 Photo, new Ubuntu Mate 19.04 install,
iscan-bundle-1.0.0.x64.deb.tar.gz driver, make sure to add the line
'epkowa'to the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf file first; xsane gave a 'Access to
resource has been denied' message as a regular user, same with 'sudo
xsane' from a terminal, what I did is:

1) from a terminal enter 'sudo passwd root' and create a password for the root 
user, when done  
2) enter 'su root' and provide the newly created password, when root 
3) run 'xsane' despite the warnings AND scan a page (a previous attempt without 
scanning didn't work), after that, believe it or not, the scanner works, I do 
not really understand why and how, but this is it, though YMMV.

Hi all, Brother MFC-1910W, new Ubuntu Mate 19.04 install, Brother
drivers from
https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadend.aspx?c=as_ot=en=mfc1910w_eu_as=128=dlf006893_000=4=625=true
at first the scanner was not detected, my previous workaround involving
libsane-extras is not an option anymore, since the package has been
pulled out. What I did is:

1) created the file /etc/udev/hwdb.d/brother4.hwdb with the lines 
usb:v04F9p035D*
 libsane_matched=yes

2) created the file /etc/sane.d/dll.d/brother4 with the line 
brother4 

the scanner works with no further tinkering, creating symlinks and the like.

Hi James, glad it worked!

Hi all, on Ubuntu 18.04, with a multifunction HP printer/scanner I could
only run the scanner as root; it was not my system and the relevant
files were already /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane, don't know if they
were there by default or if the owner of the system put them in place.
Anyhow, I applied my workaround in post #73 and 74, changing file names
and vendor ID/product ID according to the HP driver, and the scanner can
now be run as a user. Hope this can be of help to anyone struggling with
HP devices.

After a bunch of Bionic updates the Brother MFC 1910W scanner gave up
working; I have had to install the libsane-extras package and add the

control of the device. Weird enough the Epson scanner wasn't affected by
the updates.

Double checked, brscan4 symlinks required! To sum it up: 
a) install libsane-extras
b) install brscan4
c) 'sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother* 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane'
d) execute 'lsusb' to get VendorId (04f9) and ProductID
e) create '/etc/udev/hwdb.d/brother4.hwdb'
content:
usb:v04f9p* (p is product ID from lsusb, Example: usb:v04f9p035d, 04f9 
is vendor ID, and 035d is product ID for Brother MFC-1910W")
libsane_matched=yes
f) edit '/etc/sane.d/dll.d/libsane-extras'
add 'brother4'
g) please take my apologies for rushing out the scoop. (and may the sane 
forgive me!)

Hi Staedtler, I didn't refresh the page before posting, so I didn't see Your 
post #76. Believe it or not the congrats go to You, I would have never done it 
without brainstorming with You, and Your posts #71 and 72 have been 
elightening. Regarding the /etc/sane.d/dll.d/libsane-extras file, I assume that 
to be in place the libsane-extras package has to be installed. I was so excited 
I forgot to double check if some symlink is needed between /usr/lib/sane and 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and the like. I'll report back if required, for the 
benefit of the summary. If I do not pop in it means that no other step is to be 
taken, but I'm here if anybody needs help or clarifications.

Hi Staedtler, bingo it is. I did try what You suggest, no joy, but the
information that You collected (and that I couldn't even imagine of),
have put me on the right track. Here's what works for me:

1) I created a /etc/udev/hwdb.d/brother4.hwdb file with the lines

usb:v04F9p035D*
 libsane_matched=yes

where the file is named after the backend, v049f is vendor ID, and p035d
is product ID; those may very well change for other scanners :-)

2) edited the file /etc/sane.d/dll.d/libsane-extras and added the line

brother4

this may very well change for other backends :-))

no need for the brother-udev-rule-type1 package, nor for Your clever
hack, which has been a good catch anyway. I did not investigate on
permissions, but I may! HTH with other scanners too. Thanks for engaging
into this all. Regards, Luca

Hi Staedtler, attached is the diff file, it's beyond my understanding
:-) even more since scanimage -L does not detect the scanner even as
root, although the scanner itself works running xsane from a root
terminal.

My bad: the 'ENV' line is on by default, not the 'SYMLINK', my
apologies. Following is the content of the 60-brother-mfp-type1.rules
installed by the brother-udev-rule-type1 package. Uncommenting the
options at the bottom doesn't make any difference: the scanner only
works with xsane as true root.

Hi Staedtler, did that, and fought with several rules files before to no
joy. What You suggest is pretty much the same as what the brother-udev-
rule-type1 package does with a 60 sane something rules file, except that
in the Brother installer script only the line 'SYMLINK' is active, the
rest of the lines are commented out, including permissions, eventually
preset for 0666; needless to say that I fiddled with all possible
combinations of settings and name/location of the file with no result.

The message is too big perhaps. I'll post again in small chuncks as soon as I 
have the chance.
In the meanwhile a 16.04 user reported the scanner failure, apparently due to a 
libsane1 update. 
See https://forum.ubuntu-it.org/viewtopic.php?f=9=624458 page two, this is 
what he gets with sane-find-scanner

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that

Hi staedtler-przyborski, I created the /etc/udev/rules.d/79-udev-
brother.rules file as suggested, no joy. I have written to Brother
support, asking if they're planning the release of drivers libsane1
compliant; I've had an automatic reply suggesting to install the non
working driver... hope I'll get a proper answer anytime soon, I fear
they won't support legacy hardware, but they should indeed support
recent products.

2017-11-05 Thread luca.mg
Yep, vuescan is the commercial software I was referring to in my
previous post, and yes, I tried the ugly workaround as soon as Hans
Schwimmbeck posted it, and it used to work, but it prevents from
updating too many packages due to a daisy chain of dependencies; I do
not even know if I could reinstall it now that it's been removed and the
system has been updated, but surely uninstalling it hasn't been easy. As
a matter of fact the developers should fix what they broke, or the
hardware manufacturer should rewrite the drivers against libsane1, which
is very unlikely, especially for old peripherals. Any other solution
requiring user action is a workaround, not a bug fix, but I'd be very
happy to take action to resurrect the Brother scanner, if I only knew
where to stick my hands!

Hi staedtler-przyborski, and thank You for taking the time to further
investigate the matter. Yes indeed, I did try to install the brother-
udev-rule-type1 package You kindly linked, also tinkering with the
various settings, and tested with a later release too, even if both
weren't needed in zesty, nor in xenial (I guess that the package was
required with earlier ubuntu releases), but it doesn't make any
difference: the scanner is found by sane-find-scanner, but is not
detected by scanimage -l, and it only works running xsane from the
terminal after the 'su root' command, while 'sudo xsane' won't work at
all. I'm quite sure that it's a permission issue, but I'm out of ideas
as to how to fix it, and using the scanner as root is not a feasible
option.

2017-11-04 Thread luca.mg
The Brother MFC-1910W printer-fax-scanner, brscan4 based, does not work
with the symlink trick, the scanner is detected by sane-find-scanner,
but is not listed by scanimage -l, and will only work after enabling the
root account and issuing the 'su root' and 'xsane' commands in a
terminal; a simple sudo xsane won't work. Although it seems to me a
permission issue, creating appropriate (to the best of my knowledge!)
udev rules files in the /etc/udev/rules.d directory and/or in
/lib/udev/rules.d directory has no positive outcome, nor editing the the
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane1.rules file; my attempts were using the
lines

## Brother MFC-1910W
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="035d", MODE="0666", 
GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" 

with several flavours of the MODE= option (0660 0666 0664 0777 and the like). 
Again: if only libsane1 will also look for sane backends in the "legacy" 
locations other than the new ones perhaps this insane mess would be sorted out.

/usr/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa* files into the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/sane directory by issuing the command 'sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib/sane
/libsane-epkowa* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane' as said above; no need
to tinker with the udev rules files in my case. This doesn't look like a
bug fix to me, it's a workaround, needing a user tweak, libsane1 should
look for third party sane drivers (once called backends IIRC) in the
"legacy" directories as well as in the new ones, for backward
compatibility.

2017-10-25 Thread luca.mg
Still on the ugly workaround, while the Epson 4490 scanner keeps
working, I further tested with my Brother MFC 1910W printer/scanner,
which used to work on zesty. Xsane doesn't see the scanner, it only
works as root, that isn't even running sudo xsane, but taking the risk
to assign a password to root and running the terminal, su root, giving
the newly created password and issuing the xsane command. This is no
matter what: I tried to add the relevant lines to the
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules file, adding the user to the saned
and the scanner groups, thinkering with the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf file,
and everything I could possibly think of. Printing works as usual.

2017-10-24 Thread luca.mg
The ugly workaround from Hans Schwimmbeck works for me with the Epson
4490 scanner (iscan gtx 750 bundle). During install I was required to
allow the uninstall of the colord package, which I did, reinstalling it
soon after; strangely the removal of colord didn't remove gnome related
stuff as experienced in previous attempts to play with the zesty libsane
(?!?!?). Other than issuing the hold command in the terminal I've also
had to pin the relevant packages within synaptic, or else the software
updater would try to upgrade libsane to libsane1 (?!?!? again). This so
called ugly workaround is the most elegant solution available at the
moment IMHO, thank You for sharing Hans; my workaround (post #16) was
preventing the upgrade of many packages, while this supposedly ugly fix
doesn't.

Installed libsane1 1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2 and the Epson driver
doesn't complain about the unmet dependancies anymore, it won't properly
install however, resulting in a broken package, impossible to fix, only
option is to remove it. This is not a bug IMHO, renaming the package is
"operator error", and an insane decision. Wouldn't it be easier to just
stick to the working naming instead of messing around with iffy tricks

2017-09-27 Thread luca.mg
Hi all, as a workaround on ubuntu artful I got rolled back to libsane 
libsane-common from zesty, that is 1.0.25+git20150528-1ubuntu4, and xsane 
xsane-common 0999.3ubuntu2, locked to those releases; my Epson Perfection 4490 
scanner (third party epkowa backend) would only run as root; added the lines 
# Epson Perfection 4490
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0119", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" 
to the file /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules right after the line 
LABEL="libsane_usb_rules_begin" 
and the scanner is now working as it always did. 
Would be great if this libsane1 thing would be fixed though.

[Bug 134660] Re: Ralink rt2400 / rt2500 / rt2570 / rt61 / rt73 do not work out of the box in Gutsy/Hardy

2008-04-19 Thread luca.mg
After a few days of testing I want to tell to all of us struggling with
a hardy kernel on top of gutsy that the best way to go is to install
hardy: everything works much better in hardy than in gutsy with updated
kernel, wicd a must AFAICT. I also have to say that things are working
better than before but we're not there yet: the hardware dies after a
few hours online, while it used to die after a bunch of minutes before;
this is an improvement but things are not working as they should and
some more work has to be done. This is in regard of the rt73 dongle,
still no luck with the rt2570 as of today.

Regarding the linux-backports-modules-hardy package: I installed this
too but did not notice any benefit, how do I make sure the kernel is
loading the backport modules instead of the default ones? Going to the
/lib/modules directory shows that both modules are installed in
different locations and I really do not know how to verify which
generation of module is being loaded. A nice weekend to everybody, luca

Sorry to verify that the rt2570 dongle above mentioned does not work
period. Regarding the rt73 dongle: upon restart both network manager
and/or manual configuration ask for wpa password while the network is
configured for wpa2, I switched to wicd and it works much better now: it
retains the correct password for the proper wpa2 configuration,
moreover, no need to enter the keyring manager password too; as the rt73
stick is working I'll quit thinkering with it, while I'm going to test
the rt2570 stick with the linux-backports-modules. ciao again luca

More on the previous post: I booted hardy and did not bother to try

now confirm that the rt73 stick works (it's on right now) while the
rt2570 does not (still talking of wep as wpa has never been an option

now connects via network manager even if the connection itself is very
bad and unfit for normal use; I'll try to set up a wpa network and doing

2008-02-05 Thread luca.mg
hi there, running gutsy with a 2.6.24-5 hardy kernel, tested with both a
rt2570 and a rt73 usb sticks with no positive outcome: both cards go off
(no blinking led, no connection) after a bunch of minutes online, the
only way to restore a connection is to restart the computer as simply
disconnecting-reinserting the stick and/or restarting the network
service does not do the trick; moreover, the serialmonkey modules would
not compile, even after installing the hardy's build essential and libc
etc. I've decided not to test 2.6.24-8 as I've read the post from
NoWhereMan, and I'm here in nowhereland waiting for a new kernel update,
in the meanwhile I'm back to gutsy's 2.6.22 kernel with serialmonkey's
modules (which is not exactly working well either). These cards work
quite well with both winxp sp2 and osx 10.4.9.

I do agree with ^that^, this is the same that's happening to me

I have posted my log files on the other bug report.

regarding Your dmesg:

[ 218.108000] ieee80211_init: failed to initialize WME (err=-17)
[ 218.12] iwlwifi_rc80211_simple: Unknown symbol

[ 218.12] iwlwifi_rc80211_simple: Unknown symbol

You get the error 17 too

Also, here is lsusb and lspci. The Asus adapter si the one on usb (Bus
004 Device 002: ID 174f:a311)

this is a device id that I do not know of, perhaps a very recent stick? Anyhow 
all those different
flavours of Asus sticks seem to share the same code, and hidden somewhere there 
must a typo!

[Bug 144448] Re: rt2500usb module not working with asus wl-167g wifi stick

2007-10-11 Thread luca.mg
Thank You for taking the time to deal with this.

Yes. But rt2x00 is a driver for several chips. So if rt2x00 is update,
it may help you too.

I'm sorry it does not help; I also took a test with the latest 2.6.22-14 kernel 
with no success, the only thing I spotted is from dmesg: 

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dmesg |grep ieee802
[   43.096306] ieee80211_init: failed to initialize WME (err=-17)
[   43.112825] iwlwifi_rc80211_simple: Unknown symbol 
iwlwifi_ieee80211_rate_control_unregister
[   43.112962] iwlwifi_rc80211_simple: Unknown symbol 
iwlwifi_ieee80211_rate_control_register

According to your ifconfig and iwconfig output, your wireless interface
got an ip (192.168.1.13), and is connected to an AccessPoint. So what
about the dhcp server ? Can you ping your router (may be 192.168.1.1) ?

the card has an ip because it is configured for static ip, it can only
ping itself

Driver include in Ubuntu isn't rt2570 one, it's the new rt2x00 that will
be release with future kernel.

yes indeed but downloading-compiling-loading the rt2570 module 
(blacklisting the rt2x00) gives me a working network. 

Thank You for Your attention

here it is; thank You for pointing me to

 Hi,
 
 According to $ modinfo rt2500usb | grep -i v0b05p1706
 The module should be loaded with your device.
 
 Is your device using rt73 with cvs version ?
 What are the loaded module ($ lsmod | grep rt) with cvs version ?
 

I'm not at the box now, anyhow: yes the rt2500usb module is loaded, 
wlan0 is there, but the thing does not work (signal strenght stays at 
zero as stated) and no it's not an rt73; the cvs is the old rt2570 from 
serialmonkey, several versions downloaded recently at different times. 
For Your information the rt2500usb module from both fedora 7 and suse 
10.3 rc1 works very well with this device (fedora works better as suse 
goes off randomly). Please feel free to contact me again if You need 
additional info.

2007-09-25 Thread luca.mg
I came across the same misbeheaviour on a desktop with an nvidia 6600
card: after changing resolution I have to run Synaptic and reinstall the
nvidia-glx package, after this voodoo like procedure the resolution
stays as set even after log out.

[Bug 144448] rt2500usb module not working with asus wl-167g wifi stick

2007-09-24 Thread luca.mg
Public bug reported:

Stick details as from lsusb: Bus 005 Device 004: ID 0b05:1706 ASUSTek
Computer, Inc., this thing used to work out of the box in feisty. It
does not work in gutsy with kernel 2.6.22-12-generic i686 (and
previous): card is detected but signal strenght stays at zero and no way
it will connect to the network either with manual configuration
(network-admin applet) and or NetworkManager; tested also with wicd
1.3.1 with no success. As a workaround I blacklisted rt2500usb,
rt2x00usb, rt2x00lib and downloaded-compiled-loaded the cvs version of
the rt2570 module from serialmonkey (the v1.1.0-b2 release would not
compile), now everything works and the network applet is showing WPA-
WPA2 as available (I'm using wep as this was the only choice with
feisty); I also have to report that as of  rt2570-cvs-2007092201 the
stick works on a multiprocessor  Athlon MP box too.

Thank You for Your attention

Ben, thank You for Your attention. Of course there's a typo in my last
post: 2.6.2.-rc6 should read 2.6.20-rc6, moreover I'm running
2.6.20-8-generic i686 at the moment and it is fine so far.

2007-02-11 Thread luca.mg
With the feisty 2.6.2.-rc6 kernel sata via is back to normal! However I
downloaded the stable 2.6.20 kernel and compiled it with the feisty
2.6.20-rc6 config file and the resulting kernel would go past the sata
via initialization but will stop at the raid initialization stage.
Compiled again with no raid support results in a fully booting kernel.
