Subject: xsane-0.993 backport for Etch?

Message-ID: <475C3B9D.2050902@bredband.net>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit


I have installed Etch on a laptop being used as a SSH server and
printer/scanner server but I need xsane 0.993 to be able to use my Canon
Pixma MP450 multifunction printer and Etch comes with 0.991.



Does anyone know if there is a DEB for a later version of Xsane out
there on the net?  Yes I have looked and doesn't seem to be in Etch
backports either, but maybe someone else knows of a personal repository
out there that has this.



Otherwise, if i download the source I can build it myself, but would
prefer not to... Aren't there loads of dependencies for Sane?


Do you need help?X

	What?  I've moved many gigabytes through
	  tar cf - stuff | ssh remotebox tar xf -
	If there were a problem with tilde dot in the stream I would 
	have seen it by now.  Let's try an experiment with
	Debian boxes truffula (local) and oobleck (remote).

truffula$ cat | ssh oobleck "cat > foo.bar"
this is a line
~.
this is another line
<control-D>
You have new mail in /home/cls/.mbox
truffula$
truffula$ ssh oobleck grep -n "''" foo.bar
1:this is a line
2:~.
3:this is another line
You have new mail in /home/cls/.mbox
truffula$

	Well that seems to have worked.  (grep -n '' is a trick
	for numbering the lines of a text file.)

truffula$ ssh oobleck

Linux oobleck.example.org 2.6.18-5-686 #1 SMP Sun Aug 12 21:57:02 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

No mail.
Last login: Sat Nov 24 19:01:19 2007 from 192.168.1.221
oobleck$ pwd
/a8/home/cls
oobleck$ <tilde><dot>Connection to oobleck closed.
truffula$

	That shows tilde dot works as advertised when you're
	talking into a default shell.  Wnat if you call a login
	shell like any other command?

truffula$ ssh oobleck bash -l -i
cls@oobleck:/a8/home/cls$ uname -n
oobleck.example.org
cls@oobleck:/a8/home/cls$ ~.
bash: line 2: ~.: command not found
cls@oobleck:/a8/home/cls$ exit
You have new mail in /home/cls/.mbox
truffula$

	So "ssh host" cares about ~. but "ssh host command" doesn't.
	No wonder I've been getting away with tar | ssh tar.
	The "-e none" is not necessary.

Welcome to the brave new world of udev.
Device names in /dev are no longer stable.  They get created
on the fly as needed, and they don't always get created
in the same order from one boot to the next.
There's a persistence mechanism but you can't rely
on it yet.

In your case, the debian-installer kernel saw that drive
as hde, but the real kernel sees it as, perhaps, hda.
If you do a kernel update, it might be hde again.
Or if you replace a burned out motherboard.
I've had the installers in Debian-4.0r1 and
Ubuntu-7.10 fail because of this problem.
If you don't know what's going on, it's a show-stopper.

In the case of drives with file systems on them, the best
workaround is to add a volume label to each file system.
Then refer to them by volume label in /etc/fstab
and /boot/grub/menu.lst, not by device name.  When you
call mount, the kernel will search every disk it can find
looking for the matching file system.
Give your swap partition a volume label, too.

This problem afflicts network interfaces, too.  They don't
have volume labels, but they have MAC addresses.
If you only have one Ethernet interface it doesn't matter,
but on a router you should tie the interface names to
MAC addresses.  I created a file
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules containing
these lines
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:30:05:5e:8f:0d", NAME="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:e0:29:6a:d7:63", NAME="eth1"
The double equals are tests for matching.  Commas
between tests are logical "and" operators.  A single
equals is an assignment.

If you replace an Ethernet card, remember to add another
line for the new MAC address.
For other devices, look in the /sys directory for the
device and then use udevinfo -a -p to discover its
usable attributes.

I tried to force the kernel to see devices in the same
order every time by listing their drivers in /etc/modules.
It's not worth it.  Use udev/rules.d.  See
http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html and
the remarkably unhelpful
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-FAQ
You might also get some clues from how they handle it
in Gentoo.

Hal, You may find some useful help on this fios forum:
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/vzfiber

I've found their rcn forum helpful; for example, rcn also has a
no-server clause, but ssh seems to be ok, at least for me and others.
The ISPs are really worried about web and ftp hosting, imo.

Good luck
Ralph

John,

This reply was posted on the Mondo Devel list. Sorry that you missed seeing=

it. I hope it helps you.
=20
I had a similar problem. I created a Mondo DVD (from Debian Etch =A0
stable) and received the same "copy to floppies" message when =A0
attempting to boot. I solved the problem by creating a new Mondo ISO =A0
image *while a CD was mounted*. With a CD mounted, the modules needed =A0
to support the CD drive will be included in the ISO. After the ISO is =A0
created, unmount the CD and use a blank CD/DVD to burn the ISO image. =A0
There are instructions for using the "cdrecord" command in the Mondo =A0
how-to.

http://www.mondorescue.org/docs/mondorescue-howto.html

Judging from a search of the Mondo mailing list archive, this seems =A0
to be a common error message. I believe there have been other causes =A0
for it. I am definitely not a Mondo expert.

I use fetchyahoo to read yahoo mail in icedove (thunderbird) on etch.

$ apt-cache show fetchyahoo icedove

However, for Etch, you will need to manually update fetchyahoo to the
current version 2.11.2 from http://fetchyahoo.sourceforge.net for useful
results.  Just untar the tarball, then as root, move the executable
fetchyahoo to /usr/bin and you're done.

On icedove or thunderbird, File -> New -> Account -> Unix Mailspool
(Movemail).

This has worked great for me for years.  Have fun!

Hi debian-users,
my ISP is verizon which uses yahoo.com for sending email. Recently my
email from my .verizon.net account is not being shown on any
.debian.org list. From what I understand debian.org does not want to
receive any of my email because my mail is sent through yahoo.com
which rfc-ignorant.org has listed as a spammer. I don't think there is
anything I can do to stop yahoo from being a spammer.  So can I get
Debian to stop using the service of rfc-ignorant.org (I assume not)?
Would the debian-whitelist fix this? Any suggestions?
Kev
ps . I can only use my gmail account to respond to any questions until
this is fixed or email you directly.

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to become a new debian user, and am still kinda fuzzy on
where the best place to go for FAQs and help are, so bear with me...

I'm trying to set up my laptop with debian on an encrypted / partition
(and I'll have encrypted swap, too).  I would like the encryption key
to be stored on an encrypted USB drive that can boot enough of the
system to run debian.  So I want to need 2 things to boot:  the USB
stick (which will be bootable and take control from the OS) and a
passphrase to unencrypt the USB drive.

I had found a FAQ on how to do this a long time ago, but my desktop
died, so I lost the link.  Searching recently, I found what seemed to be
an appropriate link to it (using google) on http://debianhelp.org/, but that
website seemed to be down, so I'm not sure where to go.

In the meantime, of course, the cat ate my power cable (again), so my
laptop is currently DOA and I lost my 1st attempt to post this, but once
I get a replacement adapter, I'd like to get debian up and running!

Does anyone know of a mirror to debianhelp.org, or what happened to it?

Is there a different FAQ I should be using?

Thanks all, and I hope to soon join you in debian-land.

--Peter

Did you try booting that CD/DVD with a 'noapic' parameter? I have to use 
that and I never use 'nuke' but always 'interactive'.

Yeah, that too.  :)

I've disabled both wpa-ifupdown and dbus and still get two dbus processes=

running after a boot.

Perhaps there's a different problem?  I use dsn.rfc-ignorant.org on
my mail server and seem to have no problem getting yahoo mail.

This probably should have gone to debian-laptop, rather than
debian-user.  However...

I have the following as /etc/acpi/sleep_button:
event=button/sleep
action=/etc/acpi/sleep.sh

The sleep.sh script is then:
---[ begin sleep.sh ]---
#!/bin/sh

# if launched through a lid event and lid is open, do nothing
echo "$1" | grep "button/lid" && grep -q open
/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state && exit 0

# remove USB 1.1 driver
rmmod uhci_hcd

# sync filesystem and clock
sync
/sbin/hwclock --systohc

# switch to console
FGCONSOLE=`fgconsole`
chvt 6
#/usr/sbin/radeontool light off

# go to sleep
sleep 5 && echo -n "mem" > /sys/power/state

# readjust the clock (it might be off a bit after suspend)
/sbin/hwclock --adjust
/sbin/hwclock --hctosys

# reload USB 1.1 driver
modprobe uhci_hcd

# turn on the backlight and switch back to X
#radeontool light on
chvt $FGCONSOLE

# get alsa to actually play sound again -- very hackish
/usr/bin/amixer set Master toggle; /usr/bin/amixer set Master toggle
/usr/bin/amixer set PCM toggle; /usr/bin/amixer set PCM toggle
---[ end sleep.sh ]---

I cribbed this from somewhere (I can't recall where), with the amixer
tweaks at the end because my sound appears to always be disabled when
the laptop wakes up.  It's not toggled to the "off" setting, though,
which is why I toggle Master and PCM twice each.
