RE: [Wlug] /tmp

by Keller, Tim

Gregory, You'll want to do a "fuser -u /tmp/*" and see what files are currently in use. If it's currently not in use, it's probably safe to delete.

Andy, Thanks for the tips. I've tried everything you suggested, and still no joy. However, I think that a newer version of sane is in order. I'm still using the version from RH 8.0: > rpm -qa|fgrep sane sane-backends-1.0.8-5 sane-frontends-1.0.8-4 xsane-0.84-8 I have the Red Hat 9 CD's, and I'll upgrade as soon as possible to see what happens. Thanks, Bill

Howdy, I am looking for the zope rpm's, including the source rpm, from the SuSE 8.2 cd's. Would anyone have them? Thanks, Mike

I'm running sane-backends-1.0.9 and sane-frontends-1.0.9 which I built from source in /usr/local. I'm running xsane 0.90. There are more recent versions available. I'm using a 2.4.20 kernel, but it worked on my 2.4.19 and I think also on 2.4.18. You didn't mention your kernel rev, but I assume 2.4.x since Redhat 8.0 is a relatively recent vintage. > > 5. xsane always fails. Here are some of the messages. > > > xsane > > no devices available According to the xsane readme in the source tarball, the most common problem is having multiple copies of sane installed, and having them conflict in some way. You might try something like this "find / -name "*sane*" | less". Also, try this: rm -rf ~/.sane/xsane If all else fails, try running strace on xsane. It might shed some clues. Let me know how it goes. Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

scanner help

by Bill Mills-Curran

I have a new Epson 1660 scanner, and I'm having difficulty getting it working with the sane drivers. Here's what I have thus far... 1. lsusb worked immediately. Here's some of the output: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Virtual Hub Device Descriptor: <snip> Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04b8:011e Seiko Epson Corp. Device Descriptor: <snip> Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03f0:0317 Hewlett-Packard Device Descriptor: <snip> (I recently unloaded & loaded the USB & printer modules, and the device numbers for the printer (HP) and scanner (Epson) changed.) 2. sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor = 0x04b8, product = 0x011e) at device /dev/usb/scanner0 This did not work until I added this to the /etc/modules.conf file and modprobe'd "scanner": options scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x011e 3. My /etc/sane.d/epson.conf file has: usb /dev/usb/scanner0 (Is that right? I did try some other devices) I also tried usb 0x04b8 0x011e No luck 4. I chmod'd (666) /dev/usb/scanner*. 5. xsane always fails. Here are some of the messages. > xsane no devices available > xsane epson:/dev/usb/scanner0 Failed to open device 'epson:/dev/usb/scanner0': Operation not supported. Any suggestions? TIA, Bill P.S. I'm running stock Red Hat 8.0. (I have installed the ALSA sound modules.)

Re: [Wlug] A bit off topic - phpnuke et al.

by mhughes＠wpidalamar.com

There is some weirdness with GPL'ness of the project.. Lawmeme got dinged by phpnuke a while back... unfortunatly I can't seem to connect to them right now. here's an article that references it ... http://news.postnuke.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=… Basically phpnuke has a copyright notice it outputs to every single request. The phpNuke author says you MUST keep this in. The GPL has a provision that hints at this, but doesn't really seem to fit to me. It's all a bit whacky, and doesn't seem to me to be what the GPL is all about. -Marc On Thu, 1 May 2003, Stephen C. Daukas wrote: > > 3. The last issue is a bit fuzzy.

Re: [Wlug] A bit off topic - phpnuke et al.

by Stephen C. Daukas

Basically, it looks as though none of the "free" CMS software applications are actually turn-key out-of-the-box. Some offer a better base to work from than others, but everyhting I have seen in the last week or so has convinced me that you have to get under the hood in some way for some reason. Not that I'm done digging, but it looks like no matter which way you choose to go, you will have to do two things: 1. Write some of your own code, and 2: Gain some pretty intimate understanding of how the chosen system actually works so you can accomplish #1. If my guess is correct, I'll end up using Perl, PhP, mySQL, and probably WML on running on Linux/Apache. ;-) I am hoping to start with a project already out there and go from there... But I'll be digging around for a little while longer... Steve Brett Russ wrote: > Stephen C. Daukas wrote: > >> By way of FYI...

If you are looking for a basic CMS you can check out Plone. It is a product that is installed in Zope and offers some very rich functionality "out of the box" There is also a large community that has written products for various speciallized needs. You will find bloggers, bugtrackers, polling products and many utilities that are available for implementation into your site. For more info go to www.zope.org www.plone.org I'll get off my soapbox now :)) --mike On Thu, 2003-05-01 at 11:14, Brett Russ wrote: > Stephen C. Daukas wrote: > > By way of FYI...

I "fell back" to phpnuke and, while I am not very impressed with it either, it does the job. So it sounds like Zope requires quite a bit of programming just to get running? Or is there a default setup that offers most of what people need in a basic CMS? BR
