[SOLVED]HP F735 - get scanner to work

You can read my previous topic here:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=661184
I'm still unable to set my scanner to work. What's strange, today I discovered it seems to be detected by the syste,:
[warnec@chakra-desktop ~]$ 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
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x2904 [Deskjet F735]) at libusb:002:005
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
# Not checking for parallel port scanners.
# Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
# can't be detected by this program.
# You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you
# found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as
# necessary.
[warnec@chakra-desktop ~]$
but:
[warnec@chakra-desktop ~]$ scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
[warnec@chakra-desktop ~]$ sudo scanimage -L

Do you have any idea why sane-find-scanner works, and scanimeg -L fails?

[SOLVED] Can't get Steam to work, VirtualBox installation

Hello!
I'm having problems with getting Steam to work on my Arch Linux installation. I'm new to Linux so I'll just give you a prehistory & console output. I installed the distro on a virtual machine created in VirtualBox, installed xorg & KDE, I didn't install any video drivers because this is what wiki says:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox#Installation_steps_for_Arch_Linux_guests wrote:Note: You do not need to also install a specific video driver in the guest system. Install the Guest Additions instead.
So I installed "virtualbox-guest-utils" package, created a file /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf with the following contents:
vboxguest
vboxsf
vboxvideo
Then I executed
sudo systemctl enable vboxservice
and rebooted the system. After the reboot I got the shared clipboard feature working => VBox Guest Additions seemed to work. Then I installed "steam" package, launched it via the terminal and waited for it to download it's updated. After Steam downloaded everything, I tried to launch it once again via terminal and got this:

and a GUI window saying "OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display". I tried to find a solution on the internet but they all mentioned installing Nvidia drivers. And VirtualBox GPU != Nvidia GPU.
Is there any way to solve this? Steam is working on my Fedora-VBox (this is the distro our lecturer uses as an example to teach us about Linux) installation out of the box.
EDIT: forgot to mention that system is x86_64, multilib in enabled, 3D acceleration in VM settings is enabled.

Fixed the issue by replacing nvidia-libgl with mesa-libgl & lib32-mesa-libgl.

HP PSC 1600 all-in-one getting scanner to work

Has any one had any luck in getting the scannner portion of this hardware to work. I had no problems setting up the printer but I can't get the scanner to work. When I try xsane it flashes scanning for devices and closes.

I never used it, but there is a separate driver for HP devices.

It's not in the support list, but I suppose it'll work.

[SOLVED] Can't get curl to work, among everything else

No matter what form I put curl in, I can't see to get it to work. The various manuals I've read through <man> and online have all shown me different examples, but none work.
I've tried <command> | curl -F 'sprunge=<-'http://sprunge.us' and it does... nothing.
I've tried substituting ix urls and pastebin urls but it does nothing.
I feel like a complete moron because everyone expects me to instantly understand what all this gibberish means, and no one else seems to have a problem uploading command text online.
I've had trouble every step of the way installing arch, and its taken me four hours to slug through each problem. Right now I can't start fluxbox for some reason, but I can't get the errors here except for what I write down.
Heres the error for that
Xmodmap: unable to open display ''
Error: Couldn't connect to XServer
I've tried redirecting xmodmap to the keys but it did nothing. I've tried figuring out this xserver thing but my retardation has apparently gotten in the way.
Is this normal? Does everyone feel like an 90 year old when they first jump into arch linux?

[SOLVED] can't get flash to work

First i tried copying the flashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins dir, but it didnt exists yet, so i did a searh and i found. This http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … bit_System tried installing nspluginwrapper but it didnt work after restarting firefox. Tried manually installing the flashplater.so files again, since there was a dir there. Tried pacman -S flashplugin after i found that to be the most up to date way. None of this has worked, any ideas? I installed the 10.0.42.34 version. I never restarted anything other than firefox either. Thanx for any help.

Yes, sorry about the editing, i just spent 10 minutes looking for the edit buttons and then the submit buttons, my new style made them invisible:P . I had a thought though. Before i installed gnome i had installed firefox, could i have installed a second copy while installing gnome or done something else to cause me difficulty? I like firefox but i guess i'll try getting flash to work in some other browsers and see how that goes. Also, firefox isnt detecting any plugins in its add-ons section, perhaps thats a clue?

Can't get Scanner to work.

I have an PH PSC 1610 which is a scanner and printer. Printing works great, but can't get the scanner funtion to work. Downloaded the HP OSX drivers, but nothing happens after running the intallation. All scanner programs iLife and HP's say no scanning device found. Not sure where to look. I would if were a PC, but I'm new to macs.
Thanks!

Did you download and install the universal binary software? If not then that's your problem. You must use the universal binary software on an Intel Mac.
You can also try using Vuescan which does support your scanner model.

The kernel module for
Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+
is 8139too I think
So /etc/rc.conf should be like this
# HARDWARE
# Scan hardware and load required modules at bootup
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
# Module Blacklist - modules in this list will never be loaded by udev
MOD_BLACKLIST=()
# Modules to load at boot-up (in this order)
# - prefix a module with a ! to blacklist it
MODULES=( 8139too forcedeth sk98lin slhc ac97_bus snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-seq-oss snd-seq-device snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-hwdep snd-$
# Scan for LVM volume groups at startup, required if you use LVM
USELVM="no"
The first one is 8139too, so it will be eth0
In my example the second one is forcedeth for nvidia ethernet controler, so its going to be eth1
Don't forget to edit /etc/resolv.conf

I have tried to get things working by following:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sa … leshooting
Hopefully that gives you helpful uber dudes something to go on.
Thank you for any help you can give. I am pretty technical, but have been away from Arch and smb for a while. I should be able to follow any suggestions fine.
Thanks!

Answered my own question, nmdb was the culprit.... dang, well saving this page for future ref:
This did it:
Starting the service
Start/enable Samba via the smbd and nmbd at boot:
systemctl enable smbd.service
systemctl enable nmbd.service
Run them right now as well (otherwise you'd have to reboot):
systemctl start smbd.service
systemctl start nmbd.service
Swat is a nice web interface too

[SOLVED] Can't get DE to work with catalyst

Hey everyone,
I got problems getting KDE/Fluxbox running. I've installed the latest catalyst drivers (11.6) from AUR. "aticonfig --initial" created the xorg.conf for me, which seems to be ok but it gives me this error:
Found fglrx primary device section
Fail to link to fglrx-libglx.so, please check wether driver is installed correctly
I got two Radeon HD5850s. Is it necessary to connect those two cards with the crossfire cables? I did, but I think it doesn't make any difference if I don't, it's probably unrelated to my problem. When I try to "startx" this is what I got:
(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0@2:0:0) found
(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0@1:0:1) found

I've also uploaded my /var/log/Xorg.0.log, maybe this is helpful.

I'm using kernel 2.6.39 (x86_64) and I've only one display connected to the first card, I don't have another one, so no xinerama or something like that.
Can anyone help?
best regards

1- remove your catalyst an catalyst-utils driver build from AUR.
2- remove fglrx from your modules, in my experience you don`t need it there unless you`re using catalyst-daemon.
3- I recommend you use the Catalyst repository:
[catalyst]
Server = http://catalyst.apocalypsus.net/repo/catalyst/$arch
4- Be sure to remove /etc/ati/
5- update repositories and install catalyst and catalyst-utils from there
6- finally follow this part of the wiki:
After installing package you probably need to configure xorg. Using provided aticonfig tool is recommended:
# aticonfig --initial
(or for Dual Head: # aticonfig --initial=dual-head)
And add nomodeset to your kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst , ie.:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda1 ro nomodeset
You may now reboot your system.
I hope that works, also if you want you can ask in the The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill thread.

[SOLVED]Can't get Orage to work in Openbox

Put simply, nothing happens.
orage
** Message: Orage **: Too small icon size, using static icon
if I try that again, with orage still running, I get this
(orage:6523): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_x11_get_server_time: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed
(orage:6523): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_x11_window_set_user_time: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed
It DOES show up then in pypanel however, and I get a small, unresizable window, as described in this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=37431. But for me, a reboot doesn't solve the problem.

Apparently orage is dependent on xfce-mcs-manager, which has to run before launching orage.

[SOLVED] Can't get Echinus to work

Hello Arch users,
I have installed Echinus from the AUR, but it doesn't seem to be working, or else I'm not doing something correctly. I am using the example config from the Echinus Arch wiki. I am using Slim as the display manager, and have configured Slim correctly as far as I know. According to the Echinus Arch wiki, I am supposed to copy everything from /usr/share/examples/echinus to either /etc/xdg/echinus or to my home folder. However, there is no /examples directory under /usr/share on my system. Is this perhaps a depricated option, or am I missing something?
Here is an excerpt from my slim.conf pertaining to echinus:
echinus)
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session echinus
Any help is appreciated.

Don't reinstall yet. If echinus is in /usr/bin, it built and installed correctly.
When you say you see a black screen with a cursor when you start echinus with .xinitrc, do you mean a movable mouse pointer?
If so, go back to using .xinitrc and startx; a blank screen with a movable mouse pointer is exactly what you should see when echinus starts. We can deal with your login manager issues later.
If not, please tell me exactly what you see, and skip to step(5) below.
Some simple rule out questions. First, run startx to start echinus.
1. When you see the movable pointer and blank screen, what happens if you press ctrl-alt+q?
2. Do you have xterm installed?
3. If you have xterm, what happens if you press alt+t when you see the blank screen with movable pointer?
4. If you don't have xterm, install it and try step 3 again.
5. If none of these steps produce any useful result, switch to another tty and post output of
ps ax | grep echinus
If you get hung up again, you can kill echinus from another tty with
pkill echinus
(you won't need to reboot).
I built echinus from the AUR yesterday and can run it successfully from .xinitrc/startx, so we should be able to fix this. I'm pretty sure I know why it doesn't show up in LXDM (it doesn't create a .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions), but we'll get to that later.

[SOLVED] Can't get xinetd to work FAIL: SERVICENAME libwrap

Hi Guys,
I installed xinetd from core and started the daemon with the following service file in /etc/xinetd.d/
service pingback
disable = no
server = /home/me/pingback.sh
id = pingback
socket_type = stream
wait = no
flags = REUSE
instances = 25
user = root
protocol = tcp
log_type = FILE /var/log/pingback.log
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
Here is /home/me/pingback.sh:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo $(uptime)
/etc/hosts.allow:
pingback : ALL : ALLOW
xinetd : ALL : ALLOW
/etc/services:
pingback 8082 # my pingback service
When I attempt to access is via netcat (nc -v 127.0.0.1 8082) (have also tried ktelnet localhost 8082), I get:
127.0.0.1 8082 (pingback) open
...and nothing else. When I look in my log file, a failure has been reported, but I don't understand what is going wrong?! HELP!

Thanks!
BTW: There are no errors in the daemon.log, it actually says my service is active!

I noticed that the following forum post had the same problem:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57281
The solution was to allow all from local loop interface:
ALL : 127.0.0.1
This isn't ideal, but also concludes that the correct service name is yet to be added to the hosts.allow file for this to work.
So I started investigating, using the filename in /etc/xinet.d and the name of the script the server points to, when I figured it out:
SOLUTION:
You have to specify the name of the script file or service (in the service attribute in your xinetd config file) in hosts.allow!
So for my service in the top post, I need to add the following to hosts.allow:
pingback.sh : 127.0.0.1 : ALLOW
