Currently I'm testing nor the commercial software VueScan ( http://www.hamrick.com/ ), which has so far worked without complaint , just click this without any configuration , and sit back. If this is so , I 'm going to set the professional license for it.
Thank you for your willingness to help in this matter , but if someone can think what we can revive the thread so happy again ...
I had similar issues to you and also found that vuescan works fine - my previous investigation of this issue seemed for my system to point to a problem with a scanner plugged into a usb3 port where the same scanner plugged into a computer that only has usb2 worked fine. I wonder if your scanner is plugged into a usb3 port? You might also find that plugging your scanner into a machine with only usb2 might work - this has been the subject of a bug report in the xsane scanner bug list for quite some time without a resolution yet.

[SOLVED] SDL audio works only under "sudo"

I seldom play games, but when I do I always bump into a problem of no sound in SDL lib based games.
There is no sound if I try to run them as a normal user. While "sudo game" (not "# game") runs the game with sound just fine.
My user is in audio group, so what could be the reason for that?

I changed it to this

Now, all is working, hmmm

[SOLVED] Pkgfile works only if I source file in shell's run command

Hello. I have created discussion here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Talk:Pkgfile, where I was told to open forum thread.
At the Command not found section it is explained that it will automatically search the official repositories, when entering an unrecognized command
But for me, it only works if I source file, as it is explained further:
To enable it in all children shells, you need to source the hook from one of your shell initialization files.
Example for Bash: ~/.bashrc
source /usr/share/doc/pkgfile/command-not-found.bash
I think we shold make it workable as it is explained in wiki or edit wiki as it works.
By the way, why there was removed useful information about command-not-found aur package? See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … did=317469 I think we should explain in wiki about this package too.

Am I missing something here? The wiki says that pkgfile includes that hook, and immediately afterwords says how to enable it. You are claiming it only works for you when you enable it. Good. This is the expected behavior, that's why the instructions on how to enable that feature are right there in the wiki. What is the issue here?

Yes, there is. It says to source that file from your shellrc file. It even gives explcit examples on how to do that for bash and zsh.

[SOLVED] startx works only as root

Hi to all,
I just installed arch on a vaio SVS13A with EFI and dual graphics, both HD4000 and nvidia. I am having troubles running X, startx works and shows the minimal environment only if I'm running it as root, if I'm running it as a normal user only a black screen appears and nothing happens, but there are no errors in Xorg.log. What's happening?
A thing I noticed is that if I try to run
Xorg -configure
it is not able to do it because it says there are two screens and only one device or something like that (I'm sorry I can't remember well but I'll check next time). Maybe Xorg is not able to find the correct screen (?) when I'm running it as normal user?
On the laptop there's a switch between "stamina" and "speed" to enable the discrete graphics card, I'm doing everything with the graphics disabled but the nvidia card seems to be recognized corretly anyway, maybe it's only a sw thing?
Thank you in advance!
p.s. I searched trough the forum and google but wasn't able to find a solution to my problem.

I added the configuration file for the two graphic cards but startx for the normal user is still terribly slow to start and I'm not able to use gdm.
I don't want to use both graphic cards or use nvidia optimus or something like that for now, I just want to access gnome and use X. I'm using the intel integrated graphics since it seems the other is not working (if I configure xorg to use it it's not able to run). From xorg.log it seems intel i915 module is able to recognize the card but for some reason gdm is still not working and whowing me only black screen with the clock instead of mouse cursor. To me it seems HD4000 is recognized but for some reason gdm is not working.
The situation is: two graphic cards (intel HD4000 and nvidia) and one monitor (my laptop monitor). I'm using nouveau and intel. No Ati and no dual screen.
Where can I find some logs in order to find the problem? daemons.log says there's a problem with dbus: no such file or directory but it seems dbus is up and running.

[SOLVED]Sound works only in phonon

Good evening,
I'd like to know why I can hear nothing. I've tried lots of solutions, but none has worked fine. But strangely the tests in Phonon work.
My sound cards are:
card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 1: ALC892 Digital [ALC892 Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
And the one that should work is the 1,0; I can tell you that because it works in Phonon.
- I've checked out both alsamixer and Kmix and the channels were unmuted.
- I've tried to set the default sound card using a global asound.conf.
- I've checked whether all modules have been loaded correctly
- Trying to play something with aplay, the device is busy
- In the UEFI, the audio is enabled
The issue is always the same:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -2, No such file or directory
I think I've written everything, I'm sorry if I haven't.

I just had an issue with no sound after recent updates. Not sure it's the same problem you are having.
I found I had to open Audio Mixer, select Sound card: HDA Intel PCH (Alsa mixer), Select Controls, check box for Speaker and check box for Headphones. After doing this I found the Speaker volume was set at minimum (although Master and PCM were already set at maximum). Adjusted Speaker volume up and I finally had sound again.

After I upgrade to maverick I cannot longer use my scanner (Epson Aculaser cx17). Now it works only as printer

After I upgrade to maverick I cannot longer use my scanner (Epson Aculaser cx17). Now it works only as printer. Does some one else have a similar problem?
With Lion worked very well.

The scanner is not amongst the scanners Apple supports on 10.6 through 10.9:
OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
Now it could use another scanner's engine, thus supporting the driver. It could also support the TWAIN preference in Preview application.
It could also show up in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Print and Scan.
If none of that helps, look at my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#SCANNER
for third party scanner drivers.

Headphones only work appropriately under 5.1 setti

Hey guys,
Out of nowhere, my headphones will only give sound from both sides on my X-Fi XtremeMusic card when its under 5. speakers. When I change it to headphones, the right sounds good but the left side isn't getting full volume, sort of faint. I thought this was the headphones but the headphones work perfectly under 5. settings.
Any ideas what the problem could be?

Did you install anything(software or hardware) or change any system setting lately before this happen?

In iTMS what is "work only" listed under price?

Iv come across phrase that I don't understand on the iTMS. It's listed in the price column, but it says "work only" instead of a currency amount. Does anyone know what this means?

If it doesn't appear in System Profiler then I would be contacting AppleCare and arranging a repair.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

How do I make my unsupported Epson Expression 800 artist scanner work in OS 10.5? Partitioning?

I have an Epson Expression 800 scanner which became non-functioning when I updated to OS 10.5. I have tried Vue Scan, doesn't work. Am wondering if I can partition my G4MDD HD and install OS 10.4 on it to get the scanner working again?
OS isn't noted below, but am running 10.5.8 on it right now.

since I backed my 10.4.11 system onto my external HD, do I need the physical disks for 10.3.9 in order to upgrade to 10.4 and so on onto the partition?
No. You may use a cloning utility such a SuperDuper.
Can I just drag the folder that has 10.4.11 in it from my external HD to the partition as is, in toto?
No. Use the cloning utility. In this way, the hidden files, the unnecessary files and the proper links and such will all be taken care of to creat an identical, bootable volume.
Does this take a bunch of time?
The initial creation (duplication) varies on the size of the volume being cloned. From 15 minutes to an hour is common.
assuming I'm going to partition, do I need to set up a separate password, etc, to get to the new partitioned area I want for scanning?
If you clone, when you boot to the new partition, you will use the same password.
Even if you install new, you may set the same password.
then I would need to make it my startup preference, right?
Either that, or, hold Option (Alt on Windows keyboards) when you start up. This brings up the Startup Manager and allows you to choose which volume to boot to.
Also, is the folder that contains the backup of my old system enough as reference 10.4?
As long as the backup is bootable, you may clone it to another drive or even just boot to it.
Or do I need a physical installation disk for 10.4 or 10.3? Can the OS be updated just the same as my tower?
Consider each new hard drive or each new partition as another "computer". The thing is, all these reside within the same machine.
So, which each new drive or volume, you install and set up your OS as you did when you first bought and setup your computer.
All these new systems can reside in one machine. You may boot between them at will, but cannot run two (or more) at the same time.
If you use clone utilities such as SuperDuper, then you only need to install an OS and applications once.
After that, using the clone utility, you can recreate a duplicate at anytime, and use the utility to keep an identical backup, to which you may also boot.
Use the Startup manager to choose which you wish to boot to, and leave the Startup drive preference in the system preferences set to the drive/volume that you use the most.

In iTunes 11.1 (I26) , I cannot find how to delete podcast listings showing undownloaded podcasts. Delete does not work. Option Delete does not work. Dragging to the trash does not work. Under Edit, Delete is greyed out. Mac OS 10.6.8

Tom at the Genius Bar told me that Option Delete would work. It does not.
I had to upgrade to iTunes 11.1.(I26) because it is required with OS7 on my iPod Touch (5th Gen). I have tried shutting down iTunes, then shutting down the entire system. This is the first in many visits that the Genius Bar gave me a solution that did not work.
This is a big awkward computer locked to my desk. I would rather not unlock it and then carry it through a shopping center to the Genius Bar if i can avoid oit.
When I installed iTunes 11.1, I discovered that Ihad to resubscribe to virtually all of the podcasts that I had previously been subscribed to. That was a surprise.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

Ichat video not working only to one person

I've read most of the post on "i chat not working"; but has anyone had it to not work only to one individual. This is my case. I can video i chat with my son in FWB FL. with no problem. He has an Apple also. I can take my laptop to his location and video i chat with my sister-in-law in Jefferson Ga. But, I cannot video i chat with my sister-in-law from my location, Valrico, Fl. to her location in Jefferson Ga. I have had a 3 way phone conversation going with Apple, My internet provider and her internet provider and no one can solve the problem. Does anyone have any assistance they can provide. I'm not computer savy; so be patient and go slow and detail with me; thanks. Norm

More often than not this is about the way a modem or router or combo at either end use NAT.
NAT is Network Address Translation.
It is the way a device shares an Internet connection with several devices/computers.
However NAT means different things to different devices and not all devices therefore are doing what is called NAT the same way.
See here for further mind boggling
So what you may have is a device at either end that does not or will not play nicely with another device.
This can be particularly the case if the device has to use Port Forwarding or Port Triggering or is using the DMZ to open ports.
Using UPnP reduces the problem in many cases.
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page15.html#CertainBuddy
Telling us what devices in the way of Modems and routers each end is using may help us pint to what can be changed.
Makes and models please with what they are doing to open the ports for iChat.
As Defcom has pointed out with certain connection it can be the Speed difference in the Internet connection both up and down that can be a factor.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.
