[sane-devel] Mailing list: still problems?

2004-03-18 Thread e...@tiscali.be
Hi,

although I am apparently still subscribed and the list is
working again, I haven't received a single message yet.

I also don't get my password mailed back to me when I request it.

Since this got through, I obviously can still post to the list.

Anyone else having problems?

AFAIK, the .la files are only used by libtool when 
compiling/linking against a library. They don't interfere
during normal operation.

Do you have a /proc/bus/usb entry, ie. is the usb file system
mounted? (mount | grep usb)
You may have to load some usb modules first. I'm not sure how
it works on SuSE, but on RH you can do it like this (as root):

 modprobe usbcore
 mount -t usbdevfs usbdevfs /proc/bus/
 modprobe usb-uhci

Normally this is done at boot time.

[sane-devel] Mustek 1200CP scanner does not release parallel port

Sorry, I forgot this in my previous message:

Most likely, your scanner is not a true 1200CP. It looks like there are  
600CP's out there that are labeled as 1200CP's.
I have had a few similar reports before. I don't know who is  
responsible for this, ie., whether it is Mustek itself or some  
reseller.
If your scanner works fine with the cis600 setting, then it's indeed  
better not to try the cis1200 or cis1200+ settings, because that can be  
damaging to your scanner, as you found out.

Best regards,

Eddy

Hi Jim,

now we are getting somewhere. 
It looks like the driver is waiting for the scanner motor to stabilize,
but it waits forever, either because it doesn't stabilize, or because
the communication with the scanner is somehow messed up. 

Do you have libieee1284 installed? If so, what version is it?

It would be useful to also see the debug output of sanei_pa4s2.
I know you are short of disk space, so I won't ask you to collect 
all output. Just let it scroll off the screen. I'm only interested 
in the last few tens of lines or so (as long as the last few lines
of mustek_pp output are included):

 - stop inetd
 - as root: 
 SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=128 SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_PA4S2=255 saned -d128
 - in another window: 
 scanimage -d net:localhost:mustek_pp:Mustek-1200CP > /dev/null
 
Best regards,

Eddy

Sorry, I forgot to mention this: you have to run saned as root. 
Did you do that?

This is probably because saned didn't run as root.

Probably the same problem here: gdb has to be started as root.

Please try tests 2 and 3 again, running saned/gdb as root 
(unless you already did that).
Sorry for not being clear the first time.

Hi Jim,

I think it's normal that saned exits after one scan. Normally, it's 
xinetd that restarts saned when a new request comes in.
To restart saned in gdb, you only have to enter "r" at the prompt 
and then you can perform another scan.

What surprises me is that, now, saned doesn't hang at the end.
IIRC, when you started saned -d128 without gdb, it did hang.

I'm getting confused. Could you repeat the following tests, such
that I get a clear picture:

1) With xinetd

   - Make sure xinetd is running (/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart).
   - scanimage -d net:localhost:mustek_pp:Mustek-1200CP > test.pnm
   
   * Does scanimage hang?
   * If it hangs and you kill scanimage, is saned still running?
 (ps aux | grep saned)
   * If saned still runs, just kill it.
   
2) Without xinetd, no gdb   
   
   - Make sure xinetd is stopped (/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd stop).
   - SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=255 saned -d128
   - In another window:
   scanimage -d net:localhost:mustek_pp:Mustek-1200CP > test.pnm

   * Does scanimage hang?
   * Does saned exit? (It should).
   * If it hangs, please show the last few lines of debug output.
   
3) Without xinetd, in gdb

   - Make sure xinetd is stopped (/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd stop).
   - SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=255 gdb saned
   - At the gdb prompt: r -d128
   - In another window:
   scanimage -d net:localhost:mustek_pp:Mustek-1200CP > test.pnm

   * Does scanimage hang?
   * Does saned exit (ie., do you get the gdb prompt back)?
   * If saned hangs, hit Ctrl-C in the gdb window and request a 
 stack trace: bt
   * To restart saned: just enter "r" at the gdb prompt.
   
If a certain test doesn't give any problems, please repeat it a few 
times to make sure it isn't just luck.

Best regards,

Eddy

[sane-devel] Problems with mustek_pp and releasing the parallel port

2004-01-07 Thread e...@tiscali.be
Hi,

as I said before (but I don't know whether it came through because of the
mail hickups), the problem in gdb is almost certainly caused by xinetd 
that is still running and listening to port 6566. xinetd has to be stopped
first before running saned in gdb:

   /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd stop
   
After that, it should be possible to get a stack trace of the point where
saned hangs.

Or in sanei_pa4s2 or libieee1284.

I have no idea. I could add additional debug print statements
to the driver around the point where things seem to get stuck,
but IIRC, Jim cannot compile the backend.

There is one other option: running saned in a debugger.
Jim, can you install gdb on your system? If so, you
can try the following:

  * As root, enter
 SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=255 gdb saned
  * At the gdb prompt, enter
 r -d128
  * In another terminal window, enter
 scanimage -d net:localhost:mustek_pp:Mustek-1200CP > /dev/null
  * When the debug output in the gdb window stops and saned hangs,
hit "CTRL-C" in the gdb window.
  * Now enter "bt" at the gdb prompt. This will print a stack trace.
  * You can quit gdb with "q".

I'd like to see the stack trace and the last 50 lines or so of the
debug output.

You can find the last patch in http://home.tiscali.be/EddyDeGreef/Sane/new.
I don't remember exactly to what versions of Sane it does apply.
Older versions are still available in
http://home.tiscali.be/EddyDeGreef/Sane/old.

But I'm afraid you need to be able to compile sane to apply these patches
too. I don't have a SuSe box on which I could compile it for you.

This sounds like the noice I got when the scan head hit the bottom
and the belt started jumping over the dents. Yes, it's only rubber,
but the sound is quite loud, just like you describe. But I don't
understand how this could happen somewhere in the middle of the
page, unless there is something wrong with the glider mechanism.

At low resolutions, the movement sometimes isn't very smooth because
the head must skip positions, but it should still be periodical, like:
  ss s ss s ss s ss s ss s ss

If you still have access to a Windows 98 or 2000 machine, you could
first try to connect it to that one to see whether the problems
persist. If it disappears, it must be a driver problem.

Opening the scanner is not that risky. It's far less complicated
than a VCR, but if you're not comfortable with it, maybe you
shouldn't do it.

That's quite impossible, unless there is a serious bug in the driver.
This type of scanner is pretty dumb and it doesn't move unless the driver
tells it to move (and the driver never tells it to track back).

Does it happen at all resolutions?

This sounds like a physical problem. The fact that you get similar sounds
with the Windows driver seems to confirm this.
Those vertically stretched regions may be due to the scanner head jamming
a
bit every now and then and jumping ahead when the driving belt tension
increases. Maybe the glider bars need some grease?

If your PC were too slow (or too fast, which would be more likely), you
would probably see other artifacts due to synchronization problems (lines
having the wrong colors or containing garbage).

Are you sure that the MD9850 is a 600CP clone? 
AFAIK, it is a 1200CP clone. The problem you describe is exactly what
I would expect when you use the 600CP driver on a 1200CP.
Try setting the driver to "cis1200", but be careful.

Halfway down the page? I would expect this when the scan head hits the 
bottom. Does it also happen with the cis1200 setting?

I'm not the writer of that specific backend, so I'm afraid only
Jochen can help you further with that.

You can still try to get some additional output as follows:
SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=255 SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_PA4S2=255 scanimage -T

(I suppose you are not using a 2.2 kernel? The mustek_pp backend used
to have a problem with 2.2 kernels, but that should be solved now.)

The parse errors occur when parsing the mustek_pp.conf file
(probably also in /etc/sane.d, possibly in /usr/local/etc/sane.d).

The format of the configuration file has changed between 1.0.9 and
1.0.10, so maybe you are using an old format. (Or you have a 
mustek_pp.conf file at both locations, and sane is picking up 
the wrong one).

Your mustek_pp.conf file should only contain something
like this (assuming it's a CCD scanner, not a CIS).

scanner Mustek-III-EP+ 0x378 ccd300

I don't think this is contradicting. The mustek_pp backend comes
in two flavours: CIS and CCD. At that point the CIS driver was 
included and CCD driver was added later by Jochen Eisinger, 
still before the 1.0.10 release.

I assume that "mustek_pp" is not commented out.

It is fully functional as of sane-backends 1.0.10.
The most likely reason the scanner is not detected is that
you haven't configured the sane network daemon (see
http://www.penguin-breeder.org/?page=sane-net).

Without that daemon, you can only scan a super-user (root).
Have you tried "scanimage -L" as root ?

[sane-devel] wrong colors

My suspision was wrong. I've been able to reproduce it with 
xscanimage too, and the debug output of the mustek_pp cis 
driver confirms that the problem is in the driver.
