HP 5P scanner help

2010-03-09 Thread Andrew Otte
Help,
I have an HP 5P scanner plugged into an qlogic scsi card.  It has stopped 
working!  I can't remember the last time it did work.  I am using kubuntu 9:10 
with the latest kernel updates etc.  I know that the sg module is now built 
into the kernel but something is going wrong and I do not know how to fix 
things.
The scsi card is recognised and appears when I "lspci"

-- 01:01.0 SCSI storage controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 53c974 
[PCscsi] (rev 10)

The driver for the scanner is correctly selected as tmscsim and this gets 
inserted automatically.  dmesg has the following connected with it.

[2.060366] DC390: clustering now enabled by default. If you get problems 
load
[2.060370]with "disable_clustering=1" and report to maintainers
[2.066283] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKB] enabled at IRQ 19

[2.699686]   alloc kstat_irqs on node 0

[5.665907] DC390: OLD Sync Nego code triggered! (6 0)

Then that's as good as it gets.  
If I do a 'lsscsi -g'
the scanner does not appear.  It appears as though something is going wrong 
with the tmscsim module.  I do not know where to go from here.
Any help would be appreciated.

OK - once you make it to page 73 at the ubuntuforums on mounting samba
shares you discover that you need to add nounix and nobrl to the list of
options then voila.

Crazy permissions on mounted Samba Shares

2008-11-05 Thread Andrew Otte
Have 64bit intrepid running and am having crazy permission problems on
mounted Samba shares from a network hard drive.

Here is an example fstab line
//mybookworld/dad /media/mybook/dad cifs
user=reg,password=,iocharset=utf8,noperm,rw,gid=1000,uid=reg,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
 0 0

I have tried everything and yet I can only open documents as read only
in openoffice - I have read man pages and have tried all sorts of
variations and still no joy.  Have missed something or is there a bug?

Thanks

This shifted the binary file to another place but that's it.  I spose I need 
to find out why these are binary files and not merely copies of the 
directories.  Unison may have done it or they may have come from a Samba 
share on a network harddrive.  The said file is approximately the same size 
as the directory that disappeared that's why I want to get at its contents.  
Anyone else have a clue how to get at this data?

Hi,
Was fiddling with some backups using unison to a network hardrive and 
inadvertently deleted a folder with unison.  On the drive the folder was on 
there is a folder named '.trash-1000' It contains many binary files and I am 
sure one of them "is" the folder I am after.  I am using kubuntu 8.04.  Can 
someone point me to a way to getting the stuff out of these files in this 
folder.
Thanks

I have a wrt54gs router working fine but I have the optus supplied dlink 
modem.  
Can you get the DM111P to work direct into a pc?  Then you know it's 
connection is fine?
Is the modem connected to the right plug on the router - mine is 
labelled "internet"?
Have you set the DNS addresses of your provider into the router and/or linux?
There are so many possibilities even before we touch the wireless stuff.

James,
You should find some small lines at the top of the toolbar (or far left if at 
the top of the window) just click on them and you can drag the toolbar.  It 
will automagically jump to the top of the window when you move it close 
enough.
