Oh God, I stuffed xsane!

I tried to align with your versions in an attempt to get my scanner working.

I had xsane 0.93 since I have unmasked it to ~x86

I commented out the unmast and emerge -p xsane showed 0.91 like yours , so I went adhead.

It failed saying it needed at least sane 1.0.0 , fine.

Now when I try to go back to 0.93 I get same msg.

Any idea waht this is about??

Thx :roll:

hi :-)

so, now we are both stucked at our current state... hmm...
thx for help coming this far, anyway :-)

for your problem, you could emerge -C the versions you don`t want
and then do a completly new merge of them with the other
version...

kindest regards,

twilight

I wont recount why I was up until 9am this morning but things have stabalised.

There is a pb with ~x86 libusb (0.1.8 ) in that it does not smylink libusb-0.1.so.4 to anything so dozens of packages dont compile and revdep-rebuild will lead you on a merry wild goose-chase if you have gnome-core and not gnome-desktop.

Also something has done serious damage to my win partition (poss unmerging wine??). That put a dent in faith in Linux using VFAT and I mount it 'ro' from now on! :evil:


Getting back to CanoScan I think this must be some sort of driver/software conflict rather than a config pb.

Like I said I have seen it work for a couple of days so all is possible.

Probably should go back to vanilla kernel and file a bug to xsane if it persists.

Like I said it ain't pretty, but it works. If that helps out somebody then it was worth sharing.


Praise the lord, hallelujah! Your script actually works the way it should so that the permissions are properly set upon boot! This was my last stumbling block to getting my scanner working seamlessly (been beating my brains out trying to figure out *why* the setup didn't work right). Thankyouthankyouthankyou, kurtb. :)

I have just spent a few hours trying to make iscan work with my Epson 1640 SU Photo scanner. It turned out all my problems were due to an old version of iscan libs that were still in the way. Bugger!
While all is still fresh in my memory, I'll try to sum up what I have done.

Config: gcc-3.3.3 kernel 2.6.x (no scanner.ko module)

Installed software
Code:
# emerge -vp libusb hotplug xsane sane-backends sane-frontends

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] dev-libs/libusb-0.1.8   0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/hotplug-20040401   0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] media-gfx/xsane-0.93  +gtk2 +jpeg +nls +png +tiff  0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.14  +gphoto2 +usb  0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] media-gfx/sane-frontends-1.0.12  +gimp  0 kB


Start hotplug
Code:
# /etc/init.d/hotplug start
# rc-update add hotplug default


Edit /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap
Mine:
Code:
# USB PTP Nikon Coolpix 3100
usbcam     0x03 0x04b0 0x0115 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00000000
# Scanner 1640
usbscanner 0x03 0x04b8 0x010a 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00000000


0x04b8 0x010a codes identify your scanner. For instance, sane-find-scanner displays
Code:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x010a [Perfection1640]) at libusb:002:006]


Create script usbscanner, i.e. same name as first field in the file you have just created, in /etc/hotplug/usb
Mine:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
# /etc/hotplug/usb/usbscanner
#

GROUP=users

if [ "${ACTION}" = "add" ] && [ -e "${DEVICE}" ]
then
    chgrp "${GROUP}" "${DEVICE}"
    chmod 0660 "${DEVICE}"
fi
Please note use of -e instead of -f which did not seem to work. My guess is /proc/bus/usb/002/00n does not look a regular file to bash when the script is called. find /proc/bus/usb -type f does list it though.

If you want to restrict access to some users, define a 'scanner' group e.g. and use it instead of users.

In file /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, define used backends (epson for xsane and epkowa for iscan) :
Code:
#/etc/sane.d/dll.conf
epson
epkowa

In files /etc/sane.d/epson and /etc/sane.d/epkowa, use usb ID's as for hotplug :
Code:
# epkowa.conf
#
usb 0x4B8 0x10A
and
Code:
# epson.conf
#
usb 0x4B8 0x10A


Note: to install iscan, you need gcc3.2 sources from http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html, then use common ./configure / make / make install sequence.
I used ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-gphoto2 --enable-libusb --with-gnu-ld

xsane and iscan-1.8.1 work perfectly for users. no need to be root.
Small glitch: xsane does not like epkowa backend (segfault), just run xsane epson.

so,

i am still stuked in that "device busy" problem, but, oh wonder
oh wonder, ONCE scanning worked with gimp AFTER i tried to
get a preview with Kooka (KDE)... after that don`t working i
was trying gimp and it worked...

But now it doesn`t anymore.

Somebody gave me the hint that i should post the output
of dmesg here and if what dev-filesystem i am using...

so here it is: i am using devfs because udev doesn`t show up
in the menu of make menuconfig... even though it is deprecated
and i am using 2.6.5-gentoo-dev

and here`s what dmesg says:

I did not bother reading this entire thread, I just wanted to let the people with Epson scanners know that I created an ebuild for iscan. You can find it https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50043 . I find that the epkowa backend that comes with iscan solved all of the problems I was having with the epson backend.

Well, with the help of this thread I got my scanner working almost perfectly, but one issue remains:
My keyboard is always switched off as soon as I start scanning anything. I have to plug it out and in again to make it work. Anybody noticed this weirdness? Anybody found a solution?

Code:

The permissions for the device files used by libusb  must  be  adjusted
       for  user  access. Otherwise only root can use SANE devices. For Linux,
       the devices are located in /proc/bus/usb/. There are directories  named
       e.g.  "001"  (the  bus  name)  containing  files "001", "002" etc. (the
       device files). The right device files can be found out by running scan-
       image  -L  as  root. Setting permissions with "chmod" is not permanent,
       however. They will be resetted after reboot or replugging the  scanner.
       It's  also  possible to mount the usbfs with the option "devmode=0666",
       e.g. by using the following line in /etc/fstab:

              none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults,devmode=0666  0  0





I've tried everything and nothing made any difference then I added the line
Code:

none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults,devmode=0666  0  0

to my /etc/fstab and hey presto it works!

You say you run libusb 0.1.8 , when I use ~x86 and emerge this version I get faults from just about any scan software:
Code:
bash-2.05b# scanimage -L
scanimage: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
bash-2.05b#


Did you fix that or not get it?

For sake of completeness to this thread, let's capture this one as well. I was getting this error whenever I attempted to start /usr/sbin/saned:

Code:
May 23 20:46:38 tux saned[18857]: check_host: getpeername failed: socket operation on non-socket
May 23 20:46:38 tux saned[18857]: init: access by host [error] denied
May 23 20:46:38 tux saned[18857]: quit: exiting


if you use xinetd to launch the saned daemon, you may have to disable the "only_from" in the /etc/xinetd.conf file:

Code:
defaults
{
#       only_from      = localhost
        instances      = 60
        log_type       = SYSLOG authpriv info
        log_on_success = HOST PID
        log_on_failure = HOST
        cps            = 25 30
}

includedir /etc/xinetd.d


And then, to run a scanner front end on a client machine (client in my case is redhat 9 machine talking to a gentoo scanner server), you need to type:

Code:
xsane net:tux:epson
(replace with your host and scanner name, net: is the prefix that gets xsane to look on the network)

My 2 cents

I made an ebuild of the newer version of iscan.
Works with libusb
Solution to make it work with xsane/scanimage and friends is applied.
get it here:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50043

have fun, report bugs. :evil:

Nice work producing an ebuild.

Only pb I have is it has fetch restrictions since the source comes from epkowa site and on that site they seem to be offering a later version now.

iscan-1.9.0-5.redhat.8.0.tar.gz

maybe the ebuild needs editing :?:

Also:
Do you have any experience of neg. scanning with the epson * Photo range?

I am looking to buy a scanner and want to choose one that is fully supported under Linux.

Epson seem to have a very active and positive support for Linux so I am strongly looking at thier range. However the std xsane-backends seem to be a bit lacking in full support .

Do you have some advise to offer ,

Thanks. 8)

I'm quite happy with my 1640SU Photo. Negative scanning works great with it. iscan does a much better job at it than xsane btw.
If you need to scan many negatives, you might want to look for a specialized scanner. They have become quite affordable.
Check this 400dpi negative scan (2.3Mb) or the same one at 3200dpi (7.2Mb)

Thanks for a very interesting post.

the 3200 dpi is facinating , you can really see the individual chrystals at this resolution which answers another of my qu. about what resolution was required to get the higherst quality from film scanning.

After a bit of googling I had been able to calculate 1600 should exeed the grain resolution of a 100 ASA film. I guess that the shot you posted was done on a somewhat faster film. 400ASA perhaps. Can you recall that detail?

Yes, I am becoming a bit disappointed with sane*. It's a great open source project but lacks performance and support at a number of levels. Another reason for supporting Epson if they produce quality support for Linux.

the 1640SU Photo is getting a bit old now (with the rate of change in hardware these days!) and is probably hard to find new now.

Do you have any feedback as to whether the newer devices perform as well? (newer is not always better)

I am looking at 1670 Photo or 2400 Photo in particular.

Thanks again.

Can't remember but it must have been 400 because I used it home (inside). Negative strip shows codes G23 and CH-7.

Sorry, I don't know anything about newer models.

Why do you say there is a newer version avialable ?
The newest one on there site is 1.9.0-5 withch is used in the latest ebuild.
There are no fetch restirictions since i expect it to be put on the gentoo mirrors. The license of epson allows that.

I want you to report success or failure with this ebuild if you're using it.
Does the LD_PRLEOAD stuff make sane/xsane/scanimage work for you ?
Report everything to bugzilla:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50043

so wanna hear something crazy :). scanimage fails. scanimage -L finds the scanner, but it refuses to scan.
However now xscanimage and xsane both work properly unless the scanner goes to sleep (light goes off). if the scanner is sleeping and i fire up xscanimage or xsane, it hanges the programs for a couple of minutes before they finally start up and things work.
Huh. That sounds like the exact same problem I had with my Epson CX3200 multifunction device over a year ago.

good job man.

I have the same problem of Gentree
Code:

bash-2.05b# scanimage -L
scanimage: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I have tried all... but nothing that stupid error doesn't go away.

The last attempt was:
Code:

# /etc/init.d/hotplug stop && rc-update del hotplug default
# Unmerge libusb, hotplug, sane-back, sane-front, xsane, iscan
# reboot
# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge libusb hotplug sane (back,front,x)
# emerge iscan 1.9
# start hotplug and add it to default level
# reboot

All that but no result...iscan,xsane,scanimage give the seme out no libusb bla..bla..bla..
Only command that run correctly is sane-find-scanner.. :?
It work it is like root like that user

Im realy wondering. I just merged libusb on my system
emerge -avB libusb
(this gaves me version 0.1.8)
And this installed the following files
./usr/
./usr/bin/
./usr/bin/libusb-config
./usr/lib/
./usr/lib/libusb.la
./usr/lib/libusb
./usr/lib/libusb.a
./usr/lib/libusb-0.1.4
./usr/lib/libusb-0.1.4.4.0
./usr/share/
./usr/share/doc/
./usr/share/doc/libusb-0.1.8/
./usr/share/doc/libusb-0.1.8/README.gz
./usr/share/doc/libusb-0.1.8/NEWS.gz
./usr/share/doc/libusb-0.1.8/AUTHORS.gz
./usr/include/
./usr/include/usb.h

So /usr/lib/libusb-0.1.4 gets installed. Whats up with your libusb ?
What files will installed when you try did that ?

This is emerge out...
During the merge i don't have seen any error
Code:

bash-2.05b# emerge -avB libusb

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     UD] dev-libs/libusb-0.1.7-r1 [0.1.8]  0 kB

Total size of downloads: 0 kB

Do the following:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -B libusb
and post the last lines of the output, when it merges the files in the image.
