 Posted: Sat May 09, 2015 4:47 pm Post subject: Troubles with Brother multifunction printer |
 |
|
Hi everybody!
I'm experiencing a really wired issue with my girlfriend's laptop (but i can reproduce it on my desktop too) using the scanner function of our Brother DCP-7030 multifunction printer: it stopped working after upgrading the kernel from gentoo-souces-3.18.7 to 3.18.9 (and even 3.18.12).
At first I've thought some commit broke it, but that's not the case because even if i recompile the 3.18.7 kernel (with the very same config), it doesn't work and the only way to get it working again is booting the old 3.18.7 kernel compiled on february 22.
With the old kernel i get:
| Code: |

device `brother3:bus1;dev2' is a Brother DCP-7030 USB scanner
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_1.3M virtual device

While with a fresh compiled one (but the very same kernel) I get:
| Code: |
nadia@nadoosh ~ $ scanimage --test

scanimage: rounded value of br-y from 355.6 to 355.567

I checked the updated packages since february 22 and got this list:

Since both kernes were compiled with gcc-4.8.4, I've excluded it as the cause and since the only packege (from the list above) I've thought it can have something to do with the kernel is sys-kernel/linux-firmware, I've also tried to downgrade to version 20140902, but even recompiling the kernel with this version didn't work...
So I'm puzzled now becase I can't figure out what caused the issue and how to fix it for upgrading the kernel...
Do you guys (and gals) have any idea about what I can try next?
Thank you. |

skunk,
You updated or rebuilt media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.24-r5 but that does not really explain the dependance on different kernel versions.
Normally, a sane backends update either works or not.

Yes Neddy, I've thought about it too, but it has nothing to do as the version didn't change (the rebuild was trigged because a dependency)...
I'm still wondering what differ in the two kernel builds as even the resulting kernel size differs...

Are you 100% sure its the same config for the kernels? Have u tried /usr/src/linux/scripts/extract-ikconfig <kernel> to grab the config from the working kernel to compare?

# /usr/src/linux/scripts/extract-ikconfig /boot/vmlinuz-3.18.7-gentoo
extract-ikconfig: Cannot find kernel config.
# /usr/src/linux/scripts/extract-ikconfig /boot/vmlinuz-3.18.7-gentoo-test
tail: error writing ‘standard output’: Broken pipe
tail: error writing ‘standard output’: Broken pipe
extract-ikconfig: Cannot find kernel config.

but even yes, I'm sure I'm using the same config as I always install the kernel with "make install" which also creates config-<version> files and they don't differ:
| Code: |
# diff /boot/config-3.18.7-gentoo /boot/config-3.18.7-gentoo-test
3c3
< # Linux/x86 3.18.7-gentoo Kernel Configuration
---
> # Linux/x86 3.18.7-gentoo-test Kernel Configuration
|
Anything else I should check? |

This may be a stupid question, but often the simplest cause is overlooked. Did you check to make sure you are actually booting and building against the correct kernel, by checking uname -a to ls -l /usr/src/linux? I don't really like referencing /boot/config*, as that does not mean you are look at the running kernel. When possible check it again /proc/config.gz which is the running kernel's config.
Note: You do need | Code: | | CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC=y |
set, for that file to be available.
| Quote: | This article gives an overview of the Linux kernel’s CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC feature, which stores in the kernel the config file used to build it.
What it is
Linux can store a gzip-compressed kernel configuration file in the kernel itself, and make it available when the kernel is booted. This is very useful for determining how the kernel was configured when it was built. It makes it possible to re-create a kernel without having the configuration saved separately, makes it easier to debug problems with a kernel, and so forth. |

Yes, I'm 100% sure about kernel versions and config files...
Unfortunately CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC was disabled in config, so i can't read /proc/config.gz, but files into /boot have the same creation time so I'm pretty sure nothing was overwritten:
| Code: |
# ls -l /boot/*-3.18.7-*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2570882 Feb 22 18:17 /boot/System.map-3.18.7-gentoo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2570882 May 9 14:34 /boot/System.map-3.18.7-gentoo-test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2570882 May 8 13:46 /boot/System.map-3.18.7-gentoo-test.old
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 144550 Feb 22 18:17 /boot/config-3.18.7-gentoo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 144555 May 9 14:34 /boot/config-3.18.7-gentoo-test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 144555 May 8 13:46 /boot/config-3.18.7-gentoo-test.old
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3141344 Feb 22 18:17 /boot/vmlinuz-3.18.7-gentoo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3141360 May 9 14:34 /boot/vmlinuz-3.18.7-gentoo-test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3141024 May 8 13:46 /boot/vmlinuz-3.18.7-gentoo-test.old

At first I've thought some commit broke it, but that's not the case because even if i recompile the 3.18.7 kernel (with the very same config), it doesn't work and the only way to get it working again is booting the old 3.18.7 kernel compiled on february 22.

So you have an old 3.18.7 kernel that works and a new 3.18.7 kernel that makes trouble. Correct?
Did you think of exactly comparing the kernel images in /boot ? Are there differences? What if symlinking the old to the new? |

what do you mean? I doubt I'll get a clue doing a binary comparison...

Yes, there are differences even in the kernel size as you can see in the above ls output.
| charles17 wrote: |

Uh? what's the point of symlinking? what I can try is to run the old kernel with the new modules and vice versa in order to find out if the problem resides in the kernel image or in the modules (the kernel is mostly modular), however even after finding out that, I would still not have the clue on how to fix it... |

When kernel size is different, then most obviously also the config is. Done a diff, or vimdiff of configs? |
