General :: 10.04 LTS Scanner Compatible With Ubuntu?
May 4, 2010
What is the best scanner to use with ubuntu 10.04 LTS were drivers that come with Ubuntu are compatible.
Recently purchases a Brother Laser printer model 2142, drivers were already install, I am very impressed with Ubuntu, surpasses windows as I was a hard core windows user.
I was able to get the printer up and running by downloading the printer driver for debian linux (3.1) from the Canon site without any problems.
Unfortunately I am not having the same luck with the scanner.
I tried downloading ScanGear MP for Linux (deb) (1.3) from the same Canon site but have not yet been able to get the XSane Image Scanner to recognize this scanner driver for my Canon.
I was able to get my Epson Stylus NX510 printer up and running (after much issue), but I can't get the scanner working. I'm on a laptop, and the printer/scanner is wifi enabled and broadcasts with its own IP address. I can print with no problem, but xsane and simple scan don't recognize the scanner. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.
Have Karmic 9.10 ,Changed from Epson RX595 all in 1 (uses a ton of ink)Got the Lexmark Pro 805 3 in 1 because it says it supports Linux and the ink cartridge only cost $5 downloaded drivers and printer works but using Xsane Image Scanner error reports
'Lexmark_1_0_0:libsub/001/009': Device busy Using Image Scan - reports Could not send command to scanner Check the scanner status. The RX595's scanner drivers had to been manually instatlled,, in the Printer box the Lexmark shows available..
I've installed XSane Image Scanner. When I first opened it, it searched for my scanner and didn't give any error messages, and it had my scanner model in the heading of the scan window. But when I hit the scan button, it gave me saying, "Failed to start scanner: error during device I/O.I closed everything, and opened XSane again. This time it said there was no scanner available. The scanner is plugged into the USB port and uses that for both power and data. It's a Canoscan Model N650U.
After downloading and installing iscan and run it i see this message:
Could not send command to scanner. Check scanner's status.
After command sane-find-scanner:
And this message is result of scanimage command:
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
I'm buying this unit from deal extreme: it's a bitorrent downloader, with NAS capability. I'm interested in sharing an external HD in it, with media and backup purposes. I'm afraid of energy problems (don't know if this is the correct term), corrupting my mounted drives (like after a storm), so I thought about buying an UPS that sends a "signal" to my Linux box, and a script in my Linux box would unmout everything to avoid problems.Do this "UPS signal" feature exists? Do you have model suggestions?
I am looking to buy a USB hard drive that will work with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server, is there anything I need to look out for? Are there any computability issues I should be aware of? I have looked through Ubuntu's documentation but couldn't really find anything.
i am using ubuntu 10.10 maverik and i am trying to use it with sharp printer AR-5316 BUT i have not found any drivers that are compatible with the printer!
I have an old mini-desktop computer I want to have as a spare machine for internet browsing and checking email. It has a copy of XP currently, but the previous owner didn't put the key in so I can't get onto it at all. I plan on putting linux on it, just not sure what it can handle. It has 384 megs of RAM I believe, and the processor is a via C3, so I'm not even sure if I can run linux on it. I've checked the faqs and googled a bit, but I can't tell if it's i486, i586, or one of those things, and I'm not sure what linux distros(if any) are compatible. Will linux mint be able to run on a 900mhz processor of this sort and 384 megs of RAM? I'm thinking no, but it's the only linux distro I've dabbled with before. If not, will ubuntu? Will opensuse?
Last time I bought a new computer (I build them myself) I got a motherboard that had really poor linux support for a long time. Specifically the audio. I had to wait months before the kernel supported the on board audio chipset. That is exactly the situation I'm trying to avoid this time around.
I have some specific questions about "server motherboards" actually. I looked at a few models of server motherboards by intel, and some random models on newegg. I wasn't able to see much of a difference from regular desktop motherboard other than most had two sockets, and support for much more ram. These boards seem more popular with Linux users. Why?
AMD and Intel both have server CPUs as well. Some question, what's the difference?
To make this question more concrete, I was looking at this this motherboard. The main questions about it that I can't answer are:
Can I get a motherboard without on board raid and audio? I wanted to get a hardware raid controller and a PCI audio card. I thought a server motherboard would be cheaper and not have these "extras", since who wants an audio card on a server?
Where can I found out about Linux support for the components on this board? "Intel ICH10R", "Realtek ALC889", "Marvell 88E8056"
I'm buying this computer to work as a Linux desktop for a lot of compiling, coding and audio/video work, but I don't want to rule out the possibility of installing windows and playing some games at one point. (even if the last game I got has been sitting in its box unopened for almost a year). Is it a good idea to buy a "server motherboard" and play games on it, or are desktop boards better value for this?
The ultimate solution for me would be a motherboard that had GPL divers for onboard LAN, a single CPU socket, lots of PCI express and PCI. USB 3.0, and no fancy hard disk controllers since I'll be getting a separate one.
I would like to know your opinion on a Linux distribution that works best on a MacBook Pro. I tried Ubuntu 11 but I couldn't get wifi to work, all the keyboard shortcuts were jumbled up, and the even the trackpad was working horribly.
I need such a OS on a old system for mass downloading and experimenting downstairs. Also I would prefer if it doesn't require too much Linux know-how and is operable by my Windows 7 system via networking. It doesn't need to be compatible with TrueCrypt or JDownloader specifically if alternative software for it exists.
When I configure the VMware-open-source-view-client using the command configure --host=sh4-linux CC=sh4-linux-gcc CXX=sh4-linux-g++ to configure the VMware-open-source-view-client which is proper running on the ARM architecture.(sh4-linux is a platform in ST).
configure:10578: result: no configure:10518: checking for exit in -lboost_signals-mt configure:10578: result: no configure:10518: checking for exit in -lboost_signals-mt configure:10578: result: no
i have an ipod shuffle and i want to get an itunes acount but i do not know if my ipod is compatible with arch linux. and i do not know if this will affect it but i don't think i have working sound card.
I got a new Canon LiDE 110 scanner. It's a very cheap device but the important thing is that it is listed as "completely supported" in the SANE site. I had to compile the latest SANE from sources, but I have no problems with compiling from sources, and now everything runs from the version in /usr/local/... The problem is that "scanimage -L" doesn't detect the scanner. I also don't see any scanners under /dev/... I think it might help if I pass the scanner device with the -d option to scanimage but I don't know how to find out what the device file of it is.
This is what I see with lsusb: Bus 005 Device 004: ID 1c4f:0003 SiGma Micro Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 007: ID 04a9:1909 Canon, Inc.

I have this Epson multifunction TX-105 and it worked fine with Hardy Heron. Now i am running Lucid Lynx and cannot find a driver for the scanner part. Question: is it safe to try the old script on this new Ubuntu version..? Printer was automatically detected and it's ok. Damn scanner is the one i want to activate.
I need to split up a large file on windows so I can upload it in parts to a linux machine. I'm looking to do the opposite to this hopefully with some native utilities to keep it simple.
I understand the linux side of the equation to be cat filea fileb > file
what is the simples way to split files on a windows machine which can then be joined together via cat on a linux machine?
