OK, I got the scanner to work when connected with USB. I needed a few more files for the hplip 3.10.6 version. I installed all these and it started to work: hplip-hpijs-3.10.6-3bubmdv2010.1.i586.rpm hplip-3.10.6-3bubmdv2010.1.i586.rpm hplip-gui-3.10.6-3bubmdv2010.1.i586.rpm libsane-hpaio1-3.10.6-3bubmdv2010.1.i586.rpm hplip-model-data-3.10.6-3bubmdv2010.1.i586.rpm hplip-hpijs-ppds-3.10.6-3bubmdv2010.1.i586.rpm These I found from here: http://www.mdvrb-factory.de/ Now I need to get it working wirelessly. As soon as I disconnected the USB it stopped working. How can I make it work over wlan?

You and me both. :huh: I tried installing hplip 3.10.9 from the package downloaded from SF site. But I always hit the wall with the libusb. Is this a rigths issue? Or a missing symbolic link or something like that? But that's not the problem anymore! A friend in a Finnish board pointed me to here: http://www.mdvrb-fac...de/HByName.html There I found packages to 3.10.6 version of hplip. I got it to work and I got the right drivers for my printer! So that's good. BUT, I couldn't get the scanner to work with xsane (or any other software for that matter)... I tried running hp-setup, but it will just not find my HP. I have tried it both wirelessly and with the USB. No luck. What to do...?

OK. First I checked that I had libusb-compat0.1-devel package installed. So that's no help. Then I tried using the scanner with the USB connected, but no. I got notification that the software for the printer is not installed: "No printer driver for HP Photosmart B110 series". Yes, I have B109a installed, but with that I can use the printer though - and that is good. I tried using xsane as root, but again got only the webcam image. So no help there. :unsure: When running dmesg I got a very long list of something I could not understand. This list goes further than Konsole will show (scrolling up all the way): end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0 sr 2:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE sr 2:0:0:0: [sr0] Sense Key : Illegal Request [current] ILI sr 2:0:0:0: [sr0] Add.

I think I need the hplip 3.10.6 or 3.10.9

I believe I have installed every package that has 'libusb' in the package name. But I will doublecheck tonight. I also believe that I installed the listed packages that the installer was warning about.

Well, I've tried running it as root when the printer's not been connected by USB, but then xsane brings my webcam image (I was a bit surprised to see that). So it does not find the wireless printer. I will try this (running xsane as root) when I've got the printer connected by USB. I'll post back.

I had it installed, but urpme'd it and again urpmi'd it. (I'm inventing new English words here... B) ) No help. I ran xsane from terminal: $ xsane libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/001/001: Permission denied. libusb requires write access to USB device nodes. libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/001/002: Permission denied. libusb requires write access to USB device nodes. libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/001/003: Permission denied. libusb requires write access to USB device nodes. libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/002/001: Permission denied. libusb requires write access to USB device nodes. libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/003/001: Permission denied. libusb requires write access to USB device nodes. libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/004/001: Permission denied. libusb requires write access to USB device nodes. libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/004/002: Permission denied. libusb requires write access to USB device nodes.

No, sorry. My system is x86 (32). $ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.33.7-desktop-2mnb #1 SMP Mon Sep 20 19:00:25 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Thanks, but I do. It is the version 3.10.2 that comes with the hplip 3.10.2.

Thanks John, I did install this with the USB, and I got the printing working (even with wireless). Doing the installation with USB hplip recommended to use B109 driver which I did. But I couldn't get the scanning to work (with xsane).I would hate to boot to windoze just to scan something... Does anyone have any suggestions for the problem with libusb?

Hi John et al, I have a similar problem, but I have an HP Photosmart B110 (with wireless). This is not supported until HPLIP 3.10.6, but Mandriva has packaged only HPLIP 3.10.2... I know that cooker has 3.10.6 packed, but I kinda messed one of my installations when enabling cooker sources and tried to get it working. There were too many other dependencies that needed to be updated for the cooker version of HPLIP that I broke something. It installed some packages and but could not install all and I couldn't install the HPLIP 3.10.6 from cooker. Now I actually have a broken Mandriva 2010.2 installation... (more on that perhaps on a different thread). I tried installing the HPLIP 3.10.9 from the sourceforge page, but it all ends with this installer error: error: Configure failed with error: libusb not found I know that I have libusb installed and I even made sure I have all the libusb packages installed. Any idea as how to go forward?

I tried, but I couldn't install zoneminder in my Mandriva. If anyone manages to install it in Mandriva, let me know.

Hey, that zoneminer looks nice. May have to try that one out.

It's working! I can again access all the directories and files in the server HDs. What I don't understand is what happened. I didn't execute anything, I just read some of the files mentioned above and did not do anything to fix the situation. But all of a sudden all files were again there! I can find them with my server or with any of the home network computers. I need to figure out a way to get a decent backup of all my stuff. I used Areca, but I could never make it work automatically (through cron) or make any more than the original backups; no incremental or differential backups. Perhaps I need to study Areca some more. Or if you have any better solutions for backups. I need to be able to trust the server making backups (incremental or differential) automatically. Anyway, it all seems to work now! Thanks for your support!

It's all fun to play with the installation when the system doesn't have data on it, but when I'm trying to rescue precious files from it, I try to be very careful. So I thought I'd have a look at the /etc/mdadm.conf file before doing what you suggested. Should that read also the information of the md2 disk? This is what it currently looks like: DEVICE /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc5 /dev/sdb5 ARRAY /dev/md0 UUID=b2cdaf23:90dcfb95:04894333:532a878b auto=yes ARRAY /dev/md1 UUID=88034630:c35fb792:04894333:532a878b auto=yes I'm a bit confused here. I thought it should say md2 as well... Then I had a look at the LVM setup in MCC it says e.g. for the first LVM partition: Mount point: /music Device: networkstorage/1 Volume label: music Type: Journalised FS: XFS Size: 195GB (13%) Mounted Then on the raid sheet it shows only two parts: the first is the /boot partition (md0 with 196MB) and the rest is for raid. For the big chunk it says: Device: md1 Type: Linux Logical Volume Manager Size: 1.3TB Not formatted LVM networkstorage Used physical extent 186904 / 357650 Level 1 Chunk size 64 KiB RAID-disks sdc5, sdb5 Finally on the /etc/fstab file it says only the md0 and the LVM partitions I've named: /dev/networkstorage/root / xfs relatime 1 1 /dev/md0 /boot ext4 relatime 1 2 /dev/networkstorage/home /home xfs relatime 1 2 /dev/networkstorage/3 /pictures xfs relatime 1 2 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto umask=0,users,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 # Entry for /dev/sda1 : UUID=1870AFF570AFD830 /media/win_c ntfs-3g defaults,umask=000 0 0 # Entry for /dev/sda2 : UUID=C480B30F80B306C8 /media/win_d ntfs-3g defaults,umask=000 0 0 /dev/networkstorage/1 /music xfs relatime 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/networkstorage/2 /files xfs relatime 1 2 /dev/networkstorage/tmp /tmp xfs relatime 1 2 /dev/networkstorage/usr /usr xfs relatime 1 2 /dev/networkstorage/var /var xfs relatime 1 2 /dev/networkstorage/4 /videos xfs relatime 1 2 # Entry for /dev/sda6 : UUID=306e5196-7b43-11dc-82a0-2b86f7e532aa swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/networkstorage/swap swap swap defaults 0 0 Now, what does that all mean? Should there be a disk md2?

The weird stuff continues... With my winXP (home) installation in another computer I can access the network drives! But I'm still unable to connect the that same network drive with my Mandriva systems. I unmounted the drive in my laptop Mandriva 2010.1 and was unable to mount it again. I get this: # mount /home/networkstorage/videos mount error(88): Socket operation on non-socket Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Hey...! Some progress! I went to the MCC and had a look at my partitioning there. I checked the LVMs there and they seem to be there. They report all data in there. AND when I chose any of the LVM partitions and clicked View (the button on the right) it opened up a file manager / a dialog (maybe nautilus) and shows me everything that I have there! :D Oh yeah, the data seems to be there, but I cannot access it. Is that something to do with the RAID1? And more importantly, how can I fix the problem. :unsure:

Oh, and there's no lost+found directory in this system for some (odd) reason...

I started to think if this has something to do with the RAID1 I have in this server. I ran cat /proc/mdstat and it gave me this: $ cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sdc1[0] sdb1[1] 200704 blocks [2/2] [uU] md1 : active raid1 sdc5[0] sdb5[1] 1464935104 blocks [2/2] [uU] unused devices: <none> So where is the other disk? But then again, if one HD fails in RAID1 mode, the other one should work independently and should not lose any data. So what has happened? And how can I check if one of the drives has really had it? I've formatted the partitions as XFS and the drive is LVM; does that make any difference

I encountered a problem this morning in my home network. I have a desktop computer acting as a network server (mainly storage, but it's also a printer server and media server for my PS3). This has a Mandriva 2010.0 Free and it's just a regular installation of it. I have a lot of photos, music, videos and documents in that server (hundreds of GBs). Now this morning I tried to access one of the calc files on that server, but I couldn't. There was some sort of input/output error. I accessed the storage (it's mounted on my laptop as /home/networkstorage) with my file manager (dolphin) and saw that the main folders were there: /music, /documents, /photos etc., but there was nothing in these folders! I then opened up the vnc connection (kdrc) to the server and got the same situation. I really didn't have time before work, but I still checked the server itself and plugged it into a display. There I saw the same situation with dolphin and double checked it in konsole: nothing seems to be under the folders. I rebooted the server, but nothing changed. This is where I had to leave it for the day. I'll have to check how it is when I get back from work. Does anyone have any clue what the problem might be? I should add that the server HD is 1,5 TB RAID1 (identical HDs). [moved from Software by spinynorman]

Yes, I read about it in the other thread. I must say that you are quick to react... :D

That's interesting, will need to keep an eye for this. Possible future Mandriva?

I tried to find a way to rename the subject to add the solved, but couldn't find a way to do so myself. Thanks.

Excellent; thanks Greg! There was this: ~/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/ I renamed it and amarok started without a problem! I knew I could trust you guys!

Just today I was faced with this problem: I cannot start Amarok. Whenever I try to start it, it hangs with the flash graphics: Amarok - rediscover your music. I cannot start it from K-menu nor from terminal. This is the info in terminal: [dude67@localhost ~]$ amarok -v Qt: 4.6.2 KDE Development Platform: 4.4.3 (KDE 4.4.3) Amarok: 2.3.1 [dude67@localhost ~]$ amarok -d Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing.

BTW it was a similar comment from Canon customer care that pushed me away from their printers. They said they would have no support for Linux systems. And I haven't bought a Canon since.
