Re: Knoppix 7.0.3 LiveCD

Hi,

I was under the impression WINE supported USB, but it appears not to.

Q: Has anyone been able to hook WINE into the Universal Serial Bus?

thanks

Hi!

What kind of device do you want to use with WINE?

There is some information about USB support in the 'Official Wine Wiki' at http://wiki.winehq.org/USB but that page has been edited a long time ago ( 2011-11-10 09:58:19 ).

Dear klaus2008:

SANE does not support the hp scanner I use w/XP. Therefore, I figured WINE was a valid alternative. Are there other valid options, using Knoppix, to handle this device?

On the page Scanners not supported by SANE you can read that Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 4890 is unsupported by sane, but at http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=...commit&s=GL843 you can find out that there is some progress.

Knoppix 7.0.3 comes with an old libsane package (1.0.21-9). In the experimental branch of the Debian distribution you can find a more recent version of libsane (1.0.23). You could try to update SANE with the packages from the experimental branch and find out whether the scanner is supported by the newer libsane.

I would suggest that you boot off the Knoppix 7.0.3 CD and connect to the internet. Open an LXTerminal and issue the following commands.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libsane/experimental libsane-common/experimental libsane-extras/unstable sane-utils/experimental libsane-extras-common/unstable

Allow apt-get to overwrite the configuration file /etc/sane.d/dll.conf (enter 'Y' and press enter key).

Connect your scanner and issue

sane-find-scanner -v

Since the packages are from the experimental branch it is possible that the driver does not work properly. Therefore be prepared to unplug or switch off you scanner.

Hi,

The chipset used is GL843. I found the following article regarding its logic:

Q: Any tips how this chipset can be added to the backend?

Hey klaus2008!

Which INPUT is correct (Y/I/N/O/D/Z):

Configuration file `/etc/sane.d/dll.conf'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** dll.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?

Hi, luther!

In post #4 I suggested to overwrite the existing dll.conf with the new one because there were a few modifications.

Now that you have installed the new packages it is time to try the command 'sane-find-scanner -v'. HP Scanjet 4850 and 4890 share the same USB ID and HP Scanjet 4850 is included in the new /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf. Therefore I think you could try to use XSane from the menu .

I see that K 7.2 includes wine in version 1.5 (1.5.10-0knoppix1) - how to upgrade to wine 1.6?
The following commands (recommended to add ppa repository):
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
gives the following error (in a python script I think):
#######################################
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 125, in <module>
ppa_info = get_ppa_info_from_lp(user, ppa_name)

curl.perform()
pycurl.error: (77, 'Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)')

Anyone has a solution?
