Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.

For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant.

They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own. To receive this Complete Guide absolutely free. I posted my first calls for help on the Linux Mint forum but came away disappointed by the limited amount of help I received. It may have been my fault for overwhelming them with a Wall of Text (aka WoT) - so I will be careful not to make the same mistake here. Finally, today, someone on that forum suggested that I should have posted my questions to '.a more generic forum' and suggested this one. So here I am. If you would like to see the full details of my situation, please follow the above link to see them.

It includes very-detailed - hopefully comprehensive - information. I'll net out my current situation here (also summarized in the very-last post on that forum): In ' I found this description in the Symptom/Problem/Solution table that very-closely matches what I have been seeing: 'The scanner passes power-up initialization fine (no fast blinking), and is recognized by a computer (in Windows - Device Manager), BUT - Nikon Scan does NOT see it.'

The notes say: In every case (that I saw), it was caused by a failed SAA7356HL, with the following additional information:. Yep, this may be hardware problem. And I have found a very-nice man, with countless happy customers, who will fix it for me: Alex Ketzner (abstudios@live.com). The basic servicing on an LS-4000 is $190. And he no longer replaces individual chips, so I'd need to replace the whole motherboard for an additional $350. Needless to say, I am more than a little reluctant to spend $540 (plus shipping costs) on a 17-year-old scanner.:-) One of my key motivations for trying to make this scanner work with Linux was for its presumably greater openness and better diagnostic capabilities.

So, PLEASE, someone help me here: If a hardware problem, failing IEEE-1394 (Firewire) controller, is my hypothesis, how can I prove (or disprove) it with Linux? Is there a UDEV debug mode that I could turn on in order to see exactly what Linux is seeing from the scanner? Quote: For scanners with a SCSI interface, it may be necessary to edit the appropriate backend configuration file before using SANE for the first time. For most systems, the configuration file should list the name of the generic SCSI device that the scanner is connected to (e.g., under Linux, /dev/sg4 or /dev/sge is such a generic SCSI device). It is customary to create a symlink from /dev/scanner to the generic SCSI device that the scanner is connected to.

In this case, the configuration file simply lists the line /dev/scanner. Check the device node permissions as well. Dear Ferrari, Thank you for both of your replies. While I've been experimenting with Linux for a few weeks now, I am still pretty much a newbie with it.

I've also tried many things including installing both the coolscan2 and coolscan3 backends. It never occurred to me that they might conflict with each other (as you are suggesting commenting out the unneeded one). So I just now opened up /etc/sane.d/dll.conf to see what I could see and, much to my surprise, it appears that coolscan2 is commented out already. I do not think I did it.

Maybe coolscan2 was commented out by the installation of coolscan3? Code: bob@bob-ThinkPad-T520 $ lsscsi -g 0:0:0:0 disk ATA HTS721010G9SA00 C14V /dev/sda /dev/sg0 1:0:0:0 cd/dvd HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT33N LT20 /dev/sr0 /dev/sg1 6:0:0:0 disk LS-4000 ED 1. /dev/sdb /dev/sg2 bob@bob-ThinkPad-T520 $ ls -l /dev/sg. crw-rw- 1 root disk 21, 0 Mar 15 09:59 /dev/sg0 crw-rw-+ 1 root cdrom 21, 1 Mar 15 09:59 /dev/sg1 crw-rw- 1 root disk 21, 2 Mar 15 22:09 /dev/sg2I realize that there's a permissions problem with the above. So here's how I have tried to fix it. Code: bob@bob-ThinkPad-T520 $ sudo chgrp scanner /dev/sg2 sudo password for bob: bob@bob-ThinkPad-T520 $ sudo chmod 660 /dev/sg2 bob@bob-ThinkPad-T520 $ ls -l /dev/sg. crw-rw- 1 root disk 21, 0 Mar 15 09:59 /dev/sg0 crw-rw-+ 1 root cdrom 21, 1 Mar 15 09:59 /dev/sg1 crw-rw- 1 root scanner 21, 2 Mar 15 22:09 /dev/sg2Now it seems like that should work yet neither sane-find-scanner, nor xsane, nor vuescan can find the scanner.

Now, of course, I'd rather not have to do the chgrp and chmod every time I want to use the scanner but I don't know what config to change in order to get it to come up right in the first place. Of course, this is all back on the assumption that something is wrong with my software and/or configuration (which could well be the case), but my latest hypothesis is that this is indeed a hardware problem with the scanner. I've arrived at that conclusion based upon a very, very helpful web site where I found a pretty accurate description of what I am seeing with the scanner: Because I am seeing 'The scanner passes power-up initialization fine (no fast blinking), and is recognized by a computer (in Windows - Device Manager), BUT - Nikon Scan does NOT see it.' He says: 'In every case (that I saw), it was caused by a failed SAA7356HL.' (That's the IEEE 1394 controller chip.) Which brings me back around to my opening question in this thread: Can you - or anyone - suggest any way I might be able to test and either prove or disprove the hypothesis that my problem is indeed a hardware problem?

(Some sort of debug feature somewhere - and knowing what bytes to look at??) I'm still happy to experiment with software and configurations if anyone has any suggestions of things I might try. But, given my inexperience, you'll need to be pretty prescriptive about what I need to do.;-) Thanks, BobLx. Thanks for your thoughts AwesomeMachine and thanks again Ferrari, If you guys knew how long I've been messing with this scanner, you'd laugh out loud (my family already is)! Between my brother, his wife, myself, my wife, and one of our two sons, we have five Computer Science degrees (two from UVA, two from VA Tech, and one from UNC). Here's the thing (and probably more than you'd like to know):.

About six year ago, my son and I set up our old slide projector pointing at a white wall with a camera on a tripod pointing at the same place. We went through 10 carousels of slides (140 slides per carousel), click, click, click.

As crazy as it sounds, what we ended up with was pretty decent! Amusingly, there is a very-expensive ($3000+) new slide scanner out on the market that looks almost like what we did - except that they had the great idea of pointing the camera straight into the projector (with some obvious modifications). Now I am trying to clean out and my old Kodak slide projector has stopped working (a plastic gear, I think). I'd like to get rid of the projector, the old projection screen, and all of those bulky carousels (I'll save the actual slides for now, though I am not sure why).

My wife and I looked through all of those digital photos and picked the ones that we thought were worth the effort of trying to get a better-quality scan. My older brother kindly offered to let me try to get his old Nikon Coolscan scanner to work - though he warned me that there might be a problem finding drivers that would work. (He's almost certainly laughing the hardest at this point.) So I started messing with the Nikon scanner.

In an early partial success, I got a glimpse of the quality this scanner can deliver and it is substantially better than what my son and I achieved with the camera and the wall. In frustration with my inability to get the Nikon scanner to work, I tried a scanner my Dad bought for about $100 at BestBuy (stand alone scanner that you manually push the slides through and doesn't even require a computer except to unload the CF card). Pictures from that scanner were no better than what my son and I had achieved with our crude, but much faster, approach. In addition, my brother's Nikon scanner has a 50-slide auto feeder, which would be a LOT less painful than individually scanning each slide.

Out of all of this, I set my sights back on trying to make the Nikon scanner work - and embarked on my journey to learn Linux (which can't be all bad anyway). With that all said, I am an old networking guy and, back in the day, we could trouble shoot problems by turning on traces and watching what goes over the wire.

Nikon Coolscan 4000 Review

I'm not really interested in tracing the IEEE 1394 interface but what about the software (is it called a driver in Linux) that handles that interface, and what about the software that figures out this is a Nikon Scanner (is that UDEV?)? Looking at the output from my lsscsi -g, it appears that Linux think my scanner is a disk drive. That can't be good.;-) Ferrari: Thanks for suggesting that I look at coolscan3.conf. Here's what it looks like. Code: # coolscan3.conf: sample configuration file for coolscan3 backend # # The following entrie checks for your scanner by manufacturer (SCSI) # and by vendor and product ID (USB).

This is what the backend does when # no configuration file can be found. # auto # You can also configure the backend for specific device files, but this # should not normally be necessary (under Linux at least). # Syntax for specific devices:: # # For a SCSI scanner, uncomment and edit the following line: #scsi:/dev/scanner # # For a USB scanner, uncomment and edit the following line: #usb:/dev/usbscanner # # For an IEEE 1394 scanner, use the SBP2 protocol (under Linux, use the # sbp2 kernel module), and your scanner will be handled as a SCSI device.I'v been down this path before too. Unfortunately for me, I don't understand what it is saying about the SBP2 protocol. Is that another config file that I need to go and look?

Also, here's the output from the ls -l /dev/scanner. Code: bob@bob-ThinkPad-T520 $ ls -l /dev/scanner ls: cannot access '/dev/scanner': No such file or directoryOn the 'good news' side, I've contacted the guy who posted those troubleshooting web pages and he would be willing to replace that IEEE 1394 controller chip for me at the more-reasonable cost of $100 - as long as I disassemble the scanner and give him just the motherboard. Again, though, before I go through the process of taking this scanner apart and paying this guy $100 to replace a chip, I sure would like to make sure that I've got everything else right. Thanks again for hanging with me on this and trying to help.
