openrc the system behind nemesis: printing as an example

Code: Select all

Scanning for brother did work the other day and now the debtap brscan4 module does not fit with simple-scan.

No way simple-scan will recognize my brother printer as a scanning device.

error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

 Multiple packages were detected. 

Would you like to merge them into one module? [y/n]^C[guest@porteus ~]$ 

Is this temporary problem or real problem?

[ncmprhnsbl]

could be a temporary thing.. did you pacman -Sy first?
a heads up: there are bunch of packages out of date in the base modules as of yesterday..

[francois]

1.0 Is there a way to flush changes without login out of nemesis? I find it much time consuming to do so to remove changes from another install like porteus for example.

2.0 Same result at second try. Impossible to build the printer module. Pacman -Sy will not be sufficient.

Heads up for you.

[ncmprhnsbl]

looking at one package on one of the mirrors: imagemagick-7.0.7.19-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is a different version to one you trying to get..
http://artix.wheaton.edu/repos/world/os ... pkg.tar.xz
so maybe

Code: Select all

pacman -Syy

to force rewriting the database

1.0 Is there a way to flush changes without login out of nemesis?

don't know, havn't used changes for years..

[francois]

Same problem with pacman -Syy.

[francois]

Solution:
Always fresh (without changes) will yield the printing module as proposed in the first post. So in the future, I will be building only in only fresh mode.
Thanks.

Plank module though functional before reboot will not be functional without the changes. So lets dig it in the thread for plank.

[francois]

Having some printing and scanning problem since december with nemesis.

Finally, the solution for the printing was with missing ghostscript and its associate dependencies. I downloaded the package with and followed stifiling instructions:
Porteus/Arch aka Sensei (Porteus w/pacman package manager)

Code: Select all

pacman -Sw ghostscript

Here is an old link with a simple procedure to install brscan4 scanner driver. You need to have yaourt:
http://neithere.net/2013/02/18/archlinu ... _7860.html

Code: Select all

$ yaourt -S brscan4-network
$ sudo brsaneconfig4 -a name=Brother_MFC-7860DW model=MFC-7860DW ip=192.168.000.107

This link provides also the printer driver installation.

Updated first post to build module instead of using pman. However, this is only temporary version. Though I have been able to obtain a functional module on another linux box. This time it did not work.

I know understand what is meant by necro bumping for the arch linux brains.The concept is important, especially for a rolling distro.

Thus this thread will soon be closed to be replaced by a new one.

[francois]

Not yet to a more recent version of this thread:
I am still on nemesis-xfce-20.02.04-x86_64.iso trying to build printer module, I get:

Code: Select all

[porteus guest]# system-config-printer
/usr/bin/python3: /usr/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by /usr/lib/libpython3.8.so.1.0)

and

Code: Select all

[porteus guest]# locate libc.so.6
/usr/lib/libc.so.6
[porteus guest]# 

What can I do?

Thank.

[ncmprhnsbl]

What can I do?

glibc is too old in that iso and i suspect just updating glibc would cause more problems than it would solve.
using the latest : 2020 Updated Nemesis Base Modules (Post by Blaze #79011) kindly provided by Blaze, would be the best approach..

[francois]

Blaze's iso works perfecly for me.

Printing is functional.

Thanks.
