Re: Sane Scanner Resolution Configuration

I cannot find the "Bind X and Y resolutions" option in Window - Show Advanced Options or Preferences - Setup. But your Sane works and mine works, so everybody is happy. Yep, it is good to be working especially when xsane scans the background colours, where the native epson scanner under windows doesn't retain the background colours even though the option to remove background colours is not selected. In my xsane, if I select Window->Show advance options, the options that are listed are 'Bind X and Y resolutions', Gamma (set to 1.8), JPEG Quality (set to 90) and Transfer Size (set to 1048). What causes the first checkbox to be displayed I have no idea, unless it has something to do with the imagescan software being installed, as sane is using the imagescan configuration file to access the scanner. regards, Steve Mike On 7/22/20 6:40 PM, Stephen Morris wrote: Thanks Mike, I had a look at your 'CANON:Canoscan9000FMarkII.drc' and it only has one line for Resolution which you have set at 300 as I do. My Epson drc file has two entries for Resolution, an X resolution and a Y resolution, which are reflected as such in the xsane gui where I have a 'Resolution in the X direction' dropdown and a 'Resolution in the Y direction' dropdown. After looking at your drc file I have now resolved the issue with the two resolution dropdowns being disabled. In the xsane advanced settings I had the checkbox for 'Bind X and Y resolutions' selected and when I unselected that checkbox the two resolution options became selectable and I could then select one of the 16 resolutions displayed for each of the X and Y resolutions, each of which if desired can be set to different values. I'm also not sure if my scanner supports all the resolutions being made available. I know it supports resolutions of 75, 150, 300, 600 and 1200, but I'm not sure if it supports the rest. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

But, will investigate. FWIW nmcli connection modify US-East-NJ vpn.secrets "password=something" Works just fine for a logged-in user. Well, I ssh-ed in as root, using an ssh cert. I guess that doesn't count. This is in a server context. The server wants a VPN tunnel of its own, rather than any particular user. It's not clear to me if it's NetworkManager itself that defaults to a user- set password. Maybe there's something in the openvpn configuration file that chooses whether to set up a user-centric or server-centric VPN, and this VPN provider is supplying user-centric configuration files. And I was able to reproduce the broken SELinux context, starting from scratch. "nmcli import" creates /root/.cert, if it does not exist, with a broken SELinux context.

My only point/thought was that = could me more option than just password. And, even if there wasn't, "option" should be documented.

Configure your PC as a file server. There are any number of ways to do this, including Samba (CIFS) and NFS, depending on what the use case is. poc ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

I have a USB stick that I can edit so I will try this and report back. I did what was suggested, boot a Live CD and install onto another USB. Because the sticks I have are only 8GB I need to use a Fedora Server live CD to get the install size to fit. KE did not fit for example. I got as far are replacing lvm vgchange --monitor y with sleep 30. And the stick then boots.

Would you be the only user of the drive? Would you be using the drive only from a Fedora host? Do you expect the usage to be heavy? The drive needs to be always available or from time to time?
