Bug#810919: libsane: libusb_bulk_write returns "Resource temporarily unavailable"

2016-05-07 Thread Steve Graham
I totally agree with Adrian. My patch was just a workaround, but I thought it was worth documenting, because I did an internet search when I first experienced the problem, and other people with different scanners were reporting similar symptoms. I haven't investigated further, but it did occur

Changing the line in /usr/share/cups/mime/mime.types from application/pdf pdf regex(0,^[\\n\\r]*%PDF) to application/pdf pdf regex(0,^[\n\r]*%PDF) also results in PDF spooled files being recognised correctly.

Package: libsane Version: 1.0.24-13 The file /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules uses the command "/bin/setfacl -m g:scanner:rw $env{DEVNAME}" to add the "scanner" group with rw access to the device permissions. In my case, with /dev on an ext4 filesystem with no ACL support enabled in the kern

Bug#741365: Unnecessary device-mapper errors - /usr/share/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib

I also have a system with no LVM requirement. The lines "/proc/devices: No entry for device-mapper found" are emitted by grub-probe. In general, the grub scripts redirect grub-probe's stderr to /dev/null to suppress these, but the subroutines in /usr/share/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib aren't complete

If you came here through an Internet search and are having similar problems, upgrading my kernel to a custom-compiled 3.5.0 seems to have fixed iwlwifi, provided the module has the following options: options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 wd_disable=1 swcrypto=1 power_save=0 5ghz_disable=1 Development

The laptop (Samsung NC110) which had this problem no longer has it, for no obvious reason. The kernel is unchanged. The one difference is that I was trying to boot a Knoppix installation from USB stick to see if it also had the usb problem and when the laptop couldn't see the device, I selected

And did you plug in a new HID device? Yes. Just to be clear, nothing untoward happens with usbhid.ko simply loaded, e.g directly via modprobe or automagically when a device is plugged in. But the first event, be it a mouse movement or a keystroke, causes particular applications to crash. I've

I copied /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions from a machine which had not been updated and this allowed update-initramfs to build a new, bootable ramdisk. Note For Googlers: I believe that the closed bug 659948 is a duplicate of this one, and it suggests "ln -s / /rootfs" as a workaround.
