Hi All,
Approaching the 2 Uni's re some funding for a venue or even to provide the
venue (as said before) would be a useful start - we found they're
interested re computing related events eg. the ITMegaMeet, as it ties in
academically.

How did you try to install it?

# yum localinstall /path/to/iscan-2.29.2-1.usb0.1.ltdl7.x86_64.rpm \
/path/to/iscan-data-1.24.0-2.noarch.rpm

?

What was the precise output?

> Aaaaah but you did not try it!!

Just have, albeit on F17, and it installed. I can't test it further, as I
don't have the same scanner.

HTH,
Alex

I think I may have tried the wrong one!
I tried ltdl3 and it complained that I did not have the ltdl.so.3.
I do have the 7 though.

see above

Just got it installed on my laptop while watching F1 practice.
it starts but reports no scanner to initiate - which was true!

So it looks though I can install it and I will at least be able to get
basic scanner functions but maybe not the film scanning part.

Got some jobs and watch "Strictly"!

Will confirm how/if it works later.

Just got it installed on PC and rebooted just in case module was not loaded!

All cables connected and scanner powered up, started iscan and get window:

"Iscan Could not sent command to scanner. Check the scanner's status".

It is connected and has a green light so I assumed it was OK.


FYI:

Sane reports 2 scanners!:
[peter@study ~]$ sane-find-scanner

# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the

[peter@study ~]$ scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

Do I have a permission problem, if so what needs changing?

At least I have iscan installed.

I had a look at my modules and cannot see anything related to a scanner
but I am not sure what module should be loaded!

Will have a read and another look tomorrow.

No not yet, and won't be until after another organisers meeting on
Thursday 24th October, where the plan is too turn one of the potential
venues into the venue.
