Hardware drivers for all Linux

Submitted by Lowrider on Wed, 12/30/2009 - 10:21

Hallo All,

I want your opinion:

HP is a worldwide company with a lot of power in development. I am using openSUSE 11.2 on my m9090 desktop. So I am a user (not a dummy). During installation I found out the following:

I have a Scanjet G4050, a very nice scanner -> but not supported under Linux. Most support comes from the SANE project, which is Linux independent. But since this scanner is on the market, it is unsupported by this project.
With printers it starts to be better now with the development of the HPLib. But what is neccessary for HP: To support all HP-products for Linux. This must be the goal for a company like HP.
So let's go back to the scanner: The hardware is up-to-date, there are drivers for Windows 7 and Vista, but non for Linux -> what a shame! If I had the time to do something, I would like to ask the SANE project to implement our drivers. A lot of possibilities exists. HP has the force to improve such development.

Using the iLO2 VSP for a text-friendly console

Submitted by dannf on Tue, 12/15/2009 - 16:17

The iLO2 provides a couple of graphical console mechanisms - but that's not so convenient for doing a remote console log, or for cut & pasting a kernel panic message, and can also be a hassle to access through some firewall setups. I prefer to ssh to the iLO and use the VSP (Virtual Serial Port) as a console. Here's a blog entry from a couple years ago that explains the VSP setup, using a Debian install as an example.

List of Ubuntu Validated Laptops and Netbooks

HP only has two minis that are Ubuntu Validated. It looks like HP is falling behind the curve, and consumers most likely will have to look to Dell to provide for their Linux needs. Apparently Dell is more pro freedom of OS choice.
