SCSIADDGUI - README

This little program provides a graphical user interface for scsiadd.
It allows to add your scanner (or whatever SCSI device) to your system without having to reboot.

INSTALLATION

The easiest way is the install via rpm with

cd <source directory> && rpm -ivh scsiaddgui-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

or with a mouse-click in your browser.

Or you untar the tar.bz2 version and install the program with

cd <source directory>/scsiaddgui-1.0 && ./install

In both cases the files will be copied to /usr/local/share/scsiaddgui .

After this you may start the program with the command "scsiaddgui".

Please note before installation:

You need Python, Tkinter, Tix and (of course) scsiadd.
If you are uncertain if you have all these installed, please check this.

If it doesn't work:

If the window opens but no devices are found, the cause might be that you are not logged
in as "root".
I configured scsiaddgui to allow access to non-privileged users by default,
but only "root" will be able to add or remove devices.

Some releases of RedHat and Debian come with a broken Tix. In this case I'm afraid only
a new installation of Tcl/Tk and Tix will help. Maybe your Distribution has already an
update for you.


If it still doesn't work or if you find a bug, please mailto:
