oldcpu's meandering thoughts on Computers, GNU/Linux and openSUSE

Hi oldcpu
The deltafox repository links to mine the application release is 0.9 and the build is 2.1 since it's a copy of my build

Malcolmlewis was also kind enough to package gImageReader for openSUSE-12.3.

openSUSE-12.3

For information, to setup gImageReader to read/OCR German and French in opnSUSE-12.3, I followed the guide above, but instead for 12.3 modified it to (as root) using the following repositories/commands:

Code:

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Lazy_Kent/openSUSE_12.3/ kent-ocr
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/malcolmlewis:/Miscellanous/openSUSE_12.3/ malcolm
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/vodoo/openSUSE_12.3/ vodoo-ocr

followed by

Code:

zypper in myspell-french myspell-german aspell aspell-de aspell-en aspell-fr ispell-french ispell-german aspell-spell
zypper in tesseract tesseract-traineddata-deu tesseract-traineddata-eng tesseract-traineddata-fra python-gimagereader python-imaging

and then removed the repositories that I added during the install:

Code:

zypper rr malcolm
zypper rr kent-ocr
zypper rr vodoo-ocr

and then typed (as a regular user):

Code:

gimagereader

and performed an OCR test with a scanned French language page.

Note the above repositories that I used are not official repositories, but rather private repositories of various individuals. The rpms that are on those repositories, while present today, may not be present tomorrow.

openSUSE-13.1 gimagereader - Once again, Malcolmlewis was also kind enough to package gImageReader for openSUSE-13.1.

openSUSE-13.1

For information, to setup gImageReader to read/OCR German and French in opnSUSE-13.1, I modified the guide above since a number of the packages are now part of the baseline openSUSE repository, plus some names of packages have changed. I sent the following package manager commands to add Malcomlewis' repository and install the required packages:

First - to add Malcomlewis' repository :

Code:

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/malcolmlewis:/Miscellanous/openSUSE_13.1/ malcolm

Then to install the necessary applications :

Code:

zypper in myspell-french myspell-german aspell aspell-de aspell-en aspell-fr ispell-french ispell-german aspell-spell
zypper in tesseract tesseract-traineddata-german tesseract-traineddata-american tesseract-traineddata-french python-gimagereader python-imaging

Then finally remove Malcomlewis' repository (as I like to keep my repository list lean and fast) :

Code:

zypper rr malcolm

I then ran gimage reader with the command (in a terminal/konsole) :

Code:

gimagereader

................

Some messages that I noted during the install :

Code:

zypper in myspell-french myspell-german aspell aspell-de aspell-en aspell-fr ispell-french ispell-german aspell-spell

.......

The following NEW packages are going to be installed:
  aspell aspell-de aspell-en aspell-fr aspell-spell ispell-french ispell-german myspell-french myspell-german 

The following recommended package was automatically selected:
  aspell-en 

The following package is suggested, but will not be installed:
  aspell-ispell 

9 new packages to install.
Overall download size: 8.3 MiB. After the operation, additional 36.7 MiB will be used

and

Code:

zypper in myspell-french myspell-german aspell aspell-de aspell-en aspell-fr ispell-french ispell-german aspell-spell

.......

The following NEW packages are going to be installed:
  docbook_4 gnome-vfs2 gnome-vfs2-lang gstreamer-0_10-plugin-gnomevfs gtkspell-lang iso_ent libbonobo libbonobo-lang libbonoboui 
  libbonoboui-lang libgnome libgnomecanvas-2-0 libgnomecanvas-lang libgnome-lang libgnomeui libgnomeui-lang libgtkspell0 libIDL-2-0

  tesseract-traineddata-american tesseract-traineddata-french tesseract-traineddata-german tix tk xhost yelp yelp-xsl 

The following recommended packages were automatically selected:
  gnome-vfs2-lang gtkspell-lang libbonobo-lang libbonoboui-lang libgnomecanvas-lang libgnome-lang libgnomeui-lang 
  tesseract-traineddata-american yelp 

44 new packages to install.
Overall download size: 24.4 MiB. After the operation, additional 113.4 MiB will be used

where I obtained one error during the install (which does not appear to matter as near as I can currently determine) :

Code:

(30/44) Installing: libgnome-2.32.1-13.1.3 ...........................................................................................[done]
Additional rpm output:

(gconftool-2:7168): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

.

and then when I ran 'gimagereader' , while the application appears to run fine I noted the following error in a terminal:

Code:

(gimagereader:7195): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_set_qdata: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.98:/org/freedesktop/PackageKit: dbus.exceptions.IntrospectionParserException: Error parsing introspect data: <class 'xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError'>: unbound prefix: line 5, column 4

... but from a functional perspective, the app currently appears to work, albeit I have more testing to do.
.

openSUSE-13.2 gimagereader - Once again, Malcolmlewis was also kind enough to package gImageReader for openSUSE-13.2.

openSUSE-13.2

For information, to setup gImageReader to read/OCR German and French in opnSUSE-13.2, I modified the guide above since a number of the packages are either no longer required or not included.

First - to add Malcomlewis' repository (the below commands need to be sent with root permissions) :

Code:

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/malcolmlewis:/Miscellanous/openSUSE_13.2/ malcolm

Then to install the necessary applications :

Code:

zypper in aspell-de aspell-en aspell-fr ispell-french ispell-german aspell-spell

Code:

zypper in tesseract tesseract-traineddata-german tesseract-traineddata-american tesseract-traineddata-french python-gimagereader python-imaging

I obtained the error 'python-imaging' not found in package names. Trying capabilities. So it reads one no longer requires python-imaging.

... and finally to remove the repository :

Code:

zypper rr malcolm

Again, this can be launched with the command "gimagewriter".

Many thanks again to Malcomlewis for packaging gimagereader.
.

openSUSE-Leap-42.1. gimagereader - Once again, Malcolmlewis was also kind enough to package gImageReader for openSUSE-Leap-42.1.

openSUSE Leap-42.1

For information, to setup gImageReader to read/OCR German and French in opnSUSE-Leap-42.1, I modified the guide above since the packages are slightly different in Leap.

First - to add Malcomlewis' repository (the below commands need to be sent with root permissions) :

Code:

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/malcolmlewis:/openSUSE_General/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/ malcolm

Then to install the necessary applications :

Code:

zypper in aspell-de aspell-en aspell-fr ispell-french ispell-german aspell-spell

Code:

zypper in tesseract-ocr tesseract-ocr-traineddata-german tesseract-ocr-traineddata-english tesseract-ocr-traineddata-french 
zypper in gimagereader gimagereader-qt5

... and finally to remove the repository :

Code:

zypper rr malcolm

I launched gaimagreader with the command "gimagereader-q5 %U".

I did note the error:

Code:

QTextCursor::setPosition: Position '385' out of range

However gimagereader did come up ok, and I was able to conduct an OCR from French (JPEG with text) to English language

Many thanks again to Malcomlewis for packaging gimagereader.
