03:22 🔗 godane i just passed 33k videos in g4video-web collection
04:43 🔗 godane http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=T8Jiwo3u6Vo
06:03 🔗 godane here is my debug when trying to detect my scanner: http://pastebin.com/Bggb3bgp
06:04 🔗 godane found out that i needed this before scanimage -L to get debug info that i needed : export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=10
06:04 🔗 godane this is the main error that i noticed: sanei_usb_open failed: No such file or directory (2)
06:25 🔗 godane so some good news
06:26 🔗 godane i found the device file name
06:26 🔗 godane /dev/usbdev1.6
06:26 🔗 godane but scanimage and xsane still can't read it
06:26 🔗 godane even though it has root.scanner groups
06:26 🔗 godane even has root it will not read it
07:11 🔗 godane are any of you guys here?
07:11 🔗 godane i need help with this
07:58 🔗 Smiley godane: ;/
08:00 🔗 godane hey Smiley
08:00 🔗 godane any ideas?
08:04 🔗 Smiley Not really bud, however /dev/usbdev doesn't sound right to me
08:05 🔗 Smiley [plustek] ># device /dev/usbscanner<
08:05 🔗 Smiley [plustek] >device /dev/input/event0<
08:05 🔗 Smiley It's not looking where you said, it's looking at /dev/input...
08:06 🔗 Smiley sane-find-scanner << does this work?
08:06 🔗 godane i found out that it was /dev/usbdev1.6
08:06 🔗 godane then /dev/usbdev1.4
08:06 🔗 godane but it still will not work
08:07 🔗 godane its even has scanner group in it
08:07 🔗 Smiley that sounds like thats just the port.
08:07 🔗 Smiley not the device.
08:07 🔗 Smiley i maybe completely wrong, can you wgetpaste /var/log/messages
08:08 🔗 godane don't worry about this
08:08 🔗 godane i may just dump this distro after all
08:08 🔗 Smiley I'm interested in whats wrong though
08:08 🔗 Smiley if we can work out why, we can fix it in _any_ distro
08:09 🔗 godane even though there was alot of work in slitaz that i just think its too buggy
08:16 🔗 Smiley try some live cd for ubuntu or mint? just to see if they "just work" ?
08:18 🔗 norbert79 Would be worth creating a live CD with some storage possibility too to check if it's not a question of missing modules
08:19 🔗 norbert79 unetbootin can do so
08:19 🔗 norbert79 so it can store changes 'permanent'
08:19 🔗 godane slitaz is a livecd
08:19 🔗 godane i have customized it to keep changes
08:19 🔗 norbert79 sounds like a Slax rewrite from the name
08:20 🔗 godane it was not
08:20 🔗 godane but i added slax scripts to it
08:20 🔗 norbert79 exactly.. How old is the hardware you are trying using it on?
08:20 🔗 godane 2 years old
08:21 🔗 godane amd x4 i think
08:21 🔗 norbert79 any recent Ubuntu would work too
08:21 🔗 norbert79 I would try with a generic Ubuntu or Xubuntu
08:21 🔗 godane downloading ubuntu now
08:21 🔗 norbert79 not worth spending too much work unless you know your hardware works
08:21 🔗 godane yes
08:21 🔗 norbert79 I once was faced with an issue where an ethernet card wasn't working properly.. Turned out that the kernel was missing a module in 3.2 but was available in 3.5
08:22 🔗 norbert79 wasted 2 days
08:22 🔗 godane but i still wanted us to make a autobot source distro at somepoint
08:22 🔗 norbert79 Sure
08:22 🔗 norbert79 but make sure you are not missing anything first
08:22 🔗 norbert79 might be a missing module, a library, anything
08:23 🔗 godane most of my problem is i have been doing by myself
08:23 🔗 norbert79 if it refuses with generic Ubuntu with all modules installed (including kernel restricted) etc you can't be sure
08:23 🔗 godane so i don't know if i'm missing something
08:23 🔗 norbert79 same, that's why I turned to a bit more 'automatic' methods :)
08:23 🔗 godane i don't think its the kernel
08:23 🔗 godane slitaz detect its
08:23 🔗 norbert79 sure
08:24 🔗 godane just doesn't want to use it or thinks it doesn't exist
08:24 🔗 norbert79 lspci isn't chatty either I assume
08:30 🔗 godane anyways going to bed
08:30 🔗 godane still uploading tons of g4 videos so that is that to do
08:31 🔗 norbert79 Good night then :)
11:54 🔗 dashcloud http://www.dadhacker.com/blog/?p=2000 Mike Culbert, chief technologist on the Apple Newton, died of cancer
14:47 🔗 Smiley god today I am so bored
14:47 🔗 Smiley time to do some more archiving after i grab a drink
19:04 🔗 godane http://hypervocal.com/culture/2013/strippers-money-one-shift/
19:05 🔗 omf_ I liked what the Newton was trying to do. I used the handwriting software on it and I was impressed at the time
