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