Modern PHP isn't as bad as it used to be, but I'd still avoid it in favor of newer languages. I have this problem with Ruby. A lot of people started writing Ruby code. Do you have any problems with roundcube? Cheers, R0b0t1

The kernel binds and unbinds the USB device in a loop pegging the CPU. I'm mentioning it here in case it is related (the USB part), but sadly I have no solution for it yet. :-( -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I last used it without any problem 180626. Since then, I've updated my kernel & some other pkgs. I've checked the USB physical connection ; the scanner 'ready' light is on. I've remerged 'xsane' & 'sane-backends' & rebooted. Following my notes, I've done : root:500 ~> sane-find-scanner ... found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x013b [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:001:004 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. # It may or may not be supported by SANE. # Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. root:501 ~> scanimage -L device `epkowa:interpreter:001:004' is a Epson Perfection V550 Photo flatbed scanner The first time I ran these commands (I don't remember which), the scanner itself made the noises it usually does when starting. This model needs a driver which is not included in 'sane-backends' & which I downloaded from Nvidia & installed when I got the scanner 2017. The 'epkowa' driver is installed : root:505 ~> locate epkowa /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-epkowa.la /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1.0.15 /usr/lib64/sane/archive/libsane-epkowa.la /usr/lib64/sane/archive/libsane-epkowa.so.1 /usr/lib64/sane/archive/libsane-epkowa.so.1.0.15 My user is a member of the 'scanner' group : scanner:x:104:purslow I am puzzled : does anyone have a suggestion what to do next ? Does the scanner currently show up if you do "lsusb" ? Does dmesg say anything when you plug the scanner in? Is it possible that the driver needs updating to deal with a newer kernel? Jack
Re: [gentoo-user] scanner problem
> Since then, I've updated my kernel & some other pkgs. You build your own kernel or rely on modules to handle it all? Any idea what modules you've rebuilt since the last use of the scanner? As a sanity check you might want to take a look at VueScan. Hamerick does a nice to of just making things work. Might give some better error messages -- it's also a nice package, worth a few bucks to have something that Just Works and also helps support someone who actually releases software for Linux. Depending on which syslogger you use, create /var/log/debug with debug-level output (no idea how to do this with systemd), zero the log, and tail -f it while you plug in the scanner, try to use it. I normally keep /var/log/messages w/ *.info, auth.none and have logrotate switch it out frequently (daily) at 1MiB. You only need it once to make it worth the disk space :-) Try: ( strace sane /var/tmp/sane.strace.out 2>&1; and see what it's trying to open when it fails to get the file. It might not be the device itself that is botching the process but a secondary file that got stepped on. Try: find /etc -name '._cfg*'; any of them affect scanning, dbus, usb (anything else that might be used by sane)? -- Steven Lembark 1505 National Ave Workhorse Computing Rockford, IL 61103 lemb...@wrkhors.com+1 888 359 3508
