Re: [PLUG] SANE not quite easy
I ended up using Simple Scan, it was a lot less problematic than Sane. I have a Epson, and an HP, both of them required the download of the drivers, but with Simple Scan, I did so and "It just worked". I have heard horror stories about scanning and either I have just had luck or it has just been that I got it all right, but I do not think that you have that much luck so must be something else On Tue, Jun 26, 2018 at 8:58 PM, Bruce Kilpatrick wrote: > On 06/26/2018 06:37 PM, Michael Rasmussen wrote: > >> I've acquired an Epson V500 flatbed scanner.

I have one of those since about 10 years ago, and it works for me. You might need to add yourself to the right groups. I don't remember doing anything special. I usually scan through gimp and xsane.

I've added myself to the scanner group and done a bit of unproductive googling. Some years ago I used an Epson Perfection 600, which connects via SCSI. I had some trouble with xsane when I first tried to use it and found my way to the a mailing list that Oliver Rauch, the writer and maintainer, monitored. He replied to my question and told me I needed some file (I think), which he supplied. After installing the file xsane worked fine. I haven't used it lately, but the last time I tried it, it scanned to a smaller output. I have another scanner and didn't have time to pursue it further.My scanner is quite old (1990s, bought for Windows 95), which makes it somewhat obscure, but based on my previous experience, I would expect good results from that mailing list. -- Regards, Dick Steffens ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
[PLUG] Interpreting memtest screen
While on my recent trip I was getting frequent errors when I started up Ubuntu 16.04 on my laptop, a ThnkpPad X200 Tablet. Now that I'm back and have the time I decided to run memtest86 to see if there were any memory problems. I started it last night and noted that it was progressing. This morning it appears hung. I'm using Memtest86 from a USB stick that has UbuntuMATE 18.04 on it. Here's what's on the screen: Memtest86+ 5.01 | Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU L9600 @ 2.13GHz CLK: 2128 MHz (X64 Mode) | Pass 82% ## L1 Cache: 32K 13055 MB/s | Test 48% ## L2 Cache: 6144K 9252 MB/s | Test #10 [Modulo 20, Random pattern] L3 Cache None | Testing 2048M - 3034M 986M of 3990M Memory : 3990M 3523 MB/s | Pattern f88c8ec6-7 | Time: 0:26:28 Core# 0 (SMP: Disabled) | RAM 532 MHz (DDR2-1064) = BCLK: 266 State: / Running... | Timings: CAS 7-7-7-20 @ 128-bit Mode Cores: 1 Active / 1 Total (Run: All) | Pass: 0 Errors: 0 Memory SPD Informations -- (This part of the screen is blank -- no red error messages) (The bottom line on the screen has:) (ESC)exit (c)configuration (SP)scroll_lock (CR)scroll_unlock The + after Memtest86, above, is red and blinking. Other than that, the screen has not changed since before I started typing this email. Am I correct that it is hung? If so, what is that telling me? I don't need to use the laptop for anything right now, so I'll leave it in its current condition for now, in case someone wants more info. Thanks for any advice.

Re: [PLUG] SANE not quite easy - Resolution
There is a guy in Seattle named Andrew Filer, who I met in a then-hackerspace called Metrix:Create who modified a Kodak Carousel projector in such a way as to backlight the slides (reduced wattage of the bulb, replaced the heat shield with frosted glass), basically used the projector as a slide advancing robot, removed the lens, and aimed a digital SLR with a macro lens back at the slide and photographed the slide. With some simple transistor circuits, you could automate the camera's shutter release and the slide advance. You could do a whole tray of slides in a few minutes with very little supervision. You need a digital SLR and a macro lens, preferably one with autofocus (as I discovered). But orders of magnitude less tedious than a flatbed scanner where you manually loaded slides into a holder, 12 at a time.

Re: [PLUG] Dns error on Ubuntu for hotspots
Are you using your own DNS server? It is possible that the captive portal is blocking your access to the DNS server of your choice. You might need to use the DHCP supplied DNS server in order for the captive portal to work.

Re: [PLUG] SANE not quite easy - Resolution
I would encourage you to scan a few negatives/transparencies, measure the time it takes and extrapolate to cover all your negatives/positives. When I did that years ago, I quickly realized that scanners are just too slow for what I wanted to do in a time given to me by mother nature - by couple of orders of magnitude, actually. Plus the scan quality was not that great either. The solutions to speed things up are either: a) adapter for your digital camera + automation. That way you can scan and postprocess hundreds of pictures a day instead of a few with slow scanners. With half decent DSLR, you will get high quality scans. b) send the stash out for someone else to scan them. There are a few big and decent companies still doing it. That is what I have eventually settled on. The price is good and the quality is decisively better than from a desktop scanner with transparency adapter. Until I went through this scanning discovery, I naively believed in great quality of film photography compared to digital. I was so wrong - today's digital imaging is vastly superior, especially to old/aged films.

Don't think so. How do I configure the DHCP service? This is stock Ubuntu... On Wed, Jun 27, 2018, 4:34 PM Russell Senior wrote: > Are you using your own DNS server?

Re: [PLUG] SANE not quite easy - Resolution
Some film processing is better than others. I have some excellent prints (and negatives) from early 1950s Germany, taken with a Leica by my dad and processed by a local camera shop there. He reported that the processing in the US was so bad when he got back to the States, that he sold the camera.
