"I mounted the SMB shares via fstab..."

Confirmed... fixed it for me too.  69GB imported without issue.

Thanks for that,

David...

[Bug 1489419] Re: Banshee crashes whilst scanning library on remote server

2016-05-26 Thread Fixerdave
Note there is another related Bug #1533480.
Does not seem to be SMB specific.

People are having some success with turning off various plugins and/or
letting the media update plugin work without doing a manual import.
Neither resolves for me.  May be related to media library size.  I'm
only getting about 13GB of 80GB imported.  Each run imports a little bit
more before crashing.

This is with Ubuntu 16.4 gnome, x64, and I ended up with some KDE
backend.

2016-05-25 Thread Fixerdave
Same problem... took a bit to discover Banshee shows up as "Main Thread"
in the ps list.

Anyway, lsof log attached.  Basically ran the command a few times, once before 
and then as many times as I could before it crashed out.  Later runs have lots 
of repeated:
Main\x20T 6052 fixerdave  290u  a_inode   0,110 8006

[Bug 358970] Re: gscan2pdf distorts image with scanimage.pl frontend, but works with scanadf frontend

2009-11-02 Thread Fixerdave
>> Where's the option for this?

> In Edit/Preferences.

Ha... starred right at it and didn't see it.  Thanks.  And, yes, it
worked just fine with scanimage picked.

As far as I'm concerned, it's fixed :)  I'm a happy camper... well, make that a 
happy scanner.
Thanks for the hint.

If you want to pursue this and there's any testing I can do, let me
know.  Otherwise, good luck with Bug #424249; that's way more important
than this.

David...

P.S.  Just to be clear, the HP LaserJet 3200 is an old piece of junk,
given to me because the person that bought it could NEVER get it to scan
under Windows.  I mean, it shipped with a W98 driver CD.  Right from the
get-go, it worked better with Ubuntu than it ever did under XP.  Not
great, but better.  I wouldn't waste more than a few minutes on this
thing; honestly, I'd have already thrown it in the bin if it wasn't so
heavy.  Kind of glad I didn't now.

[Bug 424249] Re: locks when trying to save as PDF

2009-11-01 Thread Fixerdave
Here's an interesting bit to add:

I scanned a 3-page document (greyscale), but, as per this bug, couldn't
save as a PDF.  So, I saved it as jpg (3 separate images).  Then, after
exiting and going back in to gscan2pdf, I created a new document
(project?) and imported those 3 pages.  This saved as PDF just fine.

Somehow, the act of scanning is mucking up gscan2pdf.  Importing instead
of scanning (the exact same images scanned earlier) will bypass the bug
and allow saving to pdf.

It's at least an easy work-around.

Hope this helps,

   David...

[Bug 358970] Re: gscan2pdf distorts image with scanimage.pl frontend, but works with scanadf frontend

2009-11-01 Thread Fixerdave
I'm also now getting distortion with gscan2pdf.  Not sure about the
scanimage.pl front-end bit.  Where's the option for this?

Here's what I do know:

Everything worked great with Ubuntu v8.10.  Last week, I scanned in a
480 page book and it was great (awesome program by the way).  I just
upgraded to Ubuntu v9.10 and it stopped working.

Details:
Scanner in question is an HP LaserJet 3200 (all in one), locally attached via 
USB.  Another scanner, an Epson v300 with the extra drivers, did scan in just 
fine with gscan2pdf, so it's something specific to the HP.  (there is another 
bug with the Epson: Bug #424249, but that's a different story).

The HP scanner works fine with Xsane, so the scanner does actually work.

The distortions are horizontal banding and repeating.  The very top of
the page is fine, but then bits just get repeated and shuffled
horizontally as well.  The size of the repeated areas seem to be
dependent on resolution; higher res, giving smaller areas repeated more
often.

I do have a work-around... I can scan to jpg pages via xsane and then
import those images to gscan2pdf, which (despite Bug #424249) I can save
as a PDF just fine.  (I'll add this part as a comment on the that bug
too).

Again, gscan2pdf is a great program.  Even without the ability to scan
from my particular scanner, I'm still using it to make the PDFs.  I hope
this information helps you make it even better.

[Bug 328712] [NEW] notecase password in PPC - byte order wrong

2009-02-12 Thread Fixerdave
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: notecase

This only effects PowerPC (PPC) distributions.

The PPC build of Notecase does not do the byte order properly and this
makes passwords incompatible across platforms.  Thus, Notecase files
encrypted under Ubuntu PPC will not open on other platforms, and vice-
versa.  They can be unencrypted locally, but will report an incorrect
password (even though it is correct) when unencrypting on a different
platform.

The Notecase author, that is no longer working on the FOSS version of
Notecase, suggested I try putting the following in the make file:

BYTE_ORDER=-DSHA1_BIG_ENDIAN -DORDER_ABCD

This works; problem solved.

As of this reporting, Ubuntu v8.10 installs Notecase v1.9.1.  The above fixes 
the problem.
The latest version of Notecase, v1.9.8 has a bunch of switches in the make file 
that appear to switch the byte-order after detecting the HW platform.  It 
doesn't work with Ubuntu PPC either.  Putting the above byte_order setting 
above and below the switch section of the make file (I know, just a shotgun 
approach) fixed the problem.

I suppose someone with more skill than I in make files could add correct
detection of the Ubuntu PPC platform...

NOTE!  - Obviously, people that have encrypted Notecase files should
save unencrypted versions before fixing the above problem.  They will
lose the ability to decrypt the pre-fix files.  This will obviously
complicate an automated patch fix update --  I have no idea how to deal
with that.
