@derobert OK. I was thinking of trying to write a script which uses sane, but didn't find a easy way to use sane without a GUI and decided that just scanning from the printer UI will save me time.
Lol, I am scanning to my mp3 player right now
forgot that the konsole in dolphin always points to the directory open above :)
It would almost make sense for scanning an unbound book fed through the feeding device - but in Xsane, there is an ADF option separately from the Flatbed option I chose.
Argh I am going crazy with this mp3 player
First it won't find the music I copied onto it
The rest of the music seems to be present twice
and now I decided to delete everything from it
it still finds 79 songs
maybe I should install that open source firmware everybody seems to like, maybe it works better.
Uncle Google says to do "sudo fsck.msdos -aw /dew/sdg1" (this is my card's letter), but I get dosfsck 3.0.12, 29 Oct 2011, FAT32, LFN open: No such file or directory
scanimage --batch --batch-prompt --source Flatbed seems to do what you want, thought it leaves a bunch of pnm files, which you'll need to process yourself. I see a pct-scanner-scripts package which may automate that
Looks like I broke the card completely. The mp3 player can't read it now, hangs at around 95%. And I can't use the mp3 player as anything - not even as a card mounting device - while it is trying to read a card :(
@derobert It had some more text in the error message beside the panic. Googling them led me to threads not connected to my problem at all :(
But then I connected it to USB without the card, and stuck the card into it after it was in USB mode. This way, I could read the card from the computer and run fsck on it.
It didn't work with the original firmware, but it seems that rockbox is more sensible about it.
But for some reason I can't delete a certain file.
> FAT-fs (sdh1): error, fat_free_clusters: deleting FAT entry beyond EOF [55923.193323] FAT-fs (sdh1): Filesystem has been set read-only
And then we have somebody who is advertising an uggs outlet store
I wouldn't accept uggs if they paid me for them, and they are trying to sell them at an outlet.
@derobert thank you, I think it worked. Right now I am in the process of copying 5.5 GB worth of music onto the card. The average speed is below 5 MiB/s.
@derobert The miniSDs are normally extremely slow.
I think they are planning newer generations now that smartphones can install apps on them, but the old ones are much slower than other types of flash. They are all optimised for minimal power usage, not for speed.
It is already copying Slayer, so I hope I have at least 2/3 done.
And I also noticed that with Rockbox, I can set the volume much louder than what was possible with the old firmware
It was so silent, I sometimes couldn't hear the music if standing at a busy street or some other loud environment. Now it can go very loud, I didn't check exactly how loud but it seemed to be capable of going much higher than what I tried before it got unpleasant.
