phptodo

I was having some problems setting up phptodo on my machine. Every time I tried to login it would bring me back to the login screen. It would tell me if I put the wrong password in, but if I put in the correct one it would just prompt me again.

Wasn't quite sure what the problem could be. I went throught the php code and couldn't find anything. I decided to e-mail the author and he mentioned that I should use the CVS code or just get the newest index.php file. This was his message:

Are you running version 0.1.1 or the latest CVS? There was a fix for
cookies that caused some setups to fail at login. If you're not running
the CVS version I suggest you give it a go (or just download the
index.php file from SF.net; http://tinyurl.com/9fsvy ).


This worked. Thanks Mattias Nordstrom!

PSC 1210 Scanning

I'm not exactly sure how I did it, but I was able to get scanning working with my scanner using hplip. It may have been the previous upgrade to libusb. I tried to install the newest version of hplip from source not by merging it. It errored during the make install stage. I tried to open the toolbox which failed so I started the hplip service and opened the toolbox and it worked. Couldn't beleive it. I have been scanning stuff since!

HP PSC 1210

After finding this page I decided to try and emerge hpoj again even though it always fails. It did like usual. It complained of a problem with some usb item being unresolved. I then checked to see if there was an update for libusb. There was, which I merged. I was then able to merge hpoj. I ran the configuration 'ptal-init setup' which ran through setting it up.

I then tried to start xsane but it complained about something with sane. I then re-merged sane-backends, sane-frontends, and xsane.

After trying all this I keep getting device busy errors when trying to start xsane. This occurs while it is searching for the scanner.
