[repost, in dire hope of someone who can help?] Hey there,
I have a problem with a Brother MFC-9465CDN that I access through a "scanner server" running saned. The problem is that most scans fail with an "out of memory" message. However, I can scan fine when using scanimage on the server directly, the problem is when going through saned. This machine does not have a whole lot of ooomph, but 1Gb of RAM should be enough. In any case, there is still free memory (according to top) at the time of the error. Is this a problem with saned or the machine it's running on, or a problem with the scanner? To me, it seems that the out-of-memory message comes from the scanner, but maybe I am misinterpreting the debug output (see below). Thanks for any help! Here is the client output: % scanimage -d 'net:scanner.is:brother4:net1;dev0' -p --mode 'Black & White' --resolution 300 --source 'Automatic Document Feeder(left aligned)' >| /tmp/s scanimage: rounded value of br-x from 215.9 to 215.88 scanimage: rounded value of br-y from 355.6 to 355.567 scanimage: sane_read: Out of memory Here is the server debug output: [saned] start_scan: trying to bind data port 0 [saned] start_scan: using port 36052 for data [saned] process_request: waiting for data connection [saned] process_request: access to data port from 2001:a60:f10a:0:224:d7ff:fe04:c82c [saned] do_scan: start [saned] do_scan: trying to read 8188 bytes from scanner [saned] do_scan: read 8188 bytes from scanner [saned] do_scan: processing RPC request on fd 4 [saned] process_request: waiting for request [saned] process_request: got request 6 [saned] do_scan: trying to write 8192 bytes to client [saned] do_scan: wrote 8192 bytes to client [saned] do_scan: trying to read 8188 bytes from scanner [saned] do_scan: read 8188 bytes from scanner [?] [saned] do_scan: trying to write 7976 bytes to client [saned] do_scan: wrote 7976 bytes to client [saned] do_scan: trying to read 212 bytes from scanner [saned] do_scan: read 0 bytes from scanner [saned] do_scan: status = `Out of memory' [saned] do_scan: statuscode `Out of memory' was added to buffer [saned] do_scan: trying to write 9 bytes to client [saned] do_scan: wrote 9 bytes to client [saned] do_scan: done, status=Out of memory -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck at d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems this message represents the official view of the voices in my head. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
