Looking for devices matching vendor...
You may find messages like this appearing in your console log, repeating rapidly. Unwanted consequences of this are that your log files grow rapidly, and your system will not sleep.
The most frequent occurrence of this message comes from Canon scanner software for the LiDE 20 LiDE 30 scanners:
Looking for devices matching vendor ID=1193 and product ID=8717
Looking for devices matching vendor ID=1193 and product ID=8718
Vendor ID 1193 is Canon. The devices (product ID) are Canon scanners: 8717 refers to the LiDE 20 and 8718 to the LiDE 30.
The message is caused by the software that handles the front panel buttons on these scanners. Unfortunately, Canon installs the software for both models of scanner, and the one for the scanner you don't have is not detecting a scanner and complaining by writing to the log file, thus keeping your machine awake. Equally if your scanner is not connected, you may get both messages.
Look in your login items for either
- N067u-buttonmanager (LiDE 20 scanner), or
- N124u-buttonmanager (LiDE 30 scanner).
If you do not want to make use of the scanner front panel, you can disable the login item for its button manager. This is especially valuable for portable computers.
