I got this on Linux/Ubuntu 20.04.6 (kernel-version 5.15.0-92-generic): ```auto $ dmesg -T ::: [Tue May 28 09:33:58 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [Tue May 28 09:33:58 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [Tue May 28 09:33:58 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [Tue May 28 09:33:58 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [Tue May 28 09:33:58 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [Tue May 28 09:33:58 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [Tue May 28 09:33:58 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO ``` ---

Hi @IngFra, I can see this is inconvenient, but nothing we can do much about. It seems that not even CodeMeter is causing the message but a system call done by codeeter-info. You can try updating CodeMeter runtime to the latest version. ---

Trying CVB 14.01.002 and still get this “spam” in the dmesg-log: ```auto [ons okt 16 08:34:57 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:34:57 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:34:57 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:34:57 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:34:57 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:35:08 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:35:08 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:35:08 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:35:08 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:35:08 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:35:08 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:35:08 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:35:08 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:35:08 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:35:08 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:35:10 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:35:10 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:35:10 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:35:10 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO [ons okt 16 08:35:10 2024] program codemeter-info is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO ``` Also, there is an “artifact” in the images now! Is the license changed? ---

It would be better to keep the communication of the same topics (in this case “artifacts” / watermark") in one chat. Even if this started with another question: In this case: [Check for corrupt frames - Programming Questions - Common Vision Blox User Forum](https://forum.commonvisionblox.com/t/check-for-corrupt-frames/2233/8) Related to the Kernel messages, you already got an answer from Andreas before.
