My usb scanner is not working anymore since upgrade to kde4
it worked for years with sidux and kanotix but sometimes after a du or new kernel it didn't work for a short while.
Now I have read almost all scanner related topics on this and other forums, but still no go,
jack@jacksbox1:~$ scanimage -L
device `gt68xx:libusb:002:003' is a Mustek ScanExpress 1200 UB Plus flatbed scanner
So my scanner is detected by system ok.
but when I start xsane, after I while I get error message;
Could not find device ' gt68xx:libusb:002:003': false argument
when I check /proc/bus/usb I see that this is empty
I do have right firmware file installed , scanner was working before.
Any suggestions? |

to slh,
I used search in synaptic and search for ; usb
then I installed everything I thought was related to usb, libusb.. , usbview, usb-python.. etc
xsane , still no go
then I started; quiteinsane as user , no go
then Quiteinsane as root and the it worked.
Now quiteinsane and xsane also work as normal user even after reboot.
So what did the trick, I don't know. |
