[sane-devel] net.conf bug

2018-03-09 Thread ToddAndMargo

Hi All,

The comment section of /etc/sane.d/net.conf, state

## saned hosts
# Each line names a host to attach to.

This is confusing, if not inaccurate.  It should say

# List the name or IP of the server that the scanner
# to be shared is attached to

Reference: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1546433#c15

Many thanks,
-T

Hi All,

Okay, now this is "scary".

Both xsane and Simple Scan work locally.

I can not get saned to work, UNLESS, I edit /etc/group
and add the following to root

root:x:0:saned

Without it, I get

$ xsane net:localhost:epkowa:interpreter:001:007
Access to resource has been denied

Now what am I doing wrong?  Must saned have root privileges?

Many thanks,
-T


I just caught this:

$ ps -eo pid,user,group,args --sort user | grep cups
 5005 root root /usr/sbin/cupsd -l

CUPS "is" running as root.  So is it okay to add
saned to root's group?

I only find an XML for the Perfection V800.


The presence of an XML file for your device is not a hard requirement,
IIRC.  The fact that scanimage lists your V300 would be proof of that.
If you can actually scan with scanimage even more so.  If you can scan
with scanimage then the V300 _is_ supported by the epkowa backend.

If, on the same machine and with the same permissions, saned is not able
to detect the device, then there is something wrong with your saned
configuration iself or with the way saned is started by, I presume,
systemd.


Figured it out.  I had to add saned to root in /etc/group.  I
made a separate posting on this to find out the ramifications
and if there is a way around it.
