--- Begin Message ---Package: libsane Version: 1.0.27-3.2 Severity: important File: sane Dear Maintainer, I have been using an old scanner of type CanoScan N1240U/LiDE 30 without problems since Debian 7, connected to a port replicator or directly to a USB port, on a variety of computers (both 32 and 64 bits). Since Debian 10, scanning functions have ceased to work properly, but this seems to affect only the 64b environment. 1. Context A Thinkpad L570, fresh installation of Debian 10.3 64b, GNOME, Xorg. CanoScan LiDE 30. Xsane 0.999. SimpleScan 3.30.1.1. 2. Initialization difficulties a) Neither SimpleScan nor XSane detect the scanner automatically, despite the fact that the command lsusb recognizes and lists it. b) Solution : execute first sane-find-scanner, which returns appropriately found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x220e [CanoScan]) at libusb:001:019 (or equivalent, depending on which port the scanner is attached to). And then execute scanimage -L, which returns appropriately Created directory: /var/lib/snmp/mib_indexes device `plustek:libusb:001:019' is a Canon CanoScan N1240U/LiDE30 flatbed scanner c) Whereupon both SimpleScan and Xsane detect the scanner. However, they still do not function correctly. 3. SimpleScan can only scan once. a) Start SimpleScan and scan a document page. Everything works perfectly. b) Either "delete" the page or select "start again", and then "scan"; SimpleScan enters the scanning loop but b.i) does not drive the scanner (there is no movement of the scanning head); b.ii) it just displays an entirely black preview. From then on, the only way to scan another page is to exit SimpleScan, and re-launch the program. It is impossible to scan a succession of pages within a single SimpleScan session. 4. SimpleScan gets into an inconsistent state. a) After a while, even that procedure fails. When requested to scan, SimpleScan enters the state "contacting scanner" -- which lasts for a minute or so, then outputs the error message "failed to scan/cannot start scan". In this situation, scanimage -L still lists the scanner. b) After a few attempts, SimpleScan quickly returns an error "failed to scan/no scanners available". In that situation, repeated invocations of sane- find-scanner and scanimage -L produce no result : scanimage -L no longer detects the (still attached) scanner, despite lsusb and sane-find-scanner having identified it. The only way to restart SimpleScan is to unplug the scanner, reconnect it, and redo the whole initialization procedure before invoking SimpleScan. 5. Xsane does not even scan once. a) Starting Xsane after an initializatin leads to a very lengthy phase (1 minute or more) where Xsane remains "scanning for devices". When scanning e.g. with "acquire preview" results in the following: a.i) Xsane does not drive the scanner; a.ii) it just displays an entirely black page. b) There is no way to make Xsane work, even for just one scan. Repeating scans always leads to a black page. Loading the CanoScan LiDE 30 device parameters in the "preferences" menu of Xsane produces the same result. c) Exiting and re-launching Xsane then results in a different behaviour: upon requesting a scan, Xsane immediately returns an error message "Failed to start scanner: error during device I-O". Checking immediately with scanimage -L shows that the scanner is no longer detected. Re-executing sane-find-scanner and then scanimage -L does not help as long as the scanner has not been unplugged and replugged. Context B. Dell I9100, fresh installation of Debian 10.3 32b, XFCE. CanoScan LiDE 30. Xsane 0.999. 6. Scanning works. a) Invoking Xsane directly, without the initialization with sane-find- scanner and scanimage -L, the program recognizes the scanner within seconds and is ready to work. b) Scanning works flawlessly. "Acquire preview" results in a proper display of the document being scanned. Conclusion. There seems to be a serious inconsisteny in the scanning environment of the 64b Debian implementation that results in a faulty and incoherent behaviour of various scanning front-ends. They cannot really scan, and after a while the device drivers / backend is left in a perturbated state where the connected scanner is detected by some utilities but not by others. The problems occur whether the scanner is connected directly to a USB port, or via a port replicator. The problems do not occur in a 32b Debian system. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libsane:amd64 depends on: ii acl 2.2.53-4 ii adduser 3.118 ii libavahi-client3 0.7-4+b1 ii libavahi-common3 0.7-4+b1 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libgphoto2-6 2.5.22-3 ii libgphoto2-port12 2.5.22-3 ii libieee1284-3 0.2.11-13 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.5.2-2+b1 ii libsane-common 1.0.27-3.2 ii libsnmp30 5.7.3+dfsg-5 ii libssl1.1 1.1.1d-0+deb10u2 ii libtiff5 4.1.0+git191117-2~deb10u1 ii libusb-1.0-0 2:1.0.22-2 ii udev 241-7~deb10u3 Versions of packages libsane:amd64 recommends: ii sane-utils 1.0.27-3.2 Versions of packages libsane:amd64 suggests: ii avahi-daemon 0.7-4+b1 ii hplip 3.18.12+dfsg0-2 -- no debconf information
