Good evening I thought i had it made. Xsane recognised the scanner and i was in business..so i thought.
In the archives there is a letter addressing just that. http://www.mostang.com/mail-archive/sane-devel/2001-01/0195.html I changed owner and chmod the files as suggested. Then when i tested SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=255 xsane in non root mode i had a surprise. Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid. This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper program instead. For further details, see: http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html Refusing to initialize GTK+. Running xsane by itself also returns this unpleasant warning. So where do i go from now ? Is this fixed in the new sane 1.0.5 ? Will a new frontend fix this ? Sincere thanks Richard Hebert _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
