It seems not: when I launch my homemade scanning script the scanimage message says: scanimage: no SANE devices found Note that I tryed th next: sudo chown yp:scanner /usr/local/bin/scan2* (to sete my scripts in the scanner group, idem I did: chown yp:scanner ~/lin_scans since taht's my destination dir. None of any changed something: ONLY sudo scan2* works. What am I missing ? (its an USB scanner, so I don't need any /dev/scanner or so ?

the permissions of your program are irrelevant. it is the permissions of the USB device file that matter. Usually, these devices are owned by a group like scanner, and adding yourself to that group fixes the problem. allan On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 7:50 AM, Y P wrote: > Hi, > > On Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 08:26:39PM -0400, m. allan noah wrote: >> perhaps try to sudo your scanimage command. > > Well that works now. > But: > >>if that helps, then you >> need more permissions, perhaps adding yourself to group scanner will >> be enough. > > It seems not: when I launch my homemade scanning script the scanimage > message says: > scanimage: no SANE devices found > > Note that I tryed th next: > sudo chown yp:scanner /usr/local/bin/scan2* > (to sete my scripts in the scanner group, > idem I did: chown yp:scanner ~/lin_scans > since taht's my destination dir. > > None of any changed something: > ONLY sudo scan2* works. > > What am I missing ?

Well, today is another day, and today I'm still unable to scan without being sudo, so rebooting or completely restart the pc doesn't fix the problem. That means it is really a perm problem. > ria, a couple years back, when using mandrake, i had to do one or other > to get into scanner group. As said, I added myself to scanner, but i am wondered to see sighted persons who doesn't had that problem from within Gnome/Xsane: in my case I have to fix it for the console. But note taht on a remove pc (Feisty) my partner does uses her scanner as well graphically as under console, without having to become sudo. Y P

Hi Y P, As ubuntu uses udev to automaticaly setup hardware, i suggest investigating the relevant udev-rule that setsup your scanner and add the correct permissions. hope it helps. This is just an excerpt of http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljm/SANE-faq.html#82 Maybe out of date. 9.1. Is there a how-to or some general information on USB-scanners? See http://www.zianet.com/k5di/usb/usb-scanner.txt 9.2. How can I use a USB scanner with Linux 2.6? With Linux 2.4.* you could either use the kernel scanner module or libusb to access USB scanners. In Linux 2.6.4 the kernel scanner module was removed. Therefore with this and later kernels libusb must be used. While SANE automatically uses libusb when the library and its header file were present during the build of sane-backends, setting permissions will require some attention. The device files used by libusb are located in /proc/bus/usb/ (e.g. /proc/bus/usb/001/003). The exact file name can be found out by running sane- find-scanner which would print "libusb:001:003" in this case. While setting permissions with e.g. "chmod a+rw /proc/bus/usb/001/003" seems to work, this change is not permanent. The permissions will be reset when the scanner is replugged or Linux is rebooted. One solution to set permissions on-the-fly are the Linux hot-plug tools that should come with any current distribution. SANE itsself comes with a hotplug script and related documentation in the tools/hotplug/ directory. Please refer to the README in that directory for the details. You might also wish to browse through the documentation for the Plustek; it has quite a nice section on how to set-up your USB access. Am Dienstag, 21.

I'm not for Ubuntu, but for SuSE, I simply tweaked
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules
# libusb device access
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device",
NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", MODE="0666"
something similar should be possible for Ubuntu too.

gentlemen- we have led YP astray. It seems that recent Ubuntu and
Fedora no longer install udev rules, but rather, use ConsoleKit and
hal to manage device access.
look around in /usr/share/hal/fdi for some sort of libsane.fdi file.
Verify that the scanner's usb vendor and device ids are in that file.
If they are, then perhaps the hal fdi cache is corrupt, see ubuntu bug
#211708 for a possible fix.

On my Hardy, there is a file called 20-libsane.fdi; the path is: /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/ and the 20-libsane.fdi file is +/- 210k great.

umax_pp.c: dev->opt[OPT_GAMMA_VECTOR].size = 256 * sizeof (SANE_Word); the option is a C-style array of values, not just a single value. lots of other backends do this too, search for GAMMA_VECTOR. allan On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 11:59 AM, Jeffrey Ratcliffe wrote: > 2008/10/20 m. allan noah : >> that is used when the option is a series of numbers. sometimes used >> for gamma tables and the like. > > Can you be a bit more specific, perhaps with an example? > > Thanks > > Jeff > -- "The truth is an offense, but not a sin"
[sane-devel] Migrate from CVS to SVN or DVCS?
Is there any interest in migrating SANE's CVS to a newer revision control system? Subversion would be an improvement for its repository-wide revision numbers. A DVCS such as git would be even more interesting, given the apparent number of people who could contribute code and/or scanner test data. I became interested in this when planning to make a CVS snapshot package to use some of our scanner hardware. I realized I didn't know offhand how to refer to a particular revision of the whole tree with CVS. With DVCS, maintainers could pull from anyone's repository which contains useful changesets, and perhaps the newer RCS systems' export features would make incremental releases easier.
