[Bug 109727] Re: xscan not connecting with scanner and crashing
I first have this problem (Kooka not detecting mi Epson 1250 USB scanner) on KUbuntu 8.04. However, my system does correctly detect a Pinnacle Studio PCTV card. Then I read some thread about running it as kdesu kooka and it started working for some time. After that I reinstalled KUbuntu but this time to version 8.04.1 and having separated my /home folder onto a different a partition. And now kooka does again not detect the scanner even if I run as kdesu kooka or sudo kooka from the command line. I tried to reinstall Xsane and Kooka from Synaptic but this didn't work. Oh, and by the way I observed that when package reinstallation has finished, Synaptic window wouldn't close (I had to xkill it). Now, when I run kdesu kooka I get a message telling that dcopserver is not running before Kooka opens up. Typing sudo scanimage -L throws the following output device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname BT878 video (Pinnacle PCTV Stud virtual device (last line from device is blank). What can I do?

Aswarp: this is a closed bug report, and a report on xsane (not kooka). Also, you should never be running these programs as root (eg. using kdesu and sudo). I do not have experience with kooka (plus it looks like it has now been dropped due to lack of development). If you want to try with xsane, you need to backup/remove your ~/.sane directory as this is likely to be crippled by permission issues. Again, this report has been closed, and it is unlikely that you are experiencing the same issue (this was reported with an old version of xsane). If you genuinely believe you have encountered a new bug, please open a separate report for it.

[Bug 109727] Re: xscan not connecting with scanner and crashing
Thank you Hew: As I wrote in my previous message, I run it as root because it detected my scanner previously this way, and I was in a hurry. After reinstalling XSane and Kooka I could not login to my kde user account due to DCOPserver not working properly (and root password misteriously changed, whoa!). I had to reset the root password then create a new user and overwrite the /home/user .IC*,.DCOP* files with the new user's ones, followed by a chown user.user on the files, then removinv the dumb user. Afterwards I could login to my user account and kooka detected my scanner correctly. -- xscan not connecting with scanner and crashing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Could you please try removing the ~/.sane directory and retesting as a user?

As a side note: in Gutsy this problem didn't exist. I hate to think that since this is an old bug report from before Hardy development that one could think it has always been present for some. As far as I know from the forums (both Ubuntu and Kubuntu) numerous people don't have their scanners working at all at this point. -- xscan not connecting with scanner and crashing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 109727] Re: xscan not connecting with scanner and crashing
I also tested this on Ubuntu Hardy and the behavior is identical: as root both HP-Toolbox and xsane work properly, but when launched as regular user they have communication problems with the devices: xsane doesn't even detect the scanner hp-toolbox does not communicate with the printer at all This confirms my suspicion that this is an ownership/permission problem, or at least it looks like it is one. After all, why does it work with root permissions? -- xscan not connecting with scanner and crashing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 109727] Re: xscan not connecting with scanner and crashing
I am having the same problem, also with my all-in-one HP printer/scanner. HP-Toolbox is suffering from the same problem and I think they are related. If I start kooka as root from a terminal I get this error message: Error: /var/tmp/kdecache-marc is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. Error: /tmp/ksocket-marc is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. Changing permissions to rw doesn't change anything though. I think it's the ownership that is the problem here. (I'm not 100% sure though) Oddly enough if I start kooka with root permission it does detect my scanner properly. The same goes for HP-Toolbox. Both work fine when started with root permissions but my regular user cannot use my scanner. This leads me to believe that this is a permission issue. I'm using Kubuntu Hardy Beta x86_64 KDE3.5 completely up to date. -- xscan not connecting with scanner and crashing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 109727] Re: xscan not connecting with scanner and crashing
I seem to be having the same problem. My scanner is a 1212u too, but that does not seem to be the problem, because Kooka crashes both with the USB scanner plugged and unplugged. scanimage, xscanimage also crash with a segmentation fault. It had always worked fine. My last scan was maybe 2 months ago, so I can't really tell on which update it actually stopped working. I regularly apply package updates as suggested by the daily update notifier.
