[Bug 211889] Re: Unable to access the scanner without being root
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 109727 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109727 In hardy I had the same problem with my scanner, a scsi umax astra 1200s, while it worked fine onder Gutsy. After doing some surfing I found the following solution. Go to menu administration users and groups. Click Unlock. After giving your root password click manage groups. Between groups you can find scanner. Select it and click properties. Here you can check the users you permit to scan, including yourself. Then OK and from that moment Sane handels your scanner also when you are not root.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 109727 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109727 I think I have the solution : the problem is that the 20-libsane.fdi does not have my scanner.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 109727 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109727 Kelson, try this fix that I found: Go to users groups: SystemAdministrationUsers and Groups Click the Unlock button and enter password. Select your default user Click properties On the User Priviledges tab check the groups you belong to. If anything is not checked (like scanner for example) check it. Log out of your session and log back in again Now try to see if your scanner is being detected. So by default the default user is not added to all groups like it should. The groups that the default user should be added to still are: Send and Recieve Faxes Use Scanners Use Tape Drives In my case that solved my problem. -- Unable to access the scanner without being root https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211889 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
