Public bug reported: If the user tries to save the output of a scan to a filesystem that doesn't have enough space, Simple Scan gives no error message. It silently creates a truncated or empty file.
I don't know if this is relevant, but when I found this bug, I was trying to save the scan to a mounted removable drive (a USB stick), and I was creating a multi-page PDF. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS Release: 18.04 $ apt-cache policy simple-scan simple-scan: Installed: 3.28.0-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.28.0-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.28.0-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: simple-scan 3.28.0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-91.102~18.04.1-generic 5.4.151 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-91-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.27 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sun Dec 26 19:53:16 2021 InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-03-21 (280 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20190805) MachineType: System manufacturer System Product Name ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.4.0-91-generic root=UUID=0e9d417a-2f2a-4008-85da-5a821afe6aa9 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=1 SimpleScanLog: SourcePackage: simple-scan UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 07/14/2020 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 5602 dmi.board.asset.tag: Default string dmi.board.name: PRIME A320M-K dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. dmi.board.version: Rev X.0x dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Default string dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: Default string dmi.chassis.version: Default string dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr5602:bd07/14/2020:svnSystemmanufacturer:pnSystemProductName:pvrSystemVersion:rvnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:rnPRIMEA320M-K:rvrRevX.0x:cvnDefaultstring:ct3:cvrDefaultstring: dmi.product.family: To be filled by O.E.M. dmi.product.name: System Product Name dmi.product.sku: SKU dmi.product.version: System Version dmi.sys.vendor: System manufacturer ** Affects: simple-scan (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1955766 Title: Simple Scan gives no error when output filesystem fills up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/simple-scan/+bug/1955766/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
