If you do what I write there is no warning popup. I didn't say you
should do your usual scanning as root. Just the detection to find out
what's going on.

The permissions of the scsi devices (e.g. /dev/sg0). They must be set
up so the user can access them. Is this really not in your man page?
Aynway, it doesn't matter as the permissions semm to be set up
correctly:

Fine, there it is. So there is no need to run as root.

No, please do exactly what I wrote. Hint: capital letters. Use
copy&paste to make sure that you don't make any mistakes.

If this doesn't produce any debug output, check that "snapscan" (in
this exact spelling) is in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf.
