[sane-devel] Problem in setting up Xsane (problem half solved)

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Henning,

Further to my later posting

I take following actions;

as user

su
password

[root at server /]# rpm -qa|grep sane
sane-backends-1.0.7-6
sane-frontends-1.0.7-2
xsane-0.84-2
sane-backends-devel-1.0.7-6

[root at server /]# sane-find-scanner
# Note that sane-find-scanner will find any scanner that is connected
# to a SCSI bus and some scanners that are connected to the Universal
# Serial Bus (USB) depending on your OS. It will even find scanners
# that are not supported at all by SANE. It won't find a scanner that
# is connected to a parallel or proprietary port.

sane-find-scanner: found SCSI scanner "AGFA SNAPSCAN 310 1.90" at device
/dev/sg1
sane-find-scanner: found SCSI scanner "AGFA SNAPSCAN 310 1.90" at device
/dev/sgb

[root at server /]# cd /dev/
[root at server dev]# ln -s sgb scanner
[root at server /]# ls -l /dev/sgb
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            3 Aug 24  2002 /dev/sgb -> sg1
[root at server dev]# cd /
[root at server /]# chmod -c 0777 /dev/sg1
mode of `/dev/sg1' changed to 0777 (rwxrwxrwx)

Start 'xsane'.  After accepting the licence an Error warning popup
xane: no devices available

B.Regards
Stephen
