[sane-devel] scanbd on archlinuxarm

[Michael Watson]

Arch Linux Arm is not quite debian.  I may have run into a permissions issue
with libsub.
 
Version 1.2.1 installed fine:
    USE_SANE=yes make -e clean all
    USE_SANE=yes make install
 
As far as I can tell the scanbd configuration is set (required *.conf and
locations) with user =  saned and group = scanner.
 
scanimage -L works as user root and user saned (member of scanner):
    device `net:localhost:genesys:libusb:001:008' is a Canon LiDE 210
flatbed scanner
 
As user root, /usr/local/bin/scanbd -df -c /usr/local/etc/scanbd/scanbd.conf
works great (remote scanning and buttons).
 
As user saned it does not find the scanner:
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: debug on: level: 7
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: dropping privs to uid saned
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: dropping privs to gid scanner
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: group scanner has member:
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: saned
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: drop privileges to gid: 96
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: Running as effective gid 96
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: drop privileges to uid: 1001
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: Running as effective uid 1001
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: dbus_init
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: dbus match
type='signal',interface='org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager'
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: sane version 1.0
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: Scanning for local-only devices
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: start_sane_threads
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: start dbus thread
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: udev init
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: get udev monitor
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: udev fd is non-blocking, now setting to blocking mode
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: start udev thread
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: udev thread started
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: timeout: 500 ms
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: Iteration on dbus call
/usr/local/bin/scanbd: Iteration on dbus call
repeat

Grepping on "Scanning for local-only devices" --> sane.c --> void
get_sane_devices(void)
 
Arch Linux Arm has recently shifted to systemd.  Run as a service it behaves
like user saned, not root.
