[sane-devel] Canonscan N 650U LIDE Scanner does not scan but makes terrible noise

[Winni]

Hi,

I wrote the message below two months ago. Even after recompiling the 
latest sane-backends 1.0.24 I have to do the tweak with the symlinks 
described below.

Furthermore scanimage -L only find the scandevice when root, which is 
not the most sensible solution.

Is there somebody who can help out or at least tell me where I might 
find a solution to this problem.

Regards,
Winni

Hi,

with the help of Andrea Vai I was able to modify the file
plustek-usbdevs.c @ line 2064 entering 0.76 for dMaxMotorSpeed.

After that Andrea Vai showed me via Email recompiling 
sane-backends-git20130901

Only recompiling did not work, so we had to rename and modify the 
symbolic links in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane from

libsane-plustek.so -> /usr/lib/sane/libsane-plustek.so.1.0.22
libsane-plustek.so.1 -> /usr/lib/sane/libsane-plustek.so.1.0.22

to

libsane-plustek.so -> /usr/lib/sane/libsane-plustek.so.1.0.24
libsane-plustek.so.1 -> /usr/lib/sane/libsane-plustek.so.1.0.24

output scanimage -L

BUT (!) with KanotixDFx86_64 Distro I can only start the GUI Frontend as 
root with [ALT f2] kdesu XSane

then I get a dialogue-box which tells me in German ( I translate)

#Warning
#You try to execute XSane as ROOT. This is really DANGEROUS!
#Don't send any error messages if you get problems when executing XSane 
#as root. You are alone !

Then I can choose between 'continue on your own risk' or 'cancel'

Thus, I am alone I go on on my own risk and there you see.

My Canonscan 650U scans as it should. I tried different resolutions.
NO TERRIBLE SOUND !!! YES !!!

I guess it has something to do with rights that I have to use Xsane and 
scanimage -L as root, because using the normal user the device will not 
be recognized. So if someone here has an idea it is highly appreciated.

Until now thank you very much to Andrea Vai showing me how to recompile 
and tweak.

Winni




Is there anybody who can help me?

Thanx,
