<br>
Thanks to the help of Rolf and Gernot. <br>
<br>
The problem was laying in many different attempts to install
sane-backends, some wrong linking, and after a total clean-up of
all the installations, we noticed that the libsane.la was located
in the folder<br>
<pre wrap=""><font face="sans-serif">/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libsane.la
So creating symbolic links to that file
$ cd /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
$ sudo ln -sf /usr/local/lib/libsane.so.1.0.24 libsane.so.1
$ sudo ln -sf /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane.la libsane.la
$ cd -
solved the problem.
Everything running smoothly now.

Please note that if xsane has problems in shutting down after
using sudo xsane, remove the '~/.sane/' folder. And that little
problem solved aswell. <br>

I guess that you don't have the user rights to access your scanner.

Erik,
would you be so kind as you give a clear description of the problem
you faced, and how you finally solved it (I think there may be a more
elegant method, like maybe something with symlink changes).
>From what you wrote to me, it was a problem with the packaging of
xsane and installation using a high-level package manager like
synaptic.
Best regards,
Gernot

<pre wrap="">Please try 'sudo scanimage -L'. If this is working, you need to copy
'tools/udev/libsane.rules' from your sane's project folder to
'/etc/udev/rules.d/' and join the group 'scanner'. Ubuntu uses udev to
recognise the attached devices, please ignore the stuff around
'/dev/scanner'.
If this won't work, please reinstall sane from source as described in
'README.linux' after "Installation". You can ignore the stuff above
"Installation".
Normally sane installation from source doesn't affect system's sane
installation and vice versa, instead of some symbolic links, for your 32
bits ubuntu in '/usr/lib/'.
If any package installation or update might overwrite the symbolic
links, you only need to create new ones as described in README.linux.
Cheers,
Rolf

<pre wrap="">Hello all
First of all, if any replies, please send me a cc as i am not a member
of this list.
Secondly, I had Sane working brilliantly under ubuntu 10.04 with the
backend version 1.0.16
now, after doing a completely fresh install of 12.04 i really cannot get
Sane to work.
here are some proofs.
scanimage -V
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.24git; backend version 1.0.24
output
sane-find-scanner
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make
sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x1746 [MP280 series])
at libusb:002:006
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be
supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
output
sudo scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
Advices from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux">http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux</a>:
My /etc/ld.so.conf
only contains the line
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
locate libsane.so.1 after sudo updatedb
/usr/lib/libsane.so.1
/usr/lib/libsane.so.1.0.24
Yesterday, I had for one moment the scanner working, then I installed
Xsane through the command line, which give me a lot options of which I
didnot know which one to choose. Since then, no success at all. Anyway,
now installing xsane will mean it will downgrade to 1.0.22.
If, one day, I will have SANE running, is there a way to install XSane
without downgrading?
and a last question, quoting from the README.linux
"It may help to set a symbolic link /dev/scanner to the respective device if
automatic detection does not work."
how do I do that?
Thanks in advance.
Erik.
