Package: xsane
Version: 0.999-6+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
`xsane` takes an exuberant amount of time scanning for devices on large
networks,
basically hanging the entire program and making it unusable.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Completely turning off all networking works, as well as running the program
in a sandbox
as `unshare -n xsane`, however both of those methods are a bit cumbersome
to use,
and I have not found any switches in the preferences for disabling the
scanning for network (non USB) devices.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
That `xsane` starts normally and then lists available devices, and/or
an option to entirely disable scanning over the network in the preferences.
Below is a sample output of `strace xsane`:
