Public bug reported: To reproduce in terminal run man simple-scan. Then read the man pages and notice it says Simple Scan has been written with GTK+ libraries, and after installing the application you can run it from the Applications menu.
But lubuntu and now ubuntu with unity don't really have an applications menu to run it from but ubuntu-mate does. simple-scan: Installed: 3.16.1.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.16.1.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.16.1.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Description: Ubuntu 15.04 Release: 15.04 I expected the man page for simple scan to be applicable to all desktop environments not just like how it was in gnome 2 days years ago.
