Public bug reported:
Since I have upgraded to Karmic I am not able to use XSane with my Canon Lide
50 scanner. XSane starts properly, but making it to start scanning pops up a
window saying: "Failed to start scanner: Error during device I/O"
On XSane news page the developer says:
"If you experience any problems with XSane and sane-backends with a
version number greater than 1.0.19 then this may be caused by an
incompatible development of sane-backends. In this case it may be worth
to try sane-backends-1.0.19 or earlier. XSane is and will keep
compatible to the original SANE-1.0 standard. I will not spend any time
for incompatible things that will mess up everything. When the SANE-1.1
changes are compatible to SANE-1 then there is no need to change
anything in XSane. "
libsane version in Jaunty was 1.0.19, but Karmic has 1.0.20. Replacing
libsane with the 1.0.19 from Jaunty repository makes XSane work again,
except that I have to force quit XSane as it stops responding when I try
to close any windows.
I suggest revising the libsane vs XSane compatibility version in Karmic
repository and/or including a different frontend that works with libsane
1.0.20 in Karmic repository.
