I'm getting the same problem but only when my wireless network connection is active. The scanning GUI pops up for about 1 second and then aborts. If I turn-off wireless then scanning behaves normally using: simple-scan xsane iscan
Also, if I launch a scanning GUI while wireless is down, and then bring my wireless connection up scanning works normally. However, if I close the scanning GUI and try to launch it again the GUI will abort each time until I deactivate my wireless network connection. Running -Version- Kernel : Linux 2.6.32-22-generic (x86_64) Distribution : Ubuntu 10.04 LTS While Wireless is active I get: $simple-scan -d ** (simple-scan:2878): DEBUG: Starting Simple Scan 1.0.2, PID=2878 ** (simple-scan:2878): DEBUG: Restoring window to 600x400 pixels ** (simple-scan:2878): DEBUG: sane_init () -> SANE_STATUS_GOOD ** (simple-scan:2878): DEBUG: SANE version 1.0.20 ** (simple-scan:2878): DEBUG: Requesting redetection of scan devices ** (simple-scan:2878): DEBUG: Processing request *** buffer overflow detected ***: simple-scan terminated -- Simple scan crashes with "buffer overflow detected" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572246 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
