I get this same bug on my (shiny new) 6.06 install. My scanner is on my SCSI bus and no driver was loaded for it during the install. When I tried xsane it scanned for devices and then reported that it could not find any.
Following various bits of advice on the forums I have loaded the sg module and configured a new udev rule for it in a local rules file. The scanner works fine now and I can use "scanimage" (from sane-utils) to scan from it. However xsane now breaks with the seg fault described above: it starts scanning for devices, then crashes after a second or two. How can we make progress on this? I see that various others have had success with the newer versions of xsane, but (a) I had all this working on Gentoo with xsane 0.97, and (b) the reason I switched to Ubuntu was to avoid hours and hours of compiling everything myself... thanks T. -- SEGV on startup https://launchpad.net/bugs/37968 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
