Christopher, one more thing: I have installed the same 13.04 xubuntu (Raring) on my Acer 64 bit laptop, using a USB stick as the root filesystem. When I connect the laptop to the same scanner it works. I checked the kernel and it is 3.8.0.31.
Well, this is a mystery, since my PC on which the scanner does not work is fully updated and yet the kernel is 3.8.0-19, as previously noted in this bug comment thread. So how come it was not updated to .31? OK, let that be a separate problem. So I was encouraged and wiped out my installation on the PC, repartitionad the hard drive and installed again 13.04 using the same DVD as I used before or used for the laptop. Installation. This new virgin installation, went well, and updated itself completely. Checked kernel, now it is the same as on laptop, that is .31. Fine, so I tried to scan, and it is the same problem, scanner not recognized. I guess, this test suggest that the problem is with kernel configuration. Apparently, because of the two different hardwares (laptop and my PC) some of the modules are not included in the kernel configuration. My Acer laptop can run the scanner without those modules, but my PC cannot. This, to me, makes it even more important to test .29 kernel on my PC which worked on Ubuntu live CD (not xubuntu). If I have to bisect I would only have to bisect between 29 and 31. Better yet, if I can run a diff between 29 and 31 kernel configurations I may be able to discover what is the problem with accessing the scanner. Summary: I still need to know how to load .29 kernel in my xubuntu so that I can test it before further research or bisect. Thank you or anybody else reading this.
