This can still happen in Trusty with xsane 0.998-5ubuntu1. I somehow ended up in a situation where scanimage worked, xsane worked if started from the command line, but failed with an invalid argument if started as a gimp plugin. The reason was probably that it was always trying to acquire an image with the size "0*885*8 (0 B)" (or something similar with the first dimension 0) and there was no way to make it try to get a non-zero sized image. After removing ~/.sane things started to work again, and I can no longer reproduce which sequence of steps resulted in the problem.
So there is still a problem where xsane gets thorougly confused by the contents of the ~/.sane directory. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43246 Title: "Invalid argument" error with epson perfection 1200 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsane/+bug/43246/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
