Bug confirmed in Hardy Heron Alpha 3 Only root has access to scanners connected to the USB port!! So if you use "SUDO sane-find-scanner" "SUDO scanimage -L" and "SUDO scanimage --format tiff --resolution 300 -x 215 -y 297 > image" - or something like that - everything works fine. This is very annoying since my user name is present in the scanner group and full access has been granted to the USB subsytem in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules:
# USB devices (usbfs replacement) SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0777" SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0777" As already mentioned above, the odd things is that the file 45-libsane- rules isn't present in /etc/udev/rules.d anymore, but there are two files in /etc/modprobe.d/ - libsane and blacklist-scanner - with the following content: blacklist scanner blacklist hpusbscsi Soooo, all the scanner modules are blacklisted, and there are no udev rules for libsane ... but root still has access to the scanner. Can anyone explain this? -- access to usb device denied in latest hardy package https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180794 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
