BTW, sane-find-scanner always finds my scanner, it's scanimage that doesn't.
Ok, sounds like a sane configuration or installation issue, not really
a system problem. Let's try something with scanimage:
strace -f -e open scanimage -L 2>&1 | grep -e lib -e /etc -e /proc/bus/usb
Problem solved! :)
strace listed the following line:
open("/var/lib/lock/sane/LCK..libusb:004:016", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL,
0644) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
I found that /var/lib/lock had permissions 660, so I changed it to 775
and the scanner was correctly found as user. Surely something the ebuild
should have done for me... :-/
Thanks Richard for your help. strace really is a tool worth remembering for.
While we're here, I have to say that I'm still not that lucky with my
LiDE 25 scanner. When scanning under Linux, the output shows vertical
stripes, whereas under Windoze the output is faultless. Can something be
done about it? What about other LiDE's out there?
