IIRC- there was a bug in Ubuntu's SCSI scanner udev rules, which Olaf
reported to them? The general idea is to add a line to a file in
/etc/udev/rules.d, which will set the permissions on the scanner to
something more 'permissive' :) I think you might get more help with
that specific problem on an

What am I doing wrong :(
I'm loging on as root user
Places/home the I keep clicking back to get the DEV folder I find sg0
which is my scanner I click on properties. I have changed both owener
and group to chris restarted the computer
Login as chris and the owner and group are back to root
WHY
Wha
Stop logging into Xwindows as root.
instead, login as yourself, open a terminal, and run this:
su -
It will ask for root password. if you give it correctly, you now have
a shell open as root. in that shell, run this:
chown chris. /dev/sg0
(this assumes that 'chris' is your login.) Note the '.'
Can you tell me what I do next

The scanner works as root, but not as a regular user. So we need to
adjust the permissions of the device.
The mechanism to do this differs somewhat between linux distros.
Generally, we will be editing udev (/etc/udev/rules.d) or hal
(/usr/share/hal/fdi/) rules. Or, perhaps some other mechanism. :(
Have changed the continence of the file and still can't get the printer
working any more help please

run the following, as root:
scanimage -L
if your scanner is not listed, run the following as root:
SANE_DEBUG_CANON=255 scanimage -L 2>canon.log
This will produce a 'canon.log' file in the current directory. Please
send that file to the list, compressed if it is larger than 100 KB.

All system files are owned by root. use sudo, or switch to root account.

Hi Trying to get my scanner working but not sure where to go next
chris at chris-desktop:~$ sudo scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
