Actually, there is now another problem with xsane: it doesn't exit cleanly. This isn't a big problem if you only use xsane, because you can "force quit", but it will cause Gimp to hang forever on startup.
I tried to upgrade xsane to the version that's distributed with karmic, but still has the same problem. So in the end, I just uninstalled xsane, and installed flegita instead. It also has a gimp plugin, that's in the flegita-gimp package, and this adds a "Scan.." menu entry to the File menu. It works fine standalone and also with gimp. Happy new year. -- XSane is not compatible any more with libsane in Karmic (9.10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/485551 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
