same problem with a Epson Perfection 660 (snapscan)... but, when I launch Xsane, it freeze on the device choice window, and I was sure it was a freeze, but not. In fact, if I wait 5 minutes, it finally start and I can scan normally.
and if I don't scan for a long period, it freeze but just for 5 minutes... perhaps it is possible to make a little daemon that "talk" to the scanner every 2 minutes, avoid it to "asleep" ;-) David PS: I've got this in /var/log/syslog, and the timing seems to match with the moment I use Xsane (but my scanner is USB!?): Apr 26 11:44:44 morpheus kernel: [ 6245.556000] ppdev0: registered pardevice Apr 26 11:44:44 morpheus kernel: [ 6245.556000] ppdev0: unregistered pardevice Apr 26 11:44:45 morpheus kernel: [ 6246.300000] ppdev0: registered pardevice Apr 26 11:44:45 morpheus kernel: [ 6246.348000] ppdev0: negotiated back to compatibility mode because user-space forgot Apr 26 11:44:45 morpheus kernel: [ 6246.348000] ppdev0: unregistered pardevice same in kern.log... -- Canon Lide25 (plustek backend) scanner does not scan via gui https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85488 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
