No, saned is not intended to be started automatically as it would block scanbd. This is also the reason you need inetd.
So: /etc/default/saned should read "RUN=no" If I run scanbd -f it outputs "scanbd: dbus match type='signal',interface='org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager'" on my installation. Does this mean it is working? (I am testing remotely now and thus can't test the scanner) It indeed will be great if the out-of-the-box experience on Debian and Ubuntu becomes flawless. What would be even better though, is that you can commit back documentation improvements based on your and my experiences (both for end users and packagers). IMO the scanbd project is missing 2 important things needed for World Domination: 1) Error-free, thoroughly optimized, userfriendly-dedicated documentation 2) A list with supported scanners PS: will do the testing in the weekend. -- Mvg, Sander Devrieze. 2015-03-04 8:31 GMT+01:00 Rolf Leggewie <1216...@bugs.launchpad.net>: > On 04.03.2015 14:15, sander wrote: > > I believe that's because that one was suggested in some scanbd > > documentation. > > I believe the better dependency for the package will be > "openbsd-inetutils|inet-superserver".
