While "ls -l /dev/sg*" in my wheezy installation did not assign any sg* to the scsi scanner, "dmesg | grep -i scsi" identified the Adaptec card and the HP processor and assigned sg3 to the scsi. Then "chown /dev/sg3" to me let the scsi scanner work perfectly.
I found no way to have gnome2 automatically mount the usb flash card. Always "no permission" and I did not bother further to understand where the permission has to be set. Surely there is some error in the installation. I mount the flash card manually as something not in the fstab. An exercise before forgetting unix completely with all these GUIs. francesco ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Francesco Pietra <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 4:53 PM Subject: failure of scanner with gnome2 To: amd64 Debian <[email protected]> Dist-upgrading to wheezy (gnome2.30.2) prevents me using a scsi HP 6200C scanner. I am trying to use 64bit because my old i386 lack memory enough for examining large graphic files with VMD; therefore, I am trying to do everything at 64 bit to spare time. I tried both startx gnome-session and startx exec ck-launch-session gnome-session In both cases: $ ls -l /dev/sg* crw------- 1 root root 21, 0 Jun 27 16:21 /dev/sg0 crw------- 1 root root 21, 1 Jun 27 16:21 /dev/sg1 crw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 21, 2 Jun 27 16:21 /dev/sg2 crw-rw----+ 1 root root 21, 3 Jun 27 16:21 /dev/sg3 instead of the expected "root scanner" to which affording permission (as it occurred with gnome in squeeze amd64). Incidentally, a flash card is not automatically mounted (no permission) but was solved by manual mounting as vfat. Thanks for suggestions as to making the scanner available (not seen by either save or vuescan). francesco pietra -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
