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.
Ciao Francesco. It is udev which is in charge of recognising devices and setting up permissions etc. accordingly. Apparently your device does not match any of the rules in /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules. The good news is that it should be relatively trivial to add it. Just open the file with a text editor, find the section for scsi devices, duplicate an entry for a device similar to yours and modify it to match your scanner. Reload udev and it should work automagically freom next time on.
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.
Check if there is a "plugdev" group in /etc/group and /etc/gshadow. If the plugdev group is not present, make sure the hal and/or pmount
packages are installed. This will create the plugdev group Make sure the nonprivileged user you usually login as is a member of that group. Then, on your gnome desktop, open the Computer icon (or any other which causes nautilus to open a window), then find the "preferences" entry in its menus (should be in Edit, or Modifica in the Italian localised version). Go to the last tab in that preferences window, and you will be able to configure what happens when devices are inserted. This should be it.
