Package: sane
Version: 1.0.14-1
Severity: normal
I just did a dist-upgrade from stable to unstable in the last 24 hours.
Xsane says not to run as root or to report problems encountered as root.
But Xsane only recognizes the scanner if I am root.
This is true even if I unplug the scanner and reconnect. On the
sane-devel list on 2004-02-39 there was discussion of similar problems
that had to do with the order in which usbfs and hotplug (now udev)
were started and replugging the scanner worked then.
xscanimage works as root but not ordinary user.
kooka works as root but not ordinary user.
Note that both xscanimage and kooka also report errors when Xsane is running
because the device is in use and fail to alert the user to the device being
busy rather than unavailible.
Scanner is mustek 1200ub
