That is silly of me, I didn't notice you typo (just copy pasted it) :) Anyway 'sudo systemctl status saned.socket' results in: ● saned.socket - saned incoming socket Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/saned.socket; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (listening) since Thu 2016-05-26 08:50:24 EAT; 4h 29min ago Listen: [::]:6566 (Stream) Accepted: 0; Connected: 0
My wife's laptop runs under Kubuntu 15.10. Sane had no difficulty finding our wifi Pixma mg5700. I did not have to configure anything. The scanner is connected with our router (wifi). The scanner worked just fine when I used 15.10 but after the fresh upgrade I get the message: (sudo systemctl start saned) 'Failed to start saned.service: Unit saned.service is masked' Tried the same command on my wife's laptop and sane just starts without complaining about masks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to sane-backends in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577137 Title: sane service masked and cannot be unmasked Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to 16.04 (from 14.04) I noticed the sane daemon (sane- utils 1.0.25+git20150528-1ubuntu2) was no longer running.
