Please do not suggest to install third-party packages, even if from the upstream developper. It is a very bad idea in almost all situations. The real problem is how to distinguish those situations from the ones where it might be OK (for the ordinary user). Thus, the normal user should stick to the official packages. We need to get rid of the impulse to install random stuff from the internet to quickly "fix" a problem.

From the command line it works more or less well with Ubuntu. I can't use it with gscan2pdf v0.9.31, but gscan2pdf works with another scanner. All I get is a meaningless "Invalid argument" when I hit the scan button. When I start gscan2pdf from the command line I see these lines appearing when I hit the scan button: Error running process: Died at (eval 39) line 7. $device->start; $shash{$sane_thread}{status} = $Sane::STATUS+0; if ($Sane::STATUS != SANE_STATUS_GOOD) { print "$prog_name: sane_start: $Sane::STATUS\n" if $debug; $shash{$sane_thread}{go} = 0; die; # quickest way out of the eval block } my $path = $shash{$sane_thread}{data}; if (not open($fh, ">", $path)) { $device->cancel; $shash{$sane_thread}{status} = SANE_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED; $shash{$sane_thread}{go} = 0; die; # quickest way out of the eval block } scan_page($device, $fh); $shash{$sane_thread}{status} = $Sane::STATUS+0; close $fh; printf "Scanned page %s.", $path if $debug; printf " (scanner status = %d)\n", $Sane::STATUS if $debug; $shash{$sane_thread}{status} = $Sane::STATUS+0; $shash{$sane_thread}{go} = 0; ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: gscan2pdf 0.9.31-2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-11.48-generic 2.6.38.8 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-11-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Sep 8 09:44:25 2011 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE= PATH=(custom, no username) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gscan2pdf UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to natty on 2011-06-01 (98 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gscan2pdf/+bug/844582/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
