You build your own kernel or rely on modules to handle it all?
Any idea what modules you've rebuilt since the last use of the
scanner?
As a sanity check you might want to take a look at VueScan. Hamerick
does a nice to of just making things work. Might give some better
error messages -- it's also a nice package, worth a few bucks to
have something that Just Works and also helps support someone who
actually releases software for Linux.
Depending on which syslogger you use, create /var/log/debug with
debug-level output (no idea how to do this with systemd), zero the
log, and tail -f it while you plug in the scanner, try to use it.
I normally keep /var/log/messages w/ *.info, auth.none and have
logrotate switch it out frequently (daily) at 1MiB. You only need it
once to make it worth the disk space :-)
Try:
( strace sane <what you expect to work ) >
/var/tmp/sane.strace.out 2>&1;
and see what it's trying to open when it fails to get the file. It
might not be the device itself that is botching the process but a
secondary file that got stepped on.
Try:
find /etc -name '._cfg*';
any of them affect scanning, dbus, usb (anything else that might
be used by sane)?
