Christopher M. Penalver, I think we have a major confusion here, and it is mainly my fault. This is due to my lack of experience with Ubuntu community and with bug reporting.
The bug I reported is for Xubuntu, not for Ubuntu. "X" is the key word here. When I studied the bisect notes and my previous tests I found out that Precise (a.k.a. 12.04) kernel for Ununtu on live CD (or DVD) is 3.8.0-29 but for xubuntu it is 3.2.0-52 Scanner works on both live CD. Raring (a.k.a. 13.04) kernel for xubuntu is 3.8.0-19, and scanner is not recognized, i.e. this bug. Both Ubuntu and Xubuntu CDs have kernels marked "generic". It looks like Xubuntu uses different kernels than Ubuntu. Why is that? Why should desktop user spoace software affect kernel? But these questions are only due to my "ask stupid questions" mentality. As far as bisecting is concerned, I don't know where to find the relevant Xubuntu kernel releases. The bisecting instructions refer only to Ubuntu releases, not to Xubuntu. It looks like Xubuntu is an .org and Ubuntu is a .com. Am I in the wrong place reporting the bug? The bottom line is: I need more help and directions how to proceed.

Scanner is not found - reported by Simple scan. I tried Ask Ubuntu, but got no answer. I have a parallel installation of 12.xx on the same computer, and scanner does work. So what is specific about 13.04? I have also an old FC-3 installation and the scanner works, using sane with xinetd. I notice that 13.04 does not use xinetd. So how is the scanner accessed? Whatever it is, it works on 12.xx and does not on 13.04.
