Sorry, isn't that what I did?
Well, I thought I had done that (as indicated above), but perhaps
what I did and "let it get autodetected and configured by YAST"
aren't exactly the same things. I log into the machine as root, run
yast2, click on Hardware, then Scanners, and I see it run through an
unattended checklist ending with "Detecting USB and SCSI scanners"
after which it shows a line with "plustek Canon N1240U/LiDE30 at
plustek:libusb:007:002". If I click on Other ...
Isn't that your scanner?
Yes. I have no problems whatsoever with SuSE recognizing and using the
scanner, as long as the operations are performed as root. This isn't a
hardware detection problem.
If I click Other ... Test I hear
the hardware make some noises and a bunch of tests are listed and
all marked as OK. If I then log
I assume you accepted yast proposal. :-?
I clicked 'Finish' if that's what you mean. Still doesn't allow
ordinary users to use (or even detect) the scanner.
Linux is a moving target, and things change, sometimes a lot. If that
script does not exist, it means that things are done diferently, by SuSE,
or nowdays.
I think I understand that. What I need is to find out what I need to do
differently than what I have done, which is essentially:
1. Install SuSE 10.2 using the defaults for a workstation
2. Install the updates to packages modified since 10.2 was released
3. Run YaST to configure the scanner as described above
