Perhaps this one is related: In the YaST scanner setup I do an ugly workaround for a strange problem (Suse/Novell Bugzilla bug #75709 - an old internal bug report for Suse Linux 9.3): ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symptoms (happens sometimes - not always): A) When starting the YaST scanner module, no scanner is autodetected. But after a simple abort and re-start of the YaST scanner module, the scanner is autodetected. B) After a backend was activated by the YaST scanner module, no matching active scanner is shown. But after a simple redo (i.e. activate the same backend again) or after finish and re-start of the YaST scanner module, the matching active scanner is shown. Background information: Regarding A): YaST calls "sane-find-scanner" to autodetect scanners. Sometimes "sane-find-scanner" doesn't autodetect a scanner. But a simple re-run of "sane-find-scanner" autodetects it. Regarding B): YaST calls "scanimage -L" to get the active scanners. Sometimes "scanimage -L" doesn't find the scanner. But a simple re-run of "scanimage -L" finds it. It never happened in the 9.2 environment. It happens only in the 9.3 environment. Obviously it is not a problem in YaST. I don't think it is a problem in "sane-find-scanner" or in "scanimage -L" because the sane package was not changed after I switched from 9.2 environment to 9.3 environment. I assume it is a problem somewhere in the hotplug/udev magic regarding USB devices but I have no idea what it might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Up to now the reason is unknown. Therefore the scanner autodetection (i.e. "sane-find-scanner") is simply called a second time in YaST (after waiting 10 seconds) if it ran without errors but didn't detect a scanner on the first run. In this case you get the nice Welcome to the wonderful world of full automated USB device magic ;-) Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany AG Nuernberg, HRB 16746, GF: Markus Rex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
