Hello, Everyone I am having a problem scanning with our Epson Perfection 2400 scanner. =A0I= =20 don't know for sure if this is a KDE issue or not. But I figured that sinc= e=20 the Scanner Guru's are here, that at the very least you could tell me if th= is=20 is a problem with SANE or not.
This problem only occurs when I use Kooka (doesn't matter whether it's the= =20 version that ships with Fedora Core 2, or the one on CVS HEAD.) =A0I tried= =20 scanning an image earlier using xsane, and it worked just fine. Here is a link to an image that I Just scanned (using "xsane", to show that= =20 the scanner works just fine: http://www.faith4miracle.org/kooka/JoeyRamone.jpg When I start any version of Kooka (for this experiment, I will start Kooka= =20 while su'd into root. =A0This is what the GUI looks like: http://www.faith4miracle.org/kooka/kooka-1.jpg Then I proceed to do a "Preview Scan" =A0This is what the GUI looks like th= en: http://www.faith4miracle.org/kooka/kooka-2.jpg If I try to do a "Final Scan", this is what the GUI looks like: http://www.faith4miracle.org/kooka/kooka-3.jpg You will notice that these are identical screen shots. =A0This is because=20 whether I choose "Preview Scan" or "Final Scan", nothing appears to be=20 scanned. The only configuration file I could find was in "~/.kde/share/config" =A0I = tried=20 deleting that and retrying what I described above, to no avail. At the following location, you will find a tarball of the terminal window=20 outputs that I got when I tried a Preview and a Final scan. =A0In the same= =20 tarball, you will find straces of attempts at Preview and Final scans. http://www.faith4miracle.org/kooka/kooka-logs.tar.bz2 Root is the group and user of /proc/bus/usb/001/013 Also, root does have read, write and execute permissions on this device. One thing I just thought of: I can't remember for sure, but should I have=20 a /dev/scanner? =A0I can't remember if I had one in the past, or if that is= =20 relevant with a USB scanner. =A0All I know is that I don't have one now. Operating System: Fedora Core 2, All Packages installed, All official Updat= es=20 installed (Except the kernel) QT: 3.3.3 from TrollTech source tarball KDE: CVS HEAD QT and KDE paths are both exported in my ~/.bash_profile. =A0I did not over= write=20 the FC2 default KDE. In closing, this same scanner, using Kooka from the CVS HEAD version of KDE= ,=20 used to work perfectly, never giving me a moment of trouble. =A0Like I stat= ed=20 earlier, and proved with an example for your viewing, this same scanner tha= t=20 does not work with kooka, does work just fine with xsane. I will be glad to answer any questions that this problem might require. Have a Great Day Steven P. Ulrick =2D-=20 00:36:39 up 16 days, 10:06, 45 users, load average: 0.34, 0.33, 0.67
