Hello When i run scanimage -L as user i dont see the devices. when i run as root i can see the devices. i set Debug on and i see plustek backend says open failed.
sane-find-scanner gives that device is libusb:001:002 The permission on the /proc/bus/usb/001/002 device file has read permissions to everyone. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43 2005-08-29 17:42 002 I had to change to have write permissions to other like, -r--r--rw- 1 root root 57 2005-08-30 12:22 002 then only as user i can see the device with scanimage -L Is this a common behavior? I expect to have only read perms and does not require write perms. My system configuration: SuSE , Version = 9.1 sane-frontends-1.0.13-2 xsane-gimp-0.95-3 sane-backends-1.0.15-9 xsane-0.95-3 thanks -- Kondala Rayudu Addagarla Java Developer & Unix/Linux Administrator. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> References: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> how are you going to send commands to the scanner, if you cant write to it? look at hotplug, it can be configured to set the permissions however you want. oh and you might want to let root and group still write to it... allan On Tue, 30 Aug 2005, Rayudu Addagarla wrote: > Hello > When i run scanimage -L as user i dont see the devices. > when i run as root i can see the devices. > i set Debug on and i see plustek backend says open failed. > > sane-find-scanner gives that device is libusb:001:002 > The permission on the /proc/bus/usb/001/002 device file has read permissions > to everyone. > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43 2005-08-29 17:42 002 > > I had to change to have write permissions to other like, > -r--r--rw- 1 root root 57 2005-08-30 12:22 002 > then only as user i can see the device with scanimage -L > > Is this a common behavior?
