[Bug 1442111] Re: Scanner is correctly identified but scan fails with "sane_start: Invalid argument" as root, and rebooting the computer sometimes makes things work, sometimes not
Yes I am marking this Invalid because the issue hasn't manifested itself since mid-2015. See comment 3 for more details.

Nathanaël Naeri (Naël), please disregard the apport-collect as it's not working for sane-backends. I've filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1656599 to address.

Hi Christopher, thank you for resurrecting this bug report. The affected machine has since been upgraded to Xenial. It still uses the same scanner. The current versions of sane-backends and iscan are barely more recent, so one could suppose the behavior I reported in 2015-05 could still occur. However, it hasn't manifested itself since mid-2015, or I would have moved this bug report upstream to get help. Perhaps I've just been lucky. After all, this scanner isn't used very frequently and this bug doesn't show up every time. Still, my opinion is to close this bug as Invalid (can't reproduce). I'll re-open it in the future if necessary. Do you still want the apport information?

Nathanaël Naeri, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please execute the following command only once, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal: apport-collect 1442111 When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu- bug' and the name of the package affected.

I forgot to mention, but when this problems appears, unplugging and replugging the scanner (or switching it off and on) does not make the problem go away, as far as I have noticed. Only rebooting sometimes make things work. Updated SANE from 1.0.22 (-7ubuntu1) to 1.0.25 (-git20150516-precise0) using Rolf Bensch's PPA (daily git snapshots, https://launchpad.net/~rolfbensch/+archive/ubuntu/sane-git). Now scanimage also reports an epson2 scanner besides the epkowa scanner. I believe this is because support for Epson Stylus Office BX305FW has been added in backend epson2 in SANE 1.0.25, according to the lists of supported devices available on the SANE website. Epson IScan has not changed, same version as reported. The reported behavior is still present (and still only on some boots, as reported). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1442111 Title: Scanner is correctly identified but scan fails with "sane_start: Invalid argument" as root, and rebooting the computer sometimes makes things work, sometimes not To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1442111/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
