2022-06-13 Thread Peter Bennett
I have a very simple solution that solved it for me. I have an Acer Nitro with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650. After installing Ubuntu 22.04, every time I attached an external monitor the Xorg CPU usage was 25% - 33% even when nothing is running. This happens with driver 470 and 510. To fix it - run

No. sudo scanimage -L gives the same result. It does not detect the scanner. However schroot with chroot of Ubuntu 16.04 detects it correctly. See below. peter@andromeda:~$ scanimage -L No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in,
