[Bug 434208] Re: USB scanner permission problem
This is a bug report. It clearly details the steps to reproduce the bug and it seems to boil down to a permissions regression, probably due to the removal of the scanner group in Karmic. Back off with the canned responses, please. ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: Invalid = New -- USB scanner permission problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434208 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 434208] Re: USB scanner permission problem
Might be a duplicate of bug #380625
** Description changed:
I'm trying Karmic Alpha 6 and had a little problem with the setup of my
- scanner. I know that it is related to the permissions on the device and
- have been able to configure it correctly on Jaunty using a widely
- available procedure that looks like this:
+ scanner. XSane reports no scanner detected but detects it if I launch
+ XSane as root.
+
+ To reproduce:
+ -Connect a USB scanner (mine is a Brother DCP-7040 multifunction machine)
+ -Install drivers provided by Brother
+ -Launch XSane as a normal user... Fail to detect scanner
+ -Launch XSane as root... Scanner detected and functional
+
+ I know that it is related to the permissions on the device and have been
+ able to configure it correctly on Jaunty using a widely available
+ procedure that looks like this:
-
Change some values in a config file : sudo gedit
/etc/udev/rules.d/40-basic-permissions.rules
Edit 0664 to 0666 in USB devices section.
#Before the edit-
# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM==usb, ENV{DEVTYPE}==usb_device, MODE=0664
SUBSYSTEM==usb_device, MODE=0664
#After the edit--
# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM==usb, ENV{DEVTYPE}==usb_device, MODE=0666
SUBSYSTEM==usb_device, MODE=0666
-
The problem is that the /etc/udev/rules.d/40-basic-permissions.rules
file no longer exists at this location. Is there another file that
should be modified? Will create this file solve the problem? The problem
is not related to a driver configuration issue because everything works
when I launch XSane as root.
There are also some people that talk about adding the user to the
Scanner group but this group does'nt exist in the default system.
