[Solved for Jaunty] My solution to only being able to use a scanner as root in Jaunty, much simpler than udev.rules, is: 1) lsusb ....... Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04f9:0182 Brother Industries, Ltd Composite Device
(but see also sudo xsane , where the xsane top panel says 0.996 DCP-7010:bus3;dev2 ) 2) sudo pcmanfm go to /dev/bus/usb/002/002 (Might want to try /dev/bus/usb/003/002 as well if this bus no. confusion exists) Right mouse click > properties > permissions Allow Run for Group and Other Users. 3) Reboot. I can now scan as a normal user. -- xsane only scans as root https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217571 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
