Public bug reported:
I have a good old Epson Perfection 1260 which functioned perfecly in previous
Kubuntu versions. All of them were IA32.
I decided then to try Kubuntu Karmic 64 bits, as my system is an IA64 and the
software support for these systems improved a lot.
The problem is that my scanner is now scanning color images with two stripes in
it: one yellow in the left and one red in right side. Grayscale images have the
same kind of distortion, with two gray stripes across the image.
I tested the scanner in a winxp box and it functioned perfectly. Also,I have
tried Skanlite, Xsane and Quiteinsane to no avail.
Interesting thing: when I installed 64 bit Ubuntu side by side Kubuntu, gtk
apps like Xsane and Quiteinsane start to function properly. Only Skanlite
remained with the yellow-red stripes trouble. I suspect this is a KDE4 library
problem.
