The scanbuttond workaround worked for me too (LiDE25 scanner). I installed the package scanbuttond with synaptic. I entered the command
scanbuttond as a normal user from a Terminal window. Magically both xsane and xscanimage started working, both as a standalone and with gimp. Kooka worked too. If I killed scanbuttond then xsane, xscanimage and kooka became broken again. -- Canon Lide25 (plustek backend) scanner does not scan via gui https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85488 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
