I have used Vuescan very successfully with older kubuntu releases and
now with Feisty Fawn (7.04).
It works flawlessly with my Nikon coolscan ls-5000 (I scanned 1016
slides last week) and also with my Epson V700 - no problems.
I suggest you check your permissions on the /dev/bus/usb devices, you need rw
permissions for yourself
# ls -l /dev/bus/usb/002/037
crw-rw-r-- 1 root scanner 189, 164 2007-07-11 20:29 /dev/bus/usb/002/037
I have put myself in group scanner and check udev, I think the critical lines
are:
in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules
# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664"
and
in /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules
# Nikon Super Coolscan LS-5000 ED
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04b0", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4002", MODE="664", GROUP="scanner"
Try using your scanner as root, if it works, permissions are your
problem. There is plenty of advice on the vuescan web page, and in the
sane docs, and also for udev permissions in ubuntu forums.
