I experienced this problem with xsane 0.999 under Ubuntu 16.04. I have a Seiko Epson Corp. GT-8200U/GT-8200UF [Perfection 1650/1650 PHOTO] scanner. I have a NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 430] (rev a1) video card.
I found a strange work around at ubuntuforums.org http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1368876 Sometime later! more news. I have a work around, if you open Xsane, and then select the preview it does not work. But if you close xsane via Ctrl-Q while the Preview window is open. Then restart xsane the preview window is opened (as you have previously selected it) and lo and behold the preview pane is working. Last edited by emacdonald; January 29th, 2010 at 11:18 PM. IMHO, that has got to be one of the weirder work-arounds I've ever seen, however, I have tried it 4 times including across a reboot, and it has worked in all 4 tries. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/540306 Title: Xsane preview window not working in Karmic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsane/+bug/540306/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
