I've just tried to configure scanbd under Ubuntu 18.10 and ran into same trouble.
Scanner device is available: # scanimage -L device `plustek:libusb:002:007' is a Canon CanoScan LiDE25 flatbed scanner But after starting scanbd it terminates with message that it is not available: # scanbd -f -d 7 -c /etc/scanbd/scanbd.conf scanbd: dbus match type='signal',interface='org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager' scanbd: SANE_CONFIG_DIR not set scanbd: no devices, not starting any polling thread I come from Ubuntu 16.04.5 where it worked perfectly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1747115 Title: scanbd does not find scanner To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scanbd/+bug/1747115/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
