Fwiw, this is likely to be such a common usability problem, LinuxMint decided to provide more useful sane-airscan version directly in their repositories for mint20.1 based open focal20.04. https://github.com/linuxmint/linuxmint/issues/327
Since, Focal 20.04LTS does not have 'sane-airscan' package I think ubuntu should look at providing/backporting this more easily for focal users -- that is, not requiring a convoluted hidden process requiring manual search for bug-reports/PPAs, with no clue to the user this may be needed, and so-on. Any "Driver-manager" etc could assist with the sane-airscan adding / sane-backends+escl-backport options. ** Bug watch added: github.com/linuxmint/linuxmint/issues #327 https://github.com/linuxmint/linuxmint/issues/327 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1891682 Title: [MIR] sane-airscan To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-airscan/+bug/1891682/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
