I am having the same problem, also with my all-in-one HP printer/scanner. HP-Toolbox is suffering from the same problem and I think they are related.
If I start kooka as root from a terminal I get this error message: Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-marc" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. Error: "/tmp/ksocket-marc" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. Changing permissions to rw doesn't change anything though. I think it's the ownership that is the problem here. (I'm not 100% sure though) Oddly enough if I start kooka with root permission it does detect my scanner properly. The same goes for HP-Toolbox. Both work fine when started with root permissions but my regular user cannot use my scanner. This leads me to believe that this is a permission issue. I'm using Kubuntu Hardy Beta x86_64 KDE3.5 completely up to date. -- xscan not connecting with scanner and crashing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
