I first have this problem (Kooka not detecting mi Epson 1250 USB scanner) on KUbuntu 8.04. However, my system does correctly detect a Pinnacle Studio PCTV card. Then I read some thread about running it as "kdesu kooka" and it started working for some time. After that I reinstalled KUbuntu but this time to version 8.04.1 and having separated my "/home" folder onto a different a partition. And now kooka does again not detect the scanner even if I run as "kdesu kooka" or "sudo kooka" from the command line. I tried to reinstall Xsane and Kooka from Synaptic but this didn't work. Oh, and by the way I observed that when package reinstallation has finished, Synaptic window wouldn't close (I had to xkill it). Now, when I run "kdesu kooka" I get a message telling that "dcopserver is not running" before Kooka opens up. Typing "sudo scanimage -L" throws the following output " device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname BT878 video (Pinnacle PCTV Stud virtual device " (last line from "device" is blank). What can I do? Apart from scanning within Vista, you know...
