Question #77262 on xsane in ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsane/+question/77262
Tom proposed the following answer: Yep, go up to the top taskbar and click on System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager it asks for your normal user password, not your SuperUser/Root one. Use either search tool (but i prefer the "Search" button because it searches descriptions as well as titles) to search for "xsane". Note that everything already installed on your machine is marked by a green splodge. To install something new right-click on it and select install and then click on the "Apply" button. While you're in Synaptic it might be worth searching for "canoscan 3000F" or just "canoscan" just to see if it finds anything extra that might be helpful. Oh, also while there it's worth clicking on "Mark all updates". Err, you might also find this guide helpful to reference for odd things here and there https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows And i also found this good to work through after installing Ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu I went with non-free components which i haven't had to pay for but would like to one day leave all that behind and go completely OpenSource to really free myself. In the meantime i just want to be able to watch movies and stuff without hassle. Anyway, good luck and regards from Tom :) -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
