I have the same problem with my Epson Perfection 1240. I had no problems in FC1. Having this very same problem with a Mustek Bearpaw 1200. I disagree that the severity is low. This should be changed to sane-backends since /etc/hotplug/usb/libusbscanner (and usbcam, which is less conspicuous because most people use digital cameras as usb-storage devices and/or connect them after login) belongs to this package. I suppose this is the same as bug #122595. *** Bug 126508 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 121511 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: My USB scanner AGFA SNAPSCAN 1212U_2 is well handled by hotplug if plugged in AFTER system startup and user login. But when the scanner is running BEFORE booting, permissions in /proc/bus/usb/xyz are not set appropriately so that a normal user might run it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hotplug-2004_04_01-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect and switch on scanner 2. Boot & log in as normal user 3. scanimage -L Actual Results: No scanners were identified. Expected Results: device `snapscan:libusb:002:002' is a AGFA SNAPSCAN 1212U_2 flatbed scanner Additional info: As /etc/hotplug/usb/libusbscanner gives the ownership of $DEVICE to $CONSOLEOWNER, permissions aren't set before any login. This could be fixed by simply setting 'chmod 0666 "$DEVICE"' in the libusbscanner script. I can't imagine any bad security risks about that ...
