Description

I am a developer on the iscan/epkowa package. When testing iscan compatibility with the Fedora 12 Beta I came upon this problem. Using an Epson PX-A620 (product/vendor id: 04b8/082f) I can scan with scanimage via the provided epson2 backend only as root. As a regular user I get permissions errors. I've seen problems with SELinux in the past, so tried disabling it, but that didn't change the situation. The PX-A620 is listed in /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/19-libsane.fdi. What happened to scanner permissions in Fedora 12? iscan uses the distribution's libsane fdi and udev rules (if available) files to create its own, so if permissions don't work for the scanners supported by the distribution itself, they won't work for iscan either. How could it be that Felix had no permissions problems with his Canon scanner? Felix, did you install any software in addition to sane-backends? It would be a real shame to release Fedora 12 with broken scanner permissions. No, I did not install any additional packages to use my scanners. The Canon LIDE 20 worked out of the box, my Epson Stylus SX405 only worked after adding "usb 0x4b8 0x84a" to /etc/sane.d/epson2.conf and then again only when xsane is running as root. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 512516 *** |
