SuSE 10.0: scanner only works for root

Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I'd like to review the fix for a "scanner problem"
for which sane might be wrongly suspected.

I have a Canon LiDE 20.  I upgraded to SuSE 10.0, and installed a lot of
stuff.  Now the scanner would only work for root - the users received "no
device found".  I assumed that this was a scan device permissions problem, and
wasted a lot of time fiddling with device permissions.

The solution in my case was to run  /sbin/resmgr list  and notice that nothing
authorised the Canon scanner.  Since 10.0, SuSE have a new policy for resmgr: 
if it isn't specifically authorized, it's forbidden.  Read this good news at
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Scanner_Setup_from_SUSE_Linux_10.0 .

For some reason I don't understand, YaST wasn't creating file
/etc/resmgr.conf.d/50-scanner.conf which sets up the resmgr permissions for
the scanner, so I created a file /etc/resmgr.conf.d/51-scanner.conf which
contains:

  # Allow access to Canon LiDE 20
  add usb:vendor=0x04a9,product=0x220d scanner

Once resmgrd was restarted the scanner was available to the users.

Best Regards,
Roger

Brother DCP-115C Combo

Hi!

I'm reporting (as requested in libsane.usermap) that I managed to get the
scanner part of Brother DCP-115C scanner-printer-copier-cardreader combo working
on Ubuntu 5.10.

I used the Brother-supplied drivers from:

http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/sane_drivers.html

and added the following lines to /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap

# Brother|DCP 115C
libusbscanner 0x0003 0x04f9 0x018c 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
0x00000000

Hello Lonny, 

sorry I'm bad programmer, but a better chemistry / mechanics guy.

1) Paperjam? 
Perhaps it's frequency is concerning to bad rubber conditions.

I cannot guess what exactly happened on your particular system
(I don't have a Canon LiDE 20 but for my LiDE 30 it works well).
If you like you can inspect /var/log/YaST2/y2log
where YaST writes tons of logging and debug messages.

This is a perfectly right solution in this case.

what are you going on about? perhaps it is poor translation, but if i 
understand you correctly, you are having problems with your scanner? can 
you elaborate?

For newer Linux kernels which use udev, the file can also be lcoated
in /dev/bus/usb/001/002 (or similar).

E.g. Debian, SuSE, Redhat.

I don't know wexactly where Redhat explains how SANE permissions are
integrated. Maybe you can find docuemantation on their Website?
If not, ask their support or ask in newsgroups.

Thanks. I'll add it to libsane.usermap.

Thanks for your report. I'll add the scanner to our lists.

ERROR: eula text not found. Looks like xsane is not installed correct.

Hello, Everyone
Before I bothered you all, I looked at the many answers to all the
other times that this question has been asked in the past.
Unfortunately, none of them seems to answer my problem.

1. Downloaded xsane-0.991
2. Configured and compiled it with the following command:
"./configure --prefix=/usr/local
--with-gimp-prefix=/usr/local/2006-03-31 && make" 3. As root, ran "make
install" 4. As regular user, ran "/usr/local/bin/xsane"
5. Got the following error message:
[xsane] ERROR: eula text not found. Looks like xsane is not installed
correct.

That much you expected to see just by looking at the subject line.
Next, I did the logical thing and found out where my working copy of
xsane keeps the "eula" file.  I found it located as follows:
/usr/share/sane/xsane/xsane-eula.txt

Therefore, I would assume that since "/usr/local" is in my path, and
since I configured xsane 0.991 to be installed in "/usr/local", that
"xsane-eula.txt" should be located in
"/usr/local/share/sane/xsane/xsane-eula.txt"  Since logic says that it
should be there, and I got an error message stating that xsane could
not find it, one would assume that
"/usr/local/share/sane/xsane/xsane-eula.txt" did not get installed.
Unfortunatlely, it is installed where it is supposed to be.  As a
result, I am at a loss.  The version that ships with Fedora Core 5
installs "xsane-eula.txt" as /usr/share/sane/xsane/xsane-eula.txt.
That version works perfectly for me.  The version that I compiled from
