I can normally use my scanner as user, but today, after pluggin it in, I can't. Xsane says that no device was found... but if run it as root, there is no problem.
Regardless which openSUSE version you run, the udev/HAL/hal-resmgr stuff has never worked really reliably. If you run openSUSE 11.1 the current bug report is https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450351 but it was the same in certain cases all the time in the past since we use the udev/HAL/hal-resmgr stuff. In particular note https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438867#c3 and https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438867#c5 At some time it has also worked for openSUSE 11.1 but now it seems to fail again - just the usual unstable udev/HAL/hal-resmgr stuff all the time since it exists... As workaround access it via the saned (which runs as root) if your worksation is in a trusted internal network and when a firewall protects it from external access. In the YaST scanner module choose 'scanning via network' and select the 'local host configuration'. Usually this workaround is the only feasible solution for non-experts to get access permissions for normal users if there is an issue in the udev/HAL/hal-resmgr magic.
