It just works for me. Therefore I can only close it as "worksforme". For your informnation: Since a longer time normal-user access for scanners is granted via the udev/HAL/hal-resmgr machinery which sets an ACL for the scanner's device file. Run 'lsusb' to determine the current USB bus number and device number and then run getfacl /dev/bus/usb/xxx/yyy (replace xxx and yyy with bus number and device number from your particular 'lsusb' output) to see if an ACL is set and if yes, which one and for which user. By default only users which are logged in directly at the computer (i.e. via console "login" or via KDM/XDM but not via remote login) get access granted via the udev/HAL/hal-resmgr machinery. To access the scanner as normal user, udev, HAL, and hal-resmgr are needed to grant appropriate access permissions automatically. Therefore the scanner model must be known to HAL. If the scanner is not known to HAL, a re-plug of a USB scanner should help. Otherwise a reboot should be done to restart the whole udev/HAL/hal-resmgr machinery. Check if the scanner is listed in the 'lshal' output. If even a reboot does not help, you could access the scanner via the 'saned' as a workaround. For this workaround choose 'scanning via network' and select the 'local host configuration' in the YaST scanner config module. Additionally see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners_from_SUSE_LINUX_9.2 -------------------------------------------------------------------- libusb + resmgr + PAM Note that the details change from version to version. Additionally there will be further enhancements (e.g. "udev", "HAL", "hal-resmgr",...). An article regarding scanner setup cannot describe all the details about USB, hotplug, udev, HAL, resmgr/hal-resmgr, PAM, and so on. Refer to the appropriate specific documentation if there are problems in one of these areas. -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
