As user, it said there was no scanner. As root, it worked. I disconnected the scanner, replugged, it worked as user again. lshal output, when it did not work, and when it worked, was absolutely identical (cmp says so), with no mention of the scanner. I used this command: lshal | tee lshal-1 | less -S and both files do not contain the string "Epson". However, if I do: lshal | less -S then the string is there... the two command give different output: 1341 lines the first version, 3450 the second. Go figure. Thus, the information I got is invalid. Is that a bug in "tee"? kernel log: Aug 19 21:28:02 nimrodel kernel: hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 2 Aug 19 21:28:02 nimrodel kernel: usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 Aug 19 21:28:02 nimrodel kernel: usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Aug 19 21:28:02 nimrodel kernel: usb 4-2: New USB device found, idVendor=04b8, idProduct=0110 Aug 19 21:28:02 nimrodel kernel: usb 4-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Aug 19 21:28:02 nimrodel kernel: usb 4-2: Product: EPSON Scanner Aug 19 21:28:02 nimrodel kernel: usb 4-2: Manufacturer: EPSON Aug 19 21:30:59 nimrodel kernel: ppdev0: registered pardevice Aug 19 21:30:59 nimrodel kernel: ppdev0: unregistered pardevice Aug 19 21:31:46 nimrodel kernel: ppdev0: registered pardevice Aug 19 21:31:46 nimrodel kernel: ppdev0: unregistered pardevice Aug 19 21:32:52 nimrodel kernel: ppdev0: registered pardevice Aug 19 21:32:52 nimrodel kernel: ppdev0: unregistered pardevice Aug 19 21:37:53 nimrodel kernel: ppdev0: registered pardevice Aug 19 21:37:53 nimrodel kernel: ppdev0: unregistered pardevice Aug 19 21:37:59 nimrodel kernel: usb 4-2: USB disconnect, address 2 Aug 19 21:38:04 nimrodel kernel: usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 Aug 19 21:38:04 nimrodel kernel: usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Aug 19 21:38:04 nimrodel kernel: usb 4-2: New USB device found, idVendor=04b8, idProduct=0110 Aug 19 21:38:04 nimrodel kernel: usb 4-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Aug 19 21:38:04 nimrodel kernel: usb 4-2: Product: EPSON Scanner Aug 19 21:38:04 nimrodel kernel: usb 4-2: Manufacturer: EPSON Aug 19 21:38:13 nimrodel kernel: ppdev0: registered pardevice Aug 19 21:38:13 nimrodel kernel: ppdev0: unregistered pardevice Message log: Aug 19 21:30:59 nimrodel xsane: io/hpmud/pp.c 627: unable to read device-id ret=-1 Aug 19 21:31:46 nimrodel xsane: io/hpmud/pp.c 627: unable to read device-id ret=-1 Aug 19 21:32:12 nimrodel su: (to root) cer on /dev/pts/4 Aug 19 21:32:29 nimrodel gconfd (root-20688): starting (version 2.22.0), pid 20688 user 'root' Aug 19 21:32:29 nimrodel gconfd (root-20688): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only configuration source at position 0 Aug 19 21:32:29 nimrodel gconfd (root-20688): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/root/.gconf" to a writable configuration source at position 1 Aug 19 21:32:29 nimrodel gconfd (root-20688): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only configuration source at position 2 Aug 19 21:32:29 nimrodel gconfd (root-20688): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.vendor" to a read-only configuration source at position 3 Aug 19 21:32:29 nimrodel gconfd (root-20688): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.schemas" to a read-only configuration source at position 4 Aug 19 21:32:52 nimrodel xsane: io/hpmud/pp.c 627: unable to read device-id ret=-1 Aug 19 21:32:59 nimrodel gconfd (root-20688): GConf server is not in use, shutting down.

If this happens to somebody else, the method of solving the issue seems to be to unplug/replug the usb cable to the scanner. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
