YaST setup is trying to configure equipment so that normal user can operate it. It can see your normal group called users and set all permissions as appropriate, but if you are logged in as root than it will be all set that only root can operate equipment.
OK, I tried the following steps:
1. disconnected the scanner 2. logged on with my normal user account 3. started YaST 4. gave it the root password 5. invoked the scanner configuration screen 6. deleted the entry for the scanner and clicked Finish 7. shut down YaST 8. re-connected the scanner 9. started YaST again 10. gave it the root password 11. invoked the scanner screen again 12. YaST detected the scanner 13. selected the line for the scanner 14. clicked Edit 15. confirmed that the correct driver was selected 16. clicked Next 17. clicked Finish 18. closed YaST
I still can't see the scanner as a normal user. Is this what you were recommending I do? Did I miss a step?
No. Tough, if I would have to troubleshoot configuration made while I was logged in as root user, I would probably try to remove scanner configuration logged in as root, remove sane package, than reboot [1] log in as user and configure scanner as you described. That will be complete reversal of procedure, but even than it is not sure that all old configuration files are removed. Sincerely as it is now it demands real troubleshooting, which would require somebody from YaST team or similar expertise. Have you checked your default permissions as Carlos suggested in /etc/sysconfig/security default is PERMISSION_SECURITY="easy local" [1] While many complain on rebooting as a solution it's a short and dirty way to get system in as clean state as possible. It doesn't help when configuration files are messed up, but it helps to get all services shut down and start again. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
