I have an Epson Perfection 610 USB scaner which worked fine under SuSE 9.3.

Then I upgraded to SuSE 10.0 and now only root can use the scanner. Normal users aparently don't have access to the scanner.

I googled and searched the mailing list, but did not find anything useful.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

If root can and user cannot, dev permissions are wrong or being set incorrectly by a security configuration.

Which dev? I have no /dev/scan* or /dev/usbscan* I think I had this problem a few years ago and I solved it by changing the permissions of /dev/usbscanner0 But with SuSE 10 I have no idea which device it use. It seems to work different now. -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.co.za ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~

Look at the dmesg output after you plug-in (turn on) the scanner. It have to display to which node is attaching the device.

This is what I get in dmesg: usb 1-4: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 8 -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.co.za ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~

See our support database.

I found the SDB entry, but it does not solve my problem, except if I am missing something. In my /etc/resmgr.conf.d/50-scanner.conf I do have the correct entry: add usb:vendor=0x04b8,product=0x0103 scanner If I run sane-find-scanner (as root and as normal user) I get the scanner: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0103 [Perfection610 ]) at libusb:001:008 (As normal user it does not give the vendor and model name in brackets: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x0103) at libusb:001:008 I downloaded and installed the sane-1.0.15-20.1.x86_64.ignore-EBUSY-from-USB.rpm package, but that did not help either. When I start xsane or kooka as normal user, the scanner is not available. -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.co.za ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~
