Hi all, I recently updated my 7.1 to 7.2 and all went well, except for few things: the scanner is recognised but only root seems to see the device with `find-scanner`, however every user sees it with `scsicheck`. I tried to change the permission from 640 to 644, but nothing happens. When I try to scan something for example with `kdesu gimp`, the application found the scanner and if I select it, it warn me not to continue as root or to continue at my own risk! So I not continue... Please help me! In the previous installation (7.1) all work perfectly, and I don't know what's happened. Thank you for your attention.

You are changing the permissions for the scanners entry and not for the symlink correct? I had this problem recently. Turns out I was attmepting to change the permissions for the symlink and not the correct scsi device. Run xsane as root and find in the info option which device it's using for the scanner. Then you'll know which to chmod. In my case it was /dev/sgc you're may be differant. Harold - -- ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ???????????????????????????????

Mine is /dev/sg0 and I try to change the permission to this file. I try to use the scanner as root ignoring the advice and all works fine. My user is in disk group (the group of /dev/sg0), and has the right permission to read from this device. Maybe it should also have write permissions? Thank you Ambrosius, have a nice day Emillo

I think the proper permissions should be 666. 'w' permissions are needed just as much as 'r' because how else would the scanner know exactly when to start scanning? You wouldn't want it scanning at random, would you? Things like button configuration and lamp control also need write access afaik. -- noodlez: Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 0x3A1446A0

YES. if the user does not have write permissions they cannot send commands to the scanner. Personally I've got my scanner's device entry set to 666 I'd recomend: chmod 666 /dev/sg0 That should fix it for ya.

thank you very much, it works perfectly!!! BTW, can you point me to a good true type mono-spaced font which is good for the Konsole and with anti-alias?? I found that courier-new is pretty good, but `mc` does not draw correctly the horizontal & vertical lines. Same with other fonts that I grabbed from my win partition. I bet that there is some sort of font that can do this.
