Hello List, a couple of days ago I bought a new Canon Lide 20 scanner. Although sane supports this scanner fully, I was not able to use this scanner. To be more specific: I managed to install the scanner on my notebook within a few seconds without any problems. On my desktop and on my notebook I have almost the same configuration: Suse 9.3 with all You updates. On my desktop I' ve done the same steps as on my notebook: Plug in the USB cable -> new hardware found -> starting yast scanner module. This is the output: + Initializing scanner configuration + Read or create the scanner database -> Error, Aborting: Failed to create the scanner database I've tried to copy the sane files from the successful notebook installation to the desktop but unfortunately without any success. Unfortunately I did not find any hints in google, so maybe somebody has experienced the same problem before ...
