The initial comment in this report is (shortened): --------------------------------------------------------------- configured scanner using control-center -> hardware -> scanner. test scan said ok. $ xsane a popup flashes for 0.1sec: "scanning for devices" or similar then a popup 'no devices available' [close] [help] One of the suggestions displayed by pressing the help button, is 'try as root' xsane indeed works when called as root. ---------------------------------------------------------------
When I have recognised that the yast scanner-test was ok, but still no effect for the user, I looked for a user group scan, but didn't find any.
I think I cannot implement such a test for the group because the YaST scanner config runs as root and I don't know "inside" the scanner config which normal user account would be used later to access the scanner. I don't like the idea to inspect /etc/passwd if there is a user account where the the numerical user ID is >= 1000 and/or where the numerical primary group ID for the user is 100 or where the user's home directory seems to be located on the local host or whatever else magic to find out which normal user account might be used later to access the scanner.
