I've got a USB scanner hooked up to my SuSE 9.2 box. When I first was installing SuSE I had a problem where it YaST sees the scanner, but Kooka can't see it. I got help from the list regarding protections that solved the problem. Now, I normally keep the scanner off unless I'm going to use it. Today I fired it up and I'm back where I was at the beginning. I get no errors, and YaST says the scanner is connected, but Kooka can't see it.
What file (or device) needed its ownership (or protections) changed so that all users can use the scanner? Am I causing a problem by shutting the scanner off when not in use?
This also brings up another question. I went to the archives to look for the original email and all I could find was a site with emails separated by month. There seemed to be no search tool. Is there a way to search the archives other than by popping into each month and doing a text search?
