Hi all
I am facing something new (to me)
I got an Epson scanner flatbed etc ..; supported by xsane 32 bits libs +
firmware from the windows install disc (esfw52.bin)
I got it to work flawlessly on a Debian stable machine.
I moved it to an Opensuse 13.1, for various reasons, got it to work too.
However I am facing 2 problems :
1. Starting xsane as user sends me back insufficient rights .. despite
adding user as a member of the scanner group.
2. Ok let's run it as root in the meantime : all work but only for a
bit. if I leave it inactive for too long, that's it ! the scanner
seems to have disappeared as if there was a time out or something.
Coincidentally I do have the same issue with my wireless keyboard, if I
leave it for a bit it takes a bit of time for, let's say, write
something in a terminal.
So ... my questions are :
* Why as added to the scanner group I can't get the rights to use the
scanner ?
* How is the usb managed with 3.11.10-7-desktop ? or is it a UEFI
thing that gets in my way ?
As I mentioned before works like a treat under Debian Stable. But that
is beside the point, I want to understand what is happening
Many thanks
E
