 |
|
Hi!
I've got a problem with my scanner. I can only use it as root.
Of course i already used the search function and did exactly the same things as the other people with that kind of prob.:
1. emerge libusb hotplug sane-backends sane-frontends
2. started hotplug and added it to default runlevel
3. put my scanner in /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap (with the right ids)
4. made a script: /etc/hotlug/usb/scanner to change permissons when scanner is detected
5. usb 0x04b8 0x0802 in /etc/sane.d/epson.conf
But still i can't access the scanner as normal user. I checked everything a hundred times so surely no typos!
I hope someone could help me.
Nice greetings from bavaria,
Felix

Maybe add your users to usb in /etc/group?

Could you post the script you wrote ?
This post might help as well. |

/etc/hotplug/usb/scanner looks like this:
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
if [ "${ACTION}" = "add" ] && [ -f "${DEVICE}" ]
then
chown root "${DEVICE}"
chgrp users "${DEVICE}"
chmod 660 "${DEVICE}"
fi

As mentioned in the linked post above, this script did not work for me. The chxxx comands are not executed. Try mine or the one that comes with the latest version of sane-backends (/etc/hotplug/usb/libusbscanner). The latter should work on udev systems as well.

The difference to your script is actually just the "-e". I also tried this but it still didn't work. Looks like my script doesn't start at all.

I suppose your script name matches the name in your usb.usermap. Is it executable? It's clearly that either the script is not run at all or it does not change the permissions. Check the other discussion I am having at the moment at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=172556&start=4
