If you want to use libusb, unload the kernel driver</div><div> (e.g. rmmod scanner under Linux) or disable the driver when compiling a</div><div> new kernel. For Linux, your kernel needs support for the USB filesystem</div><div> (usbfs). For kernels older than 2.4.19, replace "usbfs" with "usbdevfs"</div><div> because the name has changed. This filesystem must be mounted. That's</div><div> done automatically at boot time, if /etc/fstab contains a line like</div><div> this:</div><div><br></div><div> none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0</div><div><br></div><div> The permissions for the device files used by libusb must be adjusted</div><div> for user access. Otherwise only root can use SANE devices. For Linux,</div><div> the devices are located in /proc/bus/usb/ or in /dev/bus/usb, if you</div><div> use udev. There are directories named e.g. "001" (the bus name) con‐</div><div> taining files "001", "002" etc. (the device files). The right device</div><div> files can be found out by running scanimage -L as root. Setting permis‐</div><div> sions with "chmod" is not permanent, however. They will be reset after</div><div> reboot or replugging the scanner.</div><div><br></div><div>Okay, do I need to make it look like:</div><div><br></div><div> none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 6 6</div><div><br></div><div>or what do I need to do? </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="h5"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 22, 2015 at 2:10 PM, Michael Havens <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bmike1@gmail.com" target="_blank">bmike1@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I then tried:<div><br></div><div><div> scanimage>test.scn</div><div> scanimage: no SANE devices found</div></div><div><br></div></div>
