Hi,
<BR>
<P>Still stumped by preview problems. Could anyone who uses Solaris 7 Sparc
<BR>
answer a few question?
<BR>
<P>Scanning seems to work fine, locally, or through the net, using either
<BR>
xscanimage or Xsane, it also works as a Gimp plug-in, scanning directly into a
<BR>
Gimp image window. However, when you attempt to preview, the program will
<BR>
crash immediately upon completion of the preview pass. This is true with both
<BR>
xscanimage and xsane, scanning locally or thought the net, as root, or as a
<BR>
user.
<BR>
<P>The same scanner works on a Linux box without problem, locally, and as a
<BR>
network server. Why don't I keep it on the Linux box? Because it dual boots
<BR>
Windows, and the Windows users keep it busy most of the time. They never
<BR>
touch the Solaris system.
<BR>
<P>Anyway, I am trying to see what's different between the two systems to figure
<BR>
out why the Solaris setup won't preview. Here are some question:
<BR>
<P>1) On the Linux box, the sane libraries and frontends installed with owner
<BR>
root, group root. On the Sun box, they installed with owner root, group other.
<BR>
Is this a normal difference? Any suggestion about how to set owner and group?
<BR>
I tried just resetting group to root and it didn't help.
<BR>
<P>2) On the Linux box, preview images are saved in the user's .sane directory.
<BR>
On the Sun, a .sane directory is created when xscanimage is first used, and
<BR>
the preview images never show up. I guess this just means it never
<BR>
successfully previews, which is the problem. What's normal on a Solaris box?
<BR>
<P>3) There is a difference in behaviour when logged in as a user, scanning
<BR>
through the net backend (through localhost) works, but scanning throught the
<BR>
snapscan backend directly doesn't work (permission denied), whereas root can
<BR>
scan with either the snapscan backend or the net backend. Can't figure out
<BR>
why, since all the sane-related files I can find can be read and/or executed
<BR>
by world. A bit of information that might help is that with debug-sanei-scsi
<BR>
enabled, sanei reports that premission to open the generic device driver
<BR>
/dev/scg0 fails (access denied), whereas, root can do it no problem. This may
<BR>
be a good thing.
<BR>
<P>Any help or suggestions would be very welcome.
<BR>
<P>John
