USB scanner no longer works for user in 6.7
I recently did a fresh installation of 6.7 on a system previously running 6.4. The USB scanner worked fine with sane and xsane as a user in 6.4 but now it's only detected by root. Obviously I'm overlooking a permission problem but so far haven't found it.
Relevant line from dmesg: Code:
ugen0 at uhub2 port 2 "Ultima USB Scanner" rev 1.10/1.00 addr 2 Code:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x05d8, product=0x4006 [USB Scanner], chip=GT-6816) at libusb:002:002 Code:

Someone reported the same problem (scanner only identified under the root user) on misc@ and found the solution in the pkg-readme:

Thanks. The pkg-readme had the information I needed.
The scanner is on /dev/usb2 which only had read permission for wheel group. 'chmod g+w /dev/usb2' fixed it. |
