["Janos G. Komaromi" <jankom@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Christopher M. Penalver, I think we have a major confusion here, and it
is mainly my fault. This is due to my lack of experience with Ubuntu
community and with bug reporting.

The bug I reported is for Xubuntu, not for Ubuntu. "X" is the key word
here.

When I studied the bisect notes and my previous tests I found out that

Precise (a.k.a. 12.04) kernel for Ununtu on live CD (or DVD) is 3.8.0-29
but for xubuntu it is 3.2.0-52

Scanner works on both live CD.

Raring (a.k.a. 13.04) kernel for xubuntu is 3.8.0-19, and scanner is not
recognized, i.e. this bug.

Both Ubuntu and Xubuntu CDs have kernels marked "generic".

It looks like Xubuntu uses different kernels than Ubuntu. Why is that?
Why should desktop user spoace software affect kernel? But these
questions are only due to my "ask stupid questions" mentality.

As far as bisecting is concerned, I don't know where to find the
relevant Xubuntu kernel releases. The bisecting instructions refer only
to Ubuntu releases, not to Xubuntu. It looks like Xubuntu is an .org and
Ubuntu is a .com. Am I in the wrong place reporting the bug?

The bottom line is: I need more help and directions how to proceed.

Thanks,

Janos

Title:
  03f0:1205 Scanner does not work: Simple scan gives a device busy error

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is a virgin installation of 13.04.

  Scanner is not found - reported by Simple scan. I tried Ask Ubuntu,
  but got no answer.

  I have a parallel installation of 12.xx on the same computer, and
  scanner does work. So what is specific about 13.04?

  I have also an old FC-3 installation and the scanner works, using sane
  with xinetd. I notice that 13.04 does not use xinetd. So how is the
  scanner accessed? Whatever it is, it works on 12.xx and does not on
  13.04.

  In terminal mode:
