Christopher, OK. Forgive me for a stupid question: bisect what? If it is
the kernel that to blame, and if kervel versions are sequential, how
come 3.2 0-52 works, 3.8.0-19 does not, then 3.8.0-29 works again, then
3.11.0-8 does not? What does Precise, Raring or Saucy has to do with
kernel working or not? My understanding is that the various flavors
(Precis, Saucy, Raring) have different features and packaging,
supposedly better user experience, but they are built around some
kernels, such as 3.2, 3.8 or 3.11. I would like to fully understand what
I'm doing before starting.

Please, understand that I'm not trying to be difficult, but I'm confused
about the fact that one kernel works, the next doesn't, the next works
again, and so on. So should I simply bysect kernels in Xubuntu Precise
and Raring? Raring already does not work, so why go to Saucy? Please,
explain.

Maybe I totally miss the point. I studied the "bysect" link you sent me
and this is why I have these questions.

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:
