[Bug 1184165] Re: 03f0:1205 [Asus A7N266VM] Scanner does not work: Simple scan gives a device busy error

 

Christopher M. Penalver, sorry for not expressing myself clearly: what I
meant is that if two kernel versions have the same configurations then I
would expect that they would work the same way. But maybe that is not
the case. What made me suspicious is that a kernel version did work,
then a later version did not, and yet an even later version worked
again. I guess, everything is possible, so it would still make sense to
do a bisect.

Nevertheless, the execise would be academic, since 12.04 works well on
the ASUS desktop as well, including scanner. So even if there were some
obscure kernel reason for the 13.04 scanner busy malfunction it would
not be an improvement benefitting the entire Ubuntu community. Therefore
I'll mark this bug as Status Invalid.

Again, thank you for your attention to this matter.

Janos

Title:
  03f0:1205 [Asus A7N266VM] Scanner does not work: Simple scan gives a
  device busy error

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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:
