As I have a Brother scanner I came across the solution in their install guide
1. Open "/lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules" file.
Code: Select all
gksu gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules
2. Edit "0664" to "0666" in "libusb device nodes" section.
Before the edit---------------------------------
# libusb device nodes
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ... , MODE="0664"
After the edit----------------------------------
# libusb device nodes
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ... , MODE="0666"
It's just one digit to change - 4 to 6 This changes the permissions for some USB devices
The next time you reboot it works
And please report back if for some reason you still have to be root - then we have to do soemthing more
I'll be away some time so it may take a while before I can look at it
thank you for your help but now xsane says there is no scanner -- if i change it back to 0664 than i have to go root again
also the scanner utility of mint doesn't find any scanner
(funny thing is i tried the scanner on a xubuntu jaunty system and there it is recognized and i can use it (without root)
this is wat lsub shows
edwinv@edwinv-desktop ~ $ lsusb

so the scanner is detected but xsane nor scanner utility find the scanner
