supp (In reply to comment #0) > When XSane runs as root, scanning works correctly. Usually runs as root, fails as user is a priv problem. I would try adding the "saned" group to the user's account. Be careful that you do not change the users primary group. There is a known dbus limit problem on 64 bit installs. I would suggest installing my solution just to rule out a dbus problem. https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8473#c2 CC:

junk_no_spam Group "saned" is not standard linux group after instalation. I created this group and add it to user. But without solution. (I'm not sure I created a group correctly) (In reply to comment #2) > Group "saned" is not standard linux group after instalation. Well I always install the saned rpm and wind up with an entry in passwd and group. If you have not installed the saned rpm remove your saned group and do so. If you did install the saned rpm, you should have something like $ grep sane /etc/passwd saned:x:481:414:system user for saned:/home/saned:/bin/false saned:x:414: uid/gid is variable depending on what is installed before the installation of saned rpm. There is a bug report against the /home/snaned. After install I mkdir -p /var/saned and change /home/saned to /var/saned Not solution. I still have error. I make this steps 1. remove created group saned 2. check /etc/group and /etc/passwd - saned not found 3. install rpm saned-1.0.23-2.mga3 4. check /etc/passwd - found: saned:x:489:482:system user for saned:/home/saned:/bin/false 5. check /etc/group - found: saned:x:482: 6. add group saned to user 7. in /etc/passwd changed /home/saned to /var/saned 8. create mkdir -p /var/saned (In reply to comment #4) > Not solution. I still have error. > 6. add group saned to user I hope you logged out/in before testing. Anytime you change group for a user, that user has to log out/in to get the group change. If you made the change I suggested in comment 1, and have rebooted, and test fails, I have no other suggestions. (In reply to comment #5) > I hope you logged out/in before testing.

I forgot to write. > If you made the change I suggested in comment 1, and have rebooted, and test > fails, I have no other suggestions. Thank you for your efforts. (In reply to comment #6) > Ofcourse. My last step (after step 6) was rebooting all computer. I forgot to > write. Excuse me. I make reboot after step 8. The problem is solved. I went back to comment #1. The solution is described in the bug 8473. Add group "saned" to user is not required. > (In reply to comment #1) > > There is a known dbus limit problem on 64 bit installs.
