(1) I've tested 'iscan' & the result is the same failure as 'xsane'. |
2 |
|
3 |
(2) I've checked the contents of /etc/sane.d as they are now, |
4 |
as they were at my last back-up before 180626 (when scanning worked) |
5 |
& as they are in the Mint partition, where scanning still works : |
6 |
there's no significant difference between the 3 versions. |
7 |
|

(3) Following one suggestion, I tried renaming ~/.sane , |
9 |
but that makes no difference either. |
10 |
|
11 |
(4) I've run 'strace' with 'iscan' & on the Mint system : |
12 |
the output is at http://chass.utoronto.ca/~purslow/test/xsane-trace.d1 |
13 |
& the other 2 "trace" files there. The Mint version seems to find |
14 |
a file in /usr/share/iscan-data , which the others don't find, |
15 |
but that file is present in my Gentoo system. |
16 |
|
17 |
Does anyone have experience interpreting Strace output files ? |
18 |
|
19 |
When I updated the kernel recently, I also had to update Nvidia-drivers. |
20 |
Is it possible that that could have affected Xsane + Iscan ? |
21 |
|
22 |
This really is a puzzle : any further suggestions are very welcome. |
23 |
Thanks again for the others so far. |
