Hi all,
I’ve just installed (and fully upgraded) OpenSUSE 13.1 x86_64.
I got a Canon USB scanner, CanoScan LiDE25: it’s quite old, but I didn’t mind to change it possibly.
This scanner works well (after a long search for the right drivers…) under Win7 32bit, and worked perfectly with OpenSUSE 11.4 and Fedora 17.
Some problems begins to arise with Fedora 19: it’s necessary to stop sane-backend rpm package upgrades to release 1.0.22.
Now, under OpenSUSE 13.1 (and Fedora 20) it’s still correctly recognized from the USB layer, but Sane does not handle it anymore.
Looking around with google, there are at least three categories of problems on modern kernels with usb scanners:
- Some linux distributions does not prepare the folder /var/lock/sane, needed from the backend
- Some times SANE installation does not set the correct values for kernel modules (such as usbcore on kernels > 3.7) to selectively disable USB device suspension
- Some times “plustek” backend scanner connection protocol seems to start correctly but simply ends with a generic "I/O error
".
The observed behaviour for OpenSUSE and CanoScan Lide25 is of the third category.
I’ve tried other linux distributions (all on VM machines) in their latest releases: Fedora, Mint, *ubuntu, OpenMandriva… The only one still able to correctly support this scanner is PCLinuxOS: it’s still based on kernel 3.4.70 and sane-backend 1.0.22 (xsane 0.998).
I’ve tried to compare the output of the following commands between OpenSUSE 13.1 and PCLinuxOS:**
export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=20**
scanimage -T -d plustek:libusb:003:002
(USB numbers change at each cable insertion: 003:005, 003:006 and so on)
but the result log is quite big and it’s not simple to understand where the problem really arises.
Following thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1288679
I’ve changed the rule /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules with this line:# Canon scanners that look like MTP devices (PID 0x22nn)
ATTR{idVendor}==“04a9”, ATTR{idProduct}=="22", ATTR{power/autosuspend_delay_ms}="-1", ATTR{power/control}=“on”, GROUP=“users”, MODE=“775”, SYMLINK+=“lide25”, GOTO=“libmtp_rules_end”
*
…the simbolic link /dev/lide25 has been created, but the result is always a wonderful I/O Error.
Can someone help me to face this problem? On my humble opinion, it shouldn’t be related to USB suspension, but to some kind of bug introduced in plustek 1.0.23 backend code… is it possible to install a previous version of this package avoiding problems with the package update service?
thanks, and happy 2014 to all.
