I tried reading the Kooka documentation, but didn't find anything
useful. I tried connecting with the KDE forums, but the password they
just sent me doesn't work!
I decided to try loading xsane using YaST. When I try to run it, I get
the following error message:
no devices available
Possible reasons:
...
3. The permissions for the device file do not allow you to use it - try
as root
...
I tried running xsane as root, and it works.
Earlier, I learned that the scanner appears to be associated with
/dev/sg0, which ls -l reports as:
crw-r----- 1 root disk 21, 0 2007-09-17 10:03 sg0
Is there something about those permissions I need to change to allow a
program running as a user to work?
