SOLVED scanner Epson Perfection 1240 not recognized in SL3.4

Postby luxe » Wed Aug 01, 2007 15:32

Hello, I am running SL 3.4 for several days already and it looks great. Congrats to the devs. Unfortunately thou, my USB scanner (Epson Perfection 1240) is not recognized. It used to work perfectly in 3.26, 3.3, I have never tried the loops but in 3.4a final it does not work neither in live DVD mode nor in installed SL3.4a.

I did search in this forum and found couple of scanner references but unfortunately in languages I do not speak. If you could give me any advise, I will greatly appreciate it. Right now I am away from my box, so I cannot provide any logs or command output but if such is needed I will do it in the evening.

Thanks in advance for any help and for the great distro. You guys rock!

Edit: SL 3.4e solved the problem. Seems in the new release the scanner is working fine again. Good job devs.

A little bit of update on the issue. Last night I checked the 'proc' for info on the scanner and could not find any reference. The /proc/bus/usb/devices lists all other USB devices but the scanner. I am not very knowledgeable in the area of kernel modules and drivers but looks to me the problem lays in that area. Even from some HOWTOs I checked seems it is even lower level than scanner driver may be USB driver.

Any way I tried the LSBE 1.0 and it recognized the scanner and it worked perfectly under it as it was with all previous releases of LS. So I can say very confidently it is SL3.4a specific issue. If no body comes with any suggestion on how to get the scanner working seems I will have to switch to LSBE even if I like a lot the 3D effects (getting the job done is more important to me than eye candy) :(

Any advise is very welcome. May be copying some .config files from LSBE to LS3.4a or rebuilding certain package (may be USB drivers).

Same here, dmesg says
usb 2-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 10
[423116.235691] Device driver usbdev2.10_ep00 lacks bus and class support for being resumed.
[423116.235706] usb 2-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

This is after I unplug and plug it back in.

Same message when booting

Thanks
