This problem only occurs when I use Kooka (doesn't matter whether it's the version that ships with Fedora Core 2, or the one on CVS HEAD.) I tried scanning an image earlier using xsane, and it worked just fine. Here is a link to an image that I Just scanned (using "xsane", to show that the scanner works just fine: http://www.faith4miracle.org/kooka/JoeyRamone.jpg When I start any version of Kooka (for this experiment, I will start Kooka while su'd into root. This is what the GUI looks like: http://www.faith4miracle.org/kooka/kooka-1.jpg Then I proceed to do a "Preview Scan" This is what the GUI looks like then: http://www.faith4miracle.org/kooka/kooka-2.jpg If I try to do a "Final Scan", this is what the GUI looks like: http://www.faith4miracle.org/kooka/kooka-3.jpg You will notice that these are identical screen shots. This is because whether I choose "Preview Scan" or "Final Scan", nothing appears to be scanned. The only configuration file I could find was in "~/.kde/share/config" I tried deleting that and retrying what I described above, to no avail. At the following location, you will find a tarball of the terminal window outputs that I got when I tried a Preview and a Final scan. In the same tarball, you will find straces of attempts at Preview and Final scans. http://www.faith4miracle.org/kooka/kooka-logs.tar.bz2 Root is the group and user of /proc/bus/usb/001/013 Also, root does have read, write and execute permissions on this device. One thing I just thought of: I can't remember for sure, but should I have a /dev/scanner? I can't remember if I had one in the past, or if that is relevant with a USB scanner. All I know is that I don't have one now. Operating System: Fedora Core 2, All Packages installed, All official Updates installed (Except the kernel) QT: 3.3.3 from TrollTech source tarball KDE: CVS HEAD QT and KDE paths are both exported in my ~/.bash_profile.  I did not overwrite the FC2 default KDE. In closing, this same scanner, using Kooka from the CVS HEAD version of KDE, used to work perfectly, never giving me a moment of trouble. Like I stated earlier, and proved with an example for your viewing, this same scanner that does not work with kooka, does work just fine with xsane. I will be glad to answer any questions that this problem might require. Have a Great Day Steven P.
