(Get the code!)
Since 7.04 I have had to fight Ubuntu to get my scanner (Brother DCP130C) to work. Usually I have to resort to using sudo xsane to get it to launch, then chmod 666 the images after scanning.
I got it going in 8.10 Alpha 6 by going to users and groups and putting a tick in EVERY heading's properties where our name was, and changing the authorisations for directly access scanner, then after updating to the Beta I need to use sudo again.
Likewise I have an issue with syncing my palm, and I think the whole permissions setup for USB devices in UDEV is a nightmare: once things used to work (Gutsy), now (Hardy/Intrepid) they are broken, to all intents and purposes.
Regression indeed - Ubuntu was starting to look like the flavour of Linux that anyone could use, now it has become a geek plaything, and I am not a geek.
Regards,
Bruce
