Hi,

Are you saying that this option was not enabled for you? If you
enable it do you no longer need to scan as root?

If so, can you answer a couple of questions please? Are you the first
user created on this machine? What version of Ubuntu was installed on
the machine first (that has been upgraded to the current version,
not that has been re-installed)?

Thanks,

James
