xsane responds extremely slowly to scan request

[Wolf Rogner]

Ubuntu 8.04 with Canon FB636U (USB scanner).

Scan takes ages to start. (both aquire preview and scan).

Not really a bug but a annoyance.

Other than this, I like the feature

Unfortunately, now xsane does not react at all.

What do you mean by it does not react at all? Does xsane open? Can you scan? Please provide some more information on the current state of your issue. Thanks in advance.

Hope this is the right place. After the recent kernel update to 2.6.24-27-generic my xsane 0.995 in ubuntu 8.04 LTS tak a very long time to start up. Before the kernel update i have the xsane application up in a second now it takes about 10min.

After that it all works well. Very odd behavior.

What info can I sent?

The scanner is a Canon CanoScan Lide 25.

Hope for help.

Regards

Tested the scanner (and a USB-microscope) from LiveCD ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala.

The xsane respond within a second...

So, from ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, the xsane and the scanner CanoScan LIDE 25 works but not from ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron LTS.

Can anyone, please, tell me if I have to 'upgrade' or if I can do something to speed up the xsane respond in ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron LTS.

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS is EOL on the desktop. Is your bug fixed now? Thank you for telling us!

[Wolf Rogner (war-rsb)]

No. Why would it be. Still the same libraries.
Scanner does not respond to scan queries

Vuescan works fine, so there is nothing wrong with the scanner.

Wolf Rogner. is this an issue in a supported release? If so, could you please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:
apport-collect 227002

[Wolf Rogner (war-rsb)]

Yes this never changed

The symptoms are:

using scanimage -L shows the scanner
doing a scan with simple scan takes more than 5 minutes to start the scan.

Scanning ONCE from a VM running Windows and then reverting to Ubuntu starts the scan immediately.
(I have no clue as of why)

The scan has a distinct blue hue (which again under Windows is not there). The settings in dconf do not help.
