[gentoo-user] xfce4 4.10 xsane and Application --> Run Program not working

[gentoo-user] xfce4 4.10 xsane and Application --> Run Program not working

[Joseph]

I just upgraded to xfce4 4.10 but two program are not working:

1.) USB scanner, when I run xsane nothing is detected

"lsusb" is listed the scanner:
...
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 04b8:011b Seiko Epson Corp. Perfection 2400 Photo

in /etc/sane.d/epson2.conf
# epson2.conf
# USB
usb
net autodiscovery

So why is usb scanner not detected?

2.) Application --> Run Program 
a windows pups up.  When I type: nano 1.txt

Nothing happens.

Please be more specific about 'nothing'.  Does nano just close immediately
with no error message?  Does it hang forever until you hit ^C, or what?

What do you see if you type 'which nano'?  What about 'echo $PATH'?

which nano gives me:
/usr/bin/nano

I can run nano from command line but when type nano + file name in "Run Program" it should open that file but it doesn't, no windows pops up.

Since I haven't installed XFCE it's a bit of guesswork: have you tried
"xterm nano"?
That works for me (I'm using gnome, though). You could also try to run
a program with a gui (like firefox).
I don't think that it ever worked for me to enter a shell command and
actually see the result in a window.

No, "xterm nano" doesn't work either.

More information than "doesn't work either" please.  For example:

Does xterm alone (or whatever terminal you use) start?
Does nano start in tty?
Does your Xsession error log record anything when '"xterm nano" doesn't
work'?

Kerwin.

No, "xterm nano" doesn't work but "!nano" does.

When I try to run xsane it gives me:
"Supported devices are busy"

How do I find out which program was upgraded and related to "xsane"?

When I run as root:
scanimage -L (it finds the scanner)
device `epson2:libusb:002:003' is a Epson GT-9300 flatbed scanner

when I run it as user:
scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

Any pointers why it can not detect scanner as user?

You are correct, the user wasn't in a scanner group :-/
