Maybe it is time for a new distro

su: user /usr/share/sane/gt68xx does not exist

I found this solution
I've got a Mustek 1200 UB Plus (don't know if it's the same as the Pro ?) and managed to make it work by doing the following:

1. Open the file /etc/sane.d/gt68xx.conf

2. Change the line


#override "mustek-scanexpress-1200-ub-plus"

to:

override "mustek-scanexpress-1200-ub-plus"

Now the scanner is correctly recognized as a 1200 UB Plus and xsane also looks for the correct firmware (sbfw.usb, which must be in /usr/share/sane/gt68xx)

But how can I change that line,how can I have that permission? Believe me this will be my last question.If I make the scanner work I will take a break.

 

install sane from yumex as well sane extras if they give trouble then do the mv file by default its not installed

 

vi /etc/sane.d/gt68xx.conf

then for there use insert key after that

change and press ctrl c

then :wq to save and quit
