xsane closes with warning

donkyhotay · 2009-11-22 20:33:26

Been having some problems with xsane. Whenever I try to launch it says it's detecting my scanner, then it just quits. Launching from CLI gives
(xsane:3713): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated
Following the instructions listed on the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_Scanner_Support I have been able to successfully scan using scanimage from the CLI so I know my scanner works, has the correct permissions (I can scan without root) and all around works so I think the problem is just with xsane. The version of sane and xsane I have installed are direct from pacman. I have tried deleting my .sane folder with no change. If I try to launch xsane with the scanner off I get the message reporting "no devices available". I have even tried launching xsane as root with no difference except a message telling me I shouldn't run it as root. Any ideas on whats causing this and how I should resolve it?

Anyone?

If you experience any problems after installing xsane
it may help to remove the setup and preferences files
of xsane:
rm -rf ~/.sane/xsane"

As I mentioned in my previous post I have even tried removing the .sane folder (yes, the one located in my home folder) entirely to make certain I got everything. Besides prompting me to accept the GPL again there is no difference. Any other ideas?

Hm... got to learn to read carefully...
Anyways on my system some gtk applications (like nvidia-settings or gmrun for example) crashed when having gtk settings set to gtk-qt-engine. Try moving your .gtkrc, .gtkrc-2.0, .gtkrc-mine (all gtk related files) to a temporal backup folder and try running the xsane application without those files.

I tried following your sugguestion but it turns out I actually don't have any files/folders related to gtk in my home folder (and none of the ones you mentioned). I'm running a pretty vanilla version of gnome on my system. Think maybe I'm missing something?

Are you running the vanilla gnome theme? If not try changing to the default one (it tends to work for everything most often)
If not...
I don't know.

EDIT:
You might add a new user temporally and try running xsane from there to see if it's really a gtk them problem or not.

I meant vanilla as in plain/default, not vanilla as in the gnome theme. I'm actually using clearlooksfor the gnome theme. I have tried logging in under a second user account with no change.

Sorry then, I have no idea how to help you.
