How would I go about getting information on why it segfaulted? Created attachment 181774 [details]
Crash log
I was able to get this when I clicked on "Aquire Preview" instead of scan. Maybe it can be of use.
XSane segfaults in Ubuntu 8.10 32Bit in VBox. I'm not sure what that would mean though. The first thing you should try (if you did not already) is using another frontend to check whether this is actually xsane related or a backend problem.

So it's obviously the backend, I'll try downgrading. I downgraded to sane-backends-1.0.17, and I was able to scan without segfaulting. I'm going to try sane-backends-1.0.18-r6. I wish I could edit these comments. (In reply to comment #6) > I downgraded to sane-backends-1.0.17, and I was able to scan without > segfaulting.

You can append one and tell me what happened with .18-r6 :-) It would scan then it would start receiving RGB data, then it would crash. I'm not sure if it's a segfault. Assuming you are using the "avision" backend, you can also try what's described here: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2009-March/024188.html Yet another interesting piece of information: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2009-March/024311.html (avision backend is considered broken though the sane-project "supported hardware"-page tells the opposite.) I'll give that a try. (In reply to comment #11) > I'll give that a try. > Any news? Didn't make any difference. One of those options made the preview look weird. |
