[sane-devel] Possible Solution Canon Lide 20 noise-problem

[Georg Marshall]

Hi!
If still current:

In order to solve the problem with the noise in Canon Lide 20 on Linux (I'm using Debian):

Uninstall sane, xsane and libsane in Synaptic (package manager). 
Install libsane version 1.0.15-9 instead of the current default 1.0.18 version (you can find it here: http://packages.debian.org/stable/libs/libsane). 
Then install sane again. Synaptic, as I understand, can only install sane version 1.0.14-1 after this because of the dependencies with the older libsane version. That sane version seems to work! (in contrast to sane version 1.0.18.)
Install xsane again in Synaptic and that's it. 
Don't forget to block the installed libsane 1.0.15-9 version and the sane 1.0.14-1 version in the "package" menu, otherwise it will be replaced by an update with time.

Happy new year to all!

PS: The new Debian test version ("Etch") is just cool!
