Hi, I just upgraded from 6.4 to 6.5. In 6.4 I had a scanner program "simple-scan". I can't seem to get it for 6.5. I tried the elrepo and forge repositories but they are not available there. I tried to rebuild it from source but that didn't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. FYI: My Fujitsu scanner is not TWAIN compliant but it works with "simple-scan". Thank you, Joe

It looks like Nux Desktop and LinuxTECH repos have it. Untested by me. In the case of the Nux Desktop x86_64 one (LinuxTECH only has i686)

Caveat: don't mix those two repos. Either one by itself works fine; mixed not so fine. I use both on a few machines, and both work well, individually. I had one machine with both; not a good idea.

I second this. Both repos are great but use just one of them on a given system. If you find some package(s) missing, try contacting the maintainer and see if that can be added. The maintainers (NuxRo and megatux/tux99) are active in the EL community.

Thank you everybody for your help. I have "simple-scan" installed and working. Happy New Year! Joe On 12/19/2013 07:48 AM, Scott Robbins wrote:
