I've been using Simple Scan on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS for a couple years now, but today I'm not able to launch it anymore. It opens it window and immediately crashes. When I try to use CLI instead I'm having this message:
bugchk_free(ptr=(nil))@modelinf.c(464)
Abandon (core dumped)
I've tried to used Xsane or scanimage instead, but I'm having the exact same issue. Skanlite seems to work though (but it is not able to recognize my scanner).
Here are my libsane packages (from
dpkg -l | grep sane
):
ii libsane-common 1.0.27-1~experimental3ubuntu2.2 all API library for scanners -- documentation and support files
ii libsane-hpaio:amd64 3.17.10+repack0-5 amd64 HP SANE backend for multi-function peripherals
ii libsane1:amd64 1.0.27-1~experimental3ubuntu2.2 amd64 API library for scanners
ii sane-utils 1.0.30-bionic1 amd64 API library for scanners -- utilities
I've tried to upgrade those from rolfbesnch/sane-release
PPA, but this doesn't seem to solve my issue. Should I try to use rolfbensch/sane-git
PPA instead?
Thanks,
