And this is also a good news.
Did you start the server as root?
Okay, w short explanation of this message:
the server opens two named pipes in /tmp. Then it waits until a client (like
Xsane) connects to these pipes. But there is also a planned feature for
deferred turning off of the scanner lamp. For this the server must not block
until the client connects but periocally unblock and test if it's time to
switch the lamp off. Actually this is not done but a message is written.
So if you see this message, you know that the server is still alive.
> Then i ran xsane and it said "no devices available"
It seems that your the sane libaries are not installed in the correct path?
Check where the other sane libs are and install them there.
Bye
Andre
