I recalled getting some help here from users who use Linux and Windows.
I am using Ubuntu Mate.
I am using a Canon TS9120 scanner/printer.
Also installed the official drivers.
The scanner program scans ok, but has no way to change the resolution.
When I try to install Scangear, it says
To install software, you must be logged in to an admin account. It says to remove the cd and log as an admin.
Is there a workaround?
Thanks.
Have you logged in as admin first ?
In the visual studio 2019 exactly the same situation when you install help files as a simple user, running from admin does not help. Apparently another verification method is used, an algorithm that looks for administrators and then checks, is there a user activity at the moment or not :biggrin: I had to install help files completely from admin :sad:
Windows or Linux ?
With a working TWAIN drivers / system ?

With Linux, you have to give a password to login as an "admin". And for any system changes or the like, you have to supply your password each time.
Once you do that, you can do anything including erasing your entire drive.

Andy,
I forgot you were running Linux.
No problem.
