duplicated directories

[Bradlo]

Hello,
I've been trying to run a scanner with Mageia

Once I have come to check if the system detects the scanner,
Terminal capture:

Code: Select all

[crez @ localhost ~] $ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 04a5: 20b0 Acer Peripherals Inc. (now BenQ Corp.) S2W 3300U / 4300U
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 03f0: 0604 HP, Inc DeskJet 840c
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0458: 003a KYE Systems Corp. (Mouse Systems) NetScroll + Mini Traveler / Genius NetScroll 120
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Code: Select all

[crez @ localhost ~] $ scanimage -L
device `v4l: / dev / video0 'is a Noname Kworld Plus TV Analog Lite PCI virtual device
device `snapscan: libusb: 004: 002 'is a Acer FlatbedScanner22 flatbed scanner
[crez @ localhost ~] $

I find that the directory:
usr / share / sane / firmware
It has been self-replicated at least 20 times.

What happen? How can I delete those directories that are projected so many times?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there, some more information would be appreciated. What Mageia version do you use?
Also, how did you check that /usr/share/sane/firmware directory content has been self-replicated at least 20 times, mind to post the output how this looks ?

From the scanimage output your scanner looks to have been detected correctly, although in first position it does check your TV card it seems.
Have a look at e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SANE#Slow_startup on how to disable the v4l module for sane.
