I have a Samsung scanner which hasn't been working since I installed 17.10.

# sane-find-scanner
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04e8 [Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.], product=0x3430 [SCX-5635 Series]) at libusb:001:002

Each time I try to use simple-scan on 17.10, I get a crash.

$ simple-scan 
Not a JPEG file: starts with 0xff 0xff

Same error (crash) with gscan2pdf

$ gscan2pdf 
/usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/apps/mate-panel.rc:30: error: invalid string constant "murrine-scrollbar", expected valid string constant
Not a JPEG file: starts with 0xff 0xff

and same error with xscanimage

$ xscanimage 
/usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/apps/mate-panel.rc:30: error: invalid string constant "murrine-scrollbar", expected valid string constant
Not a JPEG file: starts with 0xff 0xff

I think sane doesn't use the right driver

# scanimage -L
device `xerox_mfp:libusb:001:002' is a Samsung Samsung SCX-5635 Series multi-function peripheral

I have installed the driver from the Samsung website. New file /etc/sane.d/smfp-samsung.conf but seemingly the xerox driver is still being used.

In the xerox_mfp.conf there is well reference of the Samsung

So what's the problem? Bug in the xerox driver? Incorrect config?

  • `Not a JPEG file: starts with 0xff 0xff` should appear while trying to open a png file wrongly suffixed as jpg with some specific applications like "Eye of GNOME" (aka Image Viewer). – pomsky Oct 15 '17 at 11:52
  • How long ago did you install 17.10 (did you start from beta2?) – Charles Green Oct 15 '17 at 13:29
  • it is the image from 10 days ago and I have applied all updates – Vincent Oct 15 '17 at 19:30

    I'm getting the same error with geany on a 17.10 upgrade from 17.04. ` geany x.txt /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/apps/mate-panel.rc:30: error: invalid string constant "murrine-scrollbar", expected valid string constant Segmentation fault (core dumped)` – rickfoosusa Oct 20 '17 at 20:16

Not connected with the scanner, but I found this question through searching on the "murrine-scrollbar" error.

/usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/apps/mate-panel.rc:30: error: invalid string constant "murrine-scrollbar", expected valid string constant

This seems to trigger when opening any gui program from the terminal.

As reported in this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1724078/comments/4 , edit the mentioned file at line 30, replacing murrine-scrollbar with scrollbar.

Samsung "is" Xerox for some devices. Do check if you are not affected by either: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1728012 or https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1707352 and don't forget to let people know that you are affected too.
