units: cannot open file '/root/.units': Permission denied about sane-scan-pdf HOT 2 CLOSED

Well, after posting this I found #16, which eventually solved it - I had to update the script that calls scan,

from

#!/bin/sh
now=`date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H%M"`
/home/username/sane-scan-pdf/scan -d -r 300 -v -m Lineart --skip-empty-pages -o /home/username/scans/scan-$now.pdf

to

#!/bin/sh
now=`date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H%M"`
/home/username/sane-scan-pdf/scan --device "" --no-default-size -d -r 300 -v -m Lineart --skip-empty-pages -o /home/username/scans/scan-$now.pdf

--device "" fixed the scanadf: open of device fujitsu failed: Invalid argument error,
--no-default-size fixed the units: cannot open file '/root/.units': Permission denied error.

And then it scanned, albeit 15 seconds or so after pressing the button.

/edit: Your comment in #39 (comment) about calling scanadf without the -d parameter fixed it for me too, I changed the --device "" parameter to --device "epjitsu" which also fixed the delay.

Anyway, I'll close this.

Glad you got it all working and thanks for updating the issue with your solution and issue references! Cheers.
