SUMMARY



STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open skanlite without a scanner.

OBSERVED RESULT
Camera device has been selected(/dev/video0).
Camera name: "Noname Integrated Camera: Integrated C"

EXPECTED RESULT
Well I likely need to fix up my user permissions(groups) or udev rules to allow my user to access the scanner device.
(I get why it got detected, since scanners can too register into /dev/videoX)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version:

To prevent the camera from showing up, disable the v4l backend in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf (comment it out with a # in front)

I don't know why it is enabled by default, but that is just how it is...

Hope this helps.
