THE PKGBUILD IS NOW CONSIDERED LIKE A VCS ONE, THIS MEAN IT WILL NOT BE BUMPED FOR EVERY VERSION, REPORT ONLY BUILD PROBLEMS NOT NEW VERSIONS!!

OCR is only available for the professional edition, OCR files should be splitted to a separate pkgbuild? Send your opinion at my email

source_i686=("$pkgname-x32-$(date +%F-%H-%M).tgz::http://www.hamrick.com/files/vuex3297.tgz") source_x86_64=("$pkgname-x64-$(date +%F-%H-%M).tgz::http://www.hamrick.com/files/vuex6497.tgz")

still using HTTP for x86/x86_64. Signature skipping is insecure.

New version available, v9.7.28. Running this PGKBUILD works, but need to skip checksum for it to install the new version.

It would be good to switch the download URL to HTTPS. HTTP combined with signature skipping looks insecure.

if it looks ugly and you don't see any borders of buttons, like mentioned here before: i.e. sudo nano /usr/bin/vuescan

#!/bin/sh
cd /opt/vuescan
GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Industrial/gtk-2.0/gtkrc /opt/vuescan/vuescan
exec ./vuescan "$@"

@FabioLolix: Updated to 9.5-2

FabioLolix commented on 2017-09-24 13:19 (UTC)

Do you mind using the standards source_x86_64=() source_i686=() md5sums_x86_64=() md5sums_i686=() ?

ninian commented on 2017-09-13 17:36 (UTC)

Here's how I handle the problem, with /usr/local/bin/vuescan (or ~/bin/vuescan) which specifies a simpler theme, eg Clearlooks: #!/bin/sh cd /opt/vuescan GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc exec ./vuescan "$@"

I am experiencing the problem I have heard of before in other distros - using theme Vertex-Maia I don't get most of the buttons on the control screen, but if I switch to something more basic like XFCE itself, they appear. Terminal shows a string of errors such as: ** (vuescan:25808): WARNING **: Pixbuf theme: Cannot load pixmap file /usr/share/themes/Vertex-Maia/gtk-2.0/Buttons/button-default.png: Failed to load image '/usr/share/themes/Vertex-Maia/gtk-2.0/Buttons/button-default.png': Fatal error in PNG image file: bad parameters to zlib (vuescan:25808): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_width: assertion 'GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed (vuescan:25808): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_height: assertion 'GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed Is there any possible remedy for this rather than switching themes when using Vuescan?

NB: Just build the package and you will always get the most recent version. It is updated too frequently to bother changing the package version every time.
