[Bug 1771525] [NEW] Scanner not detected if plugged once Kubuntu 18.04 is running

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

In Kubuntu 16.04 the scanners were detected by Xsane or other scan
programs as soon as it were plugged in. Also, if you unplugged it then
plugged in again also Xsane detected it immediately.

But in Kubuntu 18.04 the scanner is not detected by Xsane if you plug in
once Kubuntu 18.04 already running. Only it's detected if you starts
session with the scanner already plugged in. And if you unplugg it then
plug it again it is not detected anymore and you must restart the
computer with the cable plugged into the USB, to be detected.

It happens the same thing with other scan programs like Skanlite or
Simple Scan.
