[Bug 301515] Re: gscan2pdf does not start on Ubuntu 9.04

[Mike Waters]

It looks like gscan2pdf is relying on a session file in the /tmp directory, which is being purged for some reason (cron, or startup; I am not sure of how ubuntu handles /tmp).
The link to that nonexistant session file (inside 'ConfigPath') is part of gscan2pdf's per-user settings file, in the logged-on user's home directory: ~/.gscan2pdf

So, simply deleting this file will allow the app to start, albeit with
the default configuration (minus anything that was saved in that
settings file).

In my office I've just placed a perl script on the desktop of all scan PCs:
#!/usr/bin/perl

exec("rm ~/.gscan2pdf");

This is obviously a temporary solution, and not even a very good one ;)

So, good luck.
