Cups broken in nopae 5.4.91 Subject description: Cups broken in nopae 5.4.91 |
|
Did frugal install of Precise Puppy 5.4.91 nopae on Toshiba Satellite A205
with 2 GB of ram 2GB pupsave file using Grub4Dos that has started 50+ puppies over the years.
Most everything works with few error messages in the /tmp logs
Cups scheduler does not start: logged error is child exited with error 127
Trying to add a printer from menu==>system==>Cups Manager
browser opens with URL=localhost:631
===============================
Did a frugal install of Precise Puppy Alpha1 5.4.90 with 512MB pupsave
Nothing added. /tmp log files say cups scheduler started
browser opens with URL=localhost:631/admin
Was able to add my HP PhotoSmart 5200 printer
So only Cups broken in nopae version
==================================
both versions report that "logger invalid option --- "i" all 3 /tmp logs
===========================================
nopae Missing dependencies in nopae additional pets
Installed software in this order via PPM
Source:Ubuntu repositorie
mc_4.8.1 + mc_data_4.8.1 no missing dependencies
llk-linux_2.3 no missing dependencies
guvcview-1.5.3 missing libasound21.0.24.1 & libxcursor11.1.2
firefox_18.0.2 missing lsb_release_4.0 & python2.8
gnucash_2.4.10-1 missing guile-1.8 added from Ubuntu via PPM
also missing libmime-base64-perl & libnet-perl
& upstart-job
Via Browser and muga-linux forum for Additional Software
pwidgets-2.4.1
wbar-2.3.0
sys-info-1.5.1 by TaZoc
PupControl & Pupmates (PupApps, PupShutdown, PupClock)
wallpaper-0.6.2 (Nathan's wallpaper)
Via SFS Files
LibraOffice_3.4.4_Lucid
All seem to work great even with missing dependencies
==============================
about missing dependencies What I have found via Google search
libasound21.0.24.1 only mention is Barry's list of dosbox_0.74-2 depends
and now here in this message
libxcursor11.1.2 the highest version I found is libXcursor1.1.13
lsb-release-4.0 does not exist
Python2.8 Firefox says it needs it but seems to work without it.
guile-1.8 I loaded this using PPM from Ubuntu 12.04 repository
Gnucash would not start without it
libmime-base64-perl does not exist
libnet-perl does not exist
upstart-job does exist but I am not loading 60+ megabytes and the
complete gnome environment for this
I do not know where the PPM gets it's list of dependencies.
My guess is the libxcursor is a typo and should be libXcursor1.1.12
==================================
Great Puppy!!! Barry, you and your team have built a great OS hear
when the first Alpha release with minor (itsy bitsy tiny) bugs. Most
Alpha versions are ant's nests of bugs and often the final release is
still an ant's nest of bugs.
I look forward to the next releases of pae and nopae Precise Puppy.
My first puppy was Chubby Puppy 1.06
I switched from Ubuntu Hardy to Puppies as my main OS because
puppy booted in 15 seconds and Ubuntu in 3 minutes.
I marvel at how well all the puppies and derivatives just WORK!!
Download the iso. Open it in ROX and take out 3-4 files.
Point the GRUB menu.lst to start it and it works!!
Thank you all for the great OS.
-Bruce.

I checked this and CUPS started OK for me. Maybe it was a timing issue. Run
Code: | /etc/init.d/cups start |

I tried your suggestion
# /etc/init.d/cups start
cupsd: Child exited with status 127!
cups: unable to start scheduler.
#
The checksum on the iso matched the one provided.
I tested cups before loading any additional software.
I got the same results as above.
What would you like me to try next?
-Bruce.

# /etc/init.d/cups start
cupsd: Child exited with status 127!
cups: unable to start scheduler.
#
same result
I tried to add the PupSysInfo.txt file to this post but it was not accepted as it was a ".txt" file.

This is a mystery. I booted 5.4.91 nopae on two different machines and CUPS was running both times.

To upload your sys-info, try this
Code: | mv ....txt ...txt.gz | where "..." is the name of your sys-info file. Then your attaching for upload will work.

Hi Bruce,
PupSysInfo-2.2 automatically saves Summary and Complete reports in both compressed and uncompressed formats in the /tmp/root/ folder.
The forum should accept a PupSysInfo report in the compressed format (for example, PSI-SYS-SUMMARY-130219.gz).
Thanks

Playing with chrome browser. I tested the root disabling feature.
http://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel
/usr/local/petget/hacks-postinstall.sh
I did add this into it:
Code: | google-chrome-*)
if [ -f /usr/bin/bbe ];then #bbe is a sed-like utility for binary files.
if [ -f /opt/google/chrome/chrome ];then
bbe -e 's/geteuid/getppid/' /opt/google/chrome/chrome > /tmp/chrome-temp1
mv -f /tmp/chrome-temp1 opt/google/chrome/chrome
chmod 755 /opt/google/chrome/chrome
ln -s /opt/google/chrome/chrome /usr/bin/google-chrome
echo '[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Name=Google Chrome
GenericName=Web Browser
Comment=Access the Internet
Exec=/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/opt/google/chrome/product_logo_48.png
Categories=WebBrowser;' > /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop
fi
fi

And then I downloaded this one:
https://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_beta.html?dl=beta_i386_deb
Posting from it now. This kind hack might enable the root user restricted .deb browsers. Well...they also might broke Cups, have done that in the past...but this seems to help installing these browsers anyway...

Hi Barry, I report bugs, you chose to solve them or not.
- ghostscript works but /usr/local/lib/ghostscript/ is missing.
- It seems that foomatic doesn't work and perl neither.
- /etc/apm uneeded because acpi replaced apm

Thanks for the continued help rcrsn51 and gcmartin!!!
Sorry I was gone so long but loading a second computer and many many tests takes time.
Loaded Hannspring Netbook with copy of files from Toshiba.
renamed pupsave so booted with no savefile: Cups works
booted with savefile: Cups broken
booted with new blank savefile: Cups works
Went back to Toshiba
renamed pupsave so booted with no savefile: Cups works
booted with new blank savefile: Cups works
So the problem is not Precise Puppy nopae 5.4.91
it is in one of the software pets or sfs files I added.
Thank you for the help. It is now load a package and check unitl I find out which one breaks Cups. It will take some time but I will report back.
Thanks again.
-Bruce.

Which was it? Were you booting with a clean system or not?
