jpeps,

After having changed it with:
chown root:root cups
I then restart cups, and the old owner went back.
I don't know if having "nobody" in group is a problem

Bonjour, Merci pour toutes ces infos, je devrais pouvoir m'en sortir avec tout ça Lorsque je veux installer un programme depuis le source, à la main, j'utilise basiquement la séquence. ./configure ./make ./make install Est-ce correcte?

Merci pour la réponse rapide :) Pour la devx j'utilisais celle de la 4.12, et c'est bien dans ces conditions que j'ai obtenue les messages à la suite du ./configure sur le paquet en question. SInon en utilisant la recherche que tu indiques, je ne trouve pas de paquet déjà préparé pour la 2.6.4, c'es...

Bonsoir, Suite au problème dû à la modification faite pas MS sur ses serveurs msn, j'ai tenté de compiler la dernière version de pidgin corrigeant ce souci. A la première compilation, je me suis apperçu que ./configure pointait bcp delibrairies manquantes. J'ai donc tenté de les installer, voir pour...

Hi, There is something strange : Each time i reboot, i am getting files in /var/spool/cups, that i must delete, else, my future print job won't be done, because of the permission denied message. (One thing i do at each reboot is to force filechecking with the option in syslinux.cfg : pfix=fsck,copy....

Hi, After my new start with a fresh french 4.12, i have noticed that after the installation of cups 1.3.11, i get a problem of permission, discussed above. For the moment, the only thing that works is to first apply the commands you gave to me. rm -fr /var/spool/cups /etc/init.d/cups restart then i ...

Hi, I have restarted with a new puppy 4.12 (i am using a french version i am waiting for the french 4.3). Thank you a lot, patriot for all the time you spent with my problems, i will save my pupsave more carefully with the options you told me about. All my data are not losen, i could save most of al...

Hi, You are right, my pupsave is corrupted. I dont know how i did it, but, even fsck can't read my pupsave. In fact i have a problem with many files of my usb flash. I was regularly using a dd command to backup my flash disk (in fat32) to a backupfile.dd on another partition in ext3 format, because ...

Hi, I have followed the step by step, but i get the same error message concerning the permission. I can see that i still have an old cups directory named cups-old. Can it interact with the active one? A solution could be to delete manually all my last cups installation and peharps restarting with a ...

Hi, In fact this is the new cupsd.conf that came with the last install (1.3.11), which is in /etc/cups/ .So i just edited it but never i overwrited it. I tried to cancel the job via the manager or manually, then restart cups the error message "Permission denied" does not appear. But if i l...

Hi, Finally i removed the 1.3.3 and went on your thread to get the 1.3.11 pet and i launched it. I then rebooted the pc. I went into the cups manager to add my printer and i tried a test page. I get the permission denied message you will see in the log error file. Here are the permissions on the /va...

HI, i am re-opening this issue, because i have got an error message when i am submitting a job. I get the error lines in the log in 'info' mode. I started with a new install of CUPS, using the pet in manager (1.33), which gave me a new cupsd.conf). I just had a look to the /var/spool/cups directory ...

Thank you a lot mike

Hi, I am using a puppy on usb, 412, and the seamonkey 2.0 with the flash player 10. This player brings up a popup that allows to set some parameters, like the cache size. My problem is that this little popup, never let me modify anything inside itself, because my mouse does not seem to interact with...

Thank you Patriot for your so detailed response. So i have upgraded my cups to 1.3.11, and after rebooting i launched a new job. In the new screen of cups, i could see that message : "Unable to open file "/var/spool/cups/d00012-001" - Permission denied" my document is not printed...
