Hi, everytime that I'm trying to add my hp laserjet p1505 with hp-setup, I can see my printer, I see the message that hp-setup was able to install the plugin, but after that, it crash with this error :

error:  The printer you are trying to setup requires a binary driver plug-in and it failed to install.  Please check your internet connection and try again.  Visit  http://hplipopensource.com  for more infomation. 

I don't have the problem with this version : 3.12.2-r2

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # emerge -av hplip
2. # dispatch-conf
3.# hp-setup

Comment 1 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-05-02 12:52:30 UTC
I would say you have tmpfs on your /tmp partition and possibly with noexec on the same, which make this thing fail.
Comment 2 Sylvain Alain (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-05-02 14:06:22 UTC
Nope, it's not the case.

I have only a /boot and my / on separate partition.
Comment 3 Sylvain Alain (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-05-02 15:51:28 UTC
(In reply to comment #2)
> Nope, it's not the case.

I have only a /boot and my / on separate partition.

I don't use any tmpfs on that box.
Comment 4 Daniel Pielmeier gentoo-dev 2012-05-02 18:49:37 UTC
First I do not own a printer requiring a plug-in so I can not test anything here. Also the plug-in is not part of hplip and thus not officially supported, but maybe we can find the problem. Can you please attach the output of hp-check.

Can you try to install the plug-in manually without hp-setup by downloading it from http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/ and check if the manual installation succeeds.
Comment 5 Sylvain Alain (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-05-02 19:27:37 UTC
I tested the manual installation and it's not working.

Same error.

I'm gonna post the hp-check soon.

Thanks :P

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies are installed to       
successfully compile HPLIP.                                                                                                                                                              
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper dependencies   
installed to successfully run.                                                                                                                                                           
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

Comment 7 Daniel Pielmeier gentoo-dev 2012-05-05 15:54:54 UTC
+  05 May 2012; Daniel Pielmeier <billie@gentoo.org> hplip-3.12.4.ebuild:
+  Drop cupsddk patch. It should not matter anymore as cupsddk has been dropped
+  from the tree. This should also fix part of bug #414195 where hp-check fails.
+  Add an elog message about users who must be in the lp group to print. This
+  fixes bug #414215.

It seems there was a patch which caused at least part of the problem with hp-check failing. I have removed this patch as it was about cupsddk which has been removed from the tree, so it shouldn't be needed anymore.

Please try again. At least hp-check should work now but maybe it fixes the plug-in issue as well.

I downloaded the plugin manually and it still say the same thing.

At least now hp-check runs perfectly :P
Comment 10 Daniel Pielmeier gentoo-dev 2012-05-06 18:10:01 UTC
Which messages or logs do you get by when running the plug in installer manually? You are not in the lp group what happens if you add yourself to that group?
Comment 11 Sylvain Alain (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-05-06 22:06:03 UTC
Hi, I tested with my sylvain account and also with the root account.

Same error about the plugin failed.

For the record, I have these groups :


sylvain@funtootux ~ $ groups
lp wheel floppy audio cdrom video usb users vboxusers kvm games plugdev sylvain
sylvain@funtootux ~ $ 


So, I'm already member of the lp group.

Is there any log during the installation process of hp-setup  that I could paste here ?
Comment 12 Sylvain Alain (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-05-06 22:10:03 UTC
For the record, I notice that hp-systray & is not working.

It says that I need to installation the plugin to be able to run that apps.
Comment 13 Daniel Pielmeier gentoo-dev 2012-05-07 19:26:23 UTC
I don't know if there are logs from hp-setup. I wanted the output from the manual plug-in install and not that from hp-setup. With manual install i did not mean running hp-plugin!!!

I did just download the plug-in and extracted the contents of the run file to the directory hplip-3.12.4-plugin with the following command:
./hplip-3.12.4-plugin.run --noexec --target hplip-3.12.4-plugin

In that directory I run:
./hplip-plugin-install --help
which tells me that there is a debug mode. Maybe you can get more information this way.

Also "find / ! -fstype proc ! -fstype sysfs -type f -mmin -2" for instance gives you the files which changed in the last two minutes. This way you can find if any logs were written.
Comment 14 Sylvain Alain (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-05-07 23:29:34 UTC
$ ./hplip-plugin-install -i -l debug

Gives me this error :

Done.

After that, I rerun 

$ hp-setup 

And I can print.

So, there's something wrong with the policykit use flag.

Because, now if I created the /var/lib/hp directory and then I run hp-setup, it's working without any manual intervention.
Comment 17 Daniel Pielmeier gentoo-dev 2012-05-08 21:11:33 UTC
It looks like the manual plug-in install does not write any logs.

/var/lib/hp is owned by hplip, so it should exist.

Now we have to find out how to fix this policykit error

I am absolutely sure this is a different bug or does it work if you compile hplip without the policykituse flag? If not please open a new bug and provide some information about your problem.
Comment 20 Daniel Pielmeier gentoo-dev 2012-05-12 15:44:32 UTC
I found this upstream bug [1] and it looks like this is probably a bug in polkit.

CC-ing polkit maintainers for help.

@freedesktop, nirbheek: Can you please take a look at this. According to hplip upstream this is an issue with polkit.
Comment 22 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-01 15:23:54 UTC
OK, I am having similar troubles with hplip both 3.12.4 and 3.12.6.

1) the /var.lib/hp dir is not installed by the ebuild.  It seems that recent versions no longer install the hplip.state file, so it is an empty directory and does not get installed.  running mkdir /var/lib/hp fixed that for me.  

This is covered in upstream bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1018303

Also it is mentioned with a fixed ebuild in our bug 352439 although his fix was  cat >> "${ED}/var/lib/hp/hplip.state" << _EOF_

Where I believe adding a "keepdir /var/lib/hp" is probably the correct way.  Also that bug is assigned to Diego

2) I have added users to the lp group which has fixed another issue.

3) I am having the same plugin installed failed issues in that it downloads and install, then install fails.  Running hp-setup in -g (debug mode) it produses more output which indicates:

hp-setup[23433]: debug:

That file or symlink is not there.

I'll try recompiling without the policykit use flag.
Comment 23 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-01 16:01:39 UTC
USE = -policykit did not fix it for me. Continuing with the -policykit install, trying the manual install, while it did not produce any errors, and still had the same problem. Looking at the unpacked plugin.  I found  32 and 64 bit versions of the missing file.

big_daddy hplip-3.12.6-plugin # cp hbpl1-x86_64.so /usr/share/hplip/prnt/plugins/
big_daddy hplip-3.12.6-plugin # ln -s /usr/share/hplip/prnt/plugins/hbpl1-x86_64.so /usr/share/hplip/prnt/plugins/hbpl1.so

then rerunning hp-setup worked, it detected everything installed and proceeded with the setup and test page print.

:)

So, that should be an upstream bug in the plugin, not installing that lib, shouldn't it?

Are you seeing polkit-related errors in /var/log/messages and/or ~/.xsession-errors? (grep them for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1)
Comment 26 Daniel Pielmeier gentoo-dev 2012-07-03 16:42:34 UTC
Here /var/lib/hp is owned by hplip. I did unmerge hplip, removed /var/lib/hp and installed hplip again. This is with portage-2.1.10.65 which seems to install the empty directory.

$ equery b /var/lib/hp
 * Searching for /var/lib/hp ... 
net-print/hplip-3.12.6 (/var/lib/hp)


@Sylvain Alain: Does the plugin install if /var/lib/hp exists or is hplip.state needed as well? In comment #16 you have created hplip.state with permissions 755 as well. 

@Brain Dolbec: I assume your bug (this one and upstream) is fixed now? Bug #352439 is assigned to Diego because I do not maintain the plugin package and he seems to be interested in the plugin package. Feel free to maintain it, but from my point of view it causes nothing but problems. There also seem to be license issues. I recommend everybody buying a hp printer to choose one which does not require the binary plugins.

@Alexandre Rostovtsev: I can not reproduce this issue as I do not own a printer which needs a binary plugin.

@All: Please answer comment #25.

@Daniel, about your question , I only need to run this command to have a plugin working  :

The hplip.state file is not required during my installation process.
Comment 29 Morten Svendsen 2012-07-17 14:59:23 UTC
It works if i set active python to python2.7

There is a python script in hplip-3.12.6-plugin.run/plugin_install.py that doesn't run with python 3+

After setting python to 2.7 the plugin installs fine and the printer prints.
Comment 30 Daniel Pielmeier gentoo-dev 2012-08-04 07:44:18 UTC
@Sylvain Alain: Does changing the active python version fix this for you?

And by the way hplip does not work with python 3.

I made some progress, I switched to python 2.7, but when I install the plugin, it require a ps.ppd.gz file and it's missing from the /usr/share/ppd/hp

I own a Hp LaserJet P1505.

Is there a way to bring back to life my printer with a valid ps.ppd.gz file ?
Comment 35 Sylvain Alain (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-11-08 05:28:51 UTC
Ok, I found my problem with the ppd file.

I didn't add the cupds service at default runlevel.

So now I can install the plugin and print.

Bottom line, if I set the policykit use flag on the hplip package, I cannot print.

I really need to disable policykit to be able to print something.

Normally all pps are installed with hplip, however some printers usually older ones need static ppds which are installed with the static-ppds use flag.

Why, if the printer is installed locally you should add it to the default runlevel according to the gentoo printing guide.

Maybe it is a good idea to close your initial bug at launchpad and open a new one for the policykit problem. This way it probably gets more attention. The old bug is drowned with useless information regarding the policykit issue.

I also suggest the same for this bug. Finding the needed information within 35 comments is difficult. Please also open a new gentoo bug and add your upstream bug under "See Also:". Also add all information you can give about your policykit problem. Alexandre Rostovtsev question from comment 25 is still unanswered.

I am closing this bug for now as the plugin isue is solved.
