Bug 118958 – hplip doesn't get started

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 98428
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description François Valenduc 2006-01-14 00:54:28 UTC]

After an upgrade of baselayout, hplip doesn't get started anymore. In fact, I upgraded baselayout to test KDE 3.5 and I had to use a masked version. The hplip init script contains basically two commands:

     start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/hpiod
     start-stop-daemon --quiet --start --exec /usr/share/hplip/hpssd.py --pidfile /var/run/hpssd.pid >/dev/null 2>&1                

The first command is started but the second one doesn't work. However, if I run it manually, it works but as soon as I put it into an init scripts, it fails.

Does anybody know how to solve the problem ?
Thanks in advance.

you forgot to post `emerge info`

Does it work for you if you change the first line of /usr/share/hplip/hpssd.py from

#!/usr/bin/env python

to

#!/usr/bin/python

?

Please, don't resolve bugs as FIXED before they are fixed in portage. ;)

@printing: Please, fix Bug 98428 - it's getting kinda stale and the fix is trivial.
