qeldroma Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 I can't access "do administration tasks" via root nor other users. I tried this by now on three machines, working with LM9. The configuration is set up to allow access?! Am i the only one, having this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 works for me with root password only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counterspy Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 Same for me. It wants name and password for root only. Counterspy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted October 14, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 He doesn't ask me for user nor for passwort. Just a "http-Access forbidden"-page... Fascinating, that this is on three installations The first on my machine, the second after a hd-failure :x and a friends machine What could be the difference between the installations?? Perhaps a similar prob: Adding "qtcups --stdin" to nonkde-apps ends up in a direct print, not the qtcups-window. On 8.2 i got the window before he printed.

Guest fhj52 Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 I gotta ask: is the loopback up and running? The loopback interface(usually 127.0.0.1) must be up for CUPS admin or webmin to work via http. You can ifconfig at a CL prompt to find out...

qeldroma Posted October 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Loopback is up. But another strange thing appears: When i am changing the driver for my printer in printerdrake, he accepts it, but uses always the same driver, not changing anything. Of cource i tried to restart CUPS, didn't help out. Can my installation-cds be buggy? I got the FIRST LM9 official-isos. Are the current perhaps a little bit revisonated??

qeldroma Posted October 21, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 I found out, that the permissions hang together in a way with devfsd. I started it and xinetd and it works now. But because i clicked around so much, i am not able any more to add or modify printers :shock: Even reinstalling cups didn'T help out. Seems like i have to reinstall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted October 23, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 Well, problem again, services are up, loopback too, printer away!!!!!!!! !!!I begin to HATE CUPS !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counterspy Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 Probably one of the 136 bugs to be sorted out. I end up with a partially crippled gkrellm from either Mandrake or Texstar. I can't configure it at all and some themes crash it. Counterspy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted October 28, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2002 One last thing, i found out is, that you have to enable the "cups-www-admin-tool" for other machines. At the end of the "cupsd.conf"-file, you have to add every machine or subnet, where browsing via http should be allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
