(BTW: After upgrading hp-toolbox wasn't able to connect to the printer. Maybe some pre/post handling could make the printer usable after updates of hplip?

Now I did # mv /.hplip /.hplip.install.orig and installed HPLIP version 2.7.10 # rpm -Uhv hplip-hpijs-2.7.10-19.2.i586.rpm hplip-2.7.10-19.2.i586.rpm # ls -ld /.hplip /.hplip/hplip.conf ls: cannot access /.hplip: No such file or directory ls: cannot access /.hplip/hplip.conf: No such file or directory # rchplip restart Stopping hpssd: [ OK ] Starting hpssd: [ OK ] # ls -ld /.hplip /.hplip/hplip.conf ls: cannot access /.hplip: No such file or directory ls: cannot access /.hplip/hplip.conf: No such file or directory Perhaps it happens only with the original version 2.7.7 in openSUSE 10.3? # rpm -e --nodeps hplip-hpijs hplip # rpm -Uhv hplip-hpijs.rpm hplip.rpm # ls -ld /.hplip /.hplip/hplip.conf ls: cannot access /.hplip: No such file or directory ls: cannot access /.hplip/hplip.conf: No such file or directory # rchplip status hpssd is stopped # rchplip start Starting hpssd: [ OK ] # ls -ld /.hplip /.hplip/hplip.conf ls: cannot access /.hplip: No such file or directory ls: cannot access /.hplip/hplip.conf: No such file or directory -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I still have 2.7.10 installed, stopped it, removed /.hplip and restarted hplip and no /.hplip directory has been created. The I stopped hplip and rebooted and after reboot the file is again there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Therefore I thought it starts too early in the init process so that I added to /etc/init.d/hplip the line # Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $syslog smtp and did an "insserv hplip" so that it is now very late in the init process (in particular the "smtp" makes it very late): /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S12hplip /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S12hplip but this doesn't help. init 1 init 3 still results the files while in the running system rchplip stop rchplip start doesn't result the files. I have no idea what the reason might be. Currently I have too many bug reports so that I like to close this one as WONTFIX (the empty file doesn't cause any damage). Wolfgang, feel free to reopen it if you have an idea what the reason is. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Is there no home directory if init starts it? If yes, it seems to be clear why ~/.hplip/ gets created as /.hplip/ -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I like to set $HOME to something like /dev/null but I would need a /dev/null/ directory. Perhaps it is sufficient to set $HOME to /tmp/ (one more empty file in /tmp/ should not matter)? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
