I forgot to report my locale settings: ale$ locale LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_TIME="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_NAME="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_ALL= ale$ *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 82652 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20021216 Description of problem: When running "ptal-init setup" after installing the hpoj drivers, the script successfully manages to detect the printer (in my case an HP OfficeJet K60) but after setting everything up, "ptal-init setup" exited with an error message. WORKAROUND ---------- If I start the progam using the wollowing command instead, it works: $ LC_ALL=C ptal-init setup Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Start "ptam-init setup" with an HP OfficeJet K60 printer attached to the USB bus. Actual Results: Currently defined device names ([*]=default): *** The following devices are using an obsolete configuration *** file format. Use "/usr/sbin/ptal-init setup" *** to delete and re-probe them: --> "mlc:usb:OfficeJet_K60" A system-wide default device name is not currently defined. Press <Enter> alone to continue with no default, or enter a new default device name here ---> ----- here you are back at the shell prompt with an incorrect printer installation Expected Results: The printer should have been installed. Additional info: The installer has a problem reading the configuration file it created. I did this on a sunday, and "sunday" in swedish is "s�ndag" (note the special character). The current date is pasted into the generated config file which could be the cause of the problem. I did try to remove the (possibly) offending character but it still wouldn't accept the configuration. I only managed to get it to run after re-probing with LC_ALL set to C.
