ZusammenfassungSELinux is preventing python (hplip_t) "read" var_lib_t. Detaillierte BeschreibungSELinux denied access requested by python. It is not expected that this access is required by python and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Zugriff erlaubenYou can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report against this package.

Could you try to run

# restorecon -Rv /var/lib/

Comment 2 Christian Groove 2009-09-14 20:34:39 UTC
Salut,

i ran that script and it told me one:

restorecon -Rv /var/lib/
restorecon reset /var/lib/hp context system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0->system_u:object_r:hplip_var_lib_t:s0
restorecon reset /var/lib/hp/hplip.state context system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0->system_u:object_r:hplip_var_lib_t:s0
restorecon reset /var/lib/misc/prelink.force context system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0->system_u:object_r:prelink_var_lib_t:s0

Comment 3 Christian Groove 2009-09-14 20:51:39 UTC
Salut,

the problem with selinux disappeard.

I configured my hp1020 and ... failed.
CUPS still forgets to download the 
hp-bios to the printer.

My previous ubuntu used to initialize
the printer via rc-scripts during start
of the printer-subsystem.

Ahem, my /var/log/messages tells me:

Sep 14 22:44:27 suggs HP-LaserJet-1020: io/hpmud/musb.c 777: invalid device_status: Connection timed out
Sep 14 22:44:27 suggs HP-LaserJet-1020: prnt/hpijs/hpcups.cpp 387: ERROR: unable to set device = HP LaserJet 1018, err = 48
Sep 14 22:44:27 suggs HP-LaserJet-1020: prnt/hpijs/hpcups.cpp 681: hpcups: returning status 1 from main

This HW configuration runs perfectly with ununtu.
Is this a kernel bug or what ?

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2009-10-15 18:28:08 UTC
please don't set the release_note and common bugs flags for your personal issues without some kind of confirmation there's a general issue here sufficiently serious to merit inclusion in release notes or common bugs pages. The report does not seem to be at that point.

cleaning up the report...

this looks like this Ubuntu bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/347839

we don't have a hal-cups-utils package late enough to include the fix mentioned there, I believe. not sure about whether the s-c-p fix is in F11's s-c-p. assigning to hal-cups-utils.

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2010-04-28 10:19:51 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 6 Bug Zapper 2010-06-28 14:37:39 UTC
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
