Re: control box : start cupsd on boot

Applications/System Tools/SliTaz Panel http://tazpanel:82 ,is the control box

replacement in SliTaz 4.

Most software in Slitaz that uses a daemon server like cups is not configured to auto-start on boot when it's installed.

Post install cupsd is started,but on reboot it's not. This is why it works if you re-install but fails on reboot.

/etc/init.d/cupsd start

or to autostart cupsd on boot

Add cupsd to /etc/rcS.conf to RUN_DAEMONS=

Re: control box : start cupsd on boot

sorry about the not too clear way of putting the request forward.

I had this problem some months ago with slitaz-3 and the disappearing of the printer after being set-up and Trixar was kind enough to point out that I have to add cupsd before slim in the initialization section of the control box.

now I am having the same problem with slitaz-4.

I followed your advice and arrived at tazpanel, but don't know how to proceed to add cupsd in order to make it active on booting.

Re: control box : start cupsd on boot

Tazpanel doesn't have initialization configuration.

Open terminal, su , password: root

leafpad /etc/rcS.conf

RUN_DAEMONS="dbus hald slim firewall httpd cupsd"

File/Save

File/Quit

Mojo,

did what you suggested, but still have no printer.

so tried system tools > hardware detection and driver > printer to re-install.

but terminal stops at prompt "cannot start cups at daemon, cups had already been running".

re-installation was not successful.

reboot and re-try the above steps, still same results.

Re: control box : start cupsd on boot

Open terminal as root:

pkill cupsd

pgrep cupsd

No number returned means cupsd is not running.

Check that there is no /var/run/cups/cups.sock

If cups.sock is there delete it.

/etc/init.d/cupsd start

Should start cupsd OK

pgrep cupsd

Returns a number to verify it's running.

Click on this address for cups web interface: http://localhost:631/

Login and configure your printer

Re: control box : start cupsd on boot

Start smbd and nmbd on boot:

Add samba to RUN_DAEMONS= 

Not sure what wirelles is.

If you mean wireless.

/etc/network.conf

# Set default interface.

INTERFACE="wlan0"

# Wifi connection.

# Enable/disable wireless connection at boot time.

WIFI="yes"

Re: control box : start cupsd on boot

Mojo,

sorry for the delayed reply, for some reason, my area cannot login slitaz forum for the whole of yesterday.

I tried your way until I came to reconfigure the printer, don't know how to, so I deleted the printer and re-installed again.

now it works, and thanks very much for your help.
