Missing filter with ubuntu server edition

Open LAfricain opened this issue 4 years ago • 19 comments

Hello, For a ricoh SP 211 on an Ubuntu server edition, the driver from this ppa is not working due to a missing filter. It's working perfectly on an desktop edition. I need your help because I have no idea which cups package is missing on the server edition. This is the /var/log/cups/error_log file:

this is a GDI printer. It requires a driver from manufacturer. It does not understand ANY standard format. you may try this: https://github.com/abhisekp/ricoh-sp100/tree/b9bcdb1ce45d982a89a5f672199ef7f305214ec0

Yes I know, my ppa provide this driver. But something is missing in the server edition, I would like to know which filter. It's working well on the desktop edition, probably the desktop install more package then the server. But I have no idea which one.

The problem is here:

D [16/Mar/2021:10:40:55 +0000] [Job 9] execv failed: Exec format error
D [16/Mar/2021:10:40:55 +0000] [Job 9] PID 49078 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertolilo) stopped with status 108 (Exec format error)
D [16/Mar/2021:10:40:55 +0000] [Job 9] Hint: Try setting the LogLevel to "debug" to find out more.

It seems to be inside your rastertolilo filter. Perhaps you need to try running this filter manually from the command line, on both Desktop and Server editions.

Is there perhaps a mismatch of platforms? For example running amd64 code on an i386 system?

tillkamppeter avatar Apr 20 '21 15:04 tillkamppeter

I don't think about a mismatching platform, on the same raspberry pi it's working with the desktop version, but not with the server version.

LAfricain avatar Apr 20 '21 15:04 LAfricain

@LAfricain could you run your rastertolilo filter from the command line? Could you also run

file rastertolilo

tillkamppeter avatar Apr 20 '21 15:04 tillkamppeter

Is perhaps your Desktop installation arm64 and your Server installation armhf (or vice versa)?

tillkamppeter avatar Apr 20 '21 15:04 tillkamppeter

The filter executable rastertolilo in your deb package is i386, although it is packed into a amd64 package. Are you seriously running this on an arm platform?

jschwender avatar Apr 20 '21 17:04 jschwender

I have no idea about platform, I help a French user on the ubuntu french forum, the only thing I can say it's working with the desktop and not with the server edition. It's not a question about platform. For this reason I opened this issue. Sorry for the lack of help.

LAfricain avatar Apr 21 '21 09:04 LAfricain

Are you running the server edition and desktop edition both on a raspberry pi ?? Your ppa results in a package that installs an "all" architectures, but that does not mean that it will run on all architectures. The error message looks like a architecture / platform issue. Your binaries will only work on either i386 or on a amd64, nothing else.

jschwender avatar Apr 21 '21 18:04 jschwender

Yes the problem is on the same computer, and is only with the server edition. The guy tested on two computers, with both server and desktop editions.

LAfricain avatar Apr 21 '21 18:04 LAfricain

please paste the output of uname -a from both computers, and maybe also lshw -c cpu

Hi @jschwender @tillkamppeter @LAfricain

This topic is a bit old but the problem is still present. So I allow myself to revive the topic. Thank you for your help

inifaress avatar Feb 01 '22 11:02 inifaress

@inifaress the desktop is amd64, therefore the driver executable works on it, the server is ARM and therefore the driver executable does not work on it.

The problem here is that the manufacturer provides a binary-only (closed-source) driver executable for the i386 platform. Such binaries can only get executed on i386 and amd64 platforms, not on completely different processor platforms like ARM.

A solution here could be an emulator, a software running on processor platform X and emulating processor platform Y. There are many free emulators around, like emulating a Commodore Amiga on amd64 or ARM platforms. Perhaps we are lucky that there is an i386 emulator which can be run on an ARM, would be slow if this exists, but for printing it would be good enough.

hi @tillkamppeter im on the same situation of @inifaress do you any idea of emulator that i can use on my raspbery pi to print thank you in advance
