manual typo + configuration problem

Post by Minetti »

On bottom of page 22 of the manual, examples of configuration files, it says "Select the one you need (such as printer_output)". I guess it should be output_printer.
Speaking of this, I have first tried to change config files and could not do it. With Bitvise, from within root/config/, when I type "nano output_printer" I get the message "Error writing lock file ./.output_printer.swp: no space left on device"
The content of the file is shown, and it was the default value "Yes". When I change it to "Raw" and save the file, it says "save the buffer content" I say yes, and it exits. Opening again "output_printer" shows an empty file with a message "Error reading lock file ./.output_printer.swp: Not enough data read".
As a newbie in this filed, I may be missing something really obvious, but I'm stuck. Any help wuld be greately appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the feedback on the manual - I have corrected this typo for the next version of the manual.

Not being able to edit the config files is puzzling indeed - we are talking via email to get to the bottom of this, as it sounds as though the SD card is corrupt?

We have found the problem that can cause the device to fill.

It is to do with the hplip printer drivers.
You MUST run the command

Code: Select all

snap remove hplip-printer-app
logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog
logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/cups-daemon
We will uload a new v3.15 shortly
