[SOLVED] hplip not asking for administrator privileges

I'm trying to setup My HP PSC but when is ready to setup , it does not ask for administrator privileges password so the setup fails .
i tough it was related to just my printing settings but when using Shaman it lets me select the software programs  that I want to install but the apply never gets turn green and if i use the icon to force the installation it fails, looks like it never tryes to ask for the admin password to proceed ???? any ideas?
SOLVED
gpasswd -a user adm,sys,lp

To boot, like it has always done;)
So, I miss somethings in my mkinitcpio.conf, I will investigate , but it strikes me a little bit since I never changed anything.
Ah, I remember having a upgrade for mkinitcpio.conf a few days or more back, will look into it.
Update: after falconindy's hint') added lvm2 and encrypt to the hooks.
After that I ran; grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg  &&  mkinitcpio -p linux
The system boots, but I have to add; cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:ar ro    in grub by hand!

  • [solved]Cryptdevice not asking for passwd, LVM not accessible

    So,after the latest kernel upgrade, Arch won't boot.
    What have I done so far;
    First I ran this commands;
    cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda ar ro
    modprobe dm-mod
    vgscan
    vgchange -ay
    Then I try to mount them, and chroot into my install.
    mkdir /mnt/arch
    mount /dev/ch/ro /mnt/arch
    mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/arch/boot
    mount /dev/ch/ho /mnt/arch/home
    mount /dev/ch/va /mnt/arch/var
    mount /dev/ch/tp /mnt/arch/tmp
    arch-chroot /mnt/arch
    This brings me into chroot, checking home dir, everything is oke, so far!
    I try updating with pacman -Syyu, but no updates.
    Reinstalled mkinitcpio and Linux,
    Ran mkinitcpio -p linux, unchroot,unmount and reboot didn't solve it.
    I was running grub legacy, installed Grub2 in chroot, but this leads me to the same problem.
    What should happen normaly,
    I boot and it should ask for the password to decrypt volume 'ch'.
    It doesn't and comes with an error not being able to find the root device on /dev/mapper.
    If it's not asking for the crypt-password in the first place, of course it won't be able to find the root-device;)
    Perhaps boot is going to fast and it just runs over decrypting the LVM.
    Maybe there is something wrong with my kernel line, but I don't see it,(
    /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/mapper/ch-ro ro cryptevice=/dev/sda2:ar ro
    My mkinitcpio.conf
    MODULES="i915"
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems usbinput fsck"
    If I need to provide more info...)
    Legenda: ar=cryptdevice   ch=LVM
    edit:typo & mkinitcpio.conf

  • Creative cloud is asking for administration privileges without explanation What should I do?

    Almost every day, a little window pops up on the right side of my Mac screen saying Creative cloud needs administration privileges without explaining anything else. It's annoying. Should I turn it off in preferences?, ignore?, or take some type of action?

  • Gsmartcontrol polkit problem: Not asking for password anymore [solved]

    polkit 0.112-2
    polkit-gnome 0.105-2
    gsmartcontrol 0.8.7-4
    DE: LXDE
    When trying to use gsmartcontrol as normal user it does not ask for permission anymore but starts and the drives are shown as 'unknown model' now.
    The polkit-gnome-authentication is autostarted at boot and works fine with gparted e.g.
    But with gsmartcontrol I get:
    polkitd[356]: Operator of unix-session:c1 FAILED to authenticate to gain authorization for action org.archlinux.pkexec.gparted for unix-process:1126:101937 [/bin/bash /usr/bin/gparted_polkit] (owned by unix-user:user)
    How can I get gsmartcontrol working again as normal user?
    SOLUTION:
    Use '/usr/bin/gsmartcontrol_polkit' instead of (de)fault '/usr/bin/gsmartcontrol' in your starter.

    Hello,
    I sometimes have the same problem, but there's a secure way to overcome this behaviour : when you have finished your purchases, simply go to "configuration" and "store" folder where you'll simply deactivate your account. It's the safest way, sure.
    When you wish to access appstore again, go to this folder back and activate. ID & Password will be required then to download.
    Hope this will help.
    Cheers.

  • Why does my G5 not ask for my pswd when mounting a .dmg when my iBook does?

    i have an app on a disk that i am trying to put on my iMac G5. it opens but does not ask for my password. when i click the installer it goes through a couple stages but then says "there is nothing to open". so, i take this disk and put it in my iBook, it opens and i get the prompt asking for my password, i type it in, click the installer and the app installs no problem. i've opened apps from a disk before on my iMac with no problems. i get the same error response if i use the diskmounter or disk utility. if anyone has any ideas i'd be almost next to eternally grateful.
    cheers.

    I got new Apple TV 10 days back,its not asking for the WIFI password.Home sharing is not working,i am getting Error while streaming videos from Youtube.
    I can only see pics and video saved in my iphone. No other options are working.The worst part is that its not asking wifi passoword.
    Not able to connect istores and itunes.
    I cannot do software update. Can anyone help in this content?

    Thanks Brian- I am not connecting it with iphone teethering. I am using it with my DSL wifi.

  • Itunes has sent a lot of my music into iCloud. I have not asked for this. I can't log on to icloud, since I only have an ipod. How do I get my music back? It seems to have disappeared from my computer.

    itunes has sent a lot of my music into iCloud. I have not asked for this. I can't log on to icloud, since I only have an ipod. How do I get my music back? It seems to have disappeared from my computer.

    I have read the the advice you gave, and I had already tried that. It did not help.
    When I tried to download an album with nine songs, (I have paid for the complete album), two songs were missing. One of them has showed up/disappeared a couple of times, but with a cloud/arrow-symbol next to it, what I thought to be a symbol for downloading from the cloud. When I click it, it starts a downloading process, and then I am told it cannot be done, "please try again later".  The other song is nowhere to be seen.  The song with the cloud/arrow-symbol, I bought 3 times, once with the album, twice just the song. That didn't change matters. iTunes tells me I have downoladed all songs I have purchased.
    I do not really understand why you do not understand what I am writing, I only describe what happens when I use iTunes.
    If a person want to use iCloud, one needs an iPhone, iPad or an iPod Touch. That information is not given until you have downloaded and installed the iCloud program. That is why I have it on my computer, but cannot use it. To set up an iClod account, you have to connect one of the above mentioned devices. I don't have one, so I cannot do it.
    If you want the (13013) problem explained, I suggest you google it. I am not the only one to have that problem.
    I am thankful that you spend time on trying to help me, but I cannot explain things clearer than this.

    If you read discussion boards, this is a significant change from a year ago, when Apple told people in the same situation to go f&$# themselves.  Clearly it's dawning on them that this is a stupid policy, and my guess is if people keep complaining they'll change it to something more reasonable.  Remember, it wasn't that long ago you couldn't re-download content at all.
    Apple can't really afford to play hardball on this. Sure, the hardcore fanboys will always say "Thank you sir, may I have another" whatever Apple throws at them,  but the rest of us will just switch to Amazon, which has none of these restrictions.

    The iPad is designed to be a single user device, and there is currently no way to password protect the Mail app - even removing the account password from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars will just prevent new mail being downloaded, it won't hide those that have already been downloaded. There is this work-around for the app : https://discussions.apple.com/message/13127632#13127632 . Also there might be third-party email apps that feature password protecting.

  • Firefox 12 installer asks for Administrator account

    I am trying to do a fresh install of Firefox 12 on my Windows Ultimate x64. When I try to run the installer, it asks for Administrator rights.
    Regardless of what I choose (use my current account, which is an administrator account OR type in the password for the main Administrator account), the installer does nothing. Just stops, without any errors, etc.
    1. Why does this version of Firefox need to use the main Administrator account? For the previous versions (and for any other browser) a regular administrator account is enough. What exactly is Firefox 12 doing to the system that requires more access rights?
    2. How (in case I decide to go through with this install) can I convince it to actually install?

    Hi,
    I did, if I select run as Administrator or if I tick the "run as administrator" in the properties, then it runs.
    But I still want to know *why* Firefox 12 wants administrator rights to install? No other browser requires that and even Firefox 11 installs ok without administrator rights.
