I installed Roger-router on my Linux Mint Debian Edition 64Bit. I had it running before on the same system on a different HDD. Now if I try to send a fax with printing it to the roger-router-printer, I get this error message:

Angehalten - Cannot set file owner for /var/spool/roger/userName: Operation not permitted

Angehalten is german for 'stopped'. userName is my username.

I searched the internet for many hours now, but couldn't manage to get it running. Does anyone of you has any idea what could be the problem here?

I would appreciate it a lot! Thanks.

    Which user account are you using, and is it member of the fax group? Which version of Roger-router and where did you get it? – harrymc Nov 12 '16 at 15:11
  • @harrymc I am using 'userName' like in the error message. It is member of the fax group. I use the version 1.8.9-2jessie1. I think I installed it from the normal packet sources. – superuserNewbie Nov 13 '16 at 15:09
  • I think this is a [known bug](http://osdir.com/ml/general/2015-09/msg13073.html) in version 1.8.9-2, but check your file permissions. I think [version 1.9.2](https://www.tabos.org/) is now out, but I unfortunately don't read German. – harrymc Nov 13 '16 at 17:54

I think this is a known bug in version 1.8.9-2. See the bug report
Bug#798471: roger-router: "Cannot set file owner for /var/spool/roger/" when using fax printer.

Check if any file permissions are insufficient, in case this is just an installation issue.

I believe that Roger Router version 1.9.2 is now out, but the website is in German which I don't read.
