[Bug 40795] Re: cannot create printers in live system
I am sorry that I must say, the only workaround would be to trash those buggy Ubuntu Dapper Desktop-CDs into the bin and use other live CDs instead!! The developers seems to don't care about provinding those informations. I never get some useful, technical information or reply as an respond to my bug reports. (I suppose that is because they are thinking about it's users that they are dump users) It's nice to hear they fixed the printing problem in edgy, but are they are going to provide a solution for dapper as well? Hey, come on man, Dapper is your LTS version you SHOULD provide fixes for known bugs (or at least information how the users can solve it by themselfes). But all you are doing is concentrate of the new upcomming release leaving the bugs of the LTS version. It's not acceptable. If you fixed the bug in edgy you know what was wrong in dapper, so at least write a small note here on lanchpad about how users can solve the problem by themselves! -- cannot create printers in live system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/40795 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Is there a workaround for Dapper Live CD? Surely I can go in and manually change some permissions or install some software onto the unionfs.

[Bug 40795] Re: cannot create printers in live system
Hello, I confirm that printing is not operational on Dapper Live-CD as far as I'm concerned. I understand that no new point release is planned, however I would appreciate some help to get it working with my current Live CDs. The reason for this is that I have a computer on which I have not installed the system through the normal way : I'm using a live-CD image on an external USB disk with persistent mode following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent. I am therefore stuck to the cups version shipped with the LiveCD. Is there any way to fix cups on this installation ?

[Bug 40795] Re: cannot create printers in live system
In the current state of Edgy, foomatic-db-engine is fixed, so that CUPS does not list any printer/driver combos any more for which no PPD file is available. So for an installed system, update foomatic-db-engine (and also foomatic-db, or better do a full sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade as many other printing bugs got fixed, too), then remove your non-working print queue(s) and re-create it/them. For further tests on a live CD, try to get the newest ISOs (I hope there are already ISOs with the stuff which got uploaded last week). -- cannot create printers in live system https://launchpad.net/bugs/40795 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 40795] Re: cannot create printers in live system
It's fine to hear the issue is worked on and is fixed in current state of Edgy already, however the initial bug report was filed for DAPPER and since DAPPER is A long term support release, I would like to get this fixed in DAPPER TOO! So it doesn't help very much saying it's fixed in Edgy, since some of us have good reasons not to change to Edgy but say with the LTS Dapper and want to see this issue will be fixed for the current stable version of Ubuntu (which is actually Dapper NOT Edgy) too.

If there are new upstream fixes, they usually get packaged and tested in the current development branch. Depending on the importance of the bugs they get backported to the released versions afterwards. -- cannot create printers in live system https://launchpad.net/bugs/40795 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 40795] Re: cannot create printers in live system
After setting a password for the ubuntu user, I can create a printer in the web interface (I just get the usual 'unauthorized' log messages, but they are bogus -- cupsd always seems to try unauthorized access first, and then requests credentials if that fails; it happens all the time without a visible negative impact). After the printer is created in the web interface, I can exercise ubuntu's lpadmin group powers with cupsenable/cupsdisable, can use gnome-cups-manager to print a test page, and so on. So only creating a printer fails in the live system, the log messages point to some problem while copying the PPD file. Till, do you have an idea about that? ** Summary changed: - cannot write /var/cache/cups/ppds.dat on live system + cannot create printers in live system -- cannot create printers in live system https://launchpad.net/bugs/40795 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This message foomatic: There is neither a custom PPD file nor the driver database entry contains sufficient data to build a PPD file. means that the user has chosen a printer/driver combo for which the GhostScript command line in the Foomatic driver XML file is empty and for which there is also no ready-made PPD file. To avoid such problems foomatic-db-engine needs to be updated to the version with my last fixes. I already made a freeze exception request (Martin, you should have been CCed on it). The fixed foomatic-db-engine makes CUPS not listing such printer/driver combos any more. -- cannot create printers in live system https://launchpad.net/bugs/40795 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
