[Touch-packages] [Bug 1904068] Re: apt(-get) source fails to use credentials from /etc/apt/auth.conf(.d)

[Gabriel Kaufmann]

Also affects me. But instead of "only" source-packages all updates fail
with Unauthorized 401. ESM is unusable in fact working like that! In my
case Ubuntu 16.04 is affected which still should work for ESM Updates
and there are about 300 updates proposed for me, but I'm not able to
download them.

Title:
  apt(-get) source fails to use credentials from /etc/apt/auth.conf(.d)

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have configured apt-src access to the private ESM PPAs via entries
  in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-security.list as follows:

  deb-src https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-esm/esm-infra-
  security/ubuntu trusty main

  and then added credentials as follows to /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/ubuntu-
  security.conf:

  machine private-ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-esm/esm-infra-security/ubuntu
  login alexmurray password 

  Running apt-get update then succeeds - but if I then try and run `apt-
  get source` to download from the PPA it fails:

[Touch-packages] [Bug 357732] Re: cups always prints with the default page size

[Gabriel Kaufmann]

Having kind of this issue on my Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) with Brother MFC
Laser-Printer. The printer worked fine on the same system for over 1
year and suddenly every(!) custom settings from GUI printing dialog was
ignored. I need papersize A4 but always got letter format.

The only workaround I found was to set A4 hard-coded in default PPA
file. But since today I can't switch dublex-printing or switch from
color-printing (default) to black and white!

Very annoying and I don't know what may have changed between once
working and stopped ignoring my custom printing settings for a new
printing-job.

In my case there already is '/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf'.

Reinstalling the packages 'cups-filters cups-filters-core-drivers'
didn't help.

Title:
  cups always prints with the default page size

  Invalid

  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After the upgrade to Jaunty some users experience that a part of the
  page is cut when printing, or other kinds of misalignment.  (A fix is
  available, see below)

  Details:
  Cups does not print in any other page size than the one set in 
/etc/papersize, if the requested page size is specified as a job option rather 
than within the PS file. Pages are passed through "gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite ..." 
which sets the page size to the default page size. Yet, I don't know whether 
this is a bug in ghostscript or the intended behavior of ghostscript and a bug 
in cups.

  Since the upgrade to Jauny beta, I experienced that evince would shift
  a document up when printing. It is reproducible. I print in A4 on a
  Canon IR3170Ci.

  The printed output is translated up. The upper part of the contents in
  not visible. I also tried another printer driver (hpijs instead of
  post-script) and did not observe any improvement.

  Changing /etc/papersize from letter to a4 allows me to print in a4.

  Printing from evince also working fine in intrepid.

  To reproduce the bug:
  lpr -omedia=A3 testpage.ps
  There should not be a problem if the postscript file itself requests a page 
size.

  FIX:
  # (For simplicity, just paste this section to a terminal.)
  # Download the attached pstopdf and install it in /usr/lib/cups/filter/
  cd /tmp
  wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25537150/pstopdf
  sudo cp pstopdf /usr/lib/cups/filter/
  # Then change the permissions of the installed file:
  sudo chmod ugo+rx /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf
  # that's all.
