I have the gnome-python package installed from the SuSE 9.1 DVD but python acts like it isn't there. The problem has come up while trying to get gramps to work. The gramps folks all point to a broken SuSE package, the comment I see frequently is "SuSE is known for shipping incomplete gnome-python packages." But no-one seems to be able to point me to a solution. The error shows up like this.... helphand@helphand:~> python Python 2.3.3 (#1, Apr 6 2004, 09:45:08) [GCC 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
import pygtk pygtk.require('2.0') import gnome.ui Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: could not import bonobo.ui
Now, both gnome.ui and bonobo.ui *are* installed and *are* on my hard drive in the locations seen here ... http://www.suse.com/us/private/products/suse_linux/prof/packages_amd64/pytho... Both Python and the gnome-python package came straight from SuSE media and were installed via Yast. Can anyone point me in the right direction for solving this?

Nothing like solving your own problem <g>. The python-orbit package is required for bonobo to work correctly with python. ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.1-x86_64/RPMS.base/python-orbit-2.0.0-159.x86_64.rpm Additionally, if anyone else out there has been trying to get gramps to work, it needs the python-xml package ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.1-x86_64/RPMS.base/python-xml-2.3.3-65.x86_64.rpm Note, adjust above links for your architecture. Once those two are installed, gramps starts up fine and runs on my AMD64. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.5-7.95-default x86_64
This is driving me crazy. I have samba server set up and apparently working fine, I can browse to the SuSE box from Win98 and install the printer with no issues. When I print, however, nothing seems to make it to the printer. I can see the print job as 'active' in CUPS, but nothing prints. I've googled, read the CUPS and Samba sections of the SuSE admin manual, read more than I ever wanted to know about both CUPS and Samba, but I cannot see where the problem is. I tried to simplify things by trying to use the PDF Creator to see what is going on, but it too fails to print, it dumps a strange message in var/log/messages Aug 1 15:31:25 helphand smbd[19043]: [2004/08/01 15:31:25, 0] lib/substitute.c:alloc_sub_basic(505) Aug 1 15:31:25 helphand smbd[19043]: alloc_sub_basic: NULL source string!

They just never make it to the printer. If anyone has any ideas on where I can look I would sure appreciate pointers.

Is the printer you are trying to connect to set up as a raw print queue? If you don't know, it probably isn't. If it isn't a raw queue, look at /etc/cups/mime.convs and make sure application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw is uncommented (bottom of the file) as well as application/octet-stream in /etc/cups/mime.types (again toward the bottom of the file). If that solves the problem, great! If not check in /var/log/cups/error_log and see if you can find a clue. If editing the two cups files does the trick, be sure to check them again if cups gets updated. I've had these modified files overwritten with an update. You can avoid that problem by setting up a raw print queue for your printer and pointing the windows machine to that queue. I've seen both ways described as 'the best way', so... have fun! Doug

You DID restart cups after that change, correct? "rccups restart" Generally the way to do this is to make two entries in cups one for the linux side (defining the printer exactly as what it is) and one for the windows side defining the printer only as RAW (because windows already have the drivers). (I prefer to use the built in cups software rather than yast, by pointing my web browser at http://localhost:631/ ) -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Yes, and rcsmb just for good measure too.

OK, let me give that a try. I'm going to set up a second printer in cups and blow away all the configured stuff on Win98 and re-set those up.

Right, I'm using webmin plus the cups software, though I'm actually editing smb.conf with vi so I can see what the heck I'm doing.... and I *am* restarting after any change. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.5-7.95-default x86_64

One last shot in the dark... Have you tried printing with your linux box lately, just to make sure all is still ok there. I don't reboot often, but when I do, I have to use yast to redetect my printer. Usually I have to unplug the usb cable, plug it back in, then redetect the printer. I still haven't figured that out, and since I seldom reboot, I won't spend much time on it. Point is, make sure it still prints locally... just rule that out. Doug

Yeah, I thought of that one. Prints fine locally. I'm still scratching my head over *where* cups thinks it is sending this stuff that it supposedly printed....

Sorry I have just noticed this thread. If you run lpstat -a is the printer 'RawDeskjet' mentioned? If the printer does not appear, I would suggest that you have samba incorrectly configured. Please let me know and I will send you my config file. If you do have this printer name it may help to increase the debug level for cups to see what is actually happening. As root edit the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf On line about 166 you should see LogLevel info change it to LogLevel debug and restart cups Try and print something from Windows and then have a look at the log files for cups. The other area where you can have trouble is trying to print raw data to the printer. There are two files involved. /etc/cups/mime.convs and /etc/cups/types. Edit both these files as root. In /etc/cups/mine.convs remove the comment (#) from the line #application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0 - at the end of the file. In /etc/cups/mime.types remove the comment (#) from the line #application/octet-stream located at towards the end of the file. Now restart cups and try printing again from windows. If this does not work, please post the output from lpstat -a and the relevant lines from the error.log with the increased debug level. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

If you do have this printer name it may help to increase the debug level for cups to see what is actually happening.
Done.
Try and print something from Windows and then have a look at the log files for cups.
Done, no change. Still doesn't print.
The other area where you can have trouble is trying to print raw data to the printer. There are two files involved. /etc/cups/mime.convs and /etc/cups/types.
Edit both these files as root.
Done.
Now restart cups and try printing again from windows.
Done, again no change.
If this does not work, please post the output from lpstat -a and the relevant lines from the error.log with the increased debug level.
Here's the log....
Well I could not see anything wrong in the log. Is there anything in the samba logs indicating a problem? The only other thing that I can think of is that the file being printed is zero length and the problem lies in the Windows box. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

I don't think so, the http://localhost:631/ cups interface shows the 'completed' job as being 270k in size, e.g, LEGGS51 270k completed at Mon Aug 2 18:12:39 2004 I've tried to capture it by literally turning the printer off in hopes that the job will just sit in the queue, but having the printer turned off makes absolutely no difference, same log entries and same appearance of having printed. Clearly something's screwed up but I have no clue where to look anymore. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.5-7.95-default x86_64

If you have the printer turned off the file to be printed should appear in /var/spool/cups. There should be two files, c0???? and a d0???? of the same number. If the file is printed only the c0???? file should remain. The d0???? holds the data to be printed. My only other suggestion is to reinstall Cups and see if that resolves the problem. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I am not an expert but I manage this problem as I explain you.
I only manage in Suse 9.0 not in 9.1
1-go to Yast/hardware/printers.
2- in advance mode change CUPS by LPRng.
3- when chose new printer. smb mode.
4-before make any test. finish all process and start again Yast to make test
and works fine
Regards
Alejo

This is driving me crazy. I have samba server set up and apparently working fine, I can browse to the SuSE box from Win98 and install the printer with no issues.
When I print, however, nothing seems to make it to the printer.
I can see the print job as 'active' in CUPS, but nothing prints.
I've googled, read the CUPS and Samba sections of the SuSE admin manual, read more than I ever wanted to know about both CUPS and Samba, but I cannot see where the problem is.
I tried to simplify things by trying to use the PDF Creator to see what is going on, but it too fails to print, it dumps a strange message in var/log/messages

No too encouraging when the software tells you 'this should not happen' <g>
My /etc/samba/smb.conf file looks like this....
# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file.

Again, all of my attempts do result in the print job ending up as completed CUPS jobs so clearly the Win98 box talks to the SuSE box and gets that far. They just never make it to the printer.
If anyone has any ideas on where I can look I would sure appreciate pointers.
