User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100527 SUSE/3.6.4-2.4 Firefox/3.6.4 When setting a printer description in yast2 that contains quotes (such as '' 42" roll printer ''), yast2 fails to re-read the printer queue afterwards. It displays an error message "failed to read /var/lib/YaST2/autodetected_print_queues.ycp. The yast2 log shows that it fails when re-reading /var/lib/YaST2/autodetected_print_queues.ycp (see attached y2log snippet). Yast2 printer then permanently fails, and not printers can be configured anymore. Previously configures printers keep working, though. To recover, I had to change the printer description string in /etc/printcap, /etc/cups/printers.conf and /etc/cups/printers.conf.0, removing the ". Afterwards, everything is back to normal. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add a printer with yast2. 2. edit the printer entry, use " anywhere in the description string 3. click "finish" Actual Results: Yast2 fails to read /var/lib/YaST2/autodetected_print_queues.ycp and displays an error message. Printer configuration from now on permanently fails for this reason. Expected Results: Yast2 does not fail, but catch entering quotes in the description string. This bug is also present in 11.2. I guess a check in yast2 whether the description string (probably also the location?) contains " will fix this bug. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
