https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697833 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697833#c0 Summary: Yast cannot ping ipv6 cups servers Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: nevor@nevor.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/534.24 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu/10.10 Chromium/11.0.696.68 Chrome/11.0.696.68 Safari/534.24 After having manually configured /etc/cups/client.conf with an IPv6 server, Yast keeps displaying warnings about the server not being pingable although everything works fine. After the acceptation of all the warnings and the suppression of the server dismissed, the printer is finally displayed as expected but the warnings come back eventually. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Having an IPv6 cups server 2. Configure /etc/cups/client.conf with the address 3. Run the yast printer utility Actual Results: A bunch of warnings about the cups server not pingable, an advise of suppressing the server. The printer actually shows up into the list. Expected Results: Yast being able to ping the server and displaying directly the printer. /etc/cups/client.conf : ServerName [fd53:2e0:ce2a:4::1] Error details : The server '[fd53:2e0:ce2a:4::1]' is not accessible via port 631 (IPP/CUPS) The server '[fd53:2e0:ce2a:4::1]' does not respond to a 'ping' in the network. The server '[fd53:2e0:ce2a:4::1]' is not known by the DNS. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

CUPS supports IPv6 - therefore printing works. For now all you can do is to ignore such false test results. Currently there is not any kind of special IPv6 support in yast2-printer. Currently IPv6 works only where it is compatible to IPv4 but there are cases where IPv6 needs special handling. For example the tests whether or not a remote host is accessible run "ping <IP-address or hostname>" which fails if IP-address is an IPv6 address because for IPv6 ping6 must be used. Unfortunately ping6 cannot be used for IPv4 addresses so that yast2-printer needs to implement special distinction of cases in particular if a hostname is given depending on whether or not the hostname has an IPv4 or IPv6 address or both. Probably there are some more special distinction of cases needed to distinguish between IPv4 and IPv6 stuff. I will file a FATE feature request to get this implemented. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
