[Bug 749451] New: Adding a new printer via requires root password
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=749451 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=749451#c0 Summary: Adding a new printer via requires root password Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 12.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: gp@suse.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Product Management Blocker: --- How to reproduce: 1. Start system-config-printer (manually or via the menu) 2. Click Add 3. Watch a dialog "Privileges are required to get list of available devices" and "Password for root" pop up. This is really not usable for non-expert users, who have their machines configured and maintained the geeks among us, but want to roam (to other wireless networks, the printers there, and different timezones -- think going on vacation abroad). Can we please make the default more non-geek friendly? -- 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.

do you think it is somehow possible to get the CUPS Operation Policies settings and the PolicyKit settings for cups-pk-helper automatically aligned? I mean that when the admin cahnges one of them, an automatism adapts the other one.
Our PolicyKit settings are controlled by polkit-default-privs (and set_polkit_default_privs, that applies the defined policies). I guess something could try to synchronize the settings between the cups config and /etc/polkit-default-privs.local, though. -- 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.
