[Bug 449714] New: A defined connection can't be deleted
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449714 Summary: A defined connection can't be deleted Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta 5 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mgyhardsoft@freestart.hu QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- In YaST2 printer wizard if there is a connection defined it cannot be really deleted. When it is removed and adding a new connection is started the removed connection data appear again. The only way to loose them is to exit and re-enter the YaST printer module (just like if it were a Microsoft program). How to reproduce: 1. Start YaST2 printer module 2. Try to add a new print queue (I tried CUPS and Windows). 3. Fill in the necessary data and press OK. 4. YaST2 says that adding the print queue is unsuccessful - even if the connection string is perfectly perfect. Press OK. 5. Now you get back to Point 2. Try to add another print queue. The dialog popping up contains the previously entered connection string, and there is no way to remove or replace it - at least I couldn't discover the way. -- 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.

If I quit the YaST2 printer module and restart it, the connection disappears anyway - as I expect it. Just a question: if a connection isn't valid anymore (e.g. I regularly sell my old printers to former friends (after buying the printer they are not friends anymore...)), how can it be removed? -- 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.

I've downloaded the latest yast2-printer from your home but the "Test Connection" button still does not display anything, the connection string built correctly, but when I click on OK I get an error message that the print queue is not created and the detail says: "lpadmin: Bad device-uri "smb://<username>:<password>@<domainname>/Server/Magicolor 2300 FF"!" However, the URI is not bad enough not to be entered to the connections at least temporarily. So I quit YaST printer module, restart it and the URI is gone, I can start to experiment with a new one. So if your intention is to keep even the wrong URI then it does not work, because it disappears after the yast2-printer restart. BTW, is there a way to permanently delete my attachment as it contains not very public data and apparently has no use at all? Your help would be highly appreciated. -- 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.

Why don't you just provide such very important information? How should I help you when I cannot know what you run on your system? In yast2-printer version 2.17.48 which is available via the openSUSE build service at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/ the connection tests in the Connection Wizard should again work as good as before in the old yast2-printer module, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445543#c6 Your DeviceURI is bad because the last part, the SMB share name "Magicolor 2300 FF" must not contain spaces (I guess <username>, <password>, and <domainname> is replaced by real values). For example this one would work: root@host# lpadmin -p testy \ -v 'smb://username:password@domainname/Server/Magicolor2300FF' For further help, see the help text in YaST: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft Windows/SAMBA (SMB/CIFS) ..

I installed 2.17.48-1.2 and now I got meaningful error messages. - Zuerst when I pressed the Test Connection button it displayed that the sbmclient is not executable. - Then I installed samba-client from the 11.1 RC1 DVD. - When I pressed the Test Connection button again, it found the domain, the server, but it gave error "tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME Share Magicolor 2300 FF on VS2000/EDEN does not accept print jobs". The reason is apparently that the printer share name contains spaces, because I could connect to a share with no spaces in its name. However, there ARE spaces in the share name and Windows clients can connect to it, and as far as I remember - also Ubuntu 8.04.1. Rename the printer is not really possible because then the whole company looses connection to it. The sysadmin promised me to find some solution of alias or something like this. However, Samba clinet should be able to connect to shares containing spaces in their name. -- 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.

Its first word (the so called URI scheme) specifies the kind of data-transfer, for example 'parallel', 'usb', 'socket', 'lpd', or 'ipp'. After the scheme there are more or less additional parts (separated by slash '/' characters) which specify the details for this kind of data-transfer. Finally there could be optional parameters (separated by a question mark '?') of the form option1=value1&option2=value2&option3=value3 so that a full device URI could be for example: ipp://server.domain:631/printers/queuename?waitjob=false&waitprinter=false Special characters must be percent-encoded (also known as URL encoding). For example a space character ' ' must be written as '%20' and a plus sign '+' must be written as '%2B'. Some examples: A USB printer model 'Fun Printer 1000+' made by 'ACME' with serial number 'A1B2C3' may have a device URI like: usb://ACME/Fun%20Printer%201000%2B?serial=A1B2C3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I.e. try out if something like smb://<username>:<password>@<domainname>/Server/Magicolor%202300%20FF works for you and report if it works because I am very interested to see if /usr/bin/smbspool works correctly with percent-encoded characters in the Device URI. -- 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.
