[opensuse-gnome] Do you have some time? Test system-config-printer!
Hi, I've put a new system-config-printer in home:vuntz:factory-playground, and it'd be nice to have people playing with it. I welcome all kind of bug reports (I'm aware of quite a few UI things that could be improved), of course, but the interesting thing to test is that there's some PolicyKit love in there. Okay, it's hacky love, since the way it's implemented is, hrm, interesting :-) But it works right now. At least, that's what I'd like people to check. There are still a few issues: + some time, you get the non-PolicyKit dialog asking for a root password (the most annoying case is on startup, when you have a smb printer). That's just because the request sent to the server is not implemented yet in the PolicyKit helper. But most useful methods are implemented. + in theory, a PolicyKit helper is supposed to be secure. Right now, it's not as secure as it should be. For example, it doesn't check if the arguments that it will send to CUPS are okay. But that's fine for testing. + the policy defined is, err, dumb. There's just one action defined, and all configuration changes use this action to check the user is authorized. That's not what we want, I guess, but this is easily fixable later: we just need to know what kind of actions we want to distinguish. Please play with this if you have some time. And file bugs (assign them to me). (FWIW, the real long term solution is most probably to patch CUPS itself, but it was not possible to do this for 11.1 for various reasons -- most notably, time.)

Has anyone tested this one yet? I just tried, it installed fine but it does not run: ImportError: No module named test.test_support Is the package missing some dependancies?

You're hit by a bad python. Install python from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python:/Factory/...

Confirmed... it's working now. While it still needs some love, the GUI really has changed a lot from when I have last seen it a year ago or so, in Fedora. Now I need a printer to actually test :) Cheers, -Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

Feel free to file bugs for the UI, btw. Things like "Esc doesn't close the dialogs" or "Inconsistencies between context menu and Printer menu" is known to me, but a reminder won't hurt :-) (although I probably won't fix those things if upstream reject the patches -- there's no point in deviating from upstream) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
