I am trying to get a Canon IP1600 to print in OpenSuse 12.1. There are
ubuntu instructions on the web, that I am trying to adapt
http://askubuntu.com/questions/41615/how-to-install-canon-pixma-ip1600
I downloaded the drivers, tracked down older libraries (gtk1), and
installed the rpms. The ppd file needed minor corrections, to say
resolution 600x600 instead of 600/600, but with that passed the
cupstestppd.
Yast print setup happily detects the printer, reads in the ppd file,
and lets me choose the ip2200 driver (which according to the docs
should support ip1600 as well) . But when I print a test page, nothing
comes out of the printer.
The cups error log is attached. It contains no errors - cups clearly
thinks that all is well. I tried using the command it logs from the
command line, with a ps file, but that just got a bunch of stuff
printed on the console instead of going to the printer. What could be
going wrong here?
(logged command)
/usr/bin/gs -r600 -g4958x7016 -q -dNOPROMPT -dSAFER -sDEVICE=ppmraw
-sOutputFile=- -| /usr/local/bin/cifip2200 --imageres 600 --papersize
a4 --media plain --quality 3 --bbox 9,14,585,834
Thanks

Dear list members,
I have read http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports
on submitting bug reports. And about a year ago I submitted a bug report
on a packaging bug in the ‘neverball’ package (official OSS repository),
using the above guidelines:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699124
This never got a reply, and it looks like the assignee (which was
automatically selected by Bugzilla) is a person that haven’t worked
on openSUSE for *many* years, and probably will never look at the bug
report (since he’s now at Canonical).
Since the official way of reporting bugs in packages (like this one)
doesn’t work, who should I contact, or where should I submit packaging
bug reports so that they get to people that actually are able to do
anything about them? I’d be grateful for any advice.

For a while the evolution app in openSUSE 12.1 has been failing. I have used other readers while waiting for a fix.
I decided that perhaps a better solution was to add GNOME:/STABLE:/3.4/ and see what that evolution does.
Perhaps not one of my better solutions. Aside from evolution still not starting (for apparently different reasons), things like ConsoleKit are now failing. I get a popup message when logging in to KDE about this. So, networking and other things are now broken.
I see that a common complaint is that there are undefined symbols. For example, one of the libraries that was updated is:
/usr/lib/libpolkit-gobject-1.so.0
and it complains that g_mutex_lock is not defined. This file comes from libpolkit0, which was built July 2. So I would think some other person would have experienced any obvious problem.
Other libs make other complaints. But the common thing is that the undefined functions all start with 'g_'. So I am guessing some GNOME library did not get updated. There were no errors when I did the update. So whatever was installed was considered consistent by zypper. Perhaps there is a missing dependency.
I also have GNOME:Apps enabled. My KDE is from KDE:Release:48. Perhaps there is some dependency interaction? I do not have any Factory repos.
Anyone else been there done that?

If I restart nmbd and smbd manually, they work.
What should I check?

It is based on really screwed up reasoning. Why was it accepted?
Regardless, Suse doesn't follow it now, so why not move ahead with
a more soundly reasoned solution.
Seems a smart solution would be to use a separate file-system namespace
with everything but the bin & lib directories being the same between 32&64 bit.
Would provid transparency. Their rational .. that lib(X) is architecture
dependent, also applies to /bin, yet they don't apply the same reasoning.
... more specifically under specific options, they also say:
lib<qual> Alternate format essential shared libraries (optional)
"Lib<qual>" is for an alternate format. Alternate to what? I would assert
alternate format doesn't mean native format. And that on a X64 machine
running an X64 kernel where x32 compatibility is *optional*, that it is
32-bit dirs that are optional. So the document is internally inconsistent
besides being.
=========
I think having a smart loader that virtualizes the arch-dependent dirs.
To make it arch, blind, create a /usr64/{bin,lib}, then on any given
machine, /usr/{bin,lib} can be mounts/links to the native binaries (/usr64 or
/usr32...)...
Rational -- their rational was based on 8 year old data when x86-32 packages out
numbered
x86-64 packages. Clearly that doesn't apply on a modern x86-64 bit system --
where it's better
than 3:1 64-bit (linux certainly has taken the lead on this). Existing 32 bit
binaries
would almost never work on a 64 bit system -- you would need to have the same
libraries installed..
Does suse support taking 32bit binaries from 2004 and installing them on a
2012-suse12.1 system?
If not, the justification for this is negated.
What they don't mention is that existing programs are rebuilt, often from
sources, and will build
with the defaults for that platform. That being the case, it would require
modification of those
programs to work if their lib path wasn't "/usr/lib".
Supporting non-recompiled binaries from 8 or more years prior, I don't think has
ever been
supported. What were they thinking?

With this "versionitis" of thunderbird, the program is in fact worse than
ever.
For example, twice I had the mouse pointer converted to a miniature page
that I assume I have to drop at some folder for the operation to complete.
But I can not drop the page anywhere! ESC does not work, and I retain that
useless mouse pointer even if I go to an xterm. Clicking anywhere in the
desktop does not work, not even outside Th. I have to alt-tab to an xterm,
get the PID and kill thunderbird, using the keyboard, the mouse is dead
till I kill Th.
Another problem.
Eventually, when syncing for off-network usage, it says that some
operation did not complete because some folder is busy doing something
else. I have to click ok and continue. This message is new. What on earth
do I care the problems it finds? I want it to shut up and do its job as it
always did. It doesn't even say what folder is busy and doing what and
ordered by whom, so that I have a chance of killing that operation.
Anybody else has seen this?

Ok, thanks for the explanation.
Maybe only the 'Assignee' should be able to change the priority? (If
that's practically possible)

I've reported a bug that got absolutely zero responses or activity.
Didn't even get triaged yet in 2 months time...
