[opensuse] openSUSE 11 configure printer error, bug??

I try to install a network printer. All goes well and the printer appears in YaST. When I try to configure it (still using YaST) to select the right driver for the printer, YaST crashes and give me this error : xmessage dialog terminate called after throwing an intance of 'std::logic_error' what(): basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid YaST got signal 6 at YCP file printer/dialogs.ycp:2569 /sbin/yast2: line 421: 7692 Aborted $ybinfir/y2base $MODULE "$@" "$SELECTED+GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS any idea?? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

File a bugreport. Someone at Novell or SUSE will be glad to throw it in the trash. I hear that they have a dartboard with "WORKSFORME," "FEATURE," "INVALID," "WONTFIX," etc and when you submit a bugreport they thrown a dart to pick the "appropriate resolution" for the ticket.

It does seem a bug. You might go round it using the web interface to cups (http://localhost:631) instead of yast. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

If its a network printer in GNOME, its probably: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=402262 Test packages are attached and submitted for an official update. -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr@novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
