http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=553147 Summary: Configuring printer in Yast2 fails to start CUPs server daemon Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: marc@marcchamberlin.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.15) Gecko/2009102100 SUSE/3.0.15-0.1 Firefox/3.0.15 I have gone through the process of configuring a printer, and was at a loss as to why it was always failing. Apparently upon completion, YaST's printer configuration tool fails to start up the CUPS server daemon. I discovered this by doing an rccups status immediately after using the YaST printer setup tool and discovered the CUPs daemon was NOT running. I then immediately started the cups server with rccups start and it would start running. This shows that while the printer configuration process works fine, and does not generate any configuration errors, that the CUPs daemon was not started properly, nor apparently is the CUPS daemon even tested to insure that it is up and running by YaST's printer setup tool. THIS IS A SERIOUS FLAW! The user cannot use the CUP's web setup if the CUP's server is not up an running. The only other GUI that is capable of guiding a user through the process of setting up a printer is via YaST2. And if YaST2 fails then the user will be left in the dark without any understanding of why a printer is not working! I KNOW! TOOK ME HOURS AND HOURS TO TRACK THIS DOWN! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up a cupsd.conf with an error that prevents the CUPS daemon from running 2. Use YaST2 to configure a printer (an corrects the previous error) 3. Do an rccups status to determine if CUPs server is running. Actual Results: CUPs server is not started nor tested properly to determine if it was successfully configured and started. Expected Results: I expect the CUPs server to be started automatically, and tested, upon completion of the printer setup in YaST2 -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
