Actual Results: No printer configuration dialog appears Expected Results: Printer setup dialog should appear and allow printer setup. Additional info: Command line system-config-printer does function to open a printer setup dialog. Test 2 system completely up2date with development packages 4/4/04.
Works for me. Need more details: is this enforcing mode? Does 'setenforce 0' help? What does 'id -Z' say in a terminal? Etc.. Especially: what precise *versions* are you using? Need rpm -q output before we can even say we're looking at the same packages.
Well it works for me now, also. [root@gstpc gerry]# rpm -q system-config-printer system-config-printer-0.6.98-1 I tried it with SELINUX=enforcing and permissive. No difference. At the time I had the problem, I had installed all the latest updates, but had not rebooted. On the next reboot I got a kernel panic because /etc/security/selinux/policy.16 was misnamed to policy. I don't know if that had any bearing or not.
