From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.6-3.1smp i686; Nav) Description of problem: printconf-gui initial panel looks promising. selecting "new" initial screen - ok Selecting Queue Name & Type - screen ok. enter lp (or ps) and click local <next> After this it is all downhill... The help (main panel) doesn't work It's not obvious how to fill up the "Configure Unix Print Queue" panel. All the labels are missing (see "Configure Unix Print Queue" "Configure Windows Print Queue" "Configure a Novell Print Queue" "Select a Printer Driver" There are NO printer drivers, and it is not possible to select a printer driver. There are also alot of errors being generated in teh xterm from which printconf-gui is started: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/libglade.py", line 28, in __call__ ret = apply(self.func, a) File "/usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_gui.py", line 471, in nqd_handle_next printer = dev["printer"] KeyError: printer ============================================================ printconf-tui shows slightly more promise, but bombs out when <Next>ing from the "Setting Up Local Printer Device" panel. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run printconf-gui as per above, run printconf-tui as per above 2. 3. Actual Results: 1. printconf-gui is missing labels, and can't configure printer. help is also missing 2. printconf-tui crashes as per above. Expected Results: A properly configured printcap, by an easy / intuitive gui Additional info:
this is a fixed bug. There was an error right at the beginning of the new dialog, and everything after that was off in fishkill. I need to figure out how to make python errors in pygtk fatal, as this was really a crash.
I just checked rawhide. rawhide contains the following: printconf-0.3.0-5 printconf-gui-0.3.0-5 This is exactly the same printconf as on beta3, and the problem described above is definately there. I also checked the SRPMS, just incase the rpms had not been re-generated. The SRPMS are the same version (0.3.0-5) I am not seeing RAWHIDE as containing the fix. -Greg
trust me, its fixed. The rawhide resolution means "I fixed it, it will eventually work its way through the distiribution system to the outside world." Reopening this bug will not make it show up sooner, /I/ cannot make it show up sooner.
