Description Forgotten User QFh0D9oMPg 2006-10-22 08:11:22 UTC 
Trying to re-enable my printer (HP device usually managed by hplip but currently not working for unknown reasons), I noticed that the printer module of YAST2 is crashing  while rebuilding the printer database/list of installed drivers:

linux:~ # yast2 printer
/sbin/yast2: line 267: 30827 Abgebrochen             $ybindir/y2base  $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" "$Y2_GEOMETRY" $Y2QT_ARGS

The ncurses interface is crashing at this point, too.

Versions (x86_64):
yast2-printer-2.14.3-1
yast2-2.14.6-2
yast2-core-2.14.2-4
hplip-1.6.10-3
cups-(client/libs)-1.2.4-5
cups-drivers-1.2.4-2
cups-backends-1.0-28
libgimpprint-4.2.7-84
manufacturer-PPDs-0.5-29
foomatic-filters-3.0.2-34
(gutenprint is not installed)

This bug seems to be back in 10.2 Beta1.  Has the exact same symptoms as originally described.
Comment 8 Andreas Hanke 2006-10-29 00:34:37 UTC 
John, please read comment 3:

> fixed in yast2-printer-2.14.4

Beta1 ships with yast2-printer-2.14.3, as you can easily verify, and that's why you are experiencing this, but it is already fixed: For Beta2.

Please also read

http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs

which documents that it is already known that this happens in Beta1, and please don't reopen this report again.

Comment 11 Hugo Costelha 2006-11-05 14:14:51 UTC 
Just one thing: if you are updating from beta1 or previous versions, and you still cannot configure your printer, delete the file /var/lib/YaST2/ppd_db.ycp before starting the printer configuration.
Comment 12 Michal Zugec 2006-11-06 07:03:03 UTC 
rpm will do that in beta2

Comment 16 Martin Altmann 2007-01-05 11:32:50 UTC 
I have got the same problem with yast2-printer version 2.14.15-3 in SuSE Linux 10.2-DVD-i386.
Is there a new patch available?
Comment 17 Michal Zugec 2007-01-05 12:23:28 UTC 
Martin, this bug (segfault) produces another one (hanging - #229231)
That one is fixed in version yast2-printer-2.14.17
As workarround delete file /var/lib/YaST2/ppd_db.ycp
