Scribus missing plugins to print and save
Last modified: 2006-01-09 09:14:38 UTC
Apparently, Scribus is missing the necessary parts to write files and to print to printers. Running scribus from a terminal window (to catch any errors). Try printing to my HP. Failure, with terminal windows saying "Can't find plugin". Try export to PDF - exact same failure.
Can you please be a bit more specific? Post the exact error-message please and maby attach a backtrace.
The exact error message in Scribus was "Printing Failed!". The error reported on the cli was "Can't find plugin". That's it. That's all I have. Since this occured, I have upgraded Scribus to 1.2.3 from the scribus site, using the SuSE-9.3 rpm. It went in fine and fixed the problem right away.
I hit the same and found the problem. The program is looking for the plugins under /usr/lib/scribus/libs/, which contains the following files: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2005-10-26 22:12 libabout.so.0 -> libabout.so.0.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 80765 2005-09-13 04:34 libabout.so.0.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2005-10-26 22:12 libpdf.so.0 -> libpdf.so.0.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 426217 2005-09-13 04:42 libpdf.so.0.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2005-10-26 22:12 libpostscript.so.0 -> libpostscript.so.0.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 134161 2005-09-13 04:41 libpostscript.so.0.0.0libpreferences.so.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2005-10-26 22:12 libpreferences.so.0 -> libpreferences.so.0.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 221757 2005-09-13 04:35 libpreferences.so.0.0.0 But the programm searches for libpdf.so and libpostscript.so which are not found. Just adding symlinks solves the problem. Is this already fixed? I think in this state Scribus is nearly unusable. Or is this just a fault in some installations?
1.2.3-3 still shows the same behaviour. from the spec file: %files devel %defattr(-, root, root) %{_libdir}/scribus/libs/*.so %{_libdir}/scribus/libs/*.*a %{_prefix}/include/scribus maybe try: %files devel %defattr(-, root, root) %ghost {_libdir}/scribus/libs/*.*a %{_prefix}/include/scribus
The 1.2.3 that comes with SuSE 10.0 has the same problem. Added symlinks to fix it.
Er, I meant 10.1.
Created attachment 57815 [details] Revised Spec file for 1.2.4cvs
Comment on attachment 57815 [details] Revised Spec file for 1.2.4cvs This also updates the description and revises Authors to be current.
I guess, that installation of scribus-devel should work-around it. It seems to be caused by subpackage splitting.
Fixed for EDGE, fix will also appear in supplementary KDE repository: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_10.0/yast-source/ Authors list updated in package database. To Andreas Jaeger: Should we provide a YaST online fix (symlink move) for 10.0?
Yes, let's fix for 10.0, swamp-id is:Maintenance-Tracker-3026
Fixed package and patchinfo submitted. /work/src/done/PATCHINFO/scribus.patch.box Please translate DESCRIPTION_DE. Required links were packaged by mistake to scribus-devel package. It caused many problems in the application. This update moves them to scribus package.
