Hi Bruno, thank you for reporting the issue! Would you mind reproducing the issue when you start system-config-printer with --debug option, catching the messages which it outputs and attach them as txt file into the github ticket?
Hi guys, Is there anything that I can do to support that fix? Maybe more tests or simulations...
Hi Bruno, I commited fallback which fixes the error as pull request #144 . I created scratch build for Fedora too.
Would you mind testing the scratch build in bugzilla ticket?
hi @zdohnal It solved the crash. But I don't know if it solved the problem.
The print is always at "Held for Authentication" state. I tried to use my LDAP (Active Directory) user and it is not logging (no error message). So I tried with a wrong password and it continue no showing any error message.
That change introduced a guessing mode (looking at debug message). But that is not the case. We should authenticate to print. Now the authentication window is appearing but not working.
debugprint ("No auth-info-required attribute; "
"guessing instead")
I'm sorry for not responding - there were several samba issue at that time, it looks like one.
I stumbled upon this issue a while ago as well. The workaround to get everything working is to modify /etc/cups/printers.conf
. The entry for the printer you are trying to use probably contains AuthInfoRequired none
, which should be changed to AuthInfoRequired username,password
. That fixes the problem with the GUI and also lets you authenticate correctly. As for why this happens, I have no idea but it probably a bug in another component. The pull request that fixed this issue, however, only silently masks the problem. Maybe an error message is advisable?
It seems a general problem. Usage Scenario: user trying to print when an authentication is required. The authentication window is crashing.
It is found by me in Fedora and a similar problem was reported in CentOS: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1748105 https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=16326
