Bug#686217: systemsettings: systemsetting hangs on printer configs
Package: systemsettings
Version: 4:4.8.4-3
Severity: normal
Systemsettings hangs when configuring a new printer or editing the
configuration of an installed printer and hitting the "Apply" button. You must
force close systemsettings and manually kill the process that is left over.
Just browsing the current settings does NOT cause a crash.
Workarounds tried with FAILURE:
Reinstalling systemsettings and kde-workspace and kde-workspace-bin.
Setting up a clean test user.
Workarounds that have SUCCESS:
Using GNOME printer configuration application - reports error ( Option
'printer-resolution' has value '(unknown IPP tag)' and cannot be edited. ) but
then configuration works and can be saved.
Using CUPS browser setup from localhost:631
Errors when launched from a console:
$ systemsettings
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication.
Application may misbehave.
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication.

$ Caught non-fatal exception. Traceback:

kde.py", line 729, in setDataButtonState
printable = (self.ppd != None and
AttributeError: 'GUI' object has no attribute 'ppd'
Continuing anyway..
[Application completely hung at this point with no more errors - can not
navigate in application at all and it needs to be kill -9'd]
