Bug#910879: print-manager: Prevent to start a kde session for all users
Package: print-manager
Version: 4:18.04.1-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Yesterday my daughther came with her laptop and said it was no more possible to log in.
After entering the password, plasmashell was starting, then a strange message from okular
and then a black screen with only the mouse pointer. Plasmashell did carsh.
At fisrt I suspecter the .config or .kde config file to be corrupted, moved them with
no result and then tried my own account with same behavior.
So I installed another windown manager and started plasmashell manually to discover
that print-manager was crashing with SIGSEGV in
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkcupslib.so that in turn makde plasmashell stop.
Removed print-manager and was able to log again on plasma. Didi some savalge
of leftover /var/spool/cups/* old directory and also a file there, reinstalled
print-manager, printer and it continued to work.
Anyway a SIGSEGV in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkcupslib.so is abnormal,
the fact that it can prvent to start a session also.
