system-config-printer doesn't start

[jls]

Hi

Code: [Select]

jls@box:~$ system-config-printer
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 25, in <module>
    import config
ImportError: No module named config
Thanks

system-config-printer brongs up the GUI in dCore-wheezy.  But in dCore-trusty, which I assume you are using, the package name is system-config-printer-gnome, and I see those errors you report.  I am sure you have the knowledge to help troubleshoot this, and that would be appreciated.  But I will look for the issue and try to resolve it.

[Jason W]

I have made some startup scripts for the python3 packages, system-config-printer is working in dCore-wily, or at least the gtk3 interface is working.  I will get it working on the other dCore ports.

[Jason W]

Got it working in dCore-trusty, just needed a missing dep.  Please run "sce-update -a" and reboot, or just update the SCE that contains system-config-printer if it does not exist in any other loaded SCEs during runtime. 

Thank you for the report and your help in the improvement of dCore.

In core, this means you're missing gtk3-gir or similar

Hi
after an update it works but:

Code: [Select]

jls@box:/mnt/sdc1/tce/sce$ cat system-config-printer-gnome.sce.dep
printer-driver-gutenprint
sce-load system-config-printer-gnome doesn't autoload printer-driver-gutenprint.
Thanks

[Jason W]

Ok, I will check into the .dep issue.

In this case, the /usr/bin/python3.4 file itself needed to exist as a "real" file and not a symlink to /tmp/tcloop/...   as the python binary uses relative paths.

Hi. what are the packages to import in order to have a nomad dcore that can print on 'any' printer like the live ubuntu does? Thanks

[Jason W]

I imported system-config-printer-gnome using printer-driver-gutenprint as a dep and it loads as expected here.

Outside of cups I am not familiar of a package set that supports all printers.

Hi,

I imported system-config-printer-gnome and printer-driver-gutenprint and make a system-config-printer-gnome.sce.dep with printer-driver-gutenprint on it, when I run:

Code: [Select]

tc@ub-dC-tr-ordjd:~$ system-config-printer
ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for Gdk
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 32, in <module>
    from gi.repository import Gdk
ImportError: cannot import name Gdk
tc@ub-dC-tr-ordjd:~$

Then I make a sce-update system-config-printer-gnome  with:

Code: [Select]

No updates available for chosen SCEs at this time.
tc@ub-dC-tr-ordjd:~$

I'm missing something?

All this in trusty.

[Jason W]

What is the output of "ls -l /usr/bin/python3.4"?

[Onyarian]

Code: [Select]

tc@ub-dC-tr-ordjd:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/python3.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 sep 24 15:48 /usr/bin/python3.4 -> /tmp/tcloop/jdudesk1t/usr/bin/python3.4
tc@ub-dC-tr-ordjd:~$


[jls]

Hi

Code: [Select]

jls@box:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/python3.4
ls: impossibile accedere a /usr/bin/python3.4: File o directory non esistente
jls@box:~$
Which in english is: no such file or directory, but  system-config-printer here starts.

[Jason W]

Here is what I get with that command:

tc@box:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/python3.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 Sep 24 22:48 /usr/bin/python3.4 -> /tmp/tcloop/200-multimedia-wily/usr/bin/python3.4
tc@box:~$
