| artifexirc-bot | <zenny> HI, I am whining around to fix the cups-pdf printing issue, reportedly related to ghostscript-9.54 (as I discussed here with related links: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/30615#issuecomment-863952541 This has become a show-blocker in my day-to-day operation. Any idea how to fix? I asked in #voidlinux channel with no solution either. | 11:58.28 |
| | <KenSharp> Well we can't really help with CUPS, I can't immediately see anything in the log which looks like its Ghostscript. | 12:00.15 |
| | <KenSharp> Without an example file and a Ghostscript command line its difficult to see how we can help you | 12:02.31 |
| | <KenSharp> Have you tried downgrading Ghostscript ? | 12:03.34 |
| | <zenny> Yep, that appears to be a pita in voidlinux with dependency hell, fyi. | 12:04.30 |
| | <KenSharp> Well, I can't help you with that either | 12:04.54 |
| | <KenSharp> If you can rebuild Ghostscript from source you can easily enough add back the .setpfwrite code, or simply define it as a no-op | 12:05.30 |
| | <KenSharp> To be honest I think you really need some help from the CUPS people to isolate where the problem actually is. | 12:06.38 |
| | <KenSharp> The other obvious thing is to contact the package maintainers for your distribution I guess | 12:08.08 |
| | <zenny> Yep, instead of downgrading, I made changes related to deprecated .setpdfwrite in cups-pdf source as described in https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/30615#issuecomment-863996969 and it worked. Thanks for your input | 12:19.32 |
| | <KenSharp> Ah well, glad to hear you have it working 🙂 | 12:19.56 |
| | <zenny> the package maintainer gave no response for more than a month, fyi! | 12:20.18 |
| | <KenSharp> Well I guess this isn't one of hte larger distributions. I'm afraid we cna't help you there, its not someone we have contact information for | 12:20.57 |
| | <zenny> So kind of you. The cups-pdf package maintainer of voidlinux is Piraty <piraty1@inbox.ru>, fyi. | 12:23.09 |
| | <zenny> Actually I am stuck because of runit (systemed is a bit exhaustive to debug for me). | 12:24.05 |
| | <KenSharp> I see that from the thread, what I meant is he's not soemone that we deal with regularly. A number of package maintainers for various distributions test out our release candidates and so on, and we have some contacts in CUPS as well,but not for void Linux I'm afraid. You are as likely as we are (perhaps even more likely) to get a useful response | 12:24.35 |
| | <zenny> Yep it has nothing to do with ghostscript, but cups-pdf which is using deprecated descriptor. Anyway the problem got solved for now and thanks for your inputs which led to a working binary of cups-pdf compatible with gs-9.54 :D | 13:25.59 |
