| SuSE Linux 10.2 Yast2 crashes while building database of drivers |
 |
Sun, 14 Jan 2007 21:50:58 GMT |
Hello!
I am using Suse 10.2
When I have clicked the "printer"-button in the hardware tab of the
yast2
control center, a window opens, in which I get the following process
messages:
- Check environment
- Read Firewall
- Check database of printers
The process crashes in the last of these three checks.
A popup-window appears, saying:
"The list of installed drivers has changed"
"Building database of drivers"
Please help, as printing is fundamental functionality.
Best regards,
|

Maybe this helps: (A thread called "Yast2 crashes while building
database of drivers" in this newsgroup). It's from 2005 but did the
trick for me (10.1).

1. I did recursively remove /usr/share/cups, to make a "fresh
install"
2. Reinstalled cups-drivers, filters, hplip and hplip-hpijs
After performed suggested actions, I was able to define and configure my
printer.
It seems that there is a problem with CUPS update packages.
Thank you!
With best regards,

I'm seeing the same problem. It starts rebuilding the database of drivers
and hangs at 4%.
y2base is chewing up all cpu, but never makes progress. Attempts to Abort
or close the window are ignored. Killall y2base makes it stop.
Re-starting hangs at the same place every time.
This is openSuse 10.2 i386 with all current patches.

I can't seem to follow that link. Could you paste in the critical bits.
