It would be interesting to know whether that fixes > the problem. Interesting!. The consequences are super nasty though. My KDE desktop wouldn't boot at all. No wallpaper, no menus, nothing. Obvious debugging or first counter-measures won't work either (such as wiping out ~/.config/). I haven't tried cancel -a now since the first thing I went through is re-installing cups completely which fixed the problem. Not sure how to reproduce it now. Still, I was seconds away of installing other distro or something... This one should get fixed. I didn't do any weird stuff just user my printer a few times last night (and it worked fine) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
