Printing Bug
Hi,
I have a bug report against UMLet [1] which states that printing to a
shared SMB printer using CUPS with authentication-requirement does not
work. I had the reporter test printing with "freemind" too, where he has
the same problem.
A superficial web search does not reveal a solution for this problem and
I am not so much into the Java-Printing stuff that I can do a lot here.
Since UMLet uses standard java mechanism for printing I suspect it is
not really an UMLet bug, but one within Java (he uses OpenJDK 6):
import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;
[...]
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
printJob.setPrintable(this.getDrawPanel());
if (printJob.printDialog()) try {
printJob.print();
} catch (PrinterException pe) {
Main.displayError(Constants.ERROR_PRINTING);
}
Any help would be appreciated.
Best regards
Ben

Sometimes companies simply need to pay money for a product to have someone to blame. Debian is volunteer driven, and thus noone can be put under any real pressure. For companies it is sometimes better to pay for the service and thus have someone who is responsible for that. In fact I would see the security team statement in that light, they provide security support for money and thus probably guarantee that updates are prepared in a certain time frame. > and since their ad is entitled "Debian of full age", it kind of > suggests that Debian per se is immature, a child, an assertion I'd > strongly oppose.

I do not think that Debian as a whole should take action, but you could sent an email to them and tell them that they've hurt your feelings (and you, as opposed to me, form a part of Debian). Perhaps they'll act on your criticism. Best regards Ben -- Please do not send any email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- all email not originating from the mailing list will be deleted.

Re: No more bugreports from me.

But he did. It sounds to me that there was a misunderstanding and this is most unfortunate. However, misunderstanding happens, especially in written language. Please do not blame the Aptitude maintainer for this, since he probably thought, that your consent to forward your mail, covered the full email. However, in such a case it would be in my opinion most desirable, if the BTS administrator could act quickly to remedy the situation (even though the BTS is probably mirrored at various locations..).

Re: Reforming the NM process
Hello > like your studies (beeing in a computer science PhD/MSC "helps"), Well this might be interesting for the Debian project, but applicants might not want this to become public knowledge. Please do not assume, that this is for any particular reason, but merely for keeping ones privacy. Debian is about diversity, and I think you have to understand, that there are people who are trying to dispose as little information about themselves as possible. You may call it paranoia, but others might say that this is merely protecting their privacy. And please don't argue that you are making some things already public by entering NM/Debian. This is right, but this is information commonly accepted to be necessary for keeping Debian transparent. So it is necessary if you want to participate. > I don't see why oh why the position > of an applicant that want to become a DD would be protected in any > mean. Again, you make your general point of view available by being an DD, but there is no need to do so for your specific comments.

Debian is about > transparency. I disagree with you. All that people need to know outside Debian, is that you conceed with the Debian guidelines on freedom, nothing more. I have strong feeling about preserving privacy as far as possible, but this is OT here. But after rereading Marc's and Michael's post, I noticed, that they were not advocating putting your _specific_ views on such a page (Michael merely mentioned a small paragraph on your motivation). So my concerns are in fact irrelevant, as long as this page is not extended. Best regards Ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

This is because not everyone feels comfortable having personal information (like your specific view on free software) world-accessable. Debian developers need to know, since you are about to become part of their community, but no one else needs to know more than is exposed by your membership in the Debian community anyways.

Give someone the rights to vote or upload something for > Debian isn't consider him "second class developer", This was not intended as a rant. It might be useful to have different types of participants with different access rights. I was merely arguing, that I think it is not worth the effort to do this for people in NM, which they should leave sooner or later (rather sooner than later). If it is implemented as a long term membership (like, e.g. a doc-member who has no packaging rights) that's a different issue. Sorry that I was unclear about this.

Re: Reforming the NM process
Hello, my comments as someone planning to enter NM during the next couple of month follow. Overall I find your analysis enlightening. I agree with those points I do not discuss here. > 1.2.1 Add more people [Marc argues that this is not a long solution] I disagree here up to a certain point. I think having more people doing the job does help the problem even in the long term. The work is distributed on more shoulders, and people get less frustrated. Let me put it this way: I can imagine working at a conveyer belt for 1 hour a day, but I can't doing it a whole day. However, this assumes that more people are willing to do the job. > 2.1 Multiple advocates > 2.2 Requiring (more) work before applying I totally agree. > 2.3 Separate upload permissions, system accounts and voting rights Unless you are not planning to have long term "second class developers" (i.e. developers with restricted rights), I don't think it is a good idea. The additional overhead IMO is not worth the effort for a few month. After all the goal of the proposal is that applicatants are not stuck in NM for so long any more.
