Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gfax
ubuntu 10.04
gfax 0.7.7+ds-1
with the source version gfax 0.7.7 there is a postinstall.sh script that
you run to finalise the install.
This script:
- creates /var/spool/gfax and sets its permissions. Without this dir gfax
crashes on startup.
- adds a gfax printer to CUPS so users can print from any appliction
- registers gfax in gnome.
0.7.7+ds1from the repository only performs the last action leaving you
unable to start gfax and without the printer.
I've seen this both on a 9.10 => 10.04 upgrade (installing gfax for the
first time in 10.04) and on a 10.04 clean install.
postinstall.sh is attached. Running the script after installing from
repositories (you must also restart cups after running the script)
should fix both problems.
