Hello Lars, Details follow:
Ubuntu 10.04 cups 1.4.3-ubuntu3 system-config-printer-gnome 1.2.0+20100408-0ubuntu5.2 system-config-printer ran as a regular user (cups permissions setup accordingly...) I know that cupsUser should return only one user name but apparently it does not. It returns a \n separated list of users instead. This a sample from the cups log where 3 users were returned: D [21/Dec/2011:12:06:22 +0000] add_job: requesting-user-name="dep5 cinf dep1" You can see the line breaks on the cups log. System-config-printer was probably tested on workstations with a single user logged in at once (login via physical console...) whereas the scenario we found problems with is a desktop VM where multiple users can be logged via SSH or RDP (xrdp). To reproduce this you may have to setup xrdp and open sessions for at least 2 users at once. Anyway it seems that would be better to have system-config-printer use a method that simply returns the calling user, rather than depend on a Cups function that does something less trivial and fails under certain conditions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/908667 Title: system-config-printer can't determine username if multiple users are logged in To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/908667/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
