Otherwise, cups will be built without systemd support. The upstream
systemd service unit expects cups to have systemd support however. When
cups is built without systemd support, the daemon will fork to the
background. Consequently, systemd will think the service is done and
enter inactive state.
Along with 9de93be6cd and
47330b1732 this patch fixes the nixos
printer test timing out in `waitForUnit("cups.service")`; see
NixOS/nixpkgs#14748
`cp`, `grep`, `chmod`, `sed` executables
no longer found when upgrading from nixos
15.09 to 16.03. Fixed by use of wrapper
script that brings these executables into
`PATH`.
Also fix lpd binaries on 64 bits machines
by use of `callPackage_i686`.
This reverts commit e338d6a0fc. I originally
reverted the update because it broke my Samsung printer. Now, it turns out that
this issue can be fixed by deleting and then re-creating the printer in CUPS to
update the driver.
It's possible that Gutenprints 'cups-genppdupdates' could remedy the situation
as well, but I had no chance to verify that since I don't use Gutenprint.
Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/13734.
This will probably be mandatory soon, and is a step in the right
direction. Removes the deprecated meta.version, and move some meta
sections to the end of the file where I should have put them in
the first place.
Adding this package to environment.systemPackages stops the
"Add new printer" button in gnome-control-center from being grayed out
and stops it from printing:
(gnome-control-center:16664): printers-cc-panel-WARNING **: Your system does not have the cups-pk-helper's policy "org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.all-edit" installed. Please check your installation
But completing the printer setup requires some additional packaging
work. This is what happens when trying to _add_ a printer:
(gnome-control-center:18733): printers-cc-panel-WARNING **: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.fedoraproject.Config.Printing was not provided by any .service files
(gnome-control-center:18733): printers-cc-panel-WARNING **: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
`cups.desktop` that depends on some fixed version of `xdg-open` is not
particularly useful; it should use `xdg-open` from the environment
it's being run from.
As a side effect, one can now fiddle with `xdg_utils` package without
rebuilding pretty much every single one of graphical packages (they
all depend on `cups` through their graphical toolkits).
