Description Gerd Roscher 2016-06-24 13:46:06 CEST
when i try to add a printer, the system is freezing. i've tried that several times and had always the same problem.

version is: 4.6.2-desktop-3.mga6 #1 SMP Thu Jun 23 09:57:42 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86 64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Comment 1 Thierry Vignaud 2016-06-24 16:32:28 CEST
Waht's your printer?
Can you attach (not paste) "journalctl -b" logs?
Run eg the following as root:
journalctl -b --since=2016-06-24 > /tmp/journal.txt
(if you had such a freeze to day)

You can further restrict the journal size.
If eg it's 16:30 and you add the freeze at 16h20, you can use:
journalctl -b --since="2016-06-24 16:19" > /tmp/journal.txt

Can you be more precise about the timing?
Around 20:00, there's only a time resync.
I notice nouveau warnings 11 minutes later, at 20:11:06

kernel: nouveau 0000:01:00.0: chrome[3134]: fail ttm_validate
kernel: nouveau 0000:01:00.0: chrome[3134]: validating bo list

Comment 10 Gerd Roscher 2016-07-02 22:38:35 CEST
Dear Thierry,

exactly it was 20:00:25 but the problem seems to me: if the system is frozen, there couldn't be an entry in systemctl. I also took a look to systemctl and didn't found "my time". Well, i can send you my laptop by post and you try that for yourself.

I can try one more thing: install chrony and see what happens then.

Cheers Gerd

There's

Jul 02 22:46:36 localhost.localdomain kernel: Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.6.3-desktop-1.mga6 root=/dev/sda5 ro nokmsboot splash quiet noiswmd resume=UUID=cfaa6e45-f7a8-4c59-99d8-9b9c01d16d18 vga=788

at the top of the file, so this log starts when the system was started after the crash.

"journalctl -b" only gives the output since the newest boot. Sorry if we confused you.

Could you please try to fetch the log again with, as root:

  journalctl -a --since="2016-07-02 22:44" --until="2016-07-03 22:46"
Comment 13 Marja Van Waes 2016-07-04 08:34:23 CEST
That's 24hrs of logs too much, please use:

journalctl -a --since="2016-07-02 22:44" --until="2016-07-02 22:46"

Thanks.

So there's 

Jul 02 22:44:24 localhost.localdomain cupsd[1482]: REQUEST localhost - - "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 273 Create-Printer-Subscriptions successful-ok

And that's it.

(But at least we now know it goes wrong after this)

@ Anyone reading this:

* If this bug is valid for you in cauldron, then please test whether updating your system-config-printer packages to version 1.5.7-5.mga6 fixes the problem and report back in this bug report.

* If you do not have this bug in cauldron, but you do run cauldron, then please update those packages, too, and report in bug 18367 whether they work as expected.

Comment 17 Marja Van Waes 2017-04-19 10:32:04 CEST
No reply, and Cauldron changed a lot since this bug was last confirmed to be valid (July 2016)

Closing.

Please reopen if this issue is still valid in current, fully updated Cauldron
