My Lovely Horse

r3dux | August 25, 2009

Been watching a bit of Father Ted recently with the good lady, and it was the Eurovision Song Contest episode a couple of nights back.

I’ve woken up with this song going through my head the last two three days in a row…. Suuuuuuuuuuuu-mmeerrrrrrrrrrrr! :)

How To: Fix CUPS PDF Printing in Linux

r3dux |

CUPS, the Common Unix Printing System, is b0rked in the standard Jaunty 9.04 release. Which is less than ideal when you want to print directly to PDF.

You can use “Print to File” and change from PostScript to PDF, and this will work, but I just wanted to use the PDF virtual printer, so did a bit of research and fixed it. Turns out cups is fine, but the AppArmour profile for cupsd was busted, so all we need to do is to tell AppArmour to just moan about cups-pdf instead of shutting it down due to the wonky profile.

From the console enter the following.

r3dux@r3dux-laptop:~$ sudo aa-complain
Please enter the program to switch to complain mode: cupsd
Setting /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd to complain mode.
 
r3dux@r3dux-laptop:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
* Restarting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd
[ OK ]

FiXX0r3d. Or smth.

P.S. You can also fix the problem by disabling the AppArmour profile instead of putting the profile for cupsd to complain mode, full details given at source page above.

Shadow Complex

Hmm… Could well be tempted to grab the demo of this… but when will I have time to play it once Colin McRae Dirt 2 comes out?! =D

Update: Seems like there’s a bit of a Gay Rights furor about this one, as it’s set in a universe created by pro-actively anti gay-rights novelist Orson Scott Card, so each copy sold is money in his pocket. Read further details. Make up your own mind. Personally I think it’s a great shame that all the hard work of the dev team has been tainted by the views held by one person distantly related to the project.
