| Tomin | has anyone noticed this bug? can you reproduce it? would anyone like to bisect it? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ghostscript/+bug/1479267 | 15:23 |
|---|---|---|
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1479267 in ghostscript (Ubuntu) "Brother MFC-L8650CDW cuts top of the page " [Undecided,New] | 15:23 |
| Tomin | it's ghostscript's bug so it might be that you don't need to have that printer | 15:24 |
| penguin42 | ok, good to see you've nailed it down to ghostscript | 16:21 |
| Tomin | yeah, downgrading ghostscript packages was all I needed to do | 16:22 |
| penguin42 | Tomin: How much of the page is missing, is it just a cm or two or a bigger chunk | 16:22 |
| Tomin | about 3 cm | 16:23 |
| Tomin | but those upgraded versios have security fixes | 16:23 |
| penguin42 | ok, and does it look like the whole thing is shifted up the page by 3cm or does it look like it's in the right place but just missing a chunk? | 16:23 |
| Tomin | it is shifted up | 16:23 |
| Tomin | so there is some empty space at the bottom of the page | 16:24 |
| penguin42 | ok, so maybe not just the margins | 16:24 |
| penguin42 | Tomin: Now the problem is, is it ghostscript or is it Brother's drivers that don't like it | 16:25 |
| Tomin | yeah | 16:26 |
| Tomin | it's too bad I can't really test this again until friday evening | 16:26 |
| Tomin | or at the weekned | 16:26 |
| Tomin | weekend* | 16:26 |
| penguin42 | so this is 9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10 works and .3 fails ? | 16:26 |
| penguin42 | both on 14.04 ? | 16:27 |
| Tomin | yes on 14.04 and yes the Installed version is the working one and the Candidate is the one that doesn't work | 16:27 |
| penguin42 | OK, so looking at the logs have you got a second Brother printer connected as well? | 16:28 |
| Tomin | I don't think it's connected but yes we used to have another Brother at the office | 16:28 |
| penguin42 | Tomin: OK; so there are two things I can suggest 1) Try removing the Brother drivers and just try and use one of the built in drivers; I see on my Trusty machine there's a driver for the Brother MFC8640 - maybe it works? | 16:30 |
| penguin42 | 2) The other way is to try and figure out which of the .1,.2,.3 broke it | 16:30 |
| Tomin | the MFC8640 doesn't work, at least it didn't work well when we tried it when we got the printer | 16:31 |
| Tomin | where I could get those versions? | 16:31 |
| Tomin | MFC8640 driver I mean ofc | 16:32 |
| penguin42 | ok, the other thing is that I see there is a .4 version out - http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty-updates/text/ghostscript | 16:32 |
| Tomin | ok, I can try that but not until friday/saturday | 16:33 |
| penguin42 | http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/g/ghostscript/ghostscript_9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10.4/changelog hmm none of the changes listed there seem to suggest a reason that's likely | 16:34 |
| Tomin | If I can't download binary versions of those old packages, could I download the source package and compile it myself? | 16:34 |
| penguin42 | yes | 16:35 |
| Tomin | can I just apt-get source ghostscript=the_version_i_need or what? | 16:35 |
| penguin42 | yes, or look in http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/ghostscript/ if that doesn't work; getting the ones in between can be a bit trickier; I think you can check them out of the bzr or git | 16:37 |
| penguin42 | if desperate - but it does seem odd, none of the things in that changelog seem obviously related | 16:37 |
| penguin42 | I've just got to disappear for a minute or 5 | 16:37 |
| Tomin | ok | 16:37 |
| * penguin42 returns - (my mixture isn't quite cool enough yet for the next step....) | 16:39 | |
| penguin42 | Tomin: It's not something silly like an A4/letter mix up? | 16:41 |
| Tomin | I don't think so, I think I checked that | 16:42 |
| Tomin | Is this correct way to fetch older sources from bzr: http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/udd-getting-the-source.html | 16:43 |
| penguin42 | I think that should work but it's a few years since I bzr'd | 16:45 |
| Tomin | ok, thanks | 16:45 |
| Tomin | I guess I have to do some saturday work and bisect this :D | 16:45 |
| penguin42 | Tomin: The other thing I'd try is booting a 15.04/15.10 and seeing if the same bug affects it | 16:46 |
| penguin42 | Tomin: Can you add what you told me about what the problem looks like (the missing 3cm, it moving up the page etc) to the bug report | 16:46 |
| Tomin | well I don't think I can install another OS to that computer, but maybe on a live cd if that allows me to install the drivers and stuff | 16:47 |
| Tomin | I think it's already there, just not in one place | 16:47 |
| penguin42 | yeh it was the livecd I was thinking, just to try it | 16:47 |
| Tomin | I've described it on the description and on comment #5, but I could add another comment about that | 16:48 |
| penguin42 | no, that's ok | 16:49 |
| Tomin | well I'll prepare a memory stick to boot later this week to test 15.04 (or 15.10) anyway and also try to bisect the package version that broke this | 16:51 |
| penguin42 | Tomin: I've marked it as triaged and added a regression-update tag | 16:53 |
| Tomin | ok, thanks | 16:53 |
| * penguin42 checks on his mixture again | 16:53 | |
