=== penguin421 is now known as penguin42 [15:23] 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] Ubuntu bug 1479267 in ghostscript (Ubuntu) "Brother MFC-L8650CDW cuts top of the page " [Undecided,New] [15:24] it's ghostscript's bug so it might be that you don't need to have that printer [16:21] ok, good to see you've nailed it down to ghostscript [16:22] yeah, downgrading ghostscript packages was all I needed to do [16:22] Tomin: How much of the page is missing, is it just a cm or two or a bigger chunk [16:23] about 3 cm [16:23] but those upgraded versios have security fixes [16:23] 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] it is shifted up [16:24] so there is some empty space at the bottom of the page [16:24] ok, so maybe not just the margins [16:25] Tomin: Now the problem is, is it ghostscript or is it Brother's drivers that don't like it [16:26] yeah [16:26] it's too bad I can't really test this again until friday evening [16:26] or at the weekned [16:26] weekend* [16:26] so this is 9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10 works and .3 fails ? [16:27] both on 14.04 ? [16:27] yes on 14.04 and yes the Installed version is the working one and the Candidate is the one that doesn't work [16:28] OK, so looking at the logs have you got a second Brother printer connected as well? [16:28] I don't think it's connected but yes we used to have another Brother at the office [16:30] 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] 2) The other way is to try and figure out which of the .1,.2,.3 broke it [16:31] the MFC8640 doesn't work, at least it didn't work well when we tried it when we got the printer [16:31] where I could get those versions? [16:32] MFC8640 driver I mean ofc [16:32] ok, the other thing is that I see there is a .4 version out - http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty-updates/text/ghostscript [16:33] ok, I can try that but not until friday/saturday [16:34] 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] If I can't download binary versions of those old packages, could I download the source package and compile it myself? [16:35] yes [16:35] can I just apt-get source ghostscript=the_version_i_need or what? [16:37] 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] if desperate - but it does seem odd, none of the things in that changelog seem obviously related [16:37] I've just got to disappear for a minute or 5 [16:37] ok [16:39] * penguin42 returns - (my mixture isn't quite cool enough yet for the next step....) [16:41] Tomin: It's not something silly like an A4/letter mix up? [16:42] I don't think so, I think I checked that [16:43] Is this correct way to fetch older sources from bzr: http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/udd-getting-the-source.html [16:45] I think that should work but it's a few years since I bzr'd [16:45] ok, thanks [16:45] I guess I have to do some saturday work and bisect this :D [16:46] Tomin: The other thing I'd try is booting a 15.04/15.10 and seeing if the same bug affects it [16:46] 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 [16:47] 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] I think it's already there, just not in one place [16:47] yeh it was the livecd I was thinking, just to try it [16:48] I've described it on the description and on comment #5, but I could add another comment about that [16:49] no, that's ok [16:51] 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 [16:53] Tomin: I've marked it as triaged and added a regression-update tag [16:53] ok, thanks [16:53] * penguin42 checks on his mixture again [22:18] Hello, I would like to ask for SRU of Bug #1391917 to 14.04 LTS.
