[15:23] <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
[15:24] <Tomin> it's ghostscript's bug so it might be that you don't need to have that printer
[16:21] <penguin42> ok, good to see you've nailed it down to ghostscript
[16:22] <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
[16:23] <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
[16:24] <Tomin> so there is some empty space at the bottom of the page
[16:24] <penguin42> ok, so maybe not just the margins
[16:25] <penguin42> Tomin: Now the problem is, is it ghostscript or is it Brother's drivers that don't like it
[16:26] <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 ?
[16:27] <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
[16:28] <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
[16:30] <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
[16:31] <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?
[16:32] <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
[16:33] <Tomin> ok, I can try that but not until friday/saturday
[16:34] <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?
[16:35] <penguin42> yes
[16:35] <Tomin> can I just apt-get source ghostscript=the_version_i_need or what?
[16:37] <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
[16:39]  * penguin42 returns - (my mixture isn't quite cool enough yet for the next step....)
[16:41] <penguin42> Tomin: It's not something silly like an A4/letter mix up?
[16:42] <Tomin> I don't think so, I think I checked that
[16:43] <Tomin> Is this correct way to fetch older sources from bzr: http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/udd-getting-the-source.html
[16:45] <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
[16:46] <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
[16:47] <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
[16:48] <Tomin> I've described it on the description and on comment #5, but I could add another comment about that
[16:49] <penguin42> no, that's ok
[16:51] <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
[16:53] <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
[22:18] <yecril71pl> Hello, I would like to ask for SRU of Bug #1391917 to 14.04 LTS.
[22:21] <yecril71pl> I have no idea what it means to Upload the fixed package to release-proposed with the patch in the bug report.
[22:21] <yecril71pl> There is no patch, it is an upgrade.
