Bug 209137 got more information too.

This could be an OpenSuse issue (4 reports for OpenSuSe)

Good, Now I know how you reference duplicate bug reports that contain additional information. I always worry when I see a bug marked as a duplicate that somehow the attachments I have submitted will be lost and never looked at. Now I know "got more information too."

Hopefully the python debug files I submitted will help. If you need those as test cases from other users, then make sure they know they will need to change the permissions on /usr/share/kde4/apps/printer-applet/ to make it writable by the user unless running:

python -v -d /usr/bin/printer-applet

as root. (sudo may work)

Same here after update today (4.10.09).
printer-applet crashes reproduceable on login/KDE-session-start.

Created attachment 37379 [details]
crash fix

This patch fixes the problem for me - apparently the crash is caused by QTimer(self) being called in a constructor, although I do not know why.

Ok to commit?

After updating file /usr/share/kde4/apps/printer-applet/printer-applet.py
with (http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=37379)
PC boots without error message.

OK!

H. Buschert

Same here. :-)
Patch from comment #9 did it.

Hi Dario, I've just try the patch.
Work here also ... related to #210299

Thanks, now the maintainer should look at it..

From bug 210196 comment 2:
I installed a snapshot of the upcoming sip 4.9.1 and the crashes are fixed. It
fixes bug 209095 too by the way.

- Could anyone check this too ? Regards

*** Bug 211374 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I can confirm this is caused by sip, in Kubuntu we updated to  4.9.1-snapshot-20091015 which fixes it.

*** Bug 211428 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I've e-mailed kde-packagers suggesting they update to sip 4.9+snapshot and pointing them at the patch in Comment No 9 as an alternative.  Thanks to Dario for handling this bug in his usual excellent way.

after update to kde4-printer-applet-4.3.2-1.5 from opensuse 11.1 repositorie 4.2 fix this bug for me.
thanks

As Bug 230507 might be related to this bug, 
and could still be observed in version 4:4.3.4-2, it might be wise to re-open this bug?

@ ralfgesellensetter   : what is your "sip" package version ? it should work with 4.9.1+ (comment 25)

*** Bug 235025 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Okay, I'll try, thanks. This is how I applied the patch from #9:

Save patch file as /tmp/patch

Become root in a shell (su -)

# cd /usr/share/kde4/apps/printer-applet/

(This path was found by "locate printer-applet.py" - you don't need sources or compilers - the applet is a plain ascii coded python script)

#  patch -p0 </tmp/patch

Done. 

Then I run printer-applet from a user shell (well, we'll see at next login, but I am quite positive that this patch works out).

When will this patch go into Debian sid?

@Dario (#35): Ah, thanks. I don't know what sip package is needed (Debian sid), I didn't find installed packages named like this:

$ dpkg -l sip*
No packages found matching sip*.

$ dpkg -l libsip*
No packages found matching libsip*.

$ apt-cache search sip |grep sip |grep -v SIP
pidgin-sipe - Pidgin protocol plugin to connect to MS Office Communicator
python-socksipy - Python SOCKS client module
python-sip-dbg - Python/C++ bindings generator runtime library (debug extension)
python-sip-dev - Python/C++ bindings generator development files
python-sip4-dbg - Python/C++ bindings generator runtime library (debug, transitional package)

python-sip4 - Python/C++ bindings generator runtime library (transitional package)
python-sip - Python/C++ bindings generator runtime library
sip4 - Python/C++ bindings generator (transitional package)
sipcalc - Advanced console-based ip subnet calculator

Okay:

$ dpkg -l python-sip*

ii  python-sip4-dbg 4.9-1           Python/C++ bindings generator runtime library

So, 4.9.1 is there.
