cups remote https administration hangs

[Jeff Strunk]

Binary package hint: cupsys

The cups remote https web interface hangs when I try to add or modify a printer after I click continue on the "Make/Manufacturer" page. I never see the "Model/Driver" page. If I connect locally without ssl,I can successfully add and modify printers.

The is on Ubuntu server 7.10 i386 with cupsys and dependencies at version 1.3.2-1ubuntu7.

I have attached results of strace and loglevel debug when I encountered this bug.

Here is the section of the log file after I clicked continue.

I can verify that the exact same thing happen to me on 8.04.
Using the "Printer configuration" remotely from an Ubuntu box works though.

[Florian Effenberger (floeff)]

This seems to be a bug in CUPS. A patch is available at http://www.cups.org/str.php?L2892
Any chance to get this backported for hardy? Would be great, as hardy is LTS and widely used on servers with XP clients.

[Thomas Jagoditsch (tja)]

stumbled over this today ;/
please fix this in hardy LTS asap.

[Vittorio Beggi (vbeggi)]

I had the same problem today.
Was bound to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 server because of no more repositories access.
The Cups server, when I try to administer from remote, asks user/password then hangs forever.

Lost a tremendous amount of time trying different configurations, reading manuals etc.etc. Many people seem to have the same problem but nobody seems to take seriously. (LTS = Long Time Sleep ?)

But do we really need CUPS to manage printer spooler? Plz give us back old bsd printers and leave cups to paranhoic fellows so fond of security as to impair themselves from administering their own printers (this is the most secured indeed).

[Andreas Vogel (networx)]

Still not solved in 8.04 as it seems. I tried to access the CUPS web front end via Ubuntu 9.04 (Firefox 3.0.11) and OS X 10.5.7 (Safari 4.01 and Firefox 3.0.11), but failed by entering the credentials, too. The user is in the lpadmin group, remote administration is allowed. Push ... ;-)

[Vittorio Beggi (vbeggi)]

It might be a malfunction related to some obscure aspects of firefox. I connected with "seamonkey" and could successfully administer the printer(s). Don't have any idea about the intrinsic nature of the bug. Just tried. (Plug and Pray?)

[comotion (comotion)]

I had the same problem - CUPS admin interface hangs in Modify Printer - and after debugging and stracing I came across this bug report. The fix seems to be to use a different browser, ie Chrome / Opera

[Phillip Susi (psusi)]

Hardy has reached end of life, and this package is not present in later releases. Closing all related bugs.

Adding default as_path for 2 byte asn neighbor

With 4 byte asn changes, by default as_path with 4 byte asn
was being added. It should be as_path with 2 byte asn if the
peer does not support 4 byte asn.

db_resync_done lock is used to indicate the amqp thread to wait for resync to
complete. In this case, when we call SchemaTransformer.destroy_instance()
due to Casandra connection failure, this lock remains locked blocking
destroy_instance. destroy_instance calls _vnc_subscribe_callback to drain the
amqp queue which waits infinitely for db_resync_done lock to be released.
This fix releases db_resync_done lock so that destroy_instance doesnt get
blocked.
