KDE4 apps freeze when selecting File - Print

Well, I've followed the Wiki directions and installed kdemod (KDE 4).  Currently, whenever I try to print by selecting File -> Print from within an application, the application just hangs (I never get a print dialog), and I have to kill it.  Cups seems to be set up properly through the web interface, and I can print test pages on both of my printers from there.  I'm on my second time installing Archlinux, because I could find absolutely no info online about this problem and thought I must have really borked something.
So, the second time around, I decided to keep a close eye on when the problem arose (installing only a couple programs at a time), since I didn't have the problem before installing additional software.  Each time I'd install a program, I'd reboot and then try printing from Konqueror.  Each time it would work, until after I installed truecrypt and yakuake, and then I began having the problem again.  I would suspect truecrypt rather than yakuake at the moment, but uninstalling both packages didn't fix the problem.  Furthermore, I can't remember if truecrypt brought down any dependencies
I seem to be the only person having this problem, if I can judge by the complete lack of info online about this (at least that I can find).

Okay, so when the application hangs while printing, no error messages are written to either the .xsession-errors or the cups log.  Opening the system monitor (CTL-ESC) I see no tasks taking up CPU or unusual amounts of RAM.  If I kill the frozen application, some lines are written to the .xsession-errors file, but I'm not sure if they are helpful or not.  Regardless, I have posted them below.
The application hangs immediately after selecting Print from the File menu.  After selecting Print, the file menu disappears, and a blank patch of grey is left in place of the menu--it never gets redrawn.  If I move any windows over other areas of the frozen application, those areas do not redraw either.
Here is what was written to my cups error log since booting my PC this morning.  The last item written to the log occurred two hours before I tried printing.

  • ALL CS6 Apps Freeze When SAVING file to External HD

    Ok Adobe, help me out here before I reconsider my longstanding glee with Master Suite CS4. I recently subscribed to the Creative Cloud, downloaded, installed and activated ALL applications. All applications have since been updated via the Adobe updater and no other updates show as available. Note: since first issue, this process has been repeated to ensure a complete and successful instal.
    All applications open and are fully functional, with a few speed issues in Photoshop and Illustrator noticed so far.
    Now, immediately upon installing CS6 via Creative Cloud, I can no longer SAVE any files, from any of the Adobe CS6 or CS4 apps to an external HD without the application freezing and completely crashing my system. If I click SAVE AS or work from any file on my local HD I don't have any issue, but I'm NOT going through life having to perform these multiple steps.
    Once the Creative Cloud app freezes, my entire system freezes and I need to hard-restart the system. Not good...
    Keep in mind, the issue appears only to happen when I'm working from a file located on any of the external HD's and trying to SAVE edits, etc. The first SAVE or SAVE AS seems to work without freeze.
    NOTE: I only have issues with Adobe products and only since I installed them from the Creative Cloud. I also see that thousands of others are experiencing the same issue, but no Adobe fix has been supplied/suggested. I have not needed any Mac updates since BEFORE I installed from Creative Cloud and CS4 was working flawlessly up to the minute I subscribed to Creative Cloud.
    My system Info:
    - Mac OSX 10.7.4 (up to date and running flawlessly)
    - Apple Time Capsule setup as external HD (not used for Time Machine)
    - LaCie BigDisk external HD
    - All fonts have been validated and duplicate/broken fonts removed, cache cleaned, etc.
    - Open CL in Photoshop disabled with no positive results.
    - Auto save is OFF on system
    Questions:
    1. Why did Creative Cloud install completely new CS6 apps and not upgrade to overwrite the existing CS4 apps?
    2. How do we upgrade from CS4 to Creative Cloud without having two installs; previous and new versions of apps?
    3. What is the fix?
    4. Loyalty and enthusiasm are waning - please reply ASAP.
    Long time Adobe customer - Thanks, AZH

    No Adobe upgrade, except Acrobat will ever replace the old install. This has nothing to do with Creative Cloud.

  • Apps freeze when selecting a file

    Freezing is not quite correct but I experienced in a few apps (CB and BeBuzz) the following behaviour :
    When I select a file from the device / SD card (in CB to attach a pic or in BeBuzz to select a notification sound), the app get stuck in the file selection. I cannot select a file, I cannot switch the folder nor can I close the file selection screen.
    When I reboot the device everything is fine... for a short time.
    Has anybody experienced this as well?
    I'm running 10.2.1.2102

    Do you get the same freeze or pause if the file is selected whether from the Device memory or the SD Media card?

  • Illustrator CS 5.1 freezing when selecting File Open

    Hi - Recently Illustrator CS 5.1 will not let me use File >> Open to open a document. It immediately hangs and I get the beach ball and have to force quit (on a Mac) and in the force quit menu the program name will turn to red and say not responding. I can open new docs as well as double click and drag files over the AI icon with no issue. Saving seems to be fine as well. Any ideas as to what would be causing this? I've checked all fonts and everything gets a clean bill of health there. Plus no new fonts have been installed.
    Thanks for any input!

  • Programs go not responding when clicking File - Print

    When clicking File -> Print on Word, Adobe PDF reader and Internet Explorer (but works fine in Excel) the program goes not responding, eventually the print window loads, but goes very very slow from there on, regularly hanging. On Word and IE specifically,
    a small box flashes up with a message and goes before I get a chance to read it.
    I have tried repairing Office, virus scans, CCleaner, driver updates and reinstalls for printers, disabled no windows services. Nearly everything short of reinstalling windows.
    Anyone got any ideas. This user has had a large number of problems in the past with Office.

    I sorted the issue, really strange, but all i needed to do was select a default printer from the list of network printers as one wasnt selected already. Very very strange

  • Installed an Windows 8.1 update yesterday; Now coputer freezes when trying to print from Adobe Reader.  Can print from MS word

    Installed a Windows 8.1 update yesterday; now computer freezes when trying to print from Adobe Reader XI.  Still can print a word document from MS Word.

    Was already running latest version 11.0.10.  Tried the re-load fix; tried uninstalling and installing a new one from the web.  Problem still exists -- cannot print any document from Adobe Reader XI.  Computer freezes when the print file is being prepared at 0%.

  • Issue when choosing 'File Print' in Pro v7.0 (XP SP3)

    Hi,
    I have an issue with a machine that either won't produce the printer dialog box at all or does very slowly (2 to 3 minute pause) The program opens PDF's fine and all other functions appear to be fine. The problem occurs when hitting File > Print.
    I don't know if it is a co-incidence but the machine in question has recently had Windows XP service pack 3 installed on it and these problems appeared to begin after this time.
    This happens for any log in on the machine, and so far I have tried updating an repairing the product and fully re-installing to no avail.
    Has anyone seen this before?
    Thanks

    I haven't had any problems with SP3 and AA7. Check to be sure that the printer is still available (Adobe PDF printer). That is required for all PDF conversions (PDF Maker included).

  • InDesign CC freezes when packaging files.

    InDesign CC freezes when packaging files. Just spinning beachball. Need to Force Quit. Tried resetting Prefs at startup (holding down keys), but no change. Looking for path to  Default and Data files, but not finding them in Library. (D'oh!) Downloaded most recent CC versionlast night. Any ideas or should I try CC (2014)

    Hi Pam,
    I would certainly give CC2014 a try.
    Other than that, make sure there’s no illegal characters like slashes in the file or folder names and that the path is not too long.

  • The "find my iphone" app freeze when instaling

    The app freeze when installing and now i cannot delete it

    "Losing your iPhone feels lousy. Thankfully, iCloud can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new Find My iPhone features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device.

  • When i try to print a photo: select file print a box comes up stating ' no available themes' ' there were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed this feature will be unavailable. ? My iPhoto and hp printer software is up to date.

    When i try to print a photo: select photo>file>print a box comes up stating 'no available themes' ' There were no themes located. Until at least 1 theme has been installed this feature will be unavailable'. Mac OS X/10.8.3, iPhoto 9.4.3, HP printer driver up to date. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    YOu need to reinstall iPhoto.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Bridge CC - 64 bit freezes when selecting a video file icon in content view

    On a 64-bit PC (12 core, 64 GIG RAM) with solid state hard drive and Nvidia Quadra 4000 video card with latest driver.  I have purged cache, I have reset preferences, I have changed shortcut to Run As Administrator.  I've tried to find a way to run in 32-bit mode but can't find a way to do it.  I've also looked to see how I can install a 32-bit version with Adobe Cloud but can't find anything.  Any ideas how to stop Bridge CC 64-bit from continually freezing upon selecting a video file icon?

    Hi Yammer,
    Thanks for the response.  From what I can tell it is all video file types.  The ones I most consistently have are .wmv, .mov, .mp4.  I have also changed the file associations from the default video players to VLC to see if it was a Quicktime or Windows Media Player issue and that didn't solve it.

  • CS5 crashes when I select "file print" -12.0.0 doesn't

    Open photoshop, file>new, file>print (or print one copy), and the program crashes to desktop. This started happening when I upgraded to 12.0.1, and only when I reverted to 12.0.0 the problem went away. Now I upgraded to 12.0.2 and the problem is back.
    Windows 7 64bit, Canon LBP5050n
    I tried deleting the preferences, no go. Tried reinstalling the printer driver, no go. The only solution seems to be to continue working in 12.0.0

    Check carefully everywhere you can to see whether you have any remnants of printer drivers defined that have been removed physically or via software.
    How are you reverting back to 12.0.0 after having installed the updates?  Just curious.

  • Apps crash when selecting HP Business Inkjet 2600 in print dialog box

    Hope someone can help. With an open PDF document I select the print dialog box. If I select the HP Business Inkjet 2600 the application crashes (tried Preview and Adobe Acrobat). I can select other printers fine.
    What I have tried so far:
    Logged into root account and the issue does not occur, indicating a permissions issue.
    I have tried repairing permissions using disk utility with no success.
    I have tried creating a new admin account and the same fault occurs in that account.
    I have reset the printing system and re-added the printer - no success.
    The system is a PowerMac G5 2GHz, 768 MB RAM, 10.4.8
    Please help : )
    PowerMac G5 2GHz, 768 MB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   HP Business Inkjet 2600

    Don't worry, solved it. Tested the printer using my powerbook G4 running 10.4.8. It worked fine so I copied the HP folder from /Library/Printers from the PB to the PM G5, repaired permissions using disk utility, rebooted and the G5 can now print fine to the HP.

  • Office 2004 crashes in Leopard when using File print option.

    Office 2004 apps all crash when I try to print using File>print but they will print if I just use the printer icon. Any ideas?? I have updated Office to 11.3.9 and uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. BTW, the printer is an HP Laserjet All-in-one model 3330. Everything else I've tried seems to print ok -- Safari, Adobe, Pages.
    I would like to upgrade three other machines but I'm waiting until I get this print problem resolved.
    Thanks.

    Well I feel sort of stupid, I was using the HP driver. Switching to either of the drivers supplied with Leopard fixed this problem. Thanks.
