Printing form app to CUPS-pdf not working anymore

Matrica support says they are working on the Postbank topic. Apparently, the bank’s FinTs interface is currently a moving target due to ongoing IT changes.
Yust for info the old libcairo2 package is still here http://download.opensuse.org/history/20230324/tumbleweed/repo/oss/x86_64/libcairo2-1.17.6-1.3.x86_64.rpm

You think I can downgrade the package in YaST? Will try, very busy these days…

I would not recommend a downgrade, which may cause problems with other programs that are linked to the new libcairo2 version. But you could download the package to a directory and then extract it for example with

> cd mplex_workaround
> rpm2cpio libcairo2-1.17.6-1.3.x86_64.rpm|cpio -idmv

This will extract (no install or downgrade will be done) the lib files to mplex_workaround/usr/lib64. Then start moneyplex with LD_PRELOAD set to the libcairo2 in this directory. It’s a bit uncomfortable but avoids negative effects of a package downgrade.

Moneyplex is the only app I use with cups-pdf. Or is this cairo thing used for .pdf in general? :slight_smile:

It is a vector graphics lib used by many programs e.g. Firefox, LibreOffice, python3, vlc.

I use it with conky to draw indicator rings on my desktop with lua…

what are indicator rings?!?!

libcairo still broken for cups-pdf with moneyplex…

tried again some days ago, cups-pdf still not working

FYI there is a new Monyeplex prerelease L-24802 for Linux that finally solves the Postbank problem but still crashes when printing with tumbleweed. Up to now there has been no reaction from Matrica to my bug report.
