I use Asaph, a lead-sheet creation program for musicians, and I discovered that since upgrading to Gutsy, printing doesn’t work. Apparently this is a common problem, detailed in this bug on Launchpad.

The (albeit ugly) workaround: in Software Sources, add deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty main as a “Third Party Source.” Then downgrade to cupsys version 1.2.8-0ubuntu8.

Here’s the simple process for installing Koine Greek input method support for Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon:

1. Make sure you have scim installed
2. Add this repository to your apt sources: deb http://packages.sil.org/ubuntu gutsy main
3. sudo aptitude update
4. sudo aptitude install scim-kmfl-imengine kmflcomp
5. Download scim-greek-koine.tar.gz, which contains a KMFL engine file I got from somewhere else that I have modified to work.
6. Extract the tarfile and compile the kmfl file by running kmflcomp GrkPolyComp.KMN
7. Run scim-setup, click on the new “KMFL” option, click install, browse to the GrkPolyComp.kmfl file you just compiled.

It was a twisty road to get to this point, so if it doesn’t work for you, post in the comments and I’ll try to help you work it out.
