When I reinstall CUPS /etc/cups/cupsd.conf is *not* updated.
Details follow.
Cups was behaving badly: the web interface could not be used. The
browser would quickly say no process was listening on localhost:631
I compared cupsd.conf to the same file on another working system and
noticed the following differences
1. *Many* pairs of lines were missing. The first line of each pair
was blank; the second a comment. Presumably this has no effect.
2. The initial block comment was missing. Again no effect.
3. One very influential change
Listen localhost:631
was replaced by a second copy of
Listen /run/cups/cups.sock
When I manually put back localhost:631
the cups web interface again behaved normally.
4. The following block was *added* at the end
JobPrivateAccess default
JobPrivateValues default
MaxLogSize 2000000
SubscriptionPrivateAccess default
SubscriptionPrivateValues default
The first, second, fourth, and fifth generated "Unknown directive"
messages in /var/log/cups/error.log
So I reinstalled cups but /etc/cups/cupd.conf was not changed and still
has its old date and contents. The merge looks clean (output below)
I am wondering if there is something wrong with my setup.
I have the userpriv feature enabled.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
allan
