Public bug reported: Canon Maxify MB2320 printer (all-in-one) causes or systemd causes lines to be added to /var/tmp/ continuously. By constant, I mean whenever the printer, or scanner, or copier function. I reported a bug at the Canon Printer Community Forum for it's writing massively large files (starting cnij) and filling /var/tmp to the point where / was complaining of no space remaining. As these two problems may be linked I'm posting a little about the cnij files, too. Please bear with me.
http://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Office-Printers/Maxify-MB2320-and- driver/td-p/165313 The next problem occurs after I start a weekly removal of those cnij files. When the device (printer) was first installed there were but 3 or 4 files in /var/tmp, no including the cnij-s. That has now grown to 70+ lines. I append a few here, as they are somewhat similar. If you wish to see all 70, they are at https://paste.ubuntu.com/16968056/ Representative sample: mark@Lexington:/var/tmp$ ls canon_sgmp2_setting.ini kdecache-mark mkinitramfs-FW_mgeshg systemd-private-273505a4cf664ff0af6e81870ea6665a-colord.service-hk7T18 systemd-private-273505a4cf664ff0af6e81870ea6665a-rtkit-daemon.service-Lv8yQF systemd-private-273505a4cf664ff0af6e81870ea6665a-systemd-timesyncd.service-Fizgv4 systemd-private-29b03f52b21d493abf1e8ea22b6b7adc-colord.service-WLN1p1 systemd-private-29b03f52b21d493abf1e8ea22b6b7adc-rtkit-daemon.service-ghG257 systemd-private-29b03f52b21d493abf1e8ea22b6b7adc-systemd-timesyncd.service-BuNOet While trying to run Ubuntu's (badly named app) "Backup", I received the following error message: Backup Failed Giving up after 5 attempts. Error: g-io-error-quark: Error opening file: '/media/mark/80cb5313-35a0-432b-9250-4cc62d79a3c8/duplicity- inc.20160528T201042Z.to.20160603T203335Z.vol2.diff tar.gpg': Read-only file system (21) I have asked for help at AskUbuntu and the Ubuntu Forums. At AskU I was directed to report the bug here. Following the Launchpad reporting guidelines: Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Release: 16.04 mark@Lexington:/var/tmp$ apt-cache policy backups N: Unable to locate package backups I expected the backup to run as it has for years and years. Backup reports fail message. I am not aware of whether this is a security bug. I have left that box unchecked. There has been no response at Ubuntu Forums as yet. If there is one I will add the relevant information as it becomes available. ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: colord systemd -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589015 Title: Printer bug adds code into /var/tmp endlessly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1589015/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
