I have no idea of what make it stop. NB: I have seen problems related to apparmor, this machine has no apparmor package. [Impact] If you want to use the CUPS web interface in Xenial and therefore set "WebInterface Yes" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, CUPS could auto-shutdown when it is idle and then an attempt to access http://localhost:631/ via a web browser fails. People get confused as other access to CUPS [Testcase] Take a CUPS setup on Xenial with no shared print queues and CUPS only listening on the domain socket. Activate the web interface via cupsctl WebInterface=Yes Now you are able to access the web interface via http://localhost:631/. Wait for some minutes without accessing CUPS until the CUPS daemon shuts down automatically. Try to open the web interface again and it will not work. With the fixed CUPS package CUPS will not auto-shutdown when the web interface is activated. [Regression Potential] Low, as we are removing a simple distro patch to get back to the original, upstream behavior.
