I reported here some time ago random failures to complete starting of my Ubuntu 10.04 system. Power off and power on usually results in what looks like a normal start. Three time now Cups has failed to start on boot. I have found an interesting discussion of the Cups problem. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/554172. Of particular interest is comment #73 and subsequent. It seems very likely that both intermittent problems I have observed (and perhaps some I have not observed!) are of the same origin.
One question I have is, where to go from here? The cups issue was first mentioned in April; the last comment was hours ago. It has been marked "Critical" for one month. Are there other places to look for a fix? May I assume that the problem is deep down in the system, and an update will be forthcoming "real soon now"? I note a bunch of workarounds reported, but not understanding them makes me concerned that they may break something worse. -Denis _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
