[Touch-packages] [Bug 1628314] Re: Cups trouble shooter asked me to run a command that doesn't work
ok - I tried the command (su -c 'journalctl -u cups.service --since="None" --until="2016-09-27 18:17:05"' > troubleshoot-logs.txt) on my current system (Ubuntu 18.04.1). I think I ran into the same problem. The "su" command doesn't tell me who's password it's asking for - turns out it's the superuser password. On my systems there is no superuser password so that command (su) is doomed to fail regardless. Cups needs to be updated at least for Ubuntu. Typically Ubuntu configures the initial user in the sudoers file so someone at least can become the super user. The command to do that is "sudo". Also becoming the super user doesn't seem to be necessary. I executed "journalctl -u cups.service" and it worked fine. Lastly journalctl couldn't parse "None" or "none" as a time indicator. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1628314 Title: Cups trouble shooter asked me to run a command that doesn't work Status in cups package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The Cups trouble shooter claimed it couldn't find log files saying it was possible the it wasn't running as an administrator (which was correct).

If you are, could you let us know, and in the current version, run the following (only once): apport-collect BUGNUMBER and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
