Re: [Bug 554172] Re: cups not starting at boot
I converted two systems that had this problem to an Ubuntu 10.04 derivative, Linux Mint 9, and both systems work perfectly. This could provide a clue to the source of the problem, and could provide an emergency solution to people like Don who are in a tough situation and must have a working Ubuntu-like system immediately. BTW, the main menu in Linux Mint would probably feel very familiar to Windows users. It's a very pleasant system (and of course steals shamelessly from all of the work done in creating Ubuntu). It does not come with Ubuntu One or the Ubuntu Music Store plugin pre-installed.

[Bug 554172] Re: cups not starting at boot
Removed the quiet splash options from the grub config and rebooted. Now THAT looks like a linux system. :-D boot.log is attached. There's nothing interesting there. cups is not mentioned in dmesg. But I did grep for cups in all of my system logs for the past couple of days and was surprised to find that cupsd did segfault last night, apparently while or after I printed some xmonad/dzen documentation to the local networked printer (to read on my night shift :-) In syslog.1 I find this entry: Apr 24 21:44:10 Medium kernel: [18688.981257] cupsd[4938]: segfault at 0 ip 0027c7a0 sp bfebbb88 error 4 in libc-2.11.1.so[209000+153000] Of course cups had been started manually on the command line on both the client and server computers :-( 21:44 would be about the moment that I shutdown my computer so I think that the segfault may have occurred during the shutdown process rather than during printing. I doubt that this segfault relates to this bug 554172 but it is the first error message I have seen regarding cups. The daemon has been silently failing to run at boot time. ** Attachment added: boot.log http://launchpadlibrarian.net/45382534/boot.log -- cups not starting at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 554172] Re: cups not starting at boot
The last time cups loaded at boot time I saw these messages in kern.log kern.log.1:Apr 21 06:52:06 Medium kernel: [7.215772] type=1505 audit(1271850726.855:13): operation=profile_load pid=934 name=/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf kern.log.1:Apr 21 06:52:06 Medium kernel: [7.216856] type=1505 audit(1271850726.859:14): operation=profile_load pid=934 name=/usr/sbin/cupsd Since Apr 21 there are no such messages in kern.log about loading cupsd or cups-pdf. All that changed in my configuration after Apr 21 was routine updates. According to what I see in kern.log cupsd was loading properly on Apr 19, 20, and 21, but not before or after. cupsd managed to run during the window of 3 days before another update spoiled it again.

[Bug 554172] Re: cups not starting at boot
Here's the requested term.log --- after several updates the problem went away on both of my machines and cups printing just worked, and then the updates of the last few days brought the problem back and I'm sad again :- After a reboot neither computer is running cups even though examining the init script setup shows that it should be running cups. This means for the moment that my wife generally can not print because she does not have sudo privilege and wouldn't know how to start a service anyway. ** Attachment added: term.log http://launchpadlibrarian.net/45234482/term.log -- cups not starting at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
