Ok, I believe I have solved this problem (at least in Jaunty as I haven't tried in other versions).
1. run "sudo nano /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd" 2. Add "capability dac_read_search," (no quotes and don't forget the comma at the end) NOTE: It MUST be in the /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf section at the end. (I added it below "capability setuid,") 3. Save file and delete any backup files created if you used a different editor (or move to some other directory). 4. run "sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor stop" (no quotes) 5. run "/etc/init.d/apparmor start" (no quotes) This worked for me. After I found that aa-complain worked I looked at dmesg and found that apparmor was complaining about dac_read_search. I tried adding that capability in other places but it only worked as decribed above. I was sure to reset using aa-enforce to verify. I'm pretty sure this is the problem. Of course you will still have to create ~/PDF. Hopefully this will resove your problem! -- cups-pdf fails bad status reported and no pdf created https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295536 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
