Menno, it's not just CUPS. The server I met this problem with does not even have CUPS installed.
If runlevel 2 is not entered then it is *all* services that are started by rc scripts that fail. That is almost everything. The only things that are running are udev, rsyslog and sshd. You don't even get a login getty on the console. If sshd did not start for any reason, then the machine would appear completely dead and you would have to boot from a rescue CD (or similar). That's a bit difficult when the server is in a data centre in a different city. -- CUPS and other system services 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
