SRU Team: debdiff is attached. ** Description changed: for some reason cups-browsed seems to be crashing or such, since dmesg is filled with this: [ 415.118360] init: cups-browsed main process (4603) terminated with status 1 [ 415.118431] init: cups-browsed main process ended, respawning [ 415.143189] init: cups-browsed main process (4608) terminated with status 1 [ 415.143293] init: cups-browsed main process ended, respawning [ 440.099075] init: cups-browsed main process (4610) terminated with status 1 [ 440.099151] init: cups-browsed main process ended, respawning [ 440.122735] init: cups-browsed main process (4613) terminated with status 1 [ 440.122843] init: cups-browsed main process ended, respawning [ 465.080779] init: cups-browsed main process (4615) terminated with status 1 [ 465.080880] init: cups-browsed main process ended, respawning [ 465.104684] init: cups-browsed main process (4631) terminated with status 1 [ 465.104762] init: cups-browsed main process ended, respawning on current raring + + [IMPACT] + + The bog does not actually lead to a loss of functionality, as if cups- + browsed does not keep running (and gets restarted by Upstart) it has + actually nothing to do, either because avahi-daemon is not running and + so Bonjour broadcasts of other machines cannot get browsed or by bogus + configuration of cups-browsed, turning off all its functionality. The + only problem are annoying repeated log file entries caused by the + respawning. + + [TESTCASE] + + Stop avahi-daemon and cups-browsed: + + sudo stop cups-browsed + sudo stop avahi-daemon + + Now start only cups-browsed + + sudo start cups-browsed + + Observe the process number of cups-browsed repeatedly running: + + ps auxwww | grep cups-browsed + + Every 30 sec (every minute?) the process number changes, meaning that + cups-browsed got restarted. + + With the proposed package cups-browsed gets only restarted three times. + If there are three failures in 4 minutesm, upstart gives up on cups- + browsed, avoiding the clutter in the log files. + + [Regression Potential] + + Practically none. In nearly every user configuration avahi-daemon is + correctly running and so cups-browsed starts up correctly. For the few + users not having avahi-daemon running there are also no functional + changes. No code changes in the proposed package. + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: cups-browsed 1.0.28-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-0.2-generic 3.8.0-rc3 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-0-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.8-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Jan 12 01:22:40 2013 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2011-09-12 (487 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Beta amd64 (20110901) Lpstat: device for mankeli: socket://192.168.1.15:9100 MachineType: LENOVO 4170CTO MarkForUpload: True Papersize: a4 PpdFiles: mankeli: Samsung ML-2851ND Foomatic/Postscript (recommended) ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-0-generic root=UUID=d855f499-6e26-4f5c-89df-81bcf94082bd ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: cups-filters UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 09/13/2012 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 8CET55WW (1.35 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 4170CTO dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Available dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr8CET55WW(1.35):bd09/13/2012:svnLENOVO:pn4170CTO:pvrThinkPadT420s:rvnLENOVO:rn4170CTO:rvrNotAvailable:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 4170CTO dmi.product.version: ThinkPad T420s dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO ** Attachment added: "cups-filters_1.0.34-0ubuntu1_1.0.34-0ubuntu1.1.dsc" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-filters/+bug/1098756/+attachment/3660282/+files/cups-filters_1.0.34-0ubuntu1_1.0.34-0ubuntu1.1.dsc -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098756 Title: cups-browsed keeps respawning To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/1098756/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
