OK, I did the downgrade again, without the -dev packages. There was no error message this time about "libscupsfilters". But there still is a sticky message on my screen's menu bar that goes like "An error occurred, please run Package Manager or apt-get in a terminal..." Then:"Error: BrokenCount>0".
Yes, I have a Samsung Unified Driver installed – since several years. That is, it has been in use well before the current resources problem surfaced. Meanwhile, the downgraded <cupsd> seems to be running pretty quietly. It's not even in the Top60 of the <top> listing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835957 Title: cupsd gobbles up resources To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1835957/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
