Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cups
I am running an updated version of Karmic on a Dell Dimension 2300. Result of
lsb_release -rd:
Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release: 9.10
Version of cups package that is installed:
cups:
Installed: 1.4.1-2
Candidate: 1.4.1-2
Version table:
*** 1.4.1-2 0
500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
When I tried to add a printer I noticed that the cups deamon was not running.
When trying to start it (sudo /etc/init.d/cups start) I get the following
response:
* Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd
cupsd: Child exited on signal 15!
Searching the forums I learned that when this happened in earlier releases (see
for example on UF this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1009140) that this was caused by an
empty /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file.
However, in my case the conf file is present and not empty. Find below the
content of the cupsd.conf file:
/dev/sda1 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0
none /proc proc rw 0 0
none /sys sysfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
udev /dev tmpfs rw,mode=0755 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
none /var/run tmpfs rw,nosuid,mode=0755 0 0
none /var/lock tmpfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
none /lib/init/rw tmpfs rw,nosuid,mode=0755 0 0
binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
Please inform me if more information is required.
