I had the problem after installing NVIDIA proprietary driver. Deinstalling this driver solved the problem. May be it is not a special cups problem: As already mentioned above virtual consoles did not work while NVIDIA proprietary driver was installed. This happend on a 64bit machine with installed 32bit linux.
I had the problem with installed 64bit linux and NVIDIA proprietary driver too. I don't know if deinstalling NVIDIA proprietary driver could be a solution for this - I tried reinstalling linux with 32 bit. -- 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
