Public bug reported: I only got this bug on this type of computer:

And from system start, to the udevtrigger stopping, there is a delay of 4-5 minutes, where udev tries to configure it, until it fails. So cups only starts after about 5 minutes of uptime. root@pat-228690:~# head /etc/init/cups.conf # cups - CUPS Printing spooler and server description "CUPS printing spooler/server" author "Michael Sweet <msw...@apple.com>" start on (filesystem and (started dbus or runlevel [2345]) and stopped udevtrigger) stop on runlevel [016] I also tried on Xubuntu 11.10, with the same results, only different messages: Dec 14 10:36:25 ubuntu udevd[2393]: timeout: killing '/sbin/modprobe -bv pci:v000010ECd0000816Csv00001B0Asd000000E5bc0Csc07i01' [2407] Dec 14 10:36:28 udevd[2393]: last message repeated 2 times Dec 14 10:36:27 ubuntu dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 Dec 14 10:36:28 ubuntu udevd[2393]: timeout: killing '/sbin/modprobe -bv pci:v000010ECd0000816Csv00001B0Asd000000E5bc0Csc07i01' [2407] Dec 14 10:36:35 udevd[2393]: last message repeated 6 times Dec 14 10:36:35 ubuntu dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 Dec 14 10:36:35 ubuntu udevd[2393]: timeout: killing '/sbin/modprobe -bv pci:v000010ECd0000816Csv00001B0Asd000000E5bc0Csc07i01' [2407] Dec 14 10:36:42 udevd[2393]: last message repeated 6 times Dec 14 10:36:42 ubuntu dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 21 Dec 14 10:36:42 ubuntu udevd[2393]: timeout: killing '/sbin/modprobe -bv pci:v000010ECd0000816Csv00001B0Asd000000E5bc0Csc07i01' [2407] Dec 14 10:36:45 udevd[2393]: last message repeated 3 times Dec 14 10:36:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 144.644587] init: udevtrigger post-stop process (2325) terminated with status 1 Dec 14 10:36:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 144.680815] lp: driver loaded but no devices found Dec 14 10:36:45 ubuntu udev-configure-printer: add /module/lp Dec 14 10:36:45 ubuntu udev-configure-printer: Failed to get parent Dec 14 10:36:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 144.694392] ppdev: user-space parallel port driver Dec 14 10:36:46 ubuntu udev-configure-printer: add /module/lp Dec 14 10:36:46 ubuntu udev-configure-printer: Failed to get parent Dec 14 10:36:46 ubuntu udevd[2393]: timeout: killing '/sbin/modprobe -bv pci:v000010ECd0000816Csv00001B0Asd000000E5bc0Csc07i01' [2407] A workaround to the delayed cups start, is to modify the file "/etc/init/cups.conf" Modify these lines: >From this: start on (filesystem and (started dbus or runlevel [2345]) and stopped udevtrigger) stop on runlevel [016] To this: start on (filesystem and (started dbus or runlevel [2345])) # and stopped udevtrigger) stop on runlevel [016] ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: udev 162-2.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-31.63-generic-pae 2.6.35.13 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-31-generic-pae i686 Architecture: i386 CurrentDmesg: [ 11.760970] EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted.
