Re: #32 Cups and other processes expect to be able to assign their configured ports, But rpcbind / portmap etc. assign ports randomly. e.g.: http://www.linuxproblem.org/art_13.html
This bug has just hit me, with a deadline to print and no way to reboot the computer without losing work. It took a lot of debugging before I stumbled upon the article above, and I've been using linux since it came on two floppies. The problem has been noted in redhat, suse, even BSD. I propose a solution: rpcbind should NOT assign random ports, it should assign random *unallocated* ports (i.e. it should make a list of things listed in /etc/services and avoid those ports.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304393 Title: cups: 127.0.0.1:631 - Address already in use.
