cupsd has ceased starting at boot time. It is checked off in System->Administration->BootUp Manager, and it runs fine from the command line. But not at boot.This is not the problem reported here.I suspect there are a couple more processes that have stopped running, but their absence hasn't been obvious yet.FWIW, I'm running 10.04 with the 2.6.35-22 kernel.
View 2 Repliescups does not start with the server. When I try to start from the terminal I get the error message cupsd: Unable to read configuration file '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' - exiting! cupsd: Child exited with status 1!
The log files show nothing. cupsd.conf exists. It is user - root and group - root with permissions set at 0644. My interpretation of this is that the program is not launching from either boot or terminal for a fundamental reason. I do not quite see what that reason is ..
I have installed ubuntu 10.04 lts -- I was wondering why it didn't start cupsd or something on boot?
I have installed the same ubuntu on another unit (same specs) with no problem on printing.... but this one (I'm swearing a lot now!) because it doesn't work... Been at this for 3 days in a span of one month -- and I started to think that this computer is hard headed GR!!
I'd like to bash it -- sorry but I'm really really annoyed -- to put it softly.
I'd like to know why it's not working as smoothly --
Currently I need to $sudo cupsd to make printing work every time I power on this computer.

I've got two LiveCDs (KDE & Gnome), both of them hang during boot at cupsd. Both CDs work just fine on other computer I have. Knoppix 6.0 boots just fine on problem computer.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUsing Debian Lenny.I am new to printing with Linux and would like some help with CUPS. I have CUPS set up to work with my printer.I read through the documentation, but still have some problems.
1. How should I configure cupsd.conf for security?
Quote:
Portwalling
* By default, cups will listen on every interface. Unless you want to offer your printer to the world, you must block this.Although you can firewall this (and that is a good idea anyway),you can also not have cups listen on your Internet connection.This also prevents any possibility of a root exploit from the Internet. Of course, you still have internal crackers to worry about...
* In cups.conf, comment out the lines:
Port 80
Port 631
* Replace them with:
Listen 127.0.0.1:631

How do I create a symbolic link between programs?When I opened Xpp it said Printer:destination not available.
4. Can I adjust the text size on text, pdf or html files with Cups or do I need another program for this?
Today I decided to install XDM instead of GDM. During installation I was asked which display system should Ubuntu use. I chose GDM - that was my mistake. Then I ran "dpkg-reconfigure gdm" and chose XDM. After restart my system was unable to load - progress bar was running and running and running. I pressed ctrl-alt-backspace and saw "starting x-display-manager". That's all, after that nothing happened. After that I renamed /etc/init/gdm.conf to gdm.conf.DISABLED and tried to load Ubuntu. It started with some big, old-stylish login screen and after that GDM was loaded again. "sudo xdm" seems to be working as nothing appears after that command.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble starting SKIM in KUbuntu 10.10 and thus unable to type Chiense characters.
I have followed the instructions listed here [url]
But when I try to start SKIM through K Menu -> Utilities -> SKIM, it fails. I have no idea how to proceed from here.
I've also read this thread [url] and I'm stuck again at the part 'start SKIM'.
I can start SCIM (K Menu -> Settings -> SCIM), but it doesn't seem to have any effect when I invoke the trigger.
And so does the iBus Keyboard Input Methods application (K Menu -> Settings -> Key Board Input Methods) that I am able to start but have no effect too.
Under Settings, there is also another application called Input Method Switcher (K Menu -> Settings -> Input Method Switcher) which fail to start too.
So what can I do to be able to type in Chinese under KUbuntu? I remember setting it up in Ubuntu 9.04 is really easy.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I boot up, right before the login screen appears, everything freezes, and I have no choice but to turn the computer off manually.
The first time it happened, I had just downloaded a HUGE update (hadn't been online with ubuntu in a long time), and the computer was probably installing the updates when it crashed, and then, the problem I described above.
I tried to boot up in recovery mode, but at some point the computer couldn't come further. I don't think it crashed, I think it was working, but nothing happened. At the time it got stuck the last command line read: [ 7.451509] udev[514]: starting version 163

I downloaded v9.1 and chose to install it within Windows (XP). It seemed to install OK, but when the installation was complete and the machine rebooted, I chose Ubuntu on the boot screen, but all I got was the following message "GNU GRUB v1.97 beta4 - minimal BASH-like editing is supported ... etc" and an input line " sh-grub> " What's happening, and how do I get by this to run Ubuntu? This is my first attempt with Linux, and I can honestly say, I am not too impressed. Now I have a menu on booting asking if I want XP or Ubuntu. Ubuntu wont boot, so, how can I repair or how can I get rid of this boot menu to return my computer to 'as it was' before

I just downloaded and burned Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit to install as a dual boot on my Dell Optiplex GX270 with WinXP and 256mb RAM. I boot into the CD and I select install now, and then an error message pops up saying it failed to start the installation, and that it is going to start a graphical interface so you can investigate the problem and try again. I really would like to install Ubuntu on my desktop because its much faster than Windows XP and I can't use wubi because of the 256mb ram.
