If you start cupsd from the command line and it reproducably crashes (or it at least crashes often enough so that you can easily get it to crash), please do the following:
Run ulimit -c unlimited Then check whether there is no file named "core" in the current directory. If so, delete or rename the file or change to another directory. Then start cupsd. If it crashes, you should get a file named "core" in the current directory. Attach the file to this bug report and also run gdb -c core /usr/sbin/cupsd and on the gdb prompt enter the command bt and after that quit. Post all the screen out put of your gdb session here. ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1706052 Title: cupsd crashes with SIGSEGV on ubuntu 17.04 on start Status in cups package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hey, I upgraded to Ubuntu 17.04, but CUPS crashes on boot, and when I run cupsd it segfaults.
