[Bug 1215733] Re: cups config files cannot deal with symlinks and/or other filesystems
Many thanks to Peter Teuben, and for finding that the cause of the 'permission denied' actually is the symlink from /usr/share to /home. I can say the symlink also causes cups to fail in Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1215733 Title: cups config files cannot deal with symlinks and/or other filesystems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1215733/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Once I figured this problem, I was able to "work around" it, and am now back in printing business, but is it an established fact that this is a CUPS bug? And if so, shouldn't it be sent upstream to "apple" (cups.org) ?? I should also add that during experimenting I had one time where I thought it should have failed, it worked, or the other way around. As if that symlink was allowed to be a level down, but not at the top level of it's chain kinda weird, I'm not clear in my head how exactly it was. Don't know how much you tried on this, but I'm happy to try and recreate this oddity. peter -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1215733 Title: cups config files cannot deal with symlinks and/or other filesystems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1215733/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you Peter for posting this bug. I've spent two evenings tracking this. I was on to the same thing, saw the same errors, but it never occured to me that the symlink would be an obstacle. As you, I had made a symlink from /usr/share to /home/share on an old Eee PC 901 running Lubuntu 12.10 with severly limited primary partition. It's just not possible to fit /usr/share onto the root partition. The solution, brought by you, was to remove the symlink, create a folder /usr/share and symlink every subfolder to /home/share, except cups, and as I found out, also ppd. Now the printing works a charm, also http://localhost:631. -Ivar! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1215733 Title: cups config files cannot deal with symlinks and/or other filesystems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1215733/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
