[Bug 890705] Re: temp file links left in /tmp to ppd file in /etc/cups after printing
I had the same thing as Marcel noted in comment #8. My /tmp directory was filled with links to a ppd file under /etc/cups. I had to reboot in recovery mode to remove them. There were more a million, there were at least one link for every 13-digit hexademical number starting with the same 6 digits so at least 2^28, or approximately a quarter of a billion. I had to create a script to delete them because it was too many arguments for rm to handle. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890705 Title: temp file links left in /tmp to ppd file in /etc/cups after printing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/colord/+bug/890705/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I just deleted literally a million of these, or howevermuch the /tmp fs can handle when it ran out of inodes.. all created at the same time, same link... - - -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890705 Title: temp file links left in /tmp to ppd file in /etc/cups after printing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/colord/+bug/890705/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 890705] Re: temp file links left in /tmp to ppd file in /etc/cups after printing
I am having the same problem, but only with one of my printer for which CUPS is not working. If I print to my HP Laserjet 6L, my page is printed and not temporary file is to be found under /tmp. If I print to my Brother MFC-j615W, nothing gets printed (no errors reported though; this is another bug) and the temporary files remain.

Added colord and removed cups, since this is definitely a bug in the applications.

I'm getting something similar, although it's not occurring when I print, so I don't think it's happening from any user action. lrwxrwxrwx 1 jrm jrm 34 2012-01-21 07:57 4f19ff523c9d9 - /etc/cups/ppd/L6-Postdoc-C3370.ppd lrwxrwxrwx 1 jrm jrm 34 2012-01-21 07:57 4f19ff523ca99 - /etc/cups/ppd/L6-Postdoc-C3370.ppd lrwxrwxrwx 1 jrm jrm 34 2012-01-23 07:46 4f1c9ff2b1b8b - /etc/cups/ppd/L6-Postdoc-C3370.ppd lrwxrwxrwx 1 jrm jrm 34 2012-01-23 07:46 4f1c9ff2b1c10 - /etc/cups/ppd/L6-Postdoc-C3370.ppd lrwxrwxrwx 1 jrm jrm 34 2012-01-25 08:04 4f1f4712ae616 - /etc/cups/ppd/L6-Postdoc-C3370.ppd lrwxrwxrwx 1 jrm jrm 34 2012-01-25 08:04 4f1f4712ae6d6 - /etc/cups/ppd/L6-Postdoc-C3370.ppd I wasn't in the office at any of those dates/times, so it's not caused by me printing (the 21st was a Saturday and the 23rd was a public holiday). the CUPS error log contains the following line 4 times: W [25/Jan/2012:08:04:34 +0800] failed to AddProfile: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.Failed:profile object path '/org/freedesktop/ColorManager/profiles/L6_Postdoc_C3370_Gray__' has already been added with similar lines in the older rotated log files for the same timestamps as the older files.

I tried to set the bug to also affects the colord package, but I can't see how to do that without removing the currently assigned package.

This is not a cups bug. It happens when an app calls cupsGetPPD and fails to unlink the returned file as described here: http://localhost:631/help/api-cups.html?QUERY=cupsgetppd#cupsGetPPD With which application did you print? I'm only aware of acrobat reader still leaving those (and other) files around. ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Lars Uebernickel (larsu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890705 Title: temp file links left in /tmp to ppd file in /etc/cups after printing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/890705/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
