Public bug reported: After upgrading to 16.04 (from 14.04) I noticed the sane daemon (sane- utils 1.0.25+git20150528-1ubuntu2) was no longer running. Attempting to manually start it results in systems complaining that the service is masked:
kjetil at lucien in ~> sudo systemctl start saned Failed to start saned.service: Unit saned.service is masked. Unmasking it does not work: kjetil at lucien in ~> sudo systemctl unmask saned kjetil at lucien in ~> sudo systemctl start saned Failed to start saned.service: Unit saned.service is masked. kjetil at lucien in ~> ps u -C saned USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND kjetil at lucien in ~> ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: sane-utils 1.0.25+git20150528-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-21.37-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun May 1 13:10:31 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-08-01 (1368 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120424.1) SourcePackage: sane-backends UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to xenial on 2016-04-24 (6 days ago) mtime.conffile..etc.default.saned: 2016-05-01T12:51:02.879807 mtime.conffile..etc.sane.d.saned.conf: 2016-01-10T13:57:20.785810 ** Affects: sane-backends (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577137 Title: sane service masked and cannot be unmasked To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1577137/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
