Removed the "quiet splash" options from the grub config and rebooted. Now THAT looks like a linux system. :-D
boot.log is attached. There's nothing interesting there. cups is not mentioned in dmesg. But I did grep for "cups" in all of my system logs for the past couple of days and was surprised to find that cupsd did segfault last night, apparently while or after I printed some xmonad/dzen documentation to the local networked printer (to read on my night shift :-) In syslog.1 I find this entry: Apr 24 21:44:10 Medium kernel: [18688.981257] cupsd[4938]: segfault at 0 ip 0027c7a0 sp bfebbb88 error 4 in libc-2.11.1.so[209000+153000] Of course cups had been started manually on the command line on both the client and server computers :-( 21:44 would be about the moment that I shutdown my computer so I think that the segfault may have occurred during the shutdown process rather than during printing. I doubt that this segfault relates to this bug 554172 but it is the first error message I have seen regarding cups. The daemon has been silently failing to run at boot time. ** Attachment added: "boot.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/45382534/boot.log -- cups not starting at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
