> Bug 596611 is similar but not caused by cups-pdf. I'll keep an eye on that one, though the only case that doesn't work here is cups-pdf printing.
Some investigations: Reverted back to cups-pdf 2.5.0-15 and chmod 0755 /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf. This time this doesn't work, i.e now receiving /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf failed. Thus, it doesn't seem to be the upgrade itself from 2.5.0-15 to 2.5.0-16 that causes the failure now. Notable is that /var/spool/cups-pdf/SPOOL doesn't exist. $ ls -dl /var/spool/cups-pdf/ANONYMOUS drwxrwxrwt 2 root lpadmin 4096 2010-06-08 10:58 /var/spool/cups-pdf/ANONYMOUS Extract from syslog: Jun 28 19:18:48 maverick kernel: [ 1046.369979] audit_printk_skb: 8824 callbacks suppressed Jun 28 19:18:48 maverick kernel: [ 1046.369986] type=1400 audit(1277745528.723:8872): operation="getattr" pid=2962 parent=1288 profile="/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf" name="/var/log/cups/" pid=2962 comm="cups-pdf" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0 Jun 28 19:18:48 maverick kernel: [ 1046.370016] type=1400 audit(1277745528.723:8873): operation="getattr" pid=2962 parent=1288 profile="/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf" name="/var/log/cups/" pid=2962 comm="cups-pdf" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0 Jun 28 19:18:48 maverick kernel: [ 1046.370060] type=1400 audit(1277745528.723:8874): operation="getattr" pid=2962 parent=1288 profile="/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf" name="/var/log/" pid=2962 comm="cups-pdf" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0 Jun 28 19:18:48 maverick kernel: [ 1046.370094] type=1400 audit(1277745528.723:8875): operation="getattr" pid=2962 parent=1288 profile="/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf" name="/var/" pid=2962 comm="cups-pdf" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0 Jun 28 19:18:48 maverick kernel: [ 1046.370124] type=1400 audit(1277745528.723:8876): operation="getattr" pid=2962 parent=1288 profile="/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf" name="/" pid=2962 comm="cups-pdf" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0 Jun 28 19:18:48 maverick kernel: [ 1046.370157] type=1400 audit(1277745528.723:8877): operation="getattr" pid=2962 parent=1288 profile="/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf" name="/" pid=2962 comm="cups-pdf" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0 Jun 28 19:18:48 maverick kernel: [ 1046.370190] type=1400 audit(1277745528.723:8878): operation="getattr" pid=2962 parent=1288 profile="/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf" name="/" pid=2962 comm="cups-pdf" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0 Jun 28 19:18:48 maverick kernel: [ 1046.370228] type=1400 audit(1277745528.723:8879): operation="getattr" pid=2962 parent=1288 profile="/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf" name="/" pid=2962 comm="cups-pdf" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0 Jun 28 19:18:48 maverick kernel: [ 1046.370260] type=1400 audit(1277745528.723:8880): operation="getattr" pid=2962 parent=1288 profile="/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf" name="/" pid=2962 comm="cups-pdf" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0 Jun 28 19:18:48 maverick kernel: [ 1046.370293] type=1400 audit(1277745528.723:8881): operation="getattr" pid=2962 parent=1288 profile="/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf" name="/" pid=2962 comm="cups-pdf" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0 Maybe this can give a clue, -- Print jobs hang in the print queue due to permission issues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/594364 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
