Occasionally Cups is not started after boot. As far as I have noticed, this always coincides with runlevel 'unknown'. The problem occurs randomly, as if the system is throwing a dice at each system start.
System: AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core 3800+, 2GB DDR2 memory A remark to my fellow reporters: It is not helpful at all to start blaming Canonical and its developers, to make comparisons with Vista, refer to other, unrelated problems, etc. Too bad a problem like this happens, but such is life. I've seen even worse problems with commercial software in a professional setting - a problem that did not occur in most systems, but persistently hit a large customer and proved very difficult to solve, in spite of serious efforts from the provider. Management perception: bad software, bad software company. Nonsense! By the way: a better bypass than making changes to system files is to start the missing service(s) manually - in particular for those who do not have a real understanding of what they're doing (and afterwards, don't remember what they did). -- CUPS and other system services 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
