This bug, which at its base is unreliable boots where scripts in /etc/init/*.conf and /etc/rc2.d do not get executed, has _always_ proven to be random. We have seen dozens of successful boots in a row, followed by a failure, and vice versa. The workarounds _do_not_ promise you will never see a bad boot. I can only say that, for me, it _appears_ to have fixed the problem. You can determine if the boot was probably good by running the runlevel command. If it returns "N 2", the evidence is that you _very_likely_ to have had a good boot and all the services are started. If it returns "unknown" the evidence is that many services did not start, CUPS among them. I added the runlevel command as the last line of my .bashrc profile, so I saw the state as soon as I opened a terminal. -- 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
