The bug appears to be related to a change in Edgy where the hostname was added to the /etc/hosts file as 127.0.1.1. There are many threads (google 127.0.1.1) where this has caused performance problems. It looks like cups is looking up your machine's IP address based on hostname, finding the entry in /etc/hosts as 127.0.1.1 (instead of looking up localhost = 127.0.0.1). CUPS has security settings that only allows @LOCAL access (= 127.0.0.1) and not 127.0.1.1, so you can't query the printers. This looks like a change made by whoever added the entry into /etc/hosts, and didn't consider the ramifications to other packages.
As noted, the order of the /etc/hosts file is important to fixing this bug. The 127.0.0.1 entry must be first. Hopefully the right folks will see this thread, and fix the problems caused by the change in /etc/hosts. -- evince does not enable print https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
