Uploaded a new fixed package to quantal-proposed, this time using the improved logrotate script. As soon as the package gets approved it will be available for testing and a comment with instructions will be posted here. Please test it and give us feedback as your feedback is required to make the package an official update.
SRU Team: debdiff is attached. ** Patch added: "cups_1.6.1-0ubuntu11.3_1.6.1-0ubuntu11.4.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/cups/+bug/1086019/+attachment/3651525/+files/cups_1.6.1-0ubuntu11.3_1.6.1-0ubuntu11.4.debdiff ** Description changed: Every day I get a 'System Problem Detected' dialog that says that cupsd has crashed. The symptom is similar to the one described in bug 1034045. I expected this would be fixed by cups 1.6.1-0ubuntu11, but I have that version installed and the errors persist. The test case in bug 1034045 does not result in an immediate crash of cupsd. Specifically, this does not produce a crash on my system: 1. Run 'sudo rm -f /var/crash/_usr_sbin_cupsd.0.crash' 2. Run 'sudo service cupsd restart' 3. Verify that a new /var/crash/_usr_sbin_cupsd.0.crash file has been created (and if on a desktop, that a new crash notification has been shown). [IMPACT] For CUPS users who activate the "Show printers shared by other systems" in the server settings of system-config-printer or in the CUPS web interface, so that they automatically get shared remote CUPS printers - listed in print dialogs CUPS crashes regularly, typically once a day, - popping up an Apport dialog to upload the crash info to Launchpad. - Otherwise all is working correctly, there is only the annoying crash - report. + listed in print dialogs CUPS crashes regularly, typically once a day + triggered by logrotate, popping up an Apport dialog to upload the crash + info to Launchpad. Otherwise all is working correctly, there is only the + annoying crash report. [TESTCASE] Activate "Show printers shared by other systems" in the server settings of system-config-printer or run the command cupsctl --remote-printers I am not sure whether there must be actually a remote printer to trigger the crash. So on another computer in the same local network (or on a virtual machine if you do not have a second computer) create a CUPS queue and share it. Activate "Published shared printers connected to this system" in the server settings of system-config-printer or run the command cupsctl --share-printers on that computer. Now observe for some days. Probably you will get a crash report once a day. - With the proposed package these crash reports are suppressed. CUPS is - still crashing once a day, but Upstart restarts it and no crash report - appears. So the system appears to behave normally. The crash is of no - harm, it is probably triggered by cron job action during the night and - due to Upstart restarting CUPS CUPS is always present. Printing does not - trigger the crash, so print jobs are always executed correctly. + With the proposed package the logrotate script is improved to not take a + way log files from CUPS while it is running. It stops CUPS, moves the + log files, and after that starts CUPS again. This way CUPS stops + crashing during the logrotate once a day, so the system will behave + normally now. Printing does not trigger the crash, so print jobs are + always executed correctly. [Regression Potential] - None. No change in any executable which could cause a regression. Only - disadvantage is that not yet discovered crashes for other reasons do not - get visible. + None. No change in any executable which could cause a regression.
