When I reinstall CUPS /etc/cups/cupsd.conf is *not* updated. |
| 2 |
Details follow. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Cups was behaving badly: the web interface could not be used. The |
| 5 |
browser would quickly say no process was listening on localhost:631 |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I compared cupsd.conf to the same file on another working system and |
| 8 |
noticed the following differences |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
1. *Many* pairs of lines were missing. The first line of each pair |
| 11 |
was blank; the second a comment. Presumably this has no effect. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
2. The initial block comment was missing. Again no effect. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
3. One very influential change |
| 16 |
Listen localhost:631 |
| 17 |
was replaced by a second copy of |
| 18 |
Listen /run/cups/cups.sock |
| 19 |
When I manually put back localhost:631 |
| 20 |
the cups web interface again behaved normally. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
4. The following block was *added* at the end |
| 23 |
JobPrivateAccess default |
| 24 |
JobPrivateValues default |
| 25 |
MaxLogSize 2000000 |
| 26 |
SubscriptionPrivateAccess default |
| 27 |
SubscriptionPrivateValues default |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
The first, second, fourth, and fifth generated "Unknown directive" |
| 30 |
messages in /var/log/cups/error.log |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
So I reinstalled cups but /etc/cups/cupd.conf was not changed and still |
| 33 |
has its old date and contents. The merge looks clean (output below) |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I am wondering if there is something wrong with my setup. |
| 36 |
I have the userpriv feature enabled. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Any help would be appreciated. |
| 39 |
thanks, |
