 |
|
When i stat cupsd, it immediately crashes without any error message: | Code: | $ sudo /etc/init.d/cupsd status;sudo /etc/init.d/cupsd start;sudo /etc/init.d/cupsd status
* status: stopped
* Starting cupsd ... [ ok ]
* status: crashed
|
Running `sudo /etc/init.d/cupsd -d start the final part of the outut looks like this: | Code: | + ebegin 'Starting cupsd'
* Starting cupsd ...
+ yesno ''
+ '[' -z '' ']'
+ return 1
+ yesno ''
+ '[' -z '' ']'
+ return 1
+ eval start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/sbin/cupsd '' '' --pidfile /run/cupsd.pid -b -m --pidfile /run/cupsd.pid -- -f -c /etc/cups/cupsd.conf -s /etc/cups/cups-files.conf
++ start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/sbin/cupsd --pidfile /run/cupsd.pid -b -m --pidfile /run/cupsd.pid -- -f -c /etc/cups/cupsd.conf -s /etc/cups/cups-files.conf
+ eend 0 'Failed to start cupsd' [ ok ]
+ service_set_value command /usr/sbin/cupsd
+ '[' -n '' ']'
+ '[' -n /run/cupsd.pid ']'
+ service_set_value pidfile /run/cupsd.pid
+ '[' -n '' ']'
+ return 0
++ command -v start_post
+ '[' '' = start_post ']'
++ command -v cgroup_cleanup
+ '[' cgroup_cleanup = cgroup_cleanup ']'
+ '[' start = stop ']'
++ command -v cgroup2_remove
+ '[' cgroup2_remove = cgroup2_remove ']'
+ '[' start = stop ']'
+ '[' -z /usr/sbin/cupsd ']'
+ shift
+ continue 2
+ '[' -n '' ']'
+ exit 0

My cupsd´s version: | Code: | $ sudo /etc/init.d/cupsd -V
cupsd (OpenRC) 0.45.2 (Gentoo Linux)
|
whereas the version of net-print/cups is 2.4.2-r6.
My system: | Code: | $ uname -a
Linux quetzal 5.10.52-gentoo-dist #1 SMP Sat Aug 14 18:05:47 CEST 2021 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9300H CPU @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux |
I haven't printed for several weeks, so there may have been several several updates between the last time i printed something and my current attempt. And i also haven't changed any configuration in this time.
How can this be fixed?

| What happens when you run /usr/sbin/cupsd -f -c /etc/cups/cupsd.conf -s /etc/cups/cups-files.conf as root? |

Nothiing visible happens - the command just returns.
| Code: | $ sudo /usr/sbin/cupsd -f -c /etc/cups/cupsd.conf -s /etc/cups/cups-files.conf
$

It should not immediately return. Check your syslog for what the issue is. |

Thank you for your advice.
When i run the command 'sudo /etc/init.d/cupsd start' the following lines are added to syslog: | Code: | Mar 27 20:37:57 quetzal cupsd: Unknown SystemGroup "jody" on line 19 of /etc/cups/cups-files.conf.
Mar 27 20:37:57 quetzal cupsd: Unable to read "/etc/cups/cups-files.conf" due to errors.
|
It turned out i had changed the group of user jody a few weeks ago without realizing this would have any effect on cupsd.
After modifying the "SystemGroup" property of /etc/cups/cups-files.conf correspondingly, cupsd can be started properly again. |
