[Bug 933308] Re: cupsd failed to create /var/run/cups/cups.sock, skipping automatic printer configuration

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package cups - 1.7.0~rc1-0ubuntu3

---------------
cups (1.7.0~rc1-0ubuntu3) saucy; urgency=low

  * debian/local/cups-daemon.cups.upstart: Increased timeout for waiting for
    the CUPS daemon to get ready before automatically configuring printers
    from 3 sec to 30 sec, on slower systems CUPS often needs more than 3
    seconds and so the automatic printer configuration does not get done
    (LP: #933308).
  * debian/cups.dirs: Create empty /etc/cups/interfaces directory
    (LP: #499585).

Title:
  cupsd failed to create /var/run/cups/cups.sock, skipping automatic
  printer configuration

Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  With upstart logging enabled, the cups upstart job routinely spits the
  following error out to /var/log/upstart/cups.log:

    cupsd failed to create /var/run/cups/cups.sock, skipping automatic
  printer configuration

  Indeed, cups seems to get around to creating the socket several
  seconds after the cups post-start script stops waiting for it.

  $ ls -l --full-time /var/log/upstart/cups.log 
  -rw-r----- 1 root root 90 2012-02-15 22:23:01.937144478 -0800 /var/log/upstart/cups.log
  $ ls -l --full-time /var/run/cups/cups.sock 
  srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2012-02-15 22:23:13.261144768 -0800 /var/run/cups/cups.sock
  $

  So it doesn't look like a 3 second timeout is realistically long
  enough here.
