Seb, you see here why the future lies in immutable distros, it is so easy to create a complete mess with conventional ones ...
The steps were all an act of desperation. By stumbling over the cups- snap repo on OpenPrinting (and therefore installing the CUPS Snap) Marc has tried to get rid of the Debian packages of CUPS and used this "systemctl mask ..." hammer (against the debianized CUPS) which I even did not know about. And also this hammer deletes a file which comes from a package and therefore "systemctl unmask ..." does not work (systemd bug???). So I walked him through cleaning up the mess so that one can investigate the real bug again ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2083530 Title: gnome-control-center not able to add printer or make settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/2083530/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
