Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cupsys
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS Release: 8.04 cupsys: Installed: 1.3.7-1ubuntu3.6 Candidate: 1.3.7-1ubuntu3.6 Version table: *** 1.3.7-1ubuntu3.6 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.3.7-1ubuntu3 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages I have a cups server on one machine, connected to the printer via USB, and print jobs are always sent from other Linux computers in the network. This works for some time and then just stops until I restart CUPS like with: % sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart Often the document is then printed twice. Today I investigated the error a bit and the CUPS error log shows: D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] job-sheets=none,none D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] banner_page = 0 D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] argv[0]="Lexi" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] argv[1]="1615" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] argv[2]="mkretz" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] argv[4]="1" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] argv[5]="noCollate job-uuid=urn:uuid:dfa694b9-c90b-3989-7929-819576fe01f9 media=A4 number-up=2 outputorder=normal portrait sides=one-sided" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] argv[6]="/var/spool/cups/d01615-001" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[0]="CUPS_CACHEDIR=/var/cache/cups" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[1]="CUPS_DATADIR=/usr/share/cups" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[2]="CUPS_DOCROOT=/usr/share/cups/doc-root" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[3]="CUPS_FONTPATH=/usr/share/cups/fonts" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[4]="CUPS_REQUESTROOT=/var/spool/cups" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[5]="CUPS_SERVERBIN=/usr/lib/cups" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[6]="CUPS_SERVERROOT=/etc/cups" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[7]="CUPS_STATEDIR=/var/run/cups" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[8]="PATH=/usr/lib/cups/filter:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[9]="server_admin=mkr...@vir.homelinux.org" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[10]="SOFTWARE=CUPS/1.3.7" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[11]="TMPDIR=/var/spool/cups/tmp" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[12]="TZ=Europe/Berlin" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[13]="USER=root" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[14]="CUPS_SERVER=/var/run/cups/cups.sock" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[15]="CUPS_ENCRYPTION=IfRequested" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[16]="IPP_PORT=631" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[17]="CHARSET=utf-8" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[18]="LANG=en_US.UTF8" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[19]="PPD=/etc/cups/ppd/Lexi.ppd" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[20]="RIP_MAX_CACHE=8m" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[21]="CONTENT_TYPE=application/postscript" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[22]="DEVICE_URI=usb://Lexmark/Optra%20E310" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[23]="PRINTER=Lexi" D [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] envp[24]="FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE=application/vnd.cups-postscript" E [18/Nov/2009:17:08:43 +0100] [Job 1615] Unable to create job status pipes - Too many open files. "Too many open files." The output of "sudo lsof | grep cups" is attached. The problem started about 3-6 months ago. I assume it is a regression introduced with some update. ** Affects: cupsys (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- cups in Hardy leaks file descriptors: "too many open files" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484872 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
