Can everyone with this problem edit /etc/init/cups.conf replacing the line (near the end)
timeout=6 by timeout=60 After that, reboot your machine. Check whether no new "cupsd failed to create /var/run/cups/cups.sock, skipping automatic printer configuration" message gets added to /var/log/upstart/cups.log and whether the boot time (BIOS screen to login screen) does not get significantly longer. Tell us your results here. ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933308 Title: cupsd failed to create /var/run/cups/cups.sock, skipping automatic printer configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/933308/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
