I have raised the default LogDebugHistory some years ago as most printing problems happen during the execution of a job and this way one gets a logging with debug verbosity only for jobs and standard verbosity for all the rest. This way one often did not need to ask the bug- reporting users to reproduce their problems after having set logging to debug mode but instead, one could simply start to work with the error_log auto-captured by Apport.
Up to now no one complained that it somehow overloaded system resources. Please add a line "LogDebugHistory 200" to your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and restart CUPS. I will remove this change from the next release of the CUPS package. OdyX, could you remove the LogDebugHistory=99999 default change from the CUPS package for Debian (remove log-debug-history-nearly- unlimited.patch)? Thanks. ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1831021 Title: Extremely high memory consumption under heavy workload To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1831021/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
