Title: cups causes Chromium Browser to freeze
Post by: cefcom on November 25, 2011, 03:12:18 PM

Hi:
I'm trying to install cups-pdf in tinycore 4.02.  But when I issue the command in terminal:

Code: [Select]

$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/cups start
I get:

Code: [Select]

stopped /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon (pid 3897)
   rm: can't remove '/var/run/dbus/pid' : no such file or directory
If I then continue using  the Chromium browser for about 5 mins. or less,  it freezes and the the whole system stops.
I have to perform a hard  re-boot.

Tinycore is installed on a 4GB flash-drive using EXT2.

Has anyone else had the same problem?

This message is normal - it arises because when you first start the cups daemon, it tries to restart the dbus daemon. If the dbus daemon is not running, then there is no dbus pid file and hence the error message. If you check, you'll find both the dbus and cups daemons are running.

Note that you'll only see this message the first time you start cups, it will not attempt to restart dbus on subsequent attempts.

For the hang, I assume out of ram and probably unrelated to cups. Run top in a shell etc to confirm.
