When I start my laptop, during booting, when the system arrives at Cups service start-up, it stays idling for one or two minutes - I didn't check with my clock anyway :-) - for sure it is much longer than other services. Where shall I look??
It sounds like a name resolution is taking a long time. Things to check:
- /etc/hosts
This is my /etc/host file:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost
- the ServerName directive in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf -- this defaults to
the server's hostname if not present
This is my cupsd.conf file # # "$Id: cupsd.conf.in 5454 2006-04-23 21:46:38Z mike $" # # Sample configuration file for the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) # scheduler. See "man cupsd.conf" for a complete description of this # file. #

- does this command take ages too?: host "$(hostname)"
Computer has the name MAXDATA but if I issue $ host maxdata
I get
Host maxdata not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
while if I issue host localhost I get immediately localhost has address 127.0.0.1
If I restart CUPS service, it restarts in a breeze
Tnx for help
