Verbose Logging in dependent package

Post by jimko »

I noticed constant activity in my /var/log/syslog from cups-browsd. I traced it down to a set -e -xcommand in /snap/cups/872/scripts/run-cups-browsed. This version of cups from a snap seems to be installed by the FreeCAD snap. Can anybody else confirm they are seeing the same issue? I don't

OS: Ubuntu 22.10 Kudu
FreeCAD: 0.20.2 (installed from a snap)

I removed the cups snap and the logging issue is resolved.

Code: Select all

sudo snap remove cups
The default /usr/sbin/cups-browsed is running after I rebooted. FreeCAD still seems to work, but I haven't tried printing yet.

Example of the trace logging that was repeated every second:

Code: Select all

cups.cups-browsed[1755978]: + sleep 1
cups.cups-browsed[1755978]: + [ -r /var/snap/cups/872/var/run/cupsd.pid ]
cups.cups-browsed[1756149]: + cat /var/snap/cups/872/var/run/cupsd.pid
cups.cups-browsed[1755978]: + PID=2268
cups.cups-browsed[1755978]: + [ -n 2268 ]
cups.cups-browsed[1755978]: + kill -0 2268
