FC 3 hangs while booting

[newestnewbie]

Hi,

I have been using redhat and fedora for quite many years now. But I never graduated from a newbie!

Cuurently I have a problem wherein my machine hangs while booting (specifially, when it initializes cups). This started happenining after I upgraded to "2.6.10-1.766". It works fine with the previous build "2.6.9-1.667". After this I upgraded the system to 2.6.10-1.770 & 2.6.11-1.14. the problem persists in each of these.

I got a workaround that is to " chkconfig --del cups ".

But with this I am not able to print anything from my FC3 install.

Please advice.

Thanks,
NEWESTNEWBIE

What happens if you then try to start cups by hand in a root terminal window?

service cups start

Use another root terminal window to see if there is anything added to /var/log/messages. Just sitting there sniggering at you? See what it has hold of with

lsof -n | grep cupsd
netstat -plutn | grep cupsd

Thanks !
I tried "/sbin/service cups start" and it just hung (there was no response) after saying "starting cups". I ahd to switch off the computer
I tried it on command prompt and then tried to do what you said. lsof's response is below and netstat dint have anything to say about cupsd.

I am not able to figure out what the log below is.. please help

thanks in advance.

Cups has not opened any network socket at the time it is hanging then?

I noticed cups has this open

/var/log/cups/error_log

is there anything interesting in it?

Do you have a printer plugged in? Maybe disconnecting it and trying again with starting cups might be interesting.

killall -9 cupsd

should stop cups so you can try to start it again.

I too have just upgraded my installation with uptodate, and now when I start up Linux, I get an Error popup "the Application eggcups has quit unexpectedly', I can not clear the popup message until I try to shut down the computer. The the system will not shutdown until the popup window is closed. G;-)
