2013-10-06 12:00:55 Jakob Unterwurzacher description in our institution we are running only printers through a cups server. while freshly opened document prints well, after some time (few minutes) clicking "print file directly" and menu item "print" do not work any more. after close and open again, thing prints correctly. i have checked what exactly is going on in such cases and logs on the cups server don't show any submissions and/or errors so that the thing is obviously stopped at the level of libreoffice. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: libreoffice 1:3.5.3-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-26.41-generic 3.2.19 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-26-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Jul 2 12:29:31 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash LC_PAPER=en_GB.UTF-8 SourcePackage: libreoffice UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) == Problem == In our institution we are running only printers through a cups server. while freshly opened document prints well, after some time (few minutes) clicking "print file directly" and menu item "print" do not work any more. after close and open again, thing prints correctly. i have checked what exactly is going on in such cases and logs on the cups server don't show any submissions and/or errors so that the thing is obviously stopped at the level of libreoffice. DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 == Analysis == LibreOffice loses it's TCP connection to CUPS after exactly 5 minutes of inactivity and does not manage to reconnect. To reproduce: print something (to a real printer or cups-pdf), wait 6 minutes not printing anything, and print again. Then, nothing is printed. You can watch the TCP connection using netstat -tpn | grep soffice While it's working, it looks like this: tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:48810 127.0.0.1:631 ESTABLISHED 13976/soffice.bin After 5 minutes, that connection is gone permanently. == Workaround == Add the line Timeout 62400 to the top of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf . This sets the timeout to 24 hours and fixes the issue (verified on Ubuntu 12.04).

The effect is that printing to a remote cupsd is no longer possible after LibreOffice has been open for 5 minutes. [Test Case] * This can be reproduced on a desktop system. You don't need a separate CUPS server. * You need at least one print queue in CUPS. If you don't have a printer, install "cups-pdf". * Optional, configure CUPS with a shorter timeout for testing: sudo cupsctl Timeout=30 # seconds sudo restart cups * Configure the CUPS client to use a TCP socket: mkdir ~/.cups echo ServerName 127.0.0.1 > ~/.cups/client.conf * Open LibreOffice. Press Ctrl-P to open the Print dialog. Press Esc to dismiss the dialog. Wait long enough for the timout to elapse (5 minutes by default, or as per the Timeout setting). * Try to print. With cups in precise, the job simply vanishes and is never seen by the server. With the proposed patch, printing works normally. [Regression Potential] * The patch changes a library linked by many programs. An incorrect change might result in those programs misbehaving or crashing. * The patch is minimal, only adding a branch to handle a case that was previously not handled. The behaviour in other cases should be unchanged. [Other Info] * A workaround is to set the cupsd Timeout to a high value such as 8 hours. This works on a server with few users, but on a busy server more and more connections are opened and eventually cupsd isn't able to accept new clients.
