I just did an update (forget what packages) and also did fstrim, not sure if one of those cause my problem…

I ran this as user:

systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service

with this result

I don’t understand what these mean, or what to do

I had previously tried printer sharing with my desktop PC (leap 42.3) , just installed Leap 15.0. When I tried to check the printer setup on the laptop in Yast, it tries to restart CUPS, then I see a dialog that says “Error - No locally running CUPS daemon is accessible”. I can get into CUPS with htpp:localhost:631 either.

3

I got a second dialog that said to run

lpstat -h localhost -r

I get this

scheduler is not running

I ran that as user… same result as root

4

The next thing it tells me run is

netstat -nap | grep cupsd

The reply is

netstat: command not found

netstat isn’t in Yast for me to install… ???

5

I unconditionally updated CUPS in Yast, now I could get into CUPS from the web browser, and deleted the printer I had set up. Still getting the original error.

6

This seems to work now also

lpstat -h loalhost -r

with this result

scheduler is running

Re-tried this

systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service

Result as user:

Then rebooted … still get the boot error.

Make that

lpstat -h localhost -r

A possible clue? In Yast System Log, I looked at /var/log/boot.log, and saw this

[FAILED] Failed to mount /home/user/ReadyShare

On my laptop I have a shell script I run to mount the “ReadyShare” USB drive plugged into my NetGear router, using this:

#!/bin/sh
sudo mount -t cifs //10.0.0.1/USB_Storage /home/user/ReadyShare -o user,guest,sec=ntlm,uid=user

I don’t know why it is trying to mount it during boot (if that’s what the error means), it should only mount when I tell it to, after booting, and after I connect to the WiFi. I don’t know if this is related to my original boot error, though.

10

Edit: The log error said to do this

sudo systemctl status home-user-ReadyShare.mount

got this result

Unit home-user-ReadyShare.mount could not be found
11

Now the mouse pointer stopped working. I decided t wipe the drive and reinstall… shouldn’t have “experimented” with various things, I guess I really messed it up.

Nevermind rotfl!

It is the package “net-tools-deprecated”, which you can install. Or use the “ss” command instead of “netstat”.
