du -hs /var/log/cups/*

0	/var/log/cups/error_log
191G	/var/log/cups/error_log.1
639G	/var/log/cups/error_log.2

Can I delete those files? Can I limit the size of the file?

In the image, I am using the package: gdu

Thanks

yes, you can

I’m not sure whether or how to do that with cups error logs.

But:
the size of these logs!

You should fix the error that is responsible for the logs being so large!

Those logs with the number at the end are rotated logs - no longer written to,
still present for the sake of history, if you will …
The “active” one is /var/log/cups/error_log

du -hs /var/log/cups/*

would have done the job just as well - can you replace the image for the output of that command?

Indeed. Something’s aamiss there, because in contrast:

$ dua /var/log/cups                                                                                                                                                                                                          0   B access_log

you misunderstood me
replace - not post this variant here again
the intention was to get rid of the picture in the first post

ps:
I see you did - thanks!

This. This…well, I’ve never seen logs this large. Better to find out why they’re this size. Please provide the output of:

Please provide the output of:

sudo grep -ri /cups.sock /etc/cups/*

Aragorn · 15 September 2024 09:13

You have a 4.36 TiB drive. By default, journald maintains a maximum log size of 20% of the filesystem’s capacity.

I would advise you to edit /etc/systemd/journald.conf, look for these values below and change them to what you would consider sane defaults — the ones I’ve set are pretty good values.

[...]

SystemMaxUse=250M

[...]

RuntimeMaxUse=250M

[...]

Make sure these lines are not commented out — i.e. there must not be a “#” in front of them — and then save the file and run the following command…

sudo systemctl reload systemd-journald

I will wait with doing that, first I wan to see if people have something they want to learn from this “mess/bug?” that I have.

Hmmm…OK, Nothing there, either. So let’s dive a bit deeper. Please provide the error logs.

Finding errors

journalctl --priority=warning..crit --no-pager --boot=-1 --unit=cups.service

Where:

The --priority=warning..err argument limits the output to warnings and errors only;
--no-pager formats the output nicely for use here, on the forum;
the --boot=-1 argument limits the messages to be from the previous boot; this can be adjusted to 0 for the current boot or -2 for the 2 boots ago.
The --unit=cups.service argument limits the output to messages from the cups service only.

That means it’s working fine, the error is not something related to starting cups. I think. I think i t has to do with cups itself, and an error in the cups configuration. So please provide the out of the following:

cat /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

and

systemctl cat cups.{service,socket}

Common Unix Printing System

Mirdarthos · 15 September 2024 10:00

CUPS is the standards-based, open source printing system developed by OpenPrinting for Linux® and other Unix®-like operating systems.
– CUPS - ArchWiki

I have absolutely NO idea what is/what could be causing the problem, sorry.

Maybe someone else does, though.

Probably some wrong printer config file, but i have no idea how to debug too.
