Couldn't get the upgrade to work!! So I don't think it would be old extensions, but then I do a lot of development work and get loads of stuff downloaded from time to time installing the bits I need, and some of that may have imported old stuff. Should I add the printer using the cups 631 interface or the settings panel? The settings panel just threw me off today when I was attempting to answer your first message. After seeing the cruft in journalctl, I did a journalctl reset and set it to just keep 2 days worth. I may want to up that later. /************************* finger stuff ************************** $finger print reader daemon finger: print: no such user. finger: reader: no such user.
