Contents of modules.conf

  GNU nano 2.2.6                    File: /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf                                              

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.

i2c-dev

there is no /etc/modules.load.d/cups and I have disabled cups and cups-browsed services using sudo rcconf and printer is also unplugged any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can you add more details from the files "/etc/modules.load.d/modules.conf" and "ls /etc/modules.load.d/cups*". Usually this happens when the hardware is missing and kernel tries to load the module on boot.

Looks like this is a bug already Ubuntu (Debian) is looking at from the 16.04 release.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1574163enter image description here

This might be fixed in some patch soon i guess. Hope this is not causing any other problems for your Raspberry Pi.

  • There's not really a bug there by my reading of that (a lot of bug reports don't in the end equal bugs), except to the extent that someone may have triggered expected behavior due what may be a sort of bug when upgrading from ubuntu 14 to 16. Anyway, the root cause of the issue in all the cases reported there are modules that aren't being loaded because they are non-existent. You should try what is suggested, sudo SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug /lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load and if the output doesn't explain it for you, paste it into the question.
