View Full Version : Can't get local host in 13.04

After upgrade to 13.04 neither Firefox or Chromium browsers will access localhost. Chromium says "Chromium's connection attempt to localhost was rejected".
This is not a problem when I go back to 12.10.
It may be a 64bit specific problem 'cos it happens on my desktop (64-bit installation) but not on a laptop (32-bit).
The contents of /etc/hosts,host.conf,hostname,hosts.allow,hosts.deny are the same in my 12.10 & 13.04

What resides on localhost? I mean do you have some application that use http://localhost ?

I wanted to get to localhost:631 to deal with a printer problem.

you are trying to use the cups conf feature try in the browser the address with the right port:
"localhost:231"
to check if cups is installed:
dpkg -s cups
hg21

That gives the same result, I cannot access localhost. When did it change from 631? I've used that for years and on my laptop 631 gives cups info.
to check if cups is installed:
dpkg -s cups
dpkg -s cups
Package: cups
Status: install ok installed

if you only have that printer connection issue (but no network trouble), then check the users & groups properties

Solved it!
The problem was in cupsd.conf.
The line
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
was repeated twice
I replaced one of these with
Listen localhost:631
I presume this is a bug in the 64bit version of 13.04
