Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
I'm not sure whether I can duplicate these issues or not and they might be related to one another:
1) When I booted up into Ubuntu for the first time, there was some system error: "directory not found in root directory" or something like that. The text displayed might've also shown the message about a missing "var/run/
E [05/Apr/
E [05/Apr/
E [05/Apr/
E [05/Apr/

E [05/Apr/
The error never occurred again, however, I would find certain references within System log.
2) The following error has occurred at least twice. This ALWAYS happens when I'm carrying out a task on the computer and it definitely does not occur by itself as I left the pc on for about 8 hours when I went to sleep and to do other tasks. When I came back to the pc, Ubuntu was in working condition(no crashes, freezes, etc., etc.)
I can't say for sure I remember what applications I was running and what tasks I was performing during all those times when this error occurred. However, on one particular occasion, I was downloading Koffice. Before the download could finish, Ubuntu crashed and I got the following error. This time, I'd a digicam ready and I was able to snap an image. This is the clearest shot I could take(the others were eh, too blurry):

I don't think I've any other logs to provide as the error last occurred more than 12 hours ago. However, what I did was to disable Printer service(cupsys) and Printer service(hplip) from System---> Administration----> Services. Since then, the errors have not occurred.
The applications which I were running while this crash occurred while downloading Koffice were:
a) Thunderbird
b) Firefox
c) Terminal
d) Synaptic manager
e) Text editor
f) Konqueror
g) Skype

Oh, and I also tried to look for any other error logs by searching for hidden files and folders within File System. Unfortunately, there were none. What I did was to search for any files that contained the term "cups" or for any files named "cups", and that would likely contain some error messages.
And I also looked at the date they were last modified. Anything modified before 5th April 2007 couldn't be used as Feisty was installed on 5th April.
I also looked for any and all files that contained the term "/var/run/ cups/certs" . Also, no results.
