The segfault is from the smartcard helper in code from libaetpkss.so.3 but I can't seem to find that library in Ubuntu?

[Andreas Hasenack (ahasenack)]

I see. That is a proprietary library needed for this particular smartcard. I understand Ubuntu is not responsible for it. The only thing I can add it that it didn't crash before, and I've been using it since 2017 or so.

It still works, mind you, I can login to sites that require it, sign documents, etc, but this crash happens every now and then, specially after I login to my desktop.
