Comment 32 for bug 1187970

I tested my 12.04 installation with apparmor disabled in grub for printing and it also segfaulted. However, this time it is not the printdriver, but libpthread - see below

I'm going away for a week now. Will check status of this bug when I come back. Hopefully, we can find a solution.

One more thing, the uname -a in my 12.04 is the following:

janos@andraslinux:~$ uname -a
Linux andraslinux 3.2.0-45-generic #70-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 29 20:11:31 UTC 2013 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
janos@andraslinux:~$

I also run updates on 12.04, and will keep both distributions alive until my scanner and printer works. At that point I'll keep only 13.04. Presently scanner works on 12.04 and printer works on neither. My old FC3 installation has both the printer and scanner working, but the system is all messed up, so I use it as a sanbox. I use there twm as window manager and emlfm for files.

Thanks again for your interest in helping with this issue - and at the same time, hopefully, make Ubuntu better.
