[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[temal (temal)]

Same problem here with a fresh install of precise on amd64. Looks like only unity3d is affected since unity2d runs without problems.

[Sean Wang (wxwok)]

I'm using the unity2d, I'v seen this problem.
