Public bug reported: Second time I encountered this bug, last time had to completely reinstall the system. Bug is described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1033190
Basically, I shared a printer via the cups browser interface, it restarted, and since then, everything with login is segfaulting. Now I'm making a backup and then trying the workaround described in the ubuntu-thread: got it, hit 'esc' during boot, fired up a recovery console, "apt-get remove libpam-smbpass" and it's all good. Also not sure if this is a bug of cups or libpam-smbpass, but not being able to boot into your system is a pretty big deal imho. This is my first bug report, so tell me if you need more info. Some additional info: - Ubuntu 8.10 - libpam-smbpass: Installed: 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.4 ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Sharing cups disables entire system with segmentation faults https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356851 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
