There is an upstream fix for the crash; it will be in the next gutenprint release. Alternatively you can get the patch here if you don't want to wait for upstream to spit out a new release:
http://gimp-print.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gimp- print/print/src/cups/backend_common.c?r1=1.31&r2=1.32&view=patch Second, the permissions for the 'gutenprint52+usb' backend are incorrect, and I believe this is the fault of the Ubuntu package itself. They currently are 0755... -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 90788 Mar 18 18:36 gutenprint52+usb But should be 0700. This is what the upstream gutenprint package installs: -rwx------ 1 root root 102005 Mar 27 14:28 gutenprint52+usb I am not able to make changes to the Ubuntu package, so this will have to suffice. Still, the root cause is that libusb is basically broken on your system, but at least the crash won't occur any more. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1297326 Title: gutenprint52+usb crashed with SIGSEGV in __GI___pthread_mutex_lock() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gutenprint/+bug/1297326/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
