system commands not working: internal error 12.04

Is it only the printer dialogue giving you issues?

Thanks

Hi,
Not only printer dialog. Many system task, for example:
When I tried clinking "Network - All settings -* Additional Driver*" The
same error message flashes.
I have seen this happening couple of times, not able to recall what exactly
the task were.

when I clikced "Ubuntu One", there the message was that something like
"cos of some system error, the application needs to be closed".

Thanks,
Pooja

Is the system fully updated. you can check with:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Reboot to test

Maybe librtmp is just missing, Try this command to install it:

sudo apt-get install librtmp0

Hi,
I tried installing it. But it says that it is already installed.

Thanks,
Pooja

As ThKrueger said, it looks looks a problem with librtmp

try the command
sudo apt-get install --reinstall librtmp0

The error message "Reinstallation of librtmp0 is not possible, it cannot be downloaded." is strange.

Please issue the following commands in a terminal and copy/paste all output:

lsb_release -a
uname -a
dpkg -l libtrmp0
apt-cache policy librtmp0
ls -la /usr/lib/*-linux-gnu/librtmp*
file /usr/lib/*-linux-gnu/librtmp*

Maybe this reveals something wrong with librtmp0.

Thanks,

see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pycurl/+bug/982436

issue this command:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i486-linux-gnu/librtmp.so.0 /usr/lib/librtmp.so.0

Hi Manfred,
Thanks a lot, finally it worked.
I am just wondering if its temporary solution?

Thanks again,
Pooja
