Shyam, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue in Precise+? If so, could you please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:
