jockey-text and jockey-gui crash with failed assertions

[Victor Engmark]

I'm getting this error message:

$ jockey-gtk

I've tried `sudo apt-get install module-assistant` as suggested in <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/937325/comments/2>.

Possibly related language-selector bug <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+bug/1087452>.

[finn (finn-uni-bremen)]

Same here after installing proprietary AMD driver and then going back to the driver from the package sources.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Steven Johnson (shjohnson-pi)]

I had just enabled precise-proposed and updated, then jockey gave same error.

[Matt Walkerdine (mpwalkerdine-l)]

I'm also using precise-proposed, I get the same error. Radeon HD 6870.

[vinyloup (vincent-loupien)]

I'm also using precise-proposed (12.04.1) and i get the same error. I use an VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV610 video device [Radeon HD 2400 PRO]

[Florian W. (florian-will)]

Same problem with precise-proposed, the xorg-edgers PPA enabled and Radeon HD6870, but some line numbers are different in the first stack trace.

[StevenD811 (stevend811)]

I was able to get Jockey working again by removing a comma from line 24 of fglrx.py that appeared to be left over from a couple of strings being cut/pasted in revision 153 in precise-proposed.

[Kevin (kkd)]

I confirm StevenD911's patch solves the issue. Thanks!

[otto kleff (otto-kleff)]

I confirm that StevenD811s patch is working as well. THX Steven!

[StevenD811 (stevend811)]

Looks like the typos that caused this were fixed in 0.9.7-0ubuntu7.7. Marking "Fix Released" since this only affected -proposed to begin with.
