I'm still getting this error after an upgrade to 13.10 yesterday. Status says that a fix has been released. How can I get that fix? Sorry for the n00b question, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Mike, et. al,

The Fix Released version is for 14.04. A bamf SRU (Stable Release Update) will need to be prepared for 13.10 in order for this to be fixed in Ubuntu. I've nominated this fix for Saucy, but it is up to the Ubuntu distro team to take the fix and prepare the SRU. We have done all we can upstream to fix this for 13.10.

Thanks!

This bug also affects to me. Everty time I poweron the mechine, this bug happen to occur.
Now I can not use Ubuntu any more, because I can not open any Apps on Graphic mode. I only can use it in traditional terminal mode(Ctrl_alt_f1).

wait for the release version.

Hi Christopher,

In the mean time, do you know of anything special about the fix which makes it difficult/impossible to get running on a 13.10 box? That is, if the more dev-savvy of us were to pull/rebuild the BAMF daemon on our own 13.10 machines, should it work?

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Benjamin,

For 13.10, you can get the lp:bamf/0.5 branch which has this fix and build/install it.
