jockey-gtk crashed with NameError in install_package()

[Ryan Prior]

The restricted-manager popped up asking if I wanted to use more restricted drivers. I thought I'd try it out, so I popped it up and clicked the checkbox by the ATI driver option. I hit Apply, and Apport pops up to tell me that things aren't going so hot.

Duplicates of bug 186584. Fixed in bzr head.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package jockey - 0.2-0ubuntu1

---------------
jockey (0.2-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * New upstream bug fix release:
    - Do not create default handlers for nonexisting kernel modules.
      (LP: #187148)
    - Suppress exceptions (like SIGPIPE) in logging. (LP: #188658)
    - Enable UseEdidFreqs for legacy NVidia driver. (LP: #151141)
    - Set proper window icon. (LP: #187073)
    - Clean up strings in .desktop files (LP: #150205)
    - Fix test suite exit code on success.
    - Do not set AddARGB{,GLX}Visuals options in standard and new nVidia
      handler any more (obsolete).
    - Support hiding of help button if help is not available.
  * tests/oslib.py: Add simple tests for Ubuntu implementation of package
    system query functions.
  * jockey/oslib.py, package_description(): Do not crash when apt-cache show
    succeeds, but prints nothing. This works around apt bug #18306.
    (LP: #186943)
  * tests/oslib.py: Add shallow test cases for {install,remove}_packge() to
    ensure that they won't crash for the simplest reasons. This reproduces
    #186584.
  * jockey/oslib.py: Add missing import of time. (LP: #186584, #186883)
  * jockey/oslib.py, ui_help_available(): Only show help if yelp is present.
    (LP: #186179)
  * debian/rules: Run test suite during build (failure causes FTBFS).

The new 0.2-0ubuntu2 release doesn't solve the reported bug here! See Christian Hille's [url=https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189267]bug 189267[/url].
Status back to confirmed?

[Kivech (kivech-deactivatedaccount)]

I just ran into this bug after I completely updated a clean install.

Since the fix should be about a month old, I recon it should have been in Hardy now, but obviously this bug is still present.

At this point I cannot install proprietary drivers through the Hardware Driver manager.

This was while trying to install the ATI driver which worked perfectly before the last updates on my system.

[Kivech (kivech-deactivatedaccount)]

Changed status to incomplete since fix didn't work or bug resurfaced in last updates.

[Brad Needham (needham-brad)]

affects nvidia now as well :-)

[sonnyg95 (sonnyg95)]

I can confirm that it affects nvidia now as well. It crashed on me when I tried to install restricted driver for mines.

[sonnyg95 (sonnyg95)]

Its worth noting that last night, I was able to successfully install my nvidia card's restricted driver without this problem. After the restart, I also used envy to update the driver. Unfortunately performance was laggy so I uinstalled the driver this morning with envy and found I had to reinstall the restricted driver. And now here I am.

[SethWoodworth (seth-woodworth)]

I can confirm the jockey-gtk error with nvidia cards: here is my trackback

I will attempt to install the latest in bzr.

Agreed, crashing for me on amd64 when enabling Nvidia restricted drivers

[randalotto (randalotto)]

I got identical output to SethWoodworth

[chrisolof (chrisolof)]

Just got this crash trying to install the nVidia proprietary driver- really wanted to get desktop effects working here. . . Using Ubuntu 8.04 beta and fully updated.

[sonnyg95 (sonnyg95)]

If you really want the desktop effects, one alternative is to use EnvyNG to
install the latest Nvidia drivers for you. It worked for me, although I
have to say on my notebook, the visual effects is kind of jumpy.

Chrisolof, you can use envy to install the nvidia driver. It worked for mines, although on my notebook, the desktop effects are laggy.

[Anders (andersja+launchpad-net)]

Running a fully updated Hardy 8.04 I encountered this just now, while trying to install nvidia driver using restricted modules manager. (In fact, I'm quite sure I had it installed in the past while on 7.04 and 7.10 - not sure why it wasn't installed or recognized any more).

[sami (sami-partanen)]

The same story 3 hours ago, but trying to install Broadcom B43 driver

[Fox (foxmaulder-1974)]

Same thing here. I think it may be caused by the latest kernel update. I had installed Hardy 3 days ago, fully updated it and the Nvidia driver installed fine. The next day, I tried Kubuntu Hardy, same results but Kubuntu was using over 50% of my 1.5 gigs of memory idle so I switched back to Ubuntu Hardy yesterday, updated it and now it crashes when trying to activate the driver. Envy works fine but it never did work with my ATI card.

[Nelly (nst-freeuk)]

I had this problem on an IBM thinkpad R31 when I tried to install b43
wireless drivers using the proprietary hardware driver alert on toolbar
after install.

I solved the driver problem by using synaptic to install b43-fwcutter -
perhaps it was something in the 260mb download of updates waiting after
install!

I have the same issue with my broadcom wireless card, when activating jockey-gtk crash with the "env is not defined"

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

This got fixed this morning. Sorry for the trouble!

  * jockey/oslib.py: Fix undeclared 'env' variable, residue from fix in

[Pres-Gas (presgas)]

Trying to implement nvidia drivers and getting this error. Just updated jockey last night (now version 0.3.3-oubuntu4).

[Pres-Gas (presgas)]

Of course, I spoke too soon. 0.3.3-oubuntu5 fixed.
