Ubuntu Tweak crash after install in Ubuntu 12.04 system76 laptop

[Leo]

Got it running in a Dell XPS 1530 without issues on Ubuntu 12.04. Maybe something related to System76 custom drivers?

Here is the print out from running ubuntu-tweak -d on the System76 machine:

Thanks for your report. This may related to system76's customization file.

Could you upload this file? /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/system76-touchpad.gschema.override

[Leo (leopoldo-pena)]

Here is the file.
Also started a thread in system76 forums about this issue.

[Ding Zhou (tualatrix)]

Thanks.

It seems the file has some format issue, the tab isn't needed before the line.

Please use my new file to override the old one.

And I will also try to fix it on Ubuntu Tweak, to avoid crash if meet this kind of file.

[Leo (leopoldo-pena)]

That worked!

Manually removed the tabs and now Ubuntu-tweak works.
Thanks for the help and keep up the good work!

I have tried to find the CORRECT & OTHER bug report that I put against this issue ie ubuntu-tweak crashes whilst attempting to clean kernels in Janitor mode.

I can't find it.

I can't even to get Launchpad to even recognize this similar bug-report.

So I give up. I unsubscribe.

I will stop using ubuntu-tweak until I see something in the plethora of the Interwebz that suggest that is has been repaired.
