Set to Critical. gnome-dvb-control crashes on startup in 12.04, marking the Gnome DVB tools unusable.

WORKAROUND:
Install the quantal version of python-gi and python-gobject from:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pygobject

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

WARNING:
The above workaround will break your package manager, making updates impossible. To undo it, run:
sudo apt-get install python-gobject/precise python-gi/precise

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

FIX:
A fix was uploaded to precise-proposed yesterday. If you're not using precise-proposed then you can still get the fix by downloading the packages version 3.2.2-1~precise from here:

This is fixed by the pygobject SRU in bug 999711 . Please test and report feedback here. Thanks!

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

I've been using the 3.2.2-1~precise packages for the past 3 days and they fix this bug perfectly.

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
