SysPeek Indicator does not install or work in 12.04

[Mark Kelley]

This indicator (version 0.2) works well in Oneiric, but does not work at all in Precise. It won't even work enough to use apport to report it.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

I know YOU think you have a system in which it is easy to report bugs, but as I'm learning it is anything but! What if apport won't pick it up because it won't even install? Then I have to enter it as a new bug ... but then you insist on a package or a project - but how do I know what those are? You're gonna end up with a buggy product if you don't let people report what is really happening. I know it helps those fixing the bugs to have more information, but sometimes there just isn't anymore. Sorry, but this is frustrating; I've been trying for several days to report some particular bugs that don't seem to fall into convenient cagegories.

I use the syspeek ppa in precise but change it to point to oneiric and it works fine.
I just wish it would be in the precise repo.

Peng: Perfect! Yes, pointing it to Oneiric worked like a charm. Thanks!
