[linuxuser600 (linuxuser600)]

Same Problem here.

[Z Hespelt (zhespelt)]

Tried to run system testing after latest Jaunty upgrade, and it crashed.

[Alethea Mack (halow8888)]

Yep. Me too.

[Wickus Martin (wickus-martin)]

Same here.

[sombertattoo (glp)]

Very same problem. Update from 8.10 to 9.04. Tried the system testing. Crashed without GUI.

[PirBoazo (pierre-boizot-name)]

szaaaame problem with UNR version 9.04

[Wivern (wivern)]

8.10 to 9.04 alpha 6 update.

running "System testing" (checkbox-gtk) as regular user gives the same error.
but running as "root" works fine.

so for now I just changed the menu from "/usr/bin/checkbox-gtk" to "gksu /usr/bin/checkbox-gtk" and it works fine.

[Tadas Masiulionis (tadzikaz)]

Same problem

[Z Hespelt (zhespelt)]

Run crashed when I tried to run system testing.

[Meigs (meigs-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

Exactly the same problem here

[Jonas Diaz (jonasdiaz)]

One more, I have the same problem...

[Phil (pcorbett)]

same problem too!

[Randall (xrandallx2008)]

same prob here just happened i was wanting to be curious and see what it done and bam it crashed

[Z Hespelt (zhespelt)]

updated again this morning and rebooted. Run crashed again.

[macpablo (t-bordeleau)]

same here, even after todays updates.

[Rick McBride (rmcbride)]

seems to be dying trying to attach to dbus and getting access denied.

[amdefeo (amdefeo)]

I might as well jump on the band wagon.

Same problem.

[Jon Charge (seropith)]

Same issue.

[Joel zetterlund (joel-uusimaki)]

Same here.

[Marc Tardif (cr3)]

Could someone experiencing this problem please attach the configuration files from /etc/checkbox.d and also try running checkbox with debugging information: checkbox-gtk --log-level=debug

The reason I ask is that there have been other reports about configuration file management. So, if the backend manager which should be run as root is not blacklisted when running the checkbox client, then this might cause problems. Thanks for all the reports!

[Alethea Mack (halow8888)]

Surprise, surprise. I went to run it from terminal as:
checkbox-gtk --log-level-debug

It worked. I submitted it, and am attatching the checkbox.log anyway.

[amdefeo (amdefeo)]

This is what I got when I ran checkbox-gtk --log-level=debug

See attachment

[linuxuser600 (linuxuser600)]

when i run checkbox-gtk --log-level=debug it looks like this.

[Marc Tardif (cr3)]

Thank you very much for the above attachments. The problem seems to be related to the installation process which didn't override the configuration file. So, the backend manager is not being blacklisted and is attempted to be run as the user, whereas it should actually be run by dbus. For a temporary workaround until a new package is released, please try adding the following line in /etc/checkbox.d/checkbox.conf under the [checkbox/plugins] section:

blacklist = backend_manager

[Jonas Enge (jonas-enge)]

sudo nano /etc/checkbox.d/checkbox.ini

And add
blacklist = backend_manager

to [checkbox/plugins] section worked for me.

[Jeroen Hooyberghs (jeroen-linux)]

Adding the option worked here too.

[cheshirrrrre (cheshirrrrre)]

same here.

Nice!!!!

[Marc Tardif (cr3)]

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, I have just committed a fix which should prevent this problem from occuring again. I have basically removed ucf from the equation because there is currently no use case to modify the configuration file. So, instead of asking to keep the user's configuration or the package maintainer's, the latter configuration is always used.

[Peter (shewankao)]

Works well, thank!

Hi thank you for the e-mail!
Can I ask you something else? I'm new user and I instal the ubuntu 8.10 and
I feel very happy
with this edition!!!! everthing works great, at least that I check unless a
wifi adaptor realteck rtl 8187.
I try to instal a driver that I found in realtck site and then the adaptor
works but when I open the firefox
does not run (online but no upload-download...).
But the most important problem is that, I try to do a system hardware check
and the system start and when the sound check start
I hear a mistirious noise ksssksksks... and from then and after my sound
card has malfuction.. I have not sound, only
this ksksksskssks. Have you ever hear for that problem?

Thank you for listening me.

Then i add this fix from the comment above

/etc/checkbox.d/checkbox.ini

blacklist = backend_manager

... and the system testing works fine.

Segun lo que e verificado el inconveniente pareceria estar directamente en
gnome o algo similar por que al usar otro escritorio como kde o ligth.... me
funciona el sistema sin ningun problema menos la wireless. Seria bueno
solucionar el problema antes de la version final de Jaunty Jackalope...

[David Murphy (schwuk)]

@Paul, @Yohanes, @ludefork: Can you confirm which version of Checkbox you have (`dpkg -l | grep checkbox`), and can you attach your /etc/checkbox.d/checkbox.ini please.

Dave Murphy:

I've got checkbox 0.7.1.

See attach for checkbox.ini

Crashed again a few minutes ago while loading "System Testing". I had updated the 9.04 software before loading "System Testing."

[David Murphy (schwuk)]

@ludefork: You might have 0.7.1 installed, but your checkbox.ini is wrong (which is strange because 0.7.1 should replace that file). Can you replace the contents of /etc/checkbox.d/checkbox.ini with the following and re-test?

[DEFAULT]
version = 0.7
plugins = checkbox/plugins
registries = checkbox/registries

[checkbox/plugins]
blacklist = backend_manager
modules = %(checkbox_share)s/plugins/*.py

[checkbox/registries]
modules = %(checkbox_share)s/registries/*.py

[jem141 (jem141)]

It appears mine is wrong as well.

rugrat@jeff3:~$ cat /etc/checkbox.d/checkbox.ini
[DEFAULT]
version = 0.1-0ubuntu10
plugins = checkbox/plugins
registries = checkbox/registries

[checkbox/plugins]
blacklist = backend_manager
modules = %(checkbox_share)s/plugins

[checkbox/registries]
modules = %(checkbox_share)s/registries

Okay, I had the same trouble - replaced the checkbox.ini and it runs fine
Running 0.7.1... so I assume it was supposed to be replaced, but wasn't.

Re-installing and hand-editing the checkbox.ini config is a viable and working solution.

I just upgraded to Jaunty today and I had the same problem with System Testing crashing. It would only run if I ran it as root from the command line. I replaced the /etc/checkbox.d/checkbox.ini file with the one Dave Murphy suggested and the program works fine now. I am using x64 architecture on my PC. I guess the bad .ini file is still getting shipped with Jaunty. Here is an attachment of it.

[Myroslav (mgalan)]

I added the line blacklist = backend_manager to

/etc/checkbox.d/checkbox.ini and System Testing now works in Jaunty.

Same here. Just upgraded to Jaunty yesterday and checkbox-gtk doesn't run as user. The version installed was 0.7.1 (which is supposed to have the fix included). I guess it works for fresh installs but not for upgrades.

For the record, workaround (including blacklist line in config file) works.
