Bug Description
Binary package hint: hal-device-manager
i'm using:
1) ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy)
2) hal-device-manager 0.5.9.1-6ubuntu5
i'm trying to launch "Hardware Information" from System->Preferences and the app's window pops up for a very short amount of time and immediately dissappears
this used to work before and noticed it doesn't [anymore] just after an auto-update [the latest, which, if i'm not mistaken, was a security update for the kernel and some other stuff]
