Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[C de-Avillez (hggdh2)]

Setting to High, tagging rls-q-incoming, milestoning: got hit by this on the Quantal desktop ISO 20121005:

Steps:
1. boot from ISO
2. select to run Ubuntu
3. after a while, apport kicks in with this error. Selecting System Settings/Additional driver will, of course, produce the same error.

This is a bad user experience: the user is trying Ubuntu, and gets hit by this error.

I am pretty sure that this jockey-gtk bug is a false alarm, But there are already fewer of those than on 12.04. Rock on, gentlmen. But take a look anyway?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Hum, what iso did you boot? jockey got deprecated in favor of software-properties in quantal and should not be on the CD...

As per #6 above & OP never answered; so closing.
