nominated for oneiric and set importance to high due to the increasing number of duplicates.

Still crashing on Oneiric i386

[Kenny Strawn (realkstrawn93)]

I am also getting this problem on the Daily Live CD, and (for me) it is leading to no Internet access, as my network adapter needs the Broadcom STA driver to work. Fix ASAP, please.

[Kenny Strawn (realkstrawn93)]

If the person who reported this bug also experienced it in Maverick as well, it must be a regression, so I tagged it as such.

[Kenny Strawn (realkstrawn93)]

Attaching a log file containing the copied function that is causing the crash

[Kenny Strawn (realkstrawn93)]

It appears that the Jockey crash is because it calls a D-Bus function with an error in it.

[Kenny Strawn (realkstrawn93)]

In particular, Python seems to error out on this variable within that function:

reply_message = self.send_message_with_reply_and_block(
            message, timeout)

I suppose putting this on one line instead of two might fix the problem, though I don't know for sure.

[Kenny Strawn (realkstrawn93)]

Okay, maybe (according to the crash report) we need to define Jockey's call in /lib/systemd/system/dbus.service, as the error causing this bug is saying that Jockey's service call is undefined in any .service files.

[Kenny Strawn (realkstrawn93)]

Natty's "call_blocking()" definition is identical to Maverick's and Oneiric's, and it causes no problems with Jockey. So, I suppose switching back to Python 2.7 (instead of 2.6) for dbus might fix the problem.

[Kenny Strawn (realkstrawn93)]

Apparently, the Oneiric backtrace has 2.7 in it (the other is a Maverick backtrace), so reverting this change...

[Kenny Strawn (realkstrawn93)]

The Oneiric traceback is what I am attaching...

[dino99 (9d9)]

wonder if python-all need to be installed

python-all: dependency of python-minimal

python-minimal: breaks python-all <2.6, but OPneiric now have 2.7.2-5ubuntu1

 affects jockey
 status invalid

 affects ubuntu/jockey
 status fixreleased

I found out what happened here. Fixed in

jockey (0.9.4-0ubuntu3) oneiric; urgency=low

  * jockey/ui.py, jockey/backend.py: Use MainLoop from GObject, not from GLib.
    Using GLib is broken for pygobject 2.28. This can be reverted once
    pygobject gets upgraded to 2.90. (LP: #836599)

(Unfortunately I typed a duplicate bug # into the changelog, as this
one just times out in Launchpad).

[bash321 (bash321)]

The fix works!!!

I don't really know how should I get the fix. I just updated and ran the dis-upgrade also. I also installed the new drivers for Virtualbox and indeed there are some fixes, as Unity now works with Compiz, but I just got this crash and Apport got me to this page.

Is there something else I should do? Thanks!

[Xavier Bassery (xaba)]

@florin: check the version of jockey installed on your system
   dpkg --status jockey-gtk
If it is behind 0.9.4-0ubuntu3, it means that your apt mirror is not up-to-date.
Try another mirror or wait till it is updated.

[florin (florin-arjocu)]

Actually after one more restart it worked. Just checked and it's version 0.9.4-0ubuntu3.

Just some less obvious bugs (CTRL+V not working in Nautilus, etc.) and Oneiric get closer to a stable and nicer Ubuntu! :)

Thanks!

[Kenny Strawn (realkstrawn93)]

Downloading a new ISO of Oneiric (Daily 20110831) to test the fix...

[Supun Rathnayake (supunr)]

applied all the updates, and now it seems fixed !! , no more crashes ...
keep up the good work, getting better day by day , eagerly waiting for the final version.

[nochka85 (nochka85)]

It has just crashed for me ... with all available updates installed

[Zbigniew Braniecki (zbraniecki)]

just reproduced after update and restart
