software-center crashed with DBusException in call_blocking()

[dowat]

Binary package hint: software-center

I purchased a new ubuntu 10.10 & mint 10 cd last week in the hope I could clear the shadowed bios/video that seems to have corrupted 13 laptop bios in the past 2 years. I have isolated the problem to either the ramfs has a executable suid ro cache and or a remote installed system bios neither of which clear after shutting down a live session.
the bug automaticly sets all the modes and connects through pppd using ieee (experimental) and begins tx/rx data packets via streaming with or without being connected to the internet. (cdc_adm?? ring any bells)

if you need more info I have screen shots on my blackberry I can forward from there if supplied with an address. send to d_nelson AT vzw DOT blackberry net
