software-properties-gtk fails to run

[Tobiasz Jarczyk]

This happened when I tried to run software-properties-gtk from terminal.

dotnokato@none:~$ software-properties-gtk

I have just tried to reproduce, b ut could not.

Can you run from console

apt-get update

and then

apt-get dist-upgrade

and report back if this happends after a system newstart again?

Thank you for reporting so far.

If this happends again, please set the report back to new. When it is gone with the latest updates set it to Fix released.

[Sasa Paporovic (melchiaros)]

Sorry, I have ment

sudo apt-get update

and then

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

[Tobiasz Jarczyk (dotnokato-q)]

After upgrading, the bug still occurs.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

I also encountered this on my second fresh Quantal installation, taken from the Monday 20 Aug night's 'current' build, affecting a Compaq NC6320 laptop. My main installation on a desktop, running with daily updates since ~Alpha-2, shows no such issues.

Now that I am back in front of my laptop, here is the error message I am seeing, which has slight differences from the OP (same message, whether run under sudo or not):

Apport is now picking the crash up but is suggesting it is a duplicate of:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1028388
"software-properties-gtk crashed with KeyError in show_drivers(): 'model' "

[Tobiasz Jarczyk (dotnokato-q)]

Those Fontconfig warnings are a part of a different bug:
 #1034928 Fontconfig warning: Having multiple values in <test> isn't supported and may not works as expected

So the rest looks exactly the same.
