Bug Description

Tried adding the ppa ppa:fs-icons-ubuntu/unstable.
Seemed to not be responding to the regular [ENTER] key press, so I pressed it again and about half a second later was hit by this error and some bug information in terminal,which I just now realized may have been a good idea to have copied before closing the window. Tried once more and it was successful.
