Bug Description

Binary package hint: dbus

since yesterday at about 23:30 CET, I got this error-message in the Terminal:

Error org.freedesktop.org.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launchelper exited with unknown returncode 1

This continues since then through all upgrades since this time.

Then I found out, that this bug seems to have something to do with sysinfo. Because as soon as I start this programm and klick on the first point where it sys "system", the program closes and gives the following Output in the Terminal:

GConf.NoSuchKeyException: Key '/apps/sysinfo/window_width' not found in GConf
  at GConf.Client.Get (System.String key) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
  at Sysinfo.Sysinfo..ctor (System.String[] args) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

  Note: Applications can use GLib.ExceptionManager.UnhandledException to handle the exception.

   at Gtk.Application.Run()
   at Sysinfo.Sysinfo..ctor(System.String[] args)
   at Sysinfo.Sysinfo.Main(System.String[] args)

Then I checked the other programs installed, but couldn't discover any other thing, so I can say, that the system itself runs normal and also do the other programs installed.

So my questions would be:
where does the above mentioned Error-message come from and is it necessary to act in any way or is it necessary to do anything??

Then I want to add some information about my system:

System: Maverick Meerkat (Ubuntu 10.10)

Hi. I noticed the output from sysinfo is identical to the output posted in bug 596727. I am unsure if the first error ("Error org.freedesktop.org.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launchelper exited with unknown returncode 1") is related to this, though.

I don't know that ether. If this really is a dublicate, then add it to the other bug. But your idea should be cleared up first.

Thank yopu for taking your time, to fix this error.
For giving more detail, the same thing happens on LinuxMint 10. So this is not only an ubuntu-related error it seems.

I'm sorry for being unclear. I added a comment about the other error on bug 596727, but judging from comment #28 it turns out to be unrelated. Unfortunately, this means you will need to report a separate bug if this is still happening.
Thanks again for reporting this issue, and I hope you will continue to report bugs in the future.
