udev_resource crashed with Exception in devices()

[Paul]

Binary package hint: checkbox

I believe the problem was triggered by checkbox. I was notified of the crash upon launching checkbox. checkbox itself seems to continue without any trouble, except that it generates bad XML and refuses to send the final report, claiming that I haven't logged into LaunchPad (even though I have).

Running Lucid UNR 03/26 daily build. checkbox version 0.9.

I'm running Ubuntu-Netbook 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Beta i386 (20100318) on Dell Mini 10v. Got this problem too.

I have the problem in 10.5 beta amd_64 running in a VM (under 9.0.4 amd_64)

[Donald A. Tevault (donniet-tds)]

This happened to me when I opened the "System Testing" utility.

I saw this bug in an up-to-date lucid system, when doing a monitor test with an external VGA monitor connected on a dell mini 1012.

[Marc Tardif (cr3)]

This problem has been fixed in the trunk and a candidate revision has been proposed for Maverick. Once it has been accepted, I will propose an SRU for Lucid. Thanks for reporting this bug!

[Neal McBurnett (nealmcb)]

Cool - thanks for the quick progress!

I also just noticed that after encountering this bug, the python checkbox backend process is running 100% cpu in the background, so folks might want to watch for that until the fix lands in lucid.

[Marc Tardif (cr3)]

Yes, that's a well known problem which is actually the most critical for pushing the latest changes as an SRU to Lucid. Hopefully, this will happen soon.

[Ara Pulido (ara)]

This was fix released in Maverick

lucid has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the lucid task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
