Title:
software-center crashed with DBusException in
_convert_dbus_exception(): org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod:
Method "GetAll" with signature "s" on interface
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
While using BBC News website, I was told that I didn't have the required
Firefox plugin to play an embedded video clip. I clicked on a link that took
me to the Adobe website, where I was given the choice of formats in which to
download the plugin. I chose the APT format which was opened by Software
Center.
Software Center opened and told me that another version was available in the
repository. There was one button marked 'Use this source' (or similar) which I
clicked. The next page had a large 'Not Found' message and a short sentence
stating that there isn't a software package called 'adobe-flashplugin' in my
current software sources.
At this point apport started and told me that Software Center had crashed.
However, the 'Install' button was there and 'adobe-flashplugin' had 4 out of
5 stars - not bad for a piece of software that doesn't exist! I clicked the
button and it seemed to install. I finally clicked on the link at the Adobe
website again and Software Center said that it had installed. Rather
confusing, to say the least! Will restart Firefox and post whether the plugin
had in fact installed or not.
