Attached is a patch to fix this. It could do with checking by somebody more familiar with hwdb than I am.
As far as I can tell, the bug is caused by: 1) clicking the next button during data assembly (as in comment 2) 2) anything else that stops /tmp/hwdb_data.xml being created (e.g. you can manually delete the file) So the patch: 1) disables the next button during data assembly 2) catches errors in creating the md5 checksum The patch *doesn't*: - fix the similar problem in gnome hwdb (bug #83267) - do anything about other causes and results of the data file not being created (e.g. bug #108337) Also, it uses hashlib, which is new in python 2.5. I don't imagine that'll be an issue at all with gutsy, but the dependencies will need changing. [or I could rewrite to work with older pythons, of course] If the patch seems OK, let me know and I'll do the same to the gnome version. ** Attachment added: "error-checking for md5sum creation" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7670141/md5sum.patch ** Tags added: patch -- [apport] hwdb-kde crashed with IndexError in sendData() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106331 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug assignee. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
