The commenting of the suggested line makes no sense, looking into the code. It is completely unrelated to the display of images which are downloaded. Even with that line commented, the featured items exhibit images will still be downloaded, and will still be displayed. The FeaturedExhibit() is a simple object, to let the software center display a default featured items image, while none have yet been downloaded, or in the event there are none to display. It does not connect to the network, or depend on any cached images. It points at an image file which is included directly in the software-center package, and which should always exist.
Removing the cache directory as mentioned, also does not induce a crash for me, albeit I am on 13.04 and not using the GNOME 3 PPA. Is there a way to reproduce this crash on 13.04 without the GNOME 3 PPA? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1163886 Title: software-center crashed with signal 5 with the GNOME3 PPA on 13.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1163886/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
