NO. I don't think this is the root problem. There is a file read by software-property* somewhere which is not utf-8 compliant. This problem came after a long working fine system with 16.04. locale didn't changed.
Could it be possible to output in the softawre-properties-tgk* code , the read failure "file name" which is in failure ? Telling it in the output could be helpfull to track problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1030471 Title: software-properties-gtk crashed with UnicodeDecodeError in record(): 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x92 in position 1017: invalid start byte To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-apt/+bug/1030471/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
