I have installed the source code of sysinfo and done some debugging
I used
- sudo apt-get build-dep sysinfo
- sudo apt-get source sysinfo
to get the sources
I then ran
- sh ./configure
- make
make failed and this seems to be linked to a double + on line 294 of
Sysinfo/SystemInfo.cs
I removed 1 of the two pluses and then make finished OK -> is the source
code in the repositories incorrect ??
Adding some debugging displays it seems the crash is caused by code in
Sysinfo/NvidiaInfo.cs in function AditionaInfo()
This functions gets three information items by running nvidia-settings
with different parameters and then parsing the output to extract the
information.
One information that is queried is BusRate
However, nvidia-settings -q BusRate produces no output (it seems that this is
not supported (anymore ?) by nvidia-settings
removing the code to get BusRate from this function makes the crash
disappear and everything works OK.
