Public bug reported:
In Hardy The Hardware Information tool crashes on startup.
The package (I think) is hal-device-manager.
Dist:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04
When I try to launch Hardware Information from "System > Preferences" ,
I get a brief flash of a window, then it disappears. When I press the
~"report the bug" buton, I get a crash report dialogue saying:
============
The problem cannot be reported:
You have some obsolete package versions installed. Please upgrade the
following packages and check if the problem still occurs:
libpam-modules, libpam0g, udev, libpam-runtime, libgnomeui-common,
libpango1.0-common, xbase-clients, x11-common, python-gobject, initramfs-tools,
libsasl2-2, libsasl2-modules, libvolume-id0, libxft2, libpango1.0-0,
libgnomeui-0
============
(I did have dual boot ubuntustudio and generic)
This is after I have upgraded from gutsy and rebooted several times. The
problem wasn't there when I first rebooted after the upgrade (I know
because I used Hardware Information to check some things) but it
appeared a day after I upgraded. (???)
The actual bug in my eyes is that Hardware Information gives a crash
screen instead of displaying whatever it can - that the UI dies when a
problem is encountered.
The other bug which I don't know where to report is that after
upgrading, I need to download an additional ~200MB to fix this bug -
rather than _all_ of my system being upgraded.
This may well be an upgrade bug?
