Title:
trying to install psychonauts enters infinite crash loop
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
WORKAROUND:
Until this bug is fixed, you can install Psychonauts using a terminal as
shown:
$ sudo apt-get install psychonauts
---
Installing Psychonauts from the Ubuntu Software Center eventually (after
downloading) caused the software center to repeatedly crash and pop up a new
crash report dialog every few seconds (before previous ones were closed). Had
to killall -9 software-center and apport-gtk.
After this happened, simply launching the software center caused the
crash loop to happen again. Launching and killing it a few times seems
to have fixed it.
Also, the size of the psychonauts package is reported as 134.9 MB in
stead of 4.1 GB.
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
Ubuntu Software Center version 5.2.2.2
