Just got another one of these. There seem to be two problems here, one of them being gnome-app-install crashing when some background command malfunctions as happened here. GAI tried to install some gstreamer codec:
gstreamer-codec-install --transient-for=79691807 'gstreamer|0.10 |rhythmbox-metadata|application/x-tar decoder|decoder-application/x-tar' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/gstreamer-codec-install", line 30, in <module> main() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/AppInstall/activation.py", line 470, in main style = CodecSearchActivationStyle(options, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/AppInstall/activation.py", line 149, in __init__ SearchActivationStyle.__init__(self, 'codec', options) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/AppInstall/activation.py", line 107, in __init__ self._db = gdbm.open(db_name, 'rfu') gdbm.error: (2, 'No such file or directory') OK, that went wrong. These things happen, but GAI should not crash... Now to find the root cause of the gstreamer bug... -- gnome-app-install crashed with error in __init__() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177973 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
