[Bug 1021733] Re: Complete the Additional Drivers implementation

[Martin Pitt]

As for NoReply, there are three common causes:

- aptdaemon crashes in the middle of an operation. Do you get an apport
crash report when this happens?

- You call the operation synchronously. This should not be done, call it
async and then have aptdaemon call a result callback.

- You keep the aptdaemon d-bus object around for a long time, while
aptdaemon timed out regularly (after some minutes of inactivity).
However, this actually ought to result in a ServiceNotFound exception,
or should even re-activate the daemon through D-BUS.

NB I haven't looked at the source code at all.

Title:
  Complete the Additional Drivers implementation

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I've started implementing the design in
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareAndUpdatesSettings#drivers ; devices
  can be listed on systems that require binary drivers, and the new tab
  is there with the basic UI bits.

  What's left to be done:
   - Testing, testing, testing.
   - Figure out what is being done wrong  that causes the crash in comment #2.
   - Make sure the cases for multiple devices (wifi, graphics) all need custom drivers.
   - Update status text below each device on their status.
   - Use real icons provided by the design team
