[Bug 1268134] Re: additional drivers tab crashes

[Joakim Fogelström Hardingz]

Yeah, I mean one of the things i absolutely do first after a Ubuntu
install is installing the graphics drivers. Now, of course, as i've been
on Ubuntu and Linux a few years i do know how to install from the
commandline which of course works fine (i tend to do this mostly). But
imagine someone going over from say WinXP and is completely new to
Ubuntu/Linux they _will_ use the GUI and this becomes a complete
blocker, really.

Title:
  additional drivers tab crashes

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

Bug description:
  There's a crash every time I open the additional drivers tab in
  software properties. It says "searching for additional drivers" and
  then the crash happens. I can reproduce it every time I try to open
  the additional drivers tab, which means the additional drivers tab
  doesn't work at all for me.

  No drivers are shown in the list, and when running software-
  properties-gtk from the terminal I can see the following output:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/GLib.py", line 634, in <lambda>
      return (lambda data: callback(*data), user_data)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 1323, in show_drivers
      (overall_status, icon, drivers) = self.gather_device_data(self.devices[device])
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 1277, in gather_device_data
      description = base_string.format(base_description=description, licence=licence)
  KeyError: 'license'
