[Bug 1268134] Re: additional drivers tab crashes

[Joakim Fogelström Hardingz]

I've gotten this error on fresh installs of 14.04 on 3 out of 4 machines
now. The only one that didn't get this error with was on a netbook using
open source intel graphics. The other 3 was Nvidia and AMD graphics. So,
in my short experience, this error is triggered whenever options to use
proprietary graphics drivers are available.

Still, changing "licence" to something else solves my problem and i
really can't figure out why...

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'
