[Bug 1268134] Re: additional drivers tab crashes

[Josef Andersson]

Yes, the problem should  be fixed since some time ago, with licence and
nothing else:) see comment #19 for details.

"I've gotten this error on fresh installs of 14.04 on 3 out of 4 machines
now. "
Did you try doing this since the translations were fixed, IE sometime after comment #11 were done, or before?

I cant reproduce this error on 14.04 nor 13.10, since the fix. I just
tried a fresh 13.10 install, and it also works out of the box there, so
the fix done in comment #11 seems to be right.

Anyone STILL having this problem, NOT using a fresh install for 14.04
(maybe coming from an update of 13.x to 14.04) - please try the
suggested workaround in comment #21

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'

  Ubuntu release:
  Description:	Ubuntu 13.10
  Release:	13.10

  software-properties-gtk version 0.92.28
