[Bug 1268134] Re: additional drivers tab crashes

[Joakim Fogelström Hardingz]

Josef, i am still having this issue on my fresh install of 14.04 (no
upgrade from 13.10). The current version of the language packs on my
system is 1:14.04+20140410 so they are the most recent afaik. I can't
reproduce the bug in Virtualbox or on my netbook with open-source
graphics drivers. But on my desktop and my laptop both using nVidia, and
on a friends desktop with a Radeon card softwareproperties crash on
searching for driver. In all 3 cases, my "workaround" has solved this
issue. It leads me to believe that it gets triggered if: 1, Language is
set to Swedish, and 2, options to use proprietary graphics drivers are
available. But we should really get more people involved to test this, i
think...

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'
