Bug Description

Binary package hint: screen-resolution-extra

The scripts in /usr/share/screen-resolution-extra/ import gtk, but the python-gtk2 package is not installed by default on kubuntu. This should be added as a dependency to this package.

The following error is from trying to save xorg.conf from nvidia-settings when python-gtk2 is missing:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/screen-resolution-extra/nvidia-polkit.py", line 20, in <module>
    import gtk, gobject, sys, dbus, logging, os, re
ImportError: No module named gtk

After installing python-gtk2, everything is fine.

This bug was fixed in the package screen-resolution-extra - 0.14ubuntu2

---------------
screen-resolution-extra (0.14ubuntu2) precise; urgency=low

  * Finish conversion to dh_python2. Fixes issue where none of
    screen-resolution-extra's files are installed, which prevents nvidia
    config from making changes to xorg.conf.
    (LP: #913690)
  * Add dependency on policykit-gnome since some scripts use gtk policykit,
    which won't work on KDE where gtk2 may not be installed by default.
