[patch][hardy] jockey-gtk crashed with NameError in install_package()

I can confirm this with jockey-gtk0.1~r139 on Hardy Alpha.

Dell Inspiron 1501 w/ AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core CPU and ATI RADEON Xpress1150 256MB

When attempting to enable the restricted driver, package seems download to down load as expected, but then jockey crashes and the enabled can not be checked off.

See Bug #187184 for more out put from my crash. I couldn't figure out how to get the info from Apport with out first posting the bug then marking it as a duplicate of this one.

Can confirm same problem on Hardy Heron w/latest updates. Radeon X1600 w/512Mb

Jockey-gtk crashes because the file "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/jockey/oslib.py", does not import the "time" library.

Patch worked for me. Thanks.

I can also confirm that the patch works.

confirm patch works. important for install nvidia-drivers to use compiz.

I can confirm with NVIDIA driver as well. and on top of that I do not have the oslib.py file at all, so if someone can post the full file, I'd be looking a lot better at it.

confirm the same problem that is... need some further instruction on how to apply patch

confirm patch works as well. Thanks everyone for helping this newb

Jockey just got an update. It doesn't seem to include the patch from here, but looks like it has solved the problem in another way. Can any one else confirm that this update has fixed this issue?

jockey (0.1-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * First upstream release 0.1:
    - Add installed_packages status file, so that the ubiquity hook actually
      works.
    - Add test suite for GTK frontend (run through all widgets).
    - Import usable translations from restricted-manager.
    - Some internal code architecture cleanup.
    - Some bug fixes, particularly in FirmwareHandler and build system.
  * debian/rules: Remove POT on clean.

That's still an issue, I think. Thank you!

I just got this issue on a fresh installed Hardy 4 Alpha.

ii jockey-gtk 0.1-0ubuntu1 GNOME user interface and desktop integration

When I chose reboot the graphics got very messed up and I ended up with the prompt about if I wanted to configure X, run it in failsafe etc. After I manually chose the fglrx driver there it started.

It also crashes when I try to disable my fglrx driver. Martin, maybe this should be increased to critical as this probably affects everyone with a Nvidia card that is using the fglrx driver (that does a fresh install)?

Yes, the issue is still here. And yes, the patch works fine. Too bad the driver doesn't - but that's another issue. Off to file another bug report, I guess.

Attached a debdiff for the above patch. One of my first, so please review. Hope this helps.

Fixed in bzr head.

This bug was fixed in the package jockey - 0.2-0ubuntu1

---------------
jockey (0.2-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * New upstream bug fix release:
    - Do not create default handlers for nonexisting kernel modules.
      (LP: #187148)
    - Suppress exceptions (like SIGPIPE) in logging. (LP: #188658)
    - Enable UseEdidFreqs for legacy NVidia driver. (LP: #151141)
    - Set proper window icon. (LP: #187073)
    - Clean up strings in .desktop files (LP: #150205)
    - Fix test suite exit code on success.
    - Do not set AddARGB{,GLX}Visuals options in standard and new nVidia
      handler any more (obsolete).
    - Support hiding of help button if help is not available.
  * tests/oslib.py: Add simple tests for Ubuntu implementation of package
    system query functions.
  * jockey/oslib.py, package_description(): Do not crash when apt-cache show
    succeeds, but prints nothing. This works around apt bug #18306.
    (LP: #186943)
  * tests/oslib.py: Add shallow test cases for {install,remove}_packge() to
    ensure that they won't crash for the simplest reasons. This reproduces
    #186584.
  * jockey/oslib.py: Add missing import of time. (LP: #186584, #186883)
  * jockey/oslib.py, ui_help_available(): Only show help if yelp is present.
    (LP: #186179)
  * debian/rules: Run test suite during build (failure causes FTBFS).
