jockey-gtk crashed with DBusException in call_blocking()

I've got same problem.

I've got the same exact problem, see the duplicate bug please.

This started happening when I compiled my own driver for my alfa wifi card

I confirmed it also

I updated today and at system start suddenly I got several crashes... More than that, I don't know

Same problem here.

when logged in , it began to pop up crash reports.. i launched firefox when this happened

yep - same issue here

I have found this happens with both jockey-gtk and jockey-kde on my system (up to date as of an hour ago).

Yeah same here, i have this bug to

Problem still present in the 2008/08/15 daily build.

Happened when I tried to login to bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu to report another bug, (how's that for timing! ;) ).

I get this when I try to enable desktop-effects. Appears seemingly random at other times, too.

I got this error message while loading the 64 bit live CD.

I've got an error after restarting X

I had this with totem G-streamer, probably by setting resolution too high. Card was not detected, I had to configure manually or go for low graphics mode.

I am using Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD, when my error arrived. No other problems. It is running on an AMD64 2.5Ghz Dual Core Athlon X2, 4Gb RAM, NVidia 512Mb Graphics,

crashed here aswell. unable to activate nvidia driver (177).

This is also happening on my system. Ubuntu 8.10 amd64
Seems like this is related to Bug #252210, though that one hasn't been updated in a while.

The same to me! I can not stand without nvidia driver.

confirm kubuntu 8.10 full updated

I got this error too

I got this too, but apport doesnt appear in gnome, only under XFCE...

I had this bug in gnome.

I get this bug too in 8.10 Xubuntu, installed using alternate installer. It was the daily build from 31/08/08, with all updates. It seems to crash soon after login.

I got this error after a clean upgrade installation
during the install of nvida driver through restricted manager.

again for f-spot in 8.10

its still here after today updates

This has come up for me too, after upgrading to ibex.

Intrepid up-to-date

This found in Intrepid Alpha 5 AMD64 bit Kernel 2.6.27-2-generic while trying to install nVidia restricted drivers for nVidia Geoforce 7600 GS card. On initial attempt to install, Unable to report message displayed (see attachment) and software backport updates not enabled. These were enabled and the PC rebooted before getting the current jockey error.

I had this problem as well on the live disc of Intrepid alpha 5 (x86).

I saw this problem today, after an Intrepid update/upgrade.

same here, after update of Intrepid, AMD64 bit Kernel 2.6.27-2-generic, restricted nvidia driver

The indicated error in the jockey-<frontend> seems to be caused by jockey-backend script not finishing it's initialization stage, thus doesn't respond to frontend requests.

The jockey-backend script appears to be hanging in jockey.detection._get_printers(), while waiting on cups.Connection().getDevices(). In fact, the cupsd process goes to 100% CPU usage ocasionally and needs restart, so the real problem is probably in the cups/cups-client and jockey fails as a side-effect.

Forcing _get_printers() to return an empty set immediately after docstring works for me as a workaround for this issue.

Version info:
ii cups-bsd 1.3.8-7
ii cups-client 1.3.8-7
ii cups-common 1.3.8-7
ii cups-driver-gutenprint 5.2.0~beta4-0ubuntu1

Thanks to post above i cured my ill Jockey by turning on cups-service (i had it turned off).

I experienced the same doing an apt-get upgrade from CLI on Xubuntu Intrepid with kernel 2.6.27-2-generic.
Unlike the previous poster I already had CUPS running.
If more information is required, please request it and I'll try to provide it.
