Bug Description

Binary package hint: kgrubeditor

Found on latest Intrepid Ibex, last updated a few minutes ago.

kgrubeditor:
  Installed: 0.8.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.8.1-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.8.1-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://at.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Upon opening kgrubeditor, either through kickoff or systemsettings, I'm asked for my password. Upon entering it, I'm shown the installed OS' for one second or less, then Kgrubeditor crash.

Here is the output when run from a terminal:

$ kcmshell4 kgrubeditor

I hope the fixed version makes it into Intrepid, because I can reproduce this consistently whenever 3 or more image files are present in /boot/grub/splashimages, and this means that simply having kubuntu-grub-splashimages installed makes KGrubEditor crash on startup 100% of the time.

@Connor Kirwan: That's it. The splashimages cause the crashes. I just verified this by removing the images from /boot/grub/splashimages, adding them one by one and strarting kgrubeditor after each image. After the fourth image, kgrubeditor crashed.

Fixed since yesterday's update (though I haven't updated the past weekend, so the fix may have been released sooner).
