..and now I can vouch for the veracity of the cache removal. It does indeed reproduce the crash.
If software center is crashing: * comment out "self.exhibit_banner.set_exhibits([FeaturedExhibit()])" in lobbyview.py * start software center (it runs) * stop software center * uncomment "self.exhibit_banner.set_exhibits([FeaturedExhibit()])" in lobbyview.py * start software center (it runs) * stop software center * rm ~/.cache/software-center/piston-helper/* * start software center (it crashes) ..I'm not sure I did the stack trace correctly. I installed apport- retrace then ran apport-cli and updated the crash report with debug symbols. ** Attachment added: "stack trace" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1163886/+attachment/3734669/+files/_usr_share_software-center_software-center.1000.crash -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1163886 Title: software-center crashed with signal 5 with WebKit 2.0+ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1163886/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
