Bug#544009: [CRASH] Uncaught exception GError in Frontend/Gtk/ui.py:741

[Miles Bader]

Package: update-manager-gnome
Version: 0.200.0~rc1-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/pyshared/UpdateManager/Frontend/Gtk/ui.py


I don't know exactly what's going on, but update-manager fails to start no matter how I try to do it (via menu or command line or "sudo update-manager").

The error message I get is:

------------ start ------------ 
$ LANG=C sudo update-manager
error from gconf: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash.
