Here is a workaround. This does not fix the code but resolves the null pointer that results from looking for the non-existent '<date>...</date>' tag, which was removed in gnome at some point. IMHO it would be great for someone to rewrite in something other than Mono...
> sudo gvim /usr/share/gnome/gnome-version.xml add the following line: <date>2018-04/30</date> So the file reads something like this: ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <gnome-version> <platform>3</platform> <minor>18</minor> <micro>2</micro> <distributor>Ubuntu</distributor> <date>2018-04/30</date> </gnome-version> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575182 Title: sysinfo crashes on ubuntu 16.04 (since upgrade) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysinfo/+bug/1575182/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
