software-center crashed with AttributeError in _update_selected_row(): 'CellRendererAppView' object has no attribute 'application'

I got this crash when waking the laptop from hibernation (Asus Eee 1000H)

Thanks Sten, that is good information. This definitely looks like an issue that occurs with network events. We'll fix this one soon. Thank you again for your help!

exactly same situation, but instead of bibernation waking up the laptop from a standby. Dell Preciesion M2300

I got the same error after waking up my laptop from standby mode.

my netbook is an asus zenbook-UX31E. But i wasnt doing any shutown / standby / wakup action.
I just got installed flash plugin from sofware center, and then was trying to take a screenshot when the bug happen.

I had just come back from suspention on my laptop and software center crashed.
I was testing Precise Pangolin Beta 2 on my laptop: https://friendly.ubuntu.com/11.10/Hewlett-Packard/HP%20G62%20Notebook%20PC/I:NyVHp:BI:I8g:BVL:BFCp:h:B5G:DNO:BFC/.

This bug has been reported on the Ubuntu laptop testing tracker.

Software Center crashed after I plugged in a network cable.

My head's about to explode. This is just one of dozens of issues I'm having. I completely regret trying this out. How do I get back 11.10? I just want some peace and quiet and not have to worry about this BS.

I don't think this is related to network events, or laptops. I've had it hit three times in succession, and no indications of network errors. This is a desktop, so it's not laptop-specific either (for me at least). The install did seem to complete. It was just a magazine, and it's showing as installed.

Bumped to medium as this one is affecting a lot of people. I've started the fix, should be available soon.

damianmann, I'm very sorry for the annoyance you are experiencing! The "dozens of issues" that you mention, are they all in Software Center, or just having to do with your upgrade in general (and so in other areas of Ubuntu)? Have you had a chance to report them, and/or find that they've been reported so that you can add your "also affects me" vote. That helps us to know which bugs are the most important to target earliest.

Also, please be sure to keep updating as beta 2 is out and bug fixing is continuing at a fast clip in Ubuntu. Things will continue to get better and better.

Finally, if it is the apport dialog that is bothering you with this bug, please note that you can check the box to have apport ignore future occurances of this particular crash. That, at least, will take this one out of your annoyance list. :)

Thanks again for your comment, and I hope you'll be happy soon as Precise moves toward rock stable!

Ok, I can reliably reproduce this. I will put the steps to reproduce in the description now.

Hi again folks. The fix for this one is up for review and should be available soon. Thanks again!

Needed a deeper pygi fix and the fix is committed now. Thanks mvo!
