Comment 0 for bug 1175458

  I tried both update and new install of Ubuntu 13.04 with all updates applied. In both cases clicking on "load" in AptonCD does nothing. In previous versions of Ubuntu I've had a similar problem and installing "HAL" has fixed this issue. I read somewhere on the internet that HAL isn't used anymore and I didn't see it in the list of required packages, but went ahead and installed it anyway. Still nothing happens. The installed AptonCD package is "aptoncd_0.1.98+bzr117-1.2_all.deb".
  If I run AptonCD using the terminal then press the load button I get the following messages:
