Just installed Ubuntu 13.04 64 and decided to run 'System Testing'(in dash type 'system testing') but it doesn't seem to be working.

It's stuck at 'Gathering information from your system':

Try the following:

  • Kill all running instances of checkbox-qt: pkill checkbox-qt. Please note that a python process is also started, you have to kill that too:
$ ps fax | grep check
3796 pts/3    S+     0:00      \_ grep --color=auto check
3761 ?        Sl     0:00 python3 /usr/share/checkbox/run /usr/share/checkbox/config/checkbox-qt.ini
  • Start checkbox-qt from a terminal window. (By opening a terminal window and typing: checkbox-qt.)
  • Note the following output:
$ checkbox-qt
SYSTEM TESTING: Please enter your password. Some tests require root access to run 
properly. Your password will never be stored and will never be submitted with test 
results. PASSWORD:
  • Enter your password at the terminal and the test should continue.
