Description Jan Lübbe 2012-08-17 08:44:16 UTC 
I'm using the hob included in denzil-7.0.1 (although the bug is already present in 7.0.0).

When I start hob and select my machine from the drop down menu, it will start parsing recipes. After some percent it aborts with an warning/error dialog which contains no text and only a "close" button. Selecting "close" reverts the machine choice.

Based on a recommendation from bluelightning in the #yocto channel, I tried "MACHINE=mymachine bitbake -p" to check my meta-data. This works fine and shows no errors.

Also I can build images by using bitbake directly.

How can i find out what the cause of this empty error dialog is?

Regards,
Jan

This maybe a dup of 2983 and once fixed in master need to pull into denzil as well
