SOLVED: Kickstart (system-config-kickstart) - Could not read video driver database

After I updated to Ubuntu 14.04 I tried to launch the Kickstart Configurator GUI and it wouldn't load.

Error Message: "Could not read video driver database"

# system-config-kickstart

(system-config-kickstart.py:18686): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/user/.config/ibus/bus is not root!
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-kickstart/system-config-kickstart.py", line 92, in <module>
    kickstartGui.kickstartGui(file)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-kickstart/kickstartGui.py", line 131, in __init__
    self.X_class = xconfig.xconfig(xml, self.kickstartData)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-kickstart/xconfig.py", line 80, in __init__
    self.fill_driver_list()
  File "/usr/share/system-config-kickstart/xconfig.py", line 115, in fill_driver_list
    raise RuntimeError, (_("Could not read video driver database"))
RuntimeError: Could not read video driver database
# 

This resolved my issue:

# apt-get remove hwdata
# wget ftp://mirror.ovh.net/mirrors/ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/h/hwdata/hwdata_0.234-1_all.deb
# dpkg -i hwdata_0.267-1_all.deb
# apt-get install system-config-kickstart 

Hope this helps you.
