Back In Time

Error on startup on KDE

Asked by Mauriziopz

Hi
I recently installed backintime on my kubuntu 8.10 box but I get this error while trying to start it up.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/backintime/kde4backintime.py", line 1006, in <module>
    kapp, kaboutdata = create_kapplication( cfg )
  File "/usr/share/backintime/kde4backintime.py", line 966, in create_kapplication
    line = line.strip()
AttributeError: strip

Can you help me?

I'm using kde 4.2
thanks

Is there a way to have it print more debug information? If you tell me how, I could do it
