.py files won't execute
Admittedly not that well versed in Linux, but I can't seem to get the .py files to run. They are checked as "run as executable" but nothing happens. I've checked and the !# etc is at the beginning of the file. I didn't install Gloobus Preview but nothing I could find says you have to have it installed. I can't get the command ./autogen.sh to work as I think I have it installed/compiled but nothing works.
Unfortunately this program isn't designed with Linux newbies in mind.
Thanks for your reply.

Thank you for the reply.
Ok here is what I get when I do that, so perhaps this helps.
wayne@wayne-
./autogen.sh: line 3: aclocal: command not found
./autogen.sh: line 4: autoconf: command not found
./autogen.sh: line 5: automake: command not found
Running configure with arguments -prefix=/usr
./autogen.sh: line 7: ./configure: No such file or directory

you need automake and autoconf installed
I suppose you are an ubuntu user
so run from command line:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install automake
then try again ./autogen.sh .....

Ah ha didn't realize I was missing all that. I am using a variation on Ubuntu - Linux Mint.
However on first run I had no problem getting into the config and making changes. However after changing the skin it froze, not only that after I quit it and ran it again it freezes my whole computer. It also has reverted back to the skin it starts with, but I can't do anything, the computer is frozen. The mouse works, but I can't click on anything. The keys don't seem to make anything work either. Its very strange.
So now the program is compiled, but it freezes my pc up when I run it.

I just seen another post about the docky option creating a crash, I bet that is why since I had checked that. I'll check that post for a fix.
