Easy ubuntu won't launch in Feisty

Asked by Barking Spider

I just upgraded to Feisty and installed Easy Ubuntu. It's icon shows up in the Application > System Tools but when I click it it doesn't run. I ran it from the terminal and got this response:

sudo easyubuntu
You appear to be running Gnome, using gksudo
/usr/lib/easyubuntu
When you get a 'Password: ' prompt, type in your user password.
System sanity check: PASSED!
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./easyubuntu.in", line 81, in <module>
    main()
  File "./easyubuntu.in", line 75, in main
    gtkfrontend.launcher(datadir, confdir, userPackageListPath)
  File "/usr/lib/easyubuntu/EasyUbuntu/gtkfrontend.py", line 208, in launcher
    pkglist = minidom.parse(os.path.join(datadir,userPkg))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_xmlplus/dom/minidom.py", line 1915, in parse
    return expatbuilder.parse(file)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_xmlplus/dom/expatbuilder.py", line 924, in parse
    fp = open(file, 'rb')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/easyubuntu/packagelist-feisty.xml'

I tried reinstalling but that didn't help, any ideas?

Thanks,
Brad

By going into the /usr/lib/easyubuntu directory and copying packagelist-edgy.xml to
packagelist-feisty.xml will successfully launch. I have no idea what copying the edgy file to
feisty will do to easyubuntu's stability, but for me, it seems to run correctly.

Good luck!!

I had the same problem using Ubuntu 7.04 and by going into the /usr/lib/easyubuntu directory and copying packagelist-edgy.xml to
packagelist-feisty.xml will successfully launch.

Thanks

Thank you! Copying /usr/lib/easyubuntu/packagelist-edgy.xml to packagelist-feisty.xml worked perfectly.

Hi, I know this says "Solved," but I'm a noob and don't understand -- that's why I want to use *EASY* Ubuntu. :o)

What does "copying packagelist-edgy.xml to packagelist-feisty.xml " mean? Do I drag and drop something involving those files, or copy and paste the text or something? Also, I went to that folder and it says I don't have write permission. I'm running Feisty, of course.

Thanks in advance...

nevermind! Somehow it runs from Application > System Tools with no problems.
