Hi Rajeswar Khan, what version of Ubuntu Tweak are you using? The opening error message is somewhat similar to this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-tweak/+bug/896867

I am using version Ubuntu tweak 0.6.0
Ubuntu 11.10 32bit

First I tried with deb file and then by adding ppa.
None worked.

Hi Rajeswar,

Here's how I installed the latest (test) version Ubuntu Tweak. The following commands I entered in a Terminal:
1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/next
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak

Please check, reinstall yours and let us know what happened.

Can you help with this problem?
