easy ubuntu problems

davholla · 12-30-2006, 02:33 PM

When I try to run easyubuntu as root I get :-

Code:

root@david-desktop:~/easyubuntu# python easyubuntu.in
System sanity check: PASSED!
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "easyubuntu.in", line 51, in ?
    main()
  File "easyubuntu.in", line 42, in main
    detect.replace(confdir)
  File "/root/easyubuntu/EasyUbuntu/detect.py", line 184, in replace
    cmd = "chown -R " + user + ":" + user + " " + confdir
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects

Did you try to run it as a non-root user? And did you make sure you have a compatible version of python?

I did try as root and I have python 2.4.3 which is the latest stable version.

I can't really help, but if you can't get easyubuntu to work, then try automatix instead.

I think b0uncer asked if you had run it when *not* root...

Thats what I was gonna suggest, I've used Automatix2 for a while, with no issues at all. Note, follow the instructions using terminal, downloading the .deb file never seems to work right.

I got a message saying that it is for Unbuntu 6.10 only.

Did you follow the right directions?

From http://www.getautomatix.com/wiki/ind...e=Installation

Quote:

Installing on (K,X)Ubuntu 6.06 i386,amd64 (Dapper)

From terminal do the following (ONE LINE AT A TIME HITTING ENTER AFTER EACH STEP):

echo "deb http://www.getautomatix.com/apt dapper main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
wget http://www.getautomatix.com/apt/key.gpg.asc
gpg --import key.gpg.asc
gpg --export --armor 521A9C7C | sudo apt-key add -

To finish off:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install automatix2
