[J Phani Mahesh (phanimahesh)]

Reason : Your system is missing overlay-scrollbars package.

Fix will be released in a couple of days.

[dino99 (9d9)]

Confirm that installing the "overlay" packages resolve that issue; but still does not like to be forced to install them

[George Karavasilev (kokoto-java)]

well, as Phani said a fix should arrive in a couple of days, so soon enough this ain't gonna be an issue.

[Tobias Bannert (toba)]

Same problem in Ubuntu 12.10 with 0.0.4-0~92~quantal1.
Crashes when starting unity-tweak-tool.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Jalakas (jalakas)]

I believe it can be fixed by depending on overlay-scrollbars.

I also had to install unity-lens-files. I don't see why the program needs it but it must be also in dependency list to start program properly.

[J Phani Mahesh (phanimahesh)]

We wish to keep the dependency list to an absolute minimum. We have
fallen back to dynamic checking at startup to prevent issues.

Also please report a bug if missing unity-lens-files caused utt to not
start/crash

[Tobias Bannert (toba)]

Where is the fix?

[J Phani Mahesh (phanimahesh)]

The fix is not yet "released", but can be found in our github
repository.
(bzr branch on launchpad would also have updated by now. )

The fixed version can be accessed at 'master' branch from
https://github.com/freyja-dev/unity-tweak-tool

[Barneedhar (barneedhar)]

@Tobias, the package with the bug fix is currently building in PPA.

[Tobias Bannert (toba)]

0.0.4-0~97~quantal1 from ppa same problem

[Tobias Bannert (toba)]

The version from github (also the ppa version?) depends python3-distutils-extra (>= 2.10) but is not installed in 12.10 by using the ppa version.
Only python3-distutils-extra 2.37-1 is available in Ubuntu 12.10.

[J Phani Mahesh (phanimahesh)]

Apologies for the confusion.

If you look at https://code.launchpad.net/~freyja-dev/unity-tweak-tool/trunk you will find that the fix to this bug was in rev 98. I should have verified that launchpad used the most latest code.

I have triggered a rebuild and the PPA should get updated in a few hours. Please verify if 0.0.4-0~99~quantal1 fixes the issue. You can also run it by downloading the source and running 'python3 develtest.py' from the top directory.

[J Phani Mahesh (phanimahesh)]

And regarding the dependency issue, python3-distutils-extra is only a build-dependency. That package is not required to run the application and hence will not be installed normally. It is only required to generate a deb file from the source or to install directly from the source.

You should explicitly ask apt-get with build-dep to pull in the build dependencies.

[Tobias Bannert (toba)]

Thanks for your work. With 0.0.4-0~99~quantal1 it starts.

Now it's time for testing und using.
