EasyUbuntu fails with IOError

[Matt Wagner]

Stock install of Gutsy, everything up to date, standard kernel.

Downloaded the .deb and let the package manager install it. No errors during installation, and it was placed in my Applications menu.

Invoking it from the command line yields the following:
matt@t60:~$ sudo easyubuntu
Unable to determine desktop environment, falling back to gksudo
/usr/lib/easyubuntu
When you get a 'Password: ' prompt, type in your user password.
System sanity check: PASSED!

EasyUbuntu is only designed to run on Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) and Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft). It has not been worked on for any release since then, and is not tested or compatible with later releases.

Most functionality of EasyUbuntu has been part of Ubuntu since 7.04 (Feisty Fawn). EasyUbuntu is only supported for Dapper Drake (6.06) and Edgy Eft (6.10)

Please remove EasyUbuntu from your Gutsy system.
