popper.py: Fatal IO error 11 on Ubuntu Natty

[Jean Thusek]

After installing popper 0.28 from PPA, popper does not automatically start on login though it has added an autostart entry.
The log-file shows the following line:
popper.py: Fatal IO error 11 (Die Ressource ist zur Zeit nicht verfügbar) on X server :0.

When starting the Configurator, the autostart checkbox is also active and clicking "save+exit" starts popper correctly.

---------------- UPDATE ----------------
When I comment out lines 11-21 of the /usr/share/popper/popper.sh it starts correctly after logging in. So my script looks like this:

#!/bin/bash
main()
{
if [ -f ~/.popper/popper.log ]; then
 rm ~/.popper/popper.log
fi
cd `dirname $0`
python popper.py autostarted >> ~/.popper/popper.log 2>&1 &
}

#connection()
#{
#trap "exit 1" SIGTERM
#while ! ping -c1 www.google.com 2>/dev/null 1>&2
# do
# sleep 4.2 # The answer to life, the universe and everything :-)
# done
#kill %-
#}
#
#connection
main

Hi Jean
The part of the popper.sh that you commented out, checks if you are online before Popper is started. This is no magic and should not provoke this error. If you google for "Fatal IO error 11" you will maybe find the reason why this happens. This has nothing to do with Popper.
