classicmenu-indicator crash when launch Ubuntu 23.04

[Xavier de La Garanderie]

I have just upgrade my system from Ubuntu 22.10 to 23.04.

The classic menu indicator doesn't work any longer, from classicmenu-indicator package.

When i launch classic menu indicator in command line i get the following message:

root@mdbelinux:~# classicmenu-indicator
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/classicmenu-indicator", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('classicmenu-indicator==0.11', 'console_scripts', 'classicmenu-indicator')()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/classicmenu_indicator/cmindicator.py", line 578, in main
    indicator = ClassicMenuIndicator()
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/classicmenu_indicator/cmindicator.py", line 152, in __init__
    gettext.bind_textdomain_codeset(settings.GETTEXT_DOMAIN, 'UTF-8')
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'gettext' has no attribute 'bind_textdomain_codeset'

I got the same error from a non root account.

How can i fix it?

Thanks for help.

I have the same problem. My python version is :

$ python3
Python 3.11.2 (main, Mar 13 2023, 12:18:29) [GCC 12.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

It seems that the function was removed in python 3.10.

I have removed that line (152 in `/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/classicmenu_indicator/cmindicator.py`) and the classicmenu-indicator seems to work fine now.
