Cannot start daily-journal (ImportError: No module named application.server)

[Anthony Harrington]

Can't get daily-journal to start either from the terminal or programs menu.

The following is displayed from the terminal:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/daily-journal", line 23, in <module>
    from quickly.widgets.couch_grid import CouchGrid
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/quickly/widgets/couch_grid.py", line 64, in <module>
    from desktopcouch.records.server import CouchDatabase
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/desktopcouch/records/server.py", line 9, in <module>
    from desktopcouch.application.server import *
ImportError: No module named application.server

I'm using ubuntu 11.04 64bit

Got the same problem in Ubuntu Natty Beta 2. I could install daily-journal in Natty but not in Maverick (see previous bugg).

Looks like desktopcouch is not being picked up as a dependency.

Antonius and maths57, are you installed from source or from Rick's PPA?

[Anthony Harrington (linuxchemist)]

Rick's PPA.

[maths57 (maths57gothe)]
