Easyubuntu fails to lauch on edgy eft (poss solution included)

[cybervegan]

Testing easyubuntu with edgy... the .deb installs nicely, and the application appears under Applications/System tools/Easyubuntu as expected, but when you launch it, nothing appears to happen.

Running the "easyubuntu" command from a terminal produces the following error:

"""
root@eventhorizon:~# easyubuntu
Unable to determine desktop environment, falling back to gksudo
python: can't open file './easyubuntu.in': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
"""

After investigation, it appears that in the /usr/bin/easyubuntu shell script, the command "pushd /usr/lib/easyubuntu" fails with "command not found". pushd is an internal command to the bash shell, but not to the sh shell, and it is not installed on edgy:

"""root@eventhorizon:~# sh
# pushd /usr/lib/easyubuntu
sh: pushd: not found
"""

This seems to happen because the script starts with "#!/bin/sh" instead of "#!/bin/bash"; when I changed it accordingly, the menu launcher now works!

Hope that helps
