Comment 25 for bug 1241944

Always happy to help :) Your neat little python thing is pretty much the most important thing to my x220t ^^ I'd hate to write my lab-log on real paper ^^
Also I wouldn't be caught dead using unity but since cinnamon is broken in 13.10 I have to, so lets get that testing underway before they fix it so it may help someone who actually wants to use unity ;)

Anyway

Yes, the app indicator didn't show.
cat /etc/issue gives: Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l
unity --version gives: unity 7.1.2

Put you rcodeblock in a separate file which now has the contents:
#!/usr/bin/env python2
try:
    import appindicator # should only be available in Unity (and KDE?)
    have_appindicator = True
except:
    have_appindicator = False
print "have_appindicator", have_appindicator

executing this prints:
have_appindicator False

While we're on the subject of failing imports, during installation of your magnificent script, if one tries to execute MAGICK-INSTALL you actually get a popup saying:
There are no package managers that are compatible
with this installer. Please read INSTALLER.txt
for manual installation instructions.

what I actually did to fix this was comment out the line (7):
from apt.progress import InstallProgress
in the file apt_pm.py
which allows the installer to continue.
Don't know if that is the desired behaviour with ubuntu, from your source it looked that the installer should work on this distro.
