Adding palettes from colourlover lens does not work

[Michal Predotka]

Since some time clicking on a palette in coloulovers lens does nothing. Adding palettes with one click was one of my favorite feature in lenses.
How can I debug this?

[David Callé (davidc3)]

Hi Michał, I don't have a 11.10 install today to debug this.

Could you please kill the scope daemon :
$ ps aux | grep colourlovers
Find the process number of the unity-scope-colourlovers daemon (the first number after your user name)
$ kill <processnumber>

Then, restart it with :
$ /usr/lib/unity-scope-colourlovers/unity-scope-colourlovers

Do a search in the GraphicDesign lens, click on a palette, then paste here the terminal output.

Thank you very much.

Thanks.
This is what I get.

bash: /usr/lib/unity-scope-colourlovers/unity-scope-colourlovers: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu
michal@michal-Inspiron-530-11:~$

“Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu” means “No such file or folder”

OK, I've restarted with different command. Results are here:

Ok, I see what it is, the packagers for the Software Center have apparently messed up the authorizations of the scope, it's not able to trigger a notification and crashes. I'll try to get that fixed ASAP.

Many thanks David!
