Comment 3 for bug 531676

Hey Jay. Wanted to give you an update.

I downloaded/installed the bazaar files with initially the same results. Not having any success with that route, I decided to reduce the possible variables in the equation. I first 'uninstalled' the client package using Xubuntu's Add/Remove Software Packages utility. I then removed the openerp-client file in the /usr/local/bin directory, and removed both the openerp_client-5.0.7.egg-info file and the openerp-client directory located at /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages. I figured this would basically get me back to where nothing was "installed".

I then proceeded to do an install with the bazaar files. The installation appeared to work fine, except when I then went to run the client (by invoking openerp-client from the command line), I got the following error messages:

CRITICAL:init:Failed to open file 'openerp-icon.png': No such file or directory
CRITICAL:init:Ensure that the file /home/mguthart/.openerprc is correct

I thought hmmm...well, okay.

So I then went straight to the bin directory itself and tried running the client directly (sudo python openerp-client.py). Running the client this way works just fine - which is nice to know because at least I know that it can work and that I may have overcome the initial problem I was having.

So my next question - any suggestions on overcoming the two CRITICAL errors so I can run it 'normally'?

(And whether this is still considered a "bug", or whether this is getting more into general support I don't know. If nothing else hopefully it helps identify what's going on).

Thanks again for all your help!

Mark
