Comment 2 for bug 230593

While the error messages in my case looked different than in Bug #147318, the solution that was noted by ubuntu_demon at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/penguintv/+bug/147318/comments/5 seemed to work for me, too. At least, I got the PenguinTV User Interface back, and it loaded the list of feeds. I have had no time to test it further yet.

Note: there were still some error messages, but I only noticed them after I had closed it by clicking on the [X] in the top right of its User Interface window:

I will try watching the terminal window more closely next time to see when the errors happen.
