This has been fixed for me, presumably by one of the python/libpython updates that was put out yesterday.

[Mauro D'Aloisio (maurodaloisio)]

The same for me. Now the program starts normally. Unfortunately I do not remember which updates I did yesterday and today.

As of daily-live 07/08/2010 installed, I get the exact same error message as the originator. I'm using amd64.iso.

This one to be exact - From "http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/":
maverick-desktop-amd64.iso 07-Jul-2010 08:09 696M Desktop CD for 64-bit PC (AMD64) computers (standard download)

[tankdriver (stoneraider-deactivatedaccount)]

Works for me now (alpha2 + updates 09-Jul-2010)

[Olof Kindgren (flamingolof)]

Works for me. Can this be closed now?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same problem on Ubuntu 12.04.2 x86_64
