hi m8s, i tried several things to get a launcher going for easyubuntu, heres whats happened so far
i used to run it off my desktop, but i hate a messy desktop, so i decided why not throw it in /usr/share and create a launcher for "python /usr/share/easyubuntu/easyubuntu.py" and call it a day...i was wrong
Seems when i did a "sudo cp -r ~/Desktop/easyubuntu/ /usr/share/easyubuntu/" it made the file belong to root and his group, i took the permissions back and chmoded it to 777 but it still couldnt write the sources.list here(found this out through terminal). Next i tried it in my home folder(~/easyubuntu) and this time i can launch it via terminal using "python ~/easyubuntu/easyubuntu.py" but not from a launcher on the desktop or via the menu i made using alacarte. Both launchgers are using the command i can run from terminal, i even tried it with the "run in terminal" box checked, still no go.
any ideas on getting it working?
