[b]Arista Decoder has stopped working[/b]

[wired99]

Arista Decoder has decided to simply not open.
When called from the menu it shows a window in the Panel but will not open and then disappear.
When called from the terminal I get the following:

myself@ubuntu:~$ arista-gtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/arista-gtk", line 1417, in <module>
main = MainWindow()
File "/usr/bin/arista-gtk", line 398, in __init__
image = _get_icon_pixbuf(device.icon, width, height)
File "/usr/bin/arista-gtk", line 109, in _get_icon_pixbuf
path = arista.utils.get_path("presets", uri[7:])
File "/usr/share/arista/arista/utils.py", line 75, in get_path
"path": path,
IOError: Can't find presets/droid.png in any known prefix!

What should I do?
It did work before, I've used it many times, it's a great program.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome 2.30.0

Go to /home/your foler/.arista/present (hidden folder, use Ctrl-H)
and rename droid.xlm to droid.png
or contact the Administrators, http://programmer-art.org/services/

I also got it to work by going to this location in a terminal:

/usr/share/arista/presets

and riunning this command:

sudo cp pda.png droid.png

This creates a copy of the pda picture to replace the missing picture that is stopping Arista from starting up

Thank you, thank you!

I decided to try a combination of both suggestions.

I went to ~/.arista/presets and copied droid.xml to droid.png (in case I needed the original back) then I renamed droid.xml to droid.xml.old.

It worked once - it asked to install my devices, to which I said yes.

It did not work the second time.

I looked back on the /preset folder and Arista had made a new droid.xml file.

I simply deleted this new file and it now works again. I guess I'll have to keep an eye on this folder.

Thanks again for both suggestions.

I kept wondering about the droid.xml file and how it was automatically created by Arista.

I decided to to go back and do exactly as feline@mindless.com suggested.

It works like a charm. Thanks again.

This worked for me as well with a slight variation on the above solutions. I copied droid.xml to droid.png, and tried keeping a copy of droid.xml renamed to old.droid.xml just in case. Arista still wouldn't open until I removed old.droid.xml from ~/.arista/presets altogether.
