Guake will not launch

[mkeyes001]

I'm running ubuntu 11.04, when I attempt to start guake I get the spinner and I see the starting guake in the menu bar and then nothing....is it not compatible with my version yet?

helium01# guake

I've fixed this issue....in /usr/lib/guake/guake.py

proxy = '/system/http_proxy/'
                ssl_host = self.client.get_string('/system/proxy/secure_host')
                #ssl_port = self.client.get_string('/system/proxy/secure_port')
                ssl_port = self.client.get_int('/system/proxy/secure_port')

I commented out the get_string section and added the the get_int section below it

I found this fix on the guake website for anybody interested...

I tried your suggestion, but guake still won't appear for more than half a second after I turn it on.

i'm solved by:

cd /usr/share/pixmaps/guake/
cp guake-tray.default.png guake-tray.png
