New gnome-mousetrap installs but does not run

[a1call]

Hi,

The title says it all. The new addition to ubuntu 9.10, gnome-mousetrap (accessibility software for webcam head-tracking)installed on a fresh installation as well as an upgrade. Both fail to start the app.
One hint to one issue (most likely not the only issue) is if you type mousetrap in the console it falls in a loop for missing python 2.5 (9.10 has python 2.6). Installing python 2.5 does not resolve the issue.

Hi,
I have been having the same issue and have filed a bug report http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+so...ap/+bug/470193

[a1call]

Thank you for the reply and the bug report link lachlanc,

Let's hope this issue resolves soon so that the disabled can utilize it.
One note is that both my versions are 32 bit.

Hi,

The same is happening with me, I tried to install the the phyton2.5 and still not working.
But there are two differents packages available on the karmic: gnome-mousetrap and mousetrap. I tried to install the mousetrap too by apt-get and I got a different message error.

Hi diego.pedrosa,

Mousetrap refers to an unrelated game and gnome-mousetrap is the accessibility software.

I could see some communications in google results regarding ubuntu asking the developers to prepare the software for python 2.6 and a reply that it is "done". But apparently not so.(from what I remember from googling a few days ago)

[The End of The World]

Hey
this might be completely wrong but i just ran

sudo apt-get install python2.5

which sorted one problem, though now it comes up with:

dan@acerAspire:~$ mousetrap

rather fustratingly...
anyone get the same problem?

Sorry I'm a newbie and can't help.

[VirusCollector]

Same problem here. All my base are belong to MouseTrap.

[lockalidiot]

I also have trouble with this. I'm running Karmic.

I only get the infinite loop of "not finding python 2.5"...
Tried to install it(apt-get install python 2.5) but it just said that I already have the newest version (2.6).. I just cant get the bugger to work.

[busy4thyr]

lockalidiot :
you should be able to install both 2.6 and 2.5 from the Ubuntu Software center.

This fixed the v2.5 problem but now I'm getting the same error as Skully
