Andrew: no thank you, I really appreciate it. It will take me ages to find all these bugs if people don’t exercise it by using it their way :)

Yes, setup.py is also fixed. Thank you!

ok, I *think* I’ve fixed up the setup.py to more correctly install everything, but I’m not very experienced with distutils, so maybe it’s still wrong.

@Andrew: Thanks, I’ve just pushed a fix for the icon error. It worked after doing a setup.py install because that would have installed the icon. I’ll fix up the setup.py now since that’s obviously important to have!

Oh, and the weird part is that after running setup.py, like I said in my first comment, running Terminator from the menu doesn’t work. Instead, running it from the epic-refactor (./terminator) now works…

@cmsj: Without running setup.py on my computer (actually I tested it on 3 computers, all running Ubuntu Karmic 32 bit), simply running ./terminator doesn’t work. Here’s the output:

Unable to find python bindings for deskbar, “hide_window” is notavailable.

John: yeah right now switching profile won’t execute the right command, I’m trying to decide if it should or not. Switching profile shouldn’t necessarily kill what you’re already running, I think.
Profiles you create are saved to ~/.config/terminator/epic-refactor for now, but when we release that’ll be ~/.config/terminator/config and we’ll have some kind of tool to migrate the old config file format.

Andrew: I should probably remove setup.py for now. I would only suggest running this branch from within the branch itself. Sorry for the confusion :$

Ubuntu 9.10 64bit. App loads and runs just fine. Can’t seem to get profiles to work. When I create one and then select it the profile doesn’t run the command which should SSH to a server. Also, how easy is it to back up any profiles I create?

Thanks,
John

There is an error in setup.py

It points out to “data/preferences.glade”, while preferences.glade is in “terminatorlib”

Also, after installing it, running “terminator” from the menu does nothing. Here’s the error:

andrei@andrei-desktop:~/epic-refactor$ terminator
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/bin/terminator”, line 40, in
import terminatorlib.optionparse
File “/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/terminatorlib/optionparse.py”, line 25, in
import config
File “/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/terminatorlib/config.py”, line 68, in
from configobj.configobj import ConfigObj, flatten_errors
ImportError: No module named configobj

However, running ./terminator works ok :)
