Public bug reported: I installed GCompris with this command line: >sudo apt-get install gcompris
When I first tried to run GCompris from the "K" menu it started to launch but then exited silently. I then ran GCompris with this command line: >gcompris which generated this error: >Exception exceptions.ImportError: 'No module named Numeric' >in 'garbage collection' ignored > >Fatal Python error: unexpected exception during garbage collection >Aborted (core dumped) digging through the python code I found this file that used the module "Numeric" /usr/share/gcompris/python/DTW/dtw.py !explicitly installing the python-numeric package resolved the problem! >sudo apt-get install python-numeric I presume the package manager should have detected this dependency automatically when I originally installed GCompris More system details: 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu. > lsb_release -rd >Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch) >Release: 9.04 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename' or by checking in Synaptic. >apt-cache policy gcompris >gcompris: > Installed: 8.4.4-1.1ubuntu2 > Candidate: 8.4.4-1.1ubuntu2 > Version table: > *** 8.4.4-1.1ubuntu2 0 > 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages > 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- GCompris core dumps at load time in kubuntu jaunty jackalope (alpha 3) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/328917 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
