Lubuntu installation: .../etc$ cat issue Ubuntu 11.04 \n \l I install giver 0.1.8-6 via Synaptic. It fails to run, as per other reports:

In a previous Lubuntu 10.10 installation I had on this machine (Dell Dimension 2400), giver used to run successfully. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772076 Title: Giver does not start -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
