Bug Description

I have installed GroundControl 1.1.0 on Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty but eventhough it has created a folder named Projects when you go inside there is no option to configure anything, the nautilus extension doesn't appear. Maybe I am missing some kind of dependency?
I have tryed to manually configure it without success, I don't know if this is relevant:
$ python /usr/share/groundcontrol/configure.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/groundcontrol/configure.py", line 24, in <module>
    from GroundControl.configuration import ConfigGui
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/GroundControl/configuration.py", line 42, in <module>
    from lazr.restfulclient.errors import HTTPError
ImportError: No module named restfulclient.errors

And afterwards the groundcontrol.log file has this line:
01-31 16:28 root WARNING Can't find icon for default in /usr/share/groundcontrol/pixmaps/animation

Interesting, it looks like your missing the lazr / restfulclient modules.

Could you tell me what Ubuntu version your using?

Allright, I have installed the lazr.restfulclient. Now python /usr/share/groundcontrol/configure.py works, but the nautilus extension still doesn't.
$ python /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/python/nautilus-groundcontrol.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/python/nautilus-groundcontrol.py", line 27, in <module>
    import nautilus
ImportError: No module named nautilus
I have python-nautilus 0.5.1 installed.

I still don't know what version of Ubuntu your using. This is important in figuring out why python-nautilus doesn't provide the nautilus python module.

It seems like you have a fairly atypical installation. I need to hear details about how it works.

Well, what kind of details do you need to know? As I wrote on the description, I am using 9.04 jaunty 32 bits. Originally it was kubuntu but I installed ubuntu-desktop and now I use only gnome. Kernel is 2.6.28-11-generic. Tell me what kind of info you need. Thanks!

My deepest appologies for missing that. I must have skipped over that detail in my reading. That's my fault.

So your using Jaunty, I released the jaunty packages and I'm not sure if they work, this is a good indication that they don't.

Do you know anyone (programmer) who can investigate why they might not work? So we can get the issues fixed in the package and hopefully enable it for Jaunty?

Today GroundControl works fine! I have no idea why because the nautilus import still failes... nevertheless I think that the lazr modules should be added as dependency fot the jaunty package, because on karmic they are already installed by the default, aren't they ?
The only changes have been some updates that I installed from the update manager and I think that some of the updates where python related but I don't remember and don't know if this is related to problem being solved. Any idea how I can determine what it brought to work?
GroundControl is very cool :-)

I tryed to setup a develpment enviroment, but there are some dependencies missing in jaunty. I could identify the following:

* lazr.uri (GroundControl/base.py)
* moxml.config (nautilus-groundcontrol.py)
* xdgapp (GroundControl/base.py)
