easyubuntu: so close, and yet so far...

[David Armour]

hello list!

from the If It's Possible To Screw (Something) Up Dept....

i need some help translating the error/info message the easyubuntu 
install script is throwing up. i've tried using the script as is, but 
didn't seem to get any of the claimed benefits, or any obvious error or 
info pages. next, i tried installing stuff in passes.

1st pass: multimedia tab:     codecs
                                                binary codecs
                                                ibdvdcss
                                                midi
                system tab:            repository lists
                                                fonts

2nd pass: web tab:            videos
                                            skype
                                            openwengo

3rd pass: web tab:            flashplugins
                                            java

using this admittedly kludgy scheme, i got further down the install 
path, at least in terms of the screens asking me if i wanted to download 
and install flashplugin files. the script *seems* to me to hang up 
somewhere in the vicinity of the java part. but i'm no expert (can you 
tell?) here. has anyone else seen the following error before? is there a 
python doctor in the house?

Traceback (most recent call last):

line 84 to the end of gtkfrontend.py:

    def read_output(self, buffer, command):
        stdin, stdouterr = os.popen4(command)
        for line in stdouterr.readlines():
            self.textbuffer.insert(self.textbuffer.get_end_iter(), 
utf8conv(line))

any help v. much appreciated.
