[Visualpython-users] running on Ubuntu 10.10

[Joe H. <hea...@gm...>]

I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 and everything seems to be working fine. I then installed Python 2.6.6, IDLE for Python 2.6, and the visual package from the Ubuntu package manager. I have NOT installed VIDLE yet. Two things concern me. First, the demo files are not where they "should" be but are instead under /usr/share/doc/something-or-other. Second, when I load a demo script into IDLE and try to run it, Python crashes and the shell and program windows vanish. What am I missing here? I really don't want to build from sources.

Joe,
Try running IDLE from the terminal.

>> idle &

See if that stops the window from closing.

Just found this with Google. This may fix it.

I don't think this link is relevant. It refers to older versions of
Ubuntu on which python-visual was broken. It works okay on Ubuntu
10.10.

>From the test results you sent me (appended below), it looks like the
problem has something to do with support for OpenGL in your VirtualBox
context.
