Freevo

 

FreevoAptUbuntu

Installing on ubuntu hoary works like normal Debian(FreevoAptDebian) installation(you may have to force the install) with(at the time of writing, 17.5.2005, 1.5.3) a little modification to /usr/bin/freevo.

If you get this: "can't find python version with installed freevo"

Then do this:

su (get root)

nano /usr/bin/freevo (open a editor)

And change this:

def get_python(check_freevo):
    """
    get the newest version of python [ with freevo installed ]
    """
    if float(sys.version[0:3]) >= 2.3:
        # python seems to be ok
        search = ('python', 'python2') ### change 'python' to 'python2.3' (ugly but works)
    elif float(sys.version[0:3]) >= 2.2:
        # try python2.3, else take python
        search = ('python2.3', 'python')
    else:
        # python is too old, try to find python2.3 or python2
        search = ('python2.3', 'python2')

If you know your python you can always do it better. This seems to work for me:) Freevo 2.0 doesn't propably have this problem.
