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.
