[Qgis-user] Why not in the forum? / Problem in Kubuntu

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

In addition to Alex's comments I can add that I find the forums more
time consuming to use. If I want to quickly pop off an answer, there
really is nothing simpler than just pressing reply in my email app.
Plus with email I can take the list postings with me and answer
offline, then post my replies when I get online again. The final
reason is that I simply get information overload and its not possible
to follow all conversations around QGIS at all times...with email I
can just skim the subject lines and answer what I might know something
about, and skip the rest.

Now to your question....

It sounds like symptoms of some python issue we had where the internal
paths to qgis support files was being lost when python was as enabled.
This is fixed in trunk, and there will be a new release at the end of
the month which should hopefully address this. If you are feeling
adventurous, you could try temporarily disabling python support and
seeing if the problem goes away.

Regards

Tim
