I just tried installing Magicicada in Xubuntu 13.10 and got a system error when trying to run it from the DE. I then tried to run it from the terminal and got the same error as the OP. I followed the instructions from Evandro to add the line:
from getttext import gettext as _ to the 3 files he listed: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/magicicada/gui/gtk/operations.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/magicicada/gui/gtk/listings.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/magicicada/gui/gtk/status.py and it also solved my issue. I added this line near the top of the files, right before any other line saying, "from xxxx import xxxxx" Thanks for the help! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1095665 Title: Crashes on start : NameError: name '_' is not defined To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/magicicada/+bug/1095665/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
