Public bug reported: I'm running Ubuntu 114.04 on a 32-bit Lenovo T61. When I try to launch alacarte from the menus or from the command line I get $ alacarte Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 23, in <module> from Alacarte.MainWindow import main File "/usr/share/alacarte/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 20, in <module> import gi File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 36, in <module> from ._gi import _gobject ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi._gi'
Web pages I've looked at suggest reinstalling python3-gi, but apt-get and Synaptic won't do that for me - instead apt-get locks up in a tight 100% processor usage loop.
