Package: gtablix
Version: 0.9.13-1-1
Severity: normal

I just tested gtablix, and ran into an unexpected problem.  After
filling in classes, teachers, rooms, etc, I got to the point where the
schedule calculation should start.  I tried to start the process, but
tablix2 died immediately.  There was no information in the GUI about
what went wrong.  Trying to figure out what went on, I checked the
output on stdout, and discovered lines like this:

  libpvm [pid13029] /tmp/pvmd.10001: No such file or directory

This made me suspect there was a need to have the pvmd program
running.  Starting it manually on the side got the scheduling going,
and I was able to get a time table for the test data.

I suggest detecting this problem and report it in the GUI.  If
possible, it would be great if gtablix would start pvmd if needed, to
avoid confusing the user with what I would consider an implementation
detail. :)
