Hi friends !
Few days back i had posted two problems which i faced in my PC
1. Unable to open software sources
I recently installed Ubuntu 9.04 in my PC
Whenever I try to open system->administration->software sources
or
open system->administration->printing
mouse cursor will spin for 2 to 5 seconds after that nothing happens just
disappear from the taskbar.
any ideas?
2. USB Startup Disk Creator in Ubuntu 9.04
I had installed USB Startup Disk Creator in Ubuntu 9.04 but it gives an
error while execution
'Could not launch 'USB Startup Disk Creator'
Failed to execute child process "usb-creator" (No such file or directory)
can any one help me in this regards.
Both the problems where caused by a broken symlink.
The problem solved by doing this
cd /usr/bin
sudo rm python
sudo cp python26 python2.6
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/python
after that everything started working fine. All the above problems where
solved.
just tried the above step and I don't know weather whatever i did is right
or wrong.
Does this cause me any other problem.
can any one help me in this regards.
thanks,
verman

* symlink is a special type of file that contains a reference to another
file or directory in the form of an absolute or relative path and that
affects pathname resolution.
