Hi! I installed winswitch on 3 systems of mine in the last days:

1.) Linux Mint Debian Editon (based on Debian Wheezy) 2.) Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal 3.) Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat

On 1.) and 2.) It worked well locally, although I was not able to use 1.) from 2.) - see ​https://winswitch.org/forum/topic/15/ for details

This issue is about the 3rd machine, the Ubuntu 10.10.

I did install winswitch like this:

curl https://winswitch.org/gpg.asc | apt-key add -
echo "deb http://winswitch.org/ maverick main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winswitch.list;
apt-get update
apt-get install winswitch

When starting the applet, it appeared in the statusbar, but reacted very sluggish (which did not get better even after 15 minutes) I could not open a session locally neither remote on the 1.) machine, although the second issue seems to stem from version incompatibilities of xpra.

I'll attach the logfile.

Following the instructions on ​http://winswitch.org/downloads/debian-repository.html?dist_select=oneiric

I get this error:

W: Failed to fetch http://winswitch.org/dists/dists/oneiric/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I think 'dists' is appearing somewhere it shouldn't (see the dists/dists) above.

/usr/libexec and /usr/local/libexec do not (and should not, I suppose) exist under a standard Ubuntu install, and yet the packages contain references to them.

In particular, replacing them by /usr/lib/ and /usr/local/lib in

/usr/lib/python2.6/winswitch/utils/paths.py at lines 126 and 128 (+/- 1) is needed for the server to start.
