Cannot be launched, man. It must be due to compiz (0.6.99) with no libcompizconfig-backend-gconf installed. And I think u might abandon compiz options, as it is not such a compulsory part, or u can make it more flexible. For me, I prefer flat-file configuration backend rather than gconf-backend.

Thank you zhuqin!
I’ve update a new version, so that you can run Ubuntu Tweak!
About the Compiz Fusion, You are right! I won’t spend any time on it.

Congratulations!
I have noticed one regression though, but since you ported it from c to python, i guess a few things were to be expected.
* When you select a father item, it will automate expand the child items; is no longer working.
Apart from that… SOLID
Thank you for your continued effort to make a consolidated Ubuntu tweak app.

Brilliant little tool.
One problem i experienced, updating from 0.2.0 to 0.2.4 was that the Compiz settings panel now complains that it can’t find libcompizconfig-backend-gconf, which is definitely installed.
0.2.0 worked fine.
Hope to see some more awesome work from you.

Great work! I love it, it is a very useful tool for Linux newbies. Looking forward to the next release - Thank you.

Why don’t you make it a Gnome-Tweak instead? Because that’s what it is, IMHO. More people could use it.
By Mads Madsen on Jan 9, 2008 | Reply
The older versions of Ubuntu Tweak worked well in 8.04 beta, so why have you removed the option of running it under 8.04?

Thank you for this useful tool!
I like it!

Ubuntu-tweak does not run on PowerPC because of the CPU model test:
Traceback (most recent call last):

creating the variable with some value before the place where it is initialized removes the crash and the rest seems to work just fine.

About Aurelien’s problem and Zhum’s problem.
I’ll fixed it soon.

just learned that you have to run the app with sudo or gksudo to avoid the launch errors.
