Thanks, I'll take this up with Folding@home as I downloaded FAHControl directly from their web site.
I forgot to mention that there are reports from people who were running FAHControl on Ubuntu 15.10 and when they upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 it still ran normally. I did a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04. Would repackaging FAHControl to suit Ubuntu 16.04 cause a problem when attempting to use it on Ubuntu 15.10 or other distributions that use python2? Or can a package dependency be set to either/or? Is there any way I can modify the package dependencies myself, or repackage FAHControl myself? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to python-defaults in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1641012 Title: FAHControl needs python-support which is not available in 16.04 Status in python-defaults package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I have installed FAHControl (the detailed GUI control for FAHClient (the Folding@home client)) on Ubuntu 16.04 but when I launch it it's icon flashes in the launcher and then disappears after a few seconds and nothing else happens.
