Ok, so landscape-client doesn't work like that. It should be started by root via its initscript at /etc/init.d/landscape-client.
We can, of course, make the error more friendlier, i.e., not crash and give a meaningful error message instead. So, I'm marking this as confirmed, but it's a low priority. ** Changed in: landscape-client (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Also affects: landscape-client Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: landscape-client Importance: Undecided => Low Status: New => Confirmed ** Also affects: landscape Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: landscape Importance: Undecided => Low Status: New => Confirmed Target: None => thames -- landscape-client crashed with IOError in __init__() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268879 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
