Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I can confirm that smartshine 0.36-0ubuntu2 on Ubuntu Artful refuses to start if python-cairo isn't installed. While testing, I also discovered that python-gi is another undocument requirement of this package. These should be added to the Dependencies field in the control file to resolve this issue. I haven't checked thoroughly, but there might be more undocumented dependencies. As a workaround, run `sudo apt install python-cairo python-gi` to install the necessary dependencies to run smartshine. Btw, could you please run the following command in a terminal to gather additional debug information (only once): apport-collect 1701648 When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu- bug' and the name of the package affected.
