Mediabox not starting...

Hi everybody,

I am a proud owner of a new N800 and I configured it today just to what I like but Mediabox doesn't work.
I searched the forums for my problem but it didn't help.

Traceback (most recent call last):

python2.5 is already the newest version.

Here's the outcome if I use the shell to start it!

Thanks

Re: Mediabox not starting...

You need to install python2.5-runtime in order to get all required python dependencies. I'm going to fix the requirements of the MediaBox deb.

Worked.
I knew that I needed to install the python package but it didn't show up via apt-get...
Thanks anyways

Pycage - thanks for the tip. I had the same problem, now it's working.
