johenkel :

I think you maybe facing the same problem I face here in my tests once.
Please if you can send me some info I can try to help you :

1. if it installed, can you try starting it through the xterm (utilities -> xterm )? with the following options :
canola -vvvvvv

This will give you the debug messages (if you do via SSH even better to copy and paste for us)

with this info we will be able to see what's wrong, and how to help you.

I think probably is something related to dbus because of some other application installed that conflicts with canola. Let's see..
