yeah - but isn't that basically doing a canola cleanup followed by installing beta 11 ?

The latest update works for me - which means that it is some freak error that is causing that python error for some. Its really sad that nobody from canola dev. seems to be looking at the bug reports posted.

At risk of sounding like a broken record again - have any of you tried installing ALL plugins and ALL themes and checked to see if that helped ( in the past I have only talked about one specific plugin)
