Found a solution. It looks like the app is using an old URL that does not exist anymore. You can vi the config file to fix it:

vi /opt/barriosquare/barrioConfig.py
Change
AUTHORIZATION_EXCHANGE_URL = 'http://api.playfoursquare.com/v1/authexchange'
To
AUTHORIZATION_EXCHANGE_URL = 'http://api.foursquare.com/v1/authexchange'

Also I noticed that if you do not have a custom profile pic the login screen hangs because "http://foursquare.com/userpix/blank_boy.png" is not a valid URL.

OK, here is a step by step. This assumes you have Leafpad text editor installed, I know VI isnt for everyone.

1. Open the X Terminal
2. Gain root access
3. Use Leafpad to edit the config file
leafpad /opt/barriosquare/barrioConfig.py
4. Change the following line (remove "play")
AUTHORIZATION_EXCHANGE_URL = 'http://api.playfoursquare.com/v1/authexchange'
To
AUTHORIZATION_EXCHANGE_URL = 'http://api.foursquare.com/v1/authexchange'
5. Save the file with Leafpad and exit
6. Now run Barriosquare from the menu

Does that all make sense?
Only new to the forums here so not sure of the level of Linux knowledge most people have.
Let me know if you run in to any problems, happy to help ^_^

Hi Stephen, any way that you write the guide a bit more detailed for ******s like me... First how to gain root access, can you list all commands? Btw I found already X Terminal hehe.

Many thanks!

Hi all,

Just thought I'd let you know I've uploaded a new version of BarrioSquare which fixes rendering of the Dashboard in PR1.2 and also fixes the signup URI so you don't have to modify it manually.

PR1.2 has changed a few things, so you might notice that BarrioSquare opens new windows when you don't expect it to - we'll get those annoyances fixed shortly.

Finally, when signing in, there's a few UI bugs - you need to cancel the sign in once it gets to 100% and then restart the app. We'll get there

Happy foursquaring!

FYI You might want to wait till 0.3.3 as I've just realised Barriosquare isn't closing down the location subsystem properly in 0.3.2 - I'll get that fixed ASAP.
