Sean2323	Hey guys, I recently installed PlayOnLinux 4.2.2, and whenever I try to run it from the icon, it simply flashes a bit, then stops. Running it in the terminal yields: http://i.imgur.com/IElLxHg.jpg This entire piece of text repeats infinitely until Ctrl+C is held down for a few seconds, or the Terminal is closed. Checking my system monitor, I see this: http://imgur.com/a/0WDer The program says it's taking up 0 CPU power, when in reality it appears to be driving both cores up to 100.0%. My OS is Ubuntu 12.04, I have Python 2.7.3 installed, and I've used the Synaptic Package Manager to install and update all of PlayOnLinux's dependencies. Edited by Sean2323

hego555	Did you install PlayonLinux from the software center, if not, uninstall it, reinstall from the software center. sudo apt-get install playonlinux to install from terminal.

Sean2323	reinstall from the software center. sudo apt-get install playonlinux to install from terminal. Quote from hego555 The problem remains, no changes whatsoever. Edit: Rebooted, problem still remains. Edited by Sean2323

petch	Looks like a broken Python installation, maybe more than one 2.7.x version installed? Google for the error message ("ImportError: cannot import name MAXREPEAT") and you'll find several hits... ^{My scripts wiki: https://github.com/petchema/playonlinux/wiki} ^{GOGmix: https://www.gog.com/en/mix/playonlinux_install_scripts}
