Program not fuctioning

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download file from site, and double click deb file (Linux Ubuntu 11.04)
2. It will open with Software centre and give an error about some coding.
3. Install it anyway, once done it will not function or do anything. Nothing 
responses.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I see the full MH UI just like on Windows but nothing works can't even move 
camera

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
MH 1.0 Alpha 6 on Ubuntu 11.04

Please provide any additional information below.

 I downloaded makehuman-alpha_6_i386.deb​ from your site when I double click it, it takes me to the software centre so I install it from there, but then it says something about the files coding, ubuntu does not like the file. So I installed it anyway, then when I load it nothing....I can see he full UI including the women in the screen. but I can't move camera or change anything setting nothing works.. I got python 2.7 installed.

I need more info to be able to comment this.

What exactly was the error message?

If you start a terminal and write "makehuman", do you get any error messages in 
the console?

If you start a terminal and write "sudo apt-get install -f" does this fix the 
problem?

When I start MH from console this is what appears:

not a clickable zone

When I do that sudo apt-get install -f this is the output:

Ok, the warning about maintainer is just a warning that the author information 
could have been written better. That is not causing your functionality problem, 
it's just an information. 

I will fix the warning, but that will not help the camera problems. 

Spontaneously I'd blame your graphics for this: either the installed graphics 
driver, or lack of opengl/3d support in your graphics card. What are the specs 
of your graphics? Include information about chipset and driver. If you don't 
know, please run:

sudo lspci | grep -i vga

and paste the info.

It is NOT my graphics card :( 

I know this because I run MH also on Windows on Windows it works perfectly. 

Here:

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV620 LE [Radeon HD 
3450]

btw it's not just the camera movements, its everything the program starts but I 
just can't do nothing, can't move the sliders or the camera...

Do you use unity? I noticed an offset when running mh under unity, the mouse 
clicks where registered lower than where you click. Try clicking is several 
places, or go full screen. I think it might be an SDL/unity issue.

Nope don't use unity, in fact never heard of it...

Unity is the desktop manager that comes with Ubuntu 11.04. If you didn't 
explicitly opted out of it, you will most likely use it. It's what makes Ubuntu 
11.04 look like a cross between an Iphone and nintendo.

Thomas Larsson seem to have a similar problem with MH compiled from source:

so how do I sort this out? How do I turn unity off??

I don't have any ubuntu 11.04 installations, but google turns up this for 
example:

I have done that, in fact my Ubuntu is always set to classic mode, so that 
means Unity is off, I tried with Unity on same thing....program has big bugs!

Well, I'm out of ideas. 

Since the same problem seem to arise when building from source too, I am 
assuming this problem is not related to the building and packaging, which are 
the parts I'm responsible for. 

I'm assigning ownership of this bug to manuel in the hope that he has any ideas 
on how to proceeed. 

I'll try to reproduce the bug in a virtual machine eventually, but I doubt I'd 
find anything that I'd be capable of fixing myself.

OK, testing with Ubuntu 11.04
I'm able to reproduce the "bad quality package" problem, but not the camera 
problem. Later I'll try with unity activated.

Yeah but its not just the camera, can you move the sliders? can you do anything 
at all...? 

Original comment by asim2...@yahoo.com on 6 Aug 2011 at 11:47

Tested with unity, also. Unfortunately I can't reproduce the problem. With and 
without Unity, it seem to work: camera, sliders, tab, etc...this issue is going 
to be really weird..

I'm moving the work with the warning when installing from deb to issue 134.

No one can reproduce this bug
