pyalienfx not working on Ubuntu 13.10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt install and run from .deb
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The program hangs when intalled through software center. I use terminal to 
force it to finish, then gksudo to open it. When I try to do anything, I get 
socket timeout errors--nothing changes (and the settings it had before, where 
it was cycling through colors on my keyboard, have stopped, meaning I'm stuck 
on yellow keyboard now)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Most current version, in Ubuntu 13.10. Alienware M11x R1

Please provide any additional information below (Python Error Message if
possible).

Can you try and install it fron source instead ? 

or using a terminal with the .deb
sudo dpkg -i PyalienFX-vXXX.deb

And when it ask for the deamon say NO

I am having the same problem. I have tried installing using both methods that 
you have mentioned but no dice. I am a new user to Ubuntu so I don't know a 
lot, but if any data would help I will be glad to try to provide it.
Ubuntu 13.10 Alienware M14x R2
