Issues on Kubuntu 19.04, installed from ppa

[othbert]

Have been happily using since forever on previous releases of ubuntu and kubuntu including 18.04 and 18.10 that were installed on this current system. Upgraded to 19.04 and the ppa was removed, along with some others.

The app stopped working for me and I didn't think much of it for a while, but desperate for it again now and attempting to run gives:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/indicator-sound-switcher", line 44, in <module>
    from indicator_sound_switcher.config import Config, EMPTY_CONFIG
ImportError: cannot import name 'EMPTY_CONFIG' from 'indicator_sound_switcher.config' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/indicator_sound_switcher/config.py)

Have uninstalled, readded the ppa, re-installed etc. all to no avail. Same error. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Please have a look at #67, perhaps something similar happened.

Hi, Thanks, yeah, I thought those comments looked similar so I tried the steps there before I opened this issue.

My results:

Looks like you are using a wrong, outdated indicator program from /usr/local/bin (which takes precedence over /usr/bin). Here's what it's supposed to be:

$ which indicator-sound-switcher 
/usr/bin/indicator-sound-switcher

If you also have /usr/bin/indicator-sound-switcher (that's expected), then just remove the culprit:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/indicator-sound-switcher

Awesome! Thank you, that got it :)
