Description Yann 2010-05-30 01:56:16 UTC 
I try to use Mousetrap in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

I installed the "mousetrap" package (which is in the Ubuntu repository).

A launcher appears in the Applications->Accessibility menu, but it does not work (python error is shown in the terminal).

So I edit the /usr/bin/mousetrap file, and in this file I change the occurency of "python2.5" by "python".

Again an error.

So I launch the program with "sudo mousetrap", and this time it works !

But I can not use it (or I don't know how), I don't see any webcam display, nor menu to set it.

I read in the Ubuntu-fr wiki that to solve this problem i had to do:
- edit /usr/share/pyshared/mouseTrap/ocvfw.py , and change l.200 "if not status[counter]:" into if not status or not status[counter]:
- comment line 270 : #self.img.origin     = frame.origin

.. but this does not improve anything for me.

Please help !

Did you file a bug in Ubuntu's bugtracker about this?

Same here. This is Debian gnome-mousetrap 0.4-1
If i move pointer to screenedge and immediately
move back very quick, everything seems well. But
if the pointer is out of screen area the application
hangs. mouse cannot move untill mousetrap is killed.
