Bug Description

Binary package hint: beagle

I am unable to launch Beagle. When attempting to launch from terminal this is the error that I receive. Unfortunately, I haven't changed anything on my system since I last launched Beagle. I am unsure what would be causing this error.

All files related to Beagle look fine. I'm at a loss. Any thoughts?

I suspect the beagle-search script is being interpreted by dash not bash - dash doesn't support the -a option for exec.

I don't get this problem on Edgy with 0.2.9-1ubuntu3 installed. This is because
/usr/bin/beagle-search starts with #!/bin/bash - ie explicitly specifying that the script use bash.

Which version of Ubuntu are you using and which version of Beagle?

Cheers,

You're exactly right in your assumptions. After further research I
realized that this was probably the case. I am still using Dapper at
this time but corrected the aforementioned issue.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate your time!!
