Description

DesktopEdition throws an import exception.

Steps to reproduce

• Down the DesktopEdtion version 1.5.1 as root

  • Probably not a good idea?
• Under the root directory, use

tar xvf moin-desktop-1.5.1-1.tbz

• Change user setting in ~/moin-desktop/MoinMoin/server/standalone.py

  • Top what settings exactly?
• Under ~/ directory:

 cd moin-desktop
 ./moin.py
