Bug Description

I had a reinstall of my Ubuntu system today (9.04-32Bit), and I installed the latest version of LottaNZB as per instructions on your download page. I should note that I used previous versions without problems, but I have noticed that I got version 0.5.1 this time.

I get this error when I try to start it:

22:30:08 environ No en_DK translation found for domain kiwi

Hi front243,

this is a known problem. Until we release LottaNZB 0.5.1, which fixes the problem, you can work around it by creating a directory called ".local" (it's a hidden one) in your home directory and one called "share" in the just created directory. You should be able to launch LottaNZB now.
