Scripts don't seem to work on Karmic, is anybody else having this problem? When loading a script it doesn't do anything, it just says "Python initialized."

keywords: scripts don't work karmic 9.10 ubuntu 9.04 stalls lags doesn't do anything python error takes forever to load
I get...

ERROR
SCRIPT FAILED! : YOUTUBE <----- replace this with whatever script you choose. It's the same for all of them.

whenever I try to use one. The relevant section of the log is:

I have no idea what to make of that though. Can anyone else confirm that this is the same issue? Just go into your log file and look for that pattern. Info on log files can be found here.
Just installed Navi-X (script and video plugin) and Youtube video plugin a few hours ago and everything is running awesome! Running Karmic minimal install and XBMC RC1

edit: sorry my case may not be relevant as Im not running Live
I just followed the instructions for the latest XBMC in the karmic repositories.
Any updates?
is this just an issue with linux and LIVE?

I'm subscribed to this thread
What exactly is this "live"? I just want to run XBMC, apparently there's now something called "live", which I'm unaware of.

Edit: Oh I see it's like a "XBMCUbuntu", a live cd. No, I'm installing from the repositories as a stand-alone.

Edit2: Are scripts supposed to go under plugins?
Live is the official distribution for installation as a full operating system on a pc, a clean platform with no conflicting software to start with.

scripts should go under scripts.
