Can you provide more information? What distro are you using? How did you install it? Package manager?

I am using Ubuntu 8.04.1, I added the sources and installed it through the terminal. I updated from 0.5.99 to 0.6.0 through terminal also. I remember installing some sort of kernel updates or something, told me it needs to restart, I restart and now it doesn't open. I looked in Package Manager history to see the updates I installed, it doesn't show them.

Add the gnome-do repo's and then try installing via synaptic.. I'm sure it will work just fine if you do that. If you add the gnome-do repositories it will auto update to the latest version.

I already have, I mixed up my words, sorry. So this still doesn't answer my problem, I hope I can get it fixed soon because I just realized how hard and slow it is to use my computer without Do.

For some reason, I had to update the Kernel again, and that's three times in total today, and GNOME-Do works again. Some sort of technical glitch ^_^

Thank you for your assistance, sorry for wasting your time, also keep up the good work on GNOME Do (First thing I install with a fresh install of Ubuntu) :)

Ok, I have a problem now - gnome-do had no preferences, and I deleted the folders containing plugins, and recovered preferences that way.

then I opened preferences, and gnome-do crashed. I uninstalled it first with apt-get purge, then reinstalled - and it won't start!
:~$ gnome-do
...
just nothing there. Using synaptic gets the same problem!

Sorry, fixed it now! I'd reset the X server twice, but tht wasn't enough! It needed a reboot...
