Thuban crash on startup.

Did you compile Thuban yourself?

Yes, downloaded tar.gz and extracted spec file from 1.0.0,
then rpm to build RPM.
thuban

[neteler at localhost disstext]$ thuban
Eine unbehandelte Ausnahme ist aufgetreten:
'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xfc' in position 27: ordinal not in range
(please report to http://thuban.intevation.org/bugtracker.html)

--------------------------------------------
Here the trick:

[neteler at localhost neteler]$ touch ~/.thuban/thubanstart.py

[neteler at localhost neteler]$ thuban

WORKS! I mean, it opens the GUI (see next bug report).

Regards

 Markus Neteler

PS: I would like to demonstrate Thuban next week in Munich...
    Recommendations are welcome.
