Can't open via icon, must use sudo

[chsados]

I can only seem to open Pyrite via command line using sudo - when I click the icon nothing happens

OS: Ubuntu 13.10

[chiriones]

Same thing happens for me. If I run pyrite from the command line as a regular user, I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/pyrite/pyrite.py", line 37, in
import modules.core
ImportError: No module named modules.core

OS: Ubuntu 14.04

Update===============
$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/pyrite/modules/
$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/pyrite/ui/

That fixed it. I can run by clicking the icon now, or by running pyrite from the command line as a regular user.

Update#2=============
The above fix got the gui working but I could not encrypt because the .gnupg directory in my home directory was owned by root. Make it owned by me (chiriones) and in my default group (chiriones)
$ sudo chown chiriones:chiriones ~/.gnupg/

Update#3=============
Task Status side panel had the message
can't open '/home/chiriones/.gnupg/random_seed': Permission denied
note: random_seed file not updated

all the files in the directory are owned by root, so
$ sudo chown chiriones:chiriones ~/.gnupg/*
