Download and install
Last modified: September 7, 2011Via PPA it’s really easy to install and use udev-discover-0.2 (Ubuntu 11.04 Natty / 10.11 Oneiric users only):
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:fontanon/udev-discover$ sudo apt-get update$ sudo apt-get install udev-discover$ udev-discover
Lastest udev-discover version is 0.2 which can be downloaded here:
http://launchpad.net/udev-discover/0.2/0.2.0/+download/udev-discover-0.2.tar.gz
You can download it from master development repository, though:
https://github.com/fontanon/udev-discover/archives/master
Installation tips:
Udev-discover GUI has been developed with Gtk3. It needs Gobject Introspection Repository (gir) bindings for python.
Dependencies:
- python >= 2.6
- python-gobject
- python-gudev
- gir1.2-gtk-3.0
- gir1.2-gconf-2.0
- gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0
Run as root:
$ python setup.py install [--prefix=/this/is/optional]
You may also need to call, as root …:
$ gtk-update-icon-cache -f -t $(datadir)/icons/hicolor
… for the gtk icons cache being properly updated where $(datadir) could be whether /usr/share or the prefix setted on installing.
I am running 11.10, and after installing and running from ppa, I got the error:
AttributeError: ‘DeviceFinder’ object has no attribute ‘__goobject_init__’
Then i checked and python-goobject is already the newest version. Looks like a
great tool, but no joy. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!
It seems we’ve a bug to fix for 11.10
