Samsung tools in 16.04.1 LTS

[ectatomma]

Hi, I just installed samsung tools in Xubuntu 16.04.1 LTS and want to let all know the problems I had and how I fixed them.

Edit: I just found a repo that made samsung-tools available for xenial:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mystic-mirage/loms
sudo apt-get update

Please, ingore the rest of the post.


After adding the repository, I had an error complaining about no finding the files for Xenial, so I went to the Xubuntu (or Ubuntu) settings, then openend "Software and updates" and configured the repo to use trusty instead of xenial

Then I updated the repos with

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

and problem solved, I was able to install samsung-tools.

Next, when I tried to open the program, nothing happened, so I opened a terminal and ran the program. I had the next error:

Code: Select all

eduar@samsungNP305U:~$ samsung-tools
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/samsung-tools", line 28, in <module>
    import dbus
ImportError: No module named dbus

After some research using Google, I found the culprit was a missing dependency: python-dbus, which also requires python-gi and phyton-qt4-dbus, so I installed them:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python-dbus python-gi phyton-qt4-dbus

After that, the program ran and I'm testing how it works, I'll let you now.[/size]

I'm having a problem in an similar environment, probably with dependencies.

There is a way to install samsung-tools with dependencies ?

When I run samsung-tools from prompt I have the following messages:
