How do I install libmtp 0.3.5-1 ?

[anthony2010]

Hi all.

I have a samsung q1. Id love to have this player read by my KDE. So I posted on an outer site regarding this and got the following response:

"got my Samsung Yp-Q1 finaly working under Ubuntu 9.04.
I had to install the newer libmtp 0.3.5-1, because Ubuntu 9.04 has the libmtp 0.3.0.
So i added this ppa from this site https://edge.launchpad.net/~mieszkoslus ... chive/ppa/
Than i updatet libmtp and than i created a group "audio" with the number "660" and added root and myself to this group. After a restart I can connect with amarok to my q1."

Oh how I wish I knew what exactly to download and once downloaded as a tar.gz or Tar.bz ( whichever) what do do with it! Ive never been able to figure out this un tar 'ing malarchy!

Could someone help me please? Im soooo out of my depth here!

anyone!

it is a repository you added so it should install the deb binary, no tarball hopefully.

edit /etc/atp/sources.list and add
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mieszkoslusarczyk/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
save and close, change jaunty to intrepid if other entries in sources.list are using intrepid.
now you have to add the key
so follow the instructions given from the link

or
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 071013EE

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libmtp

try that

Hi Boo.

Please forgive, I could not make any sense of that.

I havent added any repositories. I wouldn't know how to.

I really need a janet and John version of your post. Open this, do that, click this, make a cup of tea, start that and finish with this, kind of delivery!

Any chance? Please?

I went to the link and got to jaunty main but there were so many options, I didnt know what to do.

Hi, its a while on now and I still havent figured out how to add this repo. I get a messsage saying 'deb not found' in the terminal. Also if I try to copy and paste the key into sources.list.d I cant. I think because its in root or something.

Isnt there an easier way to install this one file? I only want my mp3 player to work with my kde.

Alternatively, for those not so technically minded ( such as myself) could we have this libmtp3.5 added to the next distribution? It would be so much easier!

Im out of my depth and the answer given assumed I had added the repo, I hadnt. The person who I quoted added it. I just dont know how to.

Please, where do I start?

ant.

Code: Select all

kdesudo kate /etc/atp/sources.list

Add the line(change jaunty to intrepid if on felicia):

Code: Select all

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mieszkoslusarczyk/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

Save. Open konsole and run

Code: Select all

apt update && apt install libmtp

[anthony2010]

Thanks merlwiz,

I typed in :kdesudo kate /etc/atp/sources.list

I got an error message saying 'Command not found'

I also have the file for this libmtp3.5 on my desktop. There are 2 tar.gz files inside. If i cd to them and try ./configure = No joy, make and make install yeild no results either. I also tried gksu and got the bouncy cogwheel. Encouraged that something may have happenned, i then tried the next line but got 'Bash; deb; command not found'

Recently I tried adding a program from the main site and it stripped out my system. I managed to get it back, but i wonder if thats the reason no commands I put in seem to be working?

Thanks

ant.

This is the kdes area, you can't have kde without kdesudo.
Try gksu if you're not on kde.

Hi

When you stripped you system here:

Your bash commands were working OK

Have you reinstalled Kate? go to Synaptic as in previous post
and install Kate

Code: Select all

then hit (for insert)
go down with the arrow-key
and insert

Code: Select all

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mieszkoslusarczyk/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

then hit [ESC]
then type

Code: Select all

:qw

(for write and quit)
after that

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libmtp

hiyas all. Thanks so much for the help thus far.

Ive installed kate again and followed the procedure. I get the following:

W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 9423A34CCA967634
W: Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.tribler.org/dists/intrepi ... ackages.gz 404 Not Found

Boo tried to tell you in the beginning! You need to add the key. Take things from the start again and check everything as you go. Text you see in the "code select all" boxes can be copy and pasted to where ever you need to put them. When you see the word "run" paste that into a terminal ok.

First add the repository. Run:

Code: Select all

kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list

When the text editor comes up copy and paste this

Code: Select all

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mieszkoslusarczyk/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main

to the file and save and close. (from what I read there the package that you want has been backported to Intrepid)

Now you need to add the key. Run:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 071013EE 

Update Apt so that the system will see what you have added. Run:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Let it update and finish.

Now Install the package that your after. Run:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libmtp

This should get you going. You may be able to just install the key instead of re-doing everything, but I would start afresh and recheck everything.

Hi there.

Im going to give up and hope that a suitable libmtp is included in a future edition of mint.

I get this:

Ive had enough of wrestling with this. I just want to use my mp3 player ( which is a samsung q1) to work. It doesnt and I cant be bothered trying anymore. Please can we have this libmtp 3.5 be included in the next edition of kde?

Thanks for trying to help all.

anthony@Dragon ~ $ apt-get update
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the list directory

If you get a "permission denied" error in an application, you normally have to be root to do this.
so try

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Or just ignore this signature error...

Code: Select all

W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 9423A34CCA967634

I have also one or two every time I update my system, but it updates just fine...
