Hi everybody;
if you are interested in Ubuntu alpha versions (same as me

), here i provide a guide to make it working. It is a bit difficult than earlier alpha versions of Ubuntu 11.04 because, there are missing libraries(gnome panel).
Warning!!!
This guide is for 64 bit architecture only!!! If you are runing 32 bit (x86), you must use x86 packages of
python-gnomeapplet, download links are
here , you have to replace wget in step 5!!!
1. Do a upgrade from Ubuntu 11.04 to Ubuntu 11.10 alpha 2
Code:
sudo su
Code:
do-release-upgrade -d
2. When you finish (incl. reboot), you'll find there aren't samsung tools and samsung backlight installed. Don't worry!!!
3. Through software center navigate to software sources and allow voria ppa repositories(AND CHANGE Oneiric to Natty).
4. Wait for sources update
5. Launch terminal and type:
Code:
sudo su
Code:
apt-get update
Code:
wget http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gnome-python-desktop/python-gnomeapplet_2.32.0-1_amd64.deb
Code:
dpkg -i python-gnomeapplet_2.32.0-1_amd64.deb
Code:
apt-get install samsung-tools samsung-backlight
Code:
reboot
6. Now check if it works and enjoy!!!
Note: Sorry for my bad english.
Note2: If wget in step 5 doesn't works, try replacing url to
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gnome-python-desktop/python-gnomeapplet_2.32.0-1_amd64.deb or somethink from
http://packages.debian.org/en/sid/amd64/python-gnomeapplet/download.
Tested on:
Samsung N210 (czech modificated)
Ubuntu 11.10 alpha 2 upgraded from 11.04 on 64 architecture
