How to add periscope repository in Ubuntu
Featured
Updated Aug 23, 2010 by patrick....@gmail.com

Introduction

Ubuntu uses a powerful repository system to keep your software updated. This page tells you how to add the repository for periscope.

Details

Ubuntu 9.10 and after (Karmic Koala, Lucid Lynx) users, add the repository by typing in a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:patrick-dessalle/ppa

Other Ubuntu users, Open Synaptic (System > Administration > Synaptic Software Manager) Go to Settings > Repositories Click on the "Third-Party Software" tab and click on Add. The apt-line to insert is:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/patrick-dessalle/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

You can find more info on the PPA page: https://launchpad.net/~patrick-dessalle/+archive/ppa

The first command should be updated to:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:patrick-dessalle/ppa

This only adds the key.. not the repo. Please update.

Thanks.

your public key does not exist, plus this deb packages do not install on Ubuntu 8.10 even with all the python files installed - do I need a particular version of python..?

would love to get this installed to save me hours of searching..

cheers

@adressalacon I'll test it on my home machine and update it accordingly

@murray.greenheart periscope requires Python 2.6 to work. I'm trying to support the newest Ubuntu version without breaking too much the old ones. But as I can't keep multiple distros on my machine, I can't guarantee that it works.

You can maybe try using SVN

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04(lucid)64bits.

I've got the following error message after ran "apt-get update":

"Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/patrick-desalle/ppa/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."

Does that means the 64bit version is unavailable?

@rlvargas

It's just a typo, you missed a "s" : http://ppa.launchpad.net/patrick-de*S*salle/ppa/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz

I must say I didn't know my name would show up in the ppa when I first made it and retrospectively, I shouldn't have rushed and should have created a new account named "periscope" to push my packages.

Thanks for this great script!!!!

Periscope will run fine under terminal, but the nautilus plugin won't work. I'm under Linux Mint 11 ( Ubutnu 11.04 ) x64. Any suggestions?

Comment by lemont...@gmail.com, Oct 11, 2011

when the support for oneiric will be added? I guess it needs some newer version of python support or something.

Comment by drunkenm...@gmail.com, Oct 19, 2011

Nautilus plugin doesn't work in Ubuntu 11.10.

Comment by victoor....@gmail.com, Oct 19, 2011

also in need for oneiric support.

Comment by project member patrick....@gmail.com, Nov 10, 2011

Fix for Nautilus plugin in Oneiric is coming, just got a patch today in the issues section here.

Periscope works in Oneiric (command-line) but not yet in the new Gnome3 Nautilus.

Hi. Is this project still alive? I'm having trouble getting it to work on Ubuntu 12.04 with Python 2.7.3.

For instance, I'm getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/local/bin/periscope", line 5, in <module>
pkg_resources.run_script('periscope==dev', 'periscope')
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 499, in run_script

TypeError?: init() takes exactly 1 argument (3 given)
