It doesn’t work as the package doesn’t exist.
@Salistean
For ubuntu 10.10 not yet
Does it work on Karmic Koala? Because apt-get says it is unable to find gdocs-mount-gtk
http://ppa.launchpad.net/doctormo/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/g/google-docs-fs/google-docs-fs_0.2~lucid1_all.deb
pretty awesome. thanks for this tip! also, how do you go about disconnecting this “drive” in nautilus?
Do let us know when it’s been updated to work with Maverick.
Hi , it does not work for Ubuntu 9.10, Just for Lucid 10.04
DJX: just Lucid for now. (prob 10.10 soon)
via: https://launchpad.net/~doctormo/+archive/ppa
I got it to install after running this on the newly added repo file:
perl -pi -e ‘s/mavarick/lenny/g’ \
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/doctormo-ppa-maverick.list
Something, (perhaps the special characters in my password) are not compatible with that code.
Mark, could it be the typo in Maverick?
“perl -pi -e ‘s/mavarick/lenny/g’ \”
The repository is not quite available for me, so i installed them manually. Just WGET the following packages and install them:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/doctormo/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/g/google-docs-fs/google-docs-fs_0.2~lucid1_all.deb
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/52207348/python-gtkme_0.7.1-0doctormo2_all.deb
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/52206935/gdocs-mount-gtk_1.2-0ubuntu2_all.deb
Good luck!
One can also simply edit the software sources (eg via the software center) to specify lucid as distro instead of maverick. It still just doesn’t work anymore.
