Running wammu installed in an alternative directory

[cristian]

Hello,

I use a linux distro and I've built wammu from sources and I've installed it in the /opt directory.
Unfortunately, I have not yet found a way to launch the application. How could I achieve this result by using the installation I made?

Waiting for a reply,

Regards,

Cristian.

If you've installed Wammu somewhere outside Python search path, you
need to tell it to search there, for example by setting PYTHONPATH
environment variable.

I've typed:

PYTHONPATH=/opt/wammu wammu

command, but terminal tells me wammu is not installed and it suggests me to install by 'sudo apt-get install wammu' command.

Exactly, what command should I type in the terminal?

Thanks.

PYTHONPATH=/opt/wammu wammu

Probably more like PYTHONPATH=/opt/wammu/lib/python2.7/site-packages,
but depends on Python version and distribution you're using.

I've typed:

PYTHONPATH=/opt/wammu/lib/python2.7/site-packages wammu

command and the PYTHONPATH exists, but again terminal tells me wammu is not installed and it suggests me to install by 'sudo apt-get install wammu' command.

I'm using the Ubuntu distro and I've got python2.7 installed in the os.

Exactly, what command should I type in the terminal?

Okay, it's even not in path? Then you probably need something like:

PYTHONPATH=/opt/wammu/lib/python2.7/site-packages /opt/wammu/bin/wammu

But still it depends on where you've installed Wammu.

Hi
PYTHONPATH=/opt/wammu/lib/python2.7/site-packages /opt/wammu/bin/wammu
But still it depends on where you've installed Wammu.

I've typed:

PYTHONPATH=/opt/wammu/lib/python2.7/site-packages /opt/wammu/bin/wammu

so, two dialogs appear. The first is named 'Wammu Error': it says «Failed to load image from file "./icon/wammu.png".» and in 'Details' I can see «can't open file './icon/wammu.png' (error 2: No such file or directory)» and «Failed to load image from file "./icon/wammu.png".».

The second one, named 'Unhandled exception', contains, exactly:

"Unhandled exception appeared. If you want to help improving this program, please report this together with description how this situation has happened. Please report in english, otherwise you will be most likely told to translate you report to english later.

Traceback:

The wammu.png icon is located into /opt/wammu/share/pixmaps.

Exactly, how should I change the command to type in the terminal?

Thanks.

Okay, it seems that Wammu is unable to find images in this case. This
should be fixed by following commit:

Ok, wammu main window appears. Besides it, wammu configuration request also appears. So, I've tried to make the guided configuration and when I get to 'Connection test' screen in 'Wammu Phone Configuration Wizard', an error message says:

"Failed to connect to phone

Description: Error opening device. Unknown, busy or no permissions.
Function: Init
Error code: 2"

If I look at wammu log (located into /tmp directory), I can see:

"[System error - open in serial_open, 16, "Dispositivo o risorsa occupata"]
Init:GSM_TryGetModel failed with error DEVICEOPENERROR[2]: Error opening device. Unknown, busy or no permissions."

Gammu version: 1.37.4, Wammu version: 0.44.

Waiting for a reply,

Thanks.

Hi

You probably need to add yourself to dialout group (or similar, depends
on your distribution). See our docs for more details:

https://wammu.eu/docs/manual/config/index.html#option-Device

I read in that page (although my user was already added to plugdev and dialout groups while getting those previously quoted error messages) as following:

"On Linux systems, you might lack permissions for some device nodes. You might need to be member of some group (eg. plugdev or dialout) or or add special udev rules to enable you access these devices as non-root."

Nevertheless, I've launched wammu also with root permissions (by 'PYTHONPATH=/opt/wammu/lib/python2.7/site-packages sudo /opt/wammu/bin/wammu' command) and when I get to 'Connection test' screen in 'Wammu Phone Configuration Wizard', an error message says:

"Failed to connect to phone

Timeout while trying to communicate with phone. Maybe phone is not connected (for cable) or out of range (for bluetooth or IrDA)."

If I look at wammu log (located into /tmp directory), I can see:
