I was able to install the SMEStorage client (Linux Virtual Cloud drive and Linux Desktop Sync Tool) using their .deb file on my Quantal chroot. It had a little trouble with dependencies but after I did a 'apt-get -f install' it still complained a little but everything seems to work - both the gui and the command line stuff. I've setup a script that mounts my GDrive in my Downloads folder so I have access to it in the chroot & cros - sweet.

[ sudo smemount ${HOME}/${Folder_Loc} ${Login_Creds} ${User_Name} --ao ]

It's very handy to copy files back & forth, store backups, etc. from the command line without going through the gui's. I haven't tried this on any other chroots but I suspect the newer the release, the less trouble I'll have with the installation.

Neat! Wiki page?

Okay, I'll run through the install again and try to record/remember all the vital steps and then attempt a wiki write-up. I've never contributed to a wiki before and I'm not much of a word-smith (ha, ha) but I'll give it a go...

@david - I've written up a preliminary 'How To' and hope it's what you had
in mind, if not, I'll fix it :)
Check out -
https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/wiki/Install-'SME-Storage-Made-Easy'-package-for-local-access

Note: I made some screenshots but found out later I couldn't just simply
paste them in or upload them, they need a url I guess. I you feel they're
needed, I'll try to find a web home for them and insert the links.

If you attach the images here, I'll upload them to the wiki and let you know how to link to them. It's not a straightforward process.

Okay, here they are (all of them may not be needed).

Here's one more I forgot earlier - sorry; I've since added lines in the
wiki that show where they go.

@artem - Sorry you're having problems.

I loaded mine in a quantal chroot (12.10) the first time and, like you,
from the command line using dpkg and had a few problems initially but after
I ran 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install' it still complained
a little but worked.

In my raring chroot (13.04), I double-clicked the .deb file and it opened
up in the Software Center and installed without any complaints.

I saw just today some articles about this and they said, mainly, to make
sure that the restricted and universe repositories are enabled and run
'sudo apt-get update' after any changes. It's evidently a problem others
have encountered since they discuss on the SME forum.

The SME forum article is here -
http://thesmespace.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=6290884
and a troubleshooting guide is here -
http://askubuntu.com/questions/140246/how-do-i-resolve-unmet-dependencies
The package installs form source so it works well once installed.

The Chrome Web Store SME Cloud Dashboard Pro
apphttps://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/storage-made-easy-cloud-d/fifbddboijfpcjflfocelaelpbefjbhais
actually pretty cool too.

Hopefully this info. will help you get things resolved.

Thanks @DennisLfromGA, that was actually my thread on their forum :-) Nothing advised so far helped me. Will be looking further.

Thanks anyway for looking into this for me.

Sorry, Artem, I really need to start paying attention to the posts and
OP's. I just made a similar blunder with moocow1452(Joey) the other day. ;-(

After I got your email yesterday, I logged in to my raring chroot and added
Software Center and then just double-clicked on the .deb file and it opened
up in the Software Center and installed without any complaints - and it
worked. I don't know if it's Software Center taking care of the
dependencies or I just either already had them or I didn't run into any
conflicts with the ones I have.
You could try to purge the SME package, load Software Center and then
install it again just for kicks, hopefully it'll work... :)

A good combo for installing downloaded .deb files via CLI:

sudo dpkg -i --force-depends the_deb_file.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

The first will install the package ignoring missing dependencies. The second will tell apt-get to figure out how to resolve all of the missing dependencies. If it is unable to resolve dependencies (i.e. the .deb depends on things not in the repos), it will remove the package you attempted to install.

Thanx David, good to know. I've run into Artem's situation fairly often
with other packages and this method will help weed out the problems.

Thanks @dnschneid and @DennisLfromGA for your help. I think I tried all of the options mentioned above, but unfortunately none of them helped. Looks like something got corrupted on my side that prevents dependencies to be installed. I'll be digging deeper this weekend, a good chance to know Linux better.

Will post here what I've found.

@artemkolotilkin it looks like you have a PPA that's trying to provide qt4, but didn't update the libqt4-core package. If you're not using that PPA for anything else, you should remove it, apt-get update, then try installing libqt4-core again.

As I mentioned above "I've already tried that". I removed all PPAs already - still no luck.

Did you do an apt-get update afterwards? Do you still see but 4:4.8.4+dfsg-0ubuntu12~ubuntu13.04~ppa1 is to be installed when you go to install it? If so, the PPA has not been removed (or you haven't run sudo apt-get update). If not, then could you post the error messages you get now?

@artem and others using a raring 13.04 chroot -
I just saw an item on the SME Forums that speaks about installing SME Linux
Tools vers. 4.07.
The link is here but since it's brief I'll show it below -

The current version of the SME Linux Tools (4.07) have an issue with the
new Ubuntu 13.04 distro. we will fix in 4.08 but a quick fix for 13.07 is:.

  • install "make" using the command:

sudo apt-get install make

and install/reinstall the SME tools package again
