How to execute udiskie without installing about udiskie HOT 6 CLOSED

You can do it as follows:

• Remove system installation (needs root):

sudo pacman -S udiskie # install udiskie with all dependencies
sudo pacman -R udiskie # remove udiskie but leave dependencies installed
sudo pip uninstall udiskie # if you had udiskie installed with pip

• Install udiskie into a fresh virtualenv

# Make a new virtualenv in the folder 'test-env'. The option
# --system-site-packages means that python packages from the default python
# installation can be used (which is important for non-trivial dependencies
# such as pygobject):
virtualenv --system-site-packages test-env

# activate the virtualenv in your current shell
source test-env/bin/activate

# install udiksie in 'develop' mode, meaning that every change to the source
# code is visible immediately (when restarting udiskie):
python setup.py develop

# deactivate the virtualenv
deactivate

• Use the udiskie virtualenv installation

source test-env/bin/activate
udiskie -vt
deactivate

Note, doing it this way, you will not be able to use the custom gtk icons.

Sorry, there were some minor mistakes in the initial message above. I edited it, so I think it should be correct now.

I got this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/tmp/udiskie/test-env/bin/udiskie", line 9, in
load_entry_point('udiskie==0.6.4', 'console_scripts', 'udiskie')()
File "/tmp/udiskie/udiskie/cli.py", line 165, in daemon
import pynotify as notify_service
ImportError: No module named pynotify

from udiskie.

Sorry, my mistake. I removed pynotify along with udiskie

I have to have made something wrong. I still get my messages in Spanish. Even when I deleted everything from my previous installation. My guess: some dirty file somewhere.

Nevermind again. There was an old udiskie process running. It works now thanks!
