With all the rave reviews that Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx has been getting over the past couple of months, I couldn’t help myself upgrading and checking out the exciting new features and the enhanced interface, which I think was a much needed overhaul for the best desktop Linux OS.
A new version meant fresh installation of all the open source GIS goodies starting with QGIS. The latest version 1.4.0-Enceladus for Lucid is already available in the Launchpad UbuntuGIS repository and with a new command (add-apt-repository) for updating /etc/apt/sources.list with locations of repositories, the installation is simple and straightforward.
Bring up the terminal and issue the following commands.
Add the repository using:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
Make apt aware of the new repository:
sudo apt-get update
Install QGIS
sudo apt-get install qgis
Once the installation is done, open QGIS from Applications -> Science -> Quantum GIS

Everything seems to be good BUT
(Sorry) when I launched QGIS I got the message:
=================================================
Impossible de charger PyQGIS.
Le support python va être désactivé.
Traceback (most recent call last):

What happenned??
j’ai résolu ce problème avec la commande suivante (faite après la procédure vue ci-dessus):
sudo apt-get install python-qgis
When I go to add the repository, it gives me the following error message:
gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn’t connect to host
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
Any idea what i might be doing wrong?
Thanks.
