Quantum GISWith 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

  1. 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):
    File “”, line 1, in
    RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v7.0 to v7.1 but the qgis.core module requires API v6.0

    Version de Python :
    2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:28:26)
    [GCC 4.4.3]

    Chemin vers Python :
    ['/usr/share/qgis/python', '/home/ecochange/.qgis//python', '/home/ecochange/.qgis//python/plugins', '/usr/share/qgis/python/plugins', '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gst-0.10', '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode', '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages']

    What happenned??

  2. j’ai résolu ce problème avec la commande suivante (faite après la procédure vue ci-dessus):

    sudo apt-get install python-qgis

  3. 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.
