In fact, RabbitVcs is very easy to install... Except when there's a problem, and then... one can search for a long time 😟
Here's how to resolve most installation issues on Ubuntu 14.04LTS.
1 – Add the source
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rabbitvcs/ppa
or add the source to your /etc/apt/sources.list file
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/rabbitvcs/ppa/ubuntu trusty main
2 – Install the packages
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-cli rabbitvcs-core rabbitvcs-gedit rabbitvcs-nautilus3
3 – Manage the problems
Library issues with python (if there's a problem, it might not be immediately visible, so you need to test if this solves the issue, or not):
#remplacer les numero de versions selon votre systeme sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0 /usr/lib/ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1 /usr/lib/
Replace the script with the latest version:
sudo wget http://rabbitvcs.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/clients/nautilus-3.0/RabbitVCS.py /usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions
Change the permissions
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.config/rabbitvcs
Enable folder/file icons in Nautilus:
sudo gconftool-2 –type bool –set /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons true
If Nautilus is stuck on the clock icon for folders/files:
sudo pgrep -f service.py | xargs kill; nautilus -q; nautilus
