Linux MINT 22 does not install woeusb-ng

[jamesnasa]

I tried to install woeusb-ng on the Linux Mint 22 distribution but the externally-managed-enviroment error appears as shown in the following photo. Is there a step by step solution?

thank you

I also have the same problem but don't know how to fix it. I used the .deb (2022-01-07 05:53) package, and it works. WoeUSB-ng_v0.2.10.deb

[jamesnasa]

Eu também tenho o mesmo problema, mas não sei como consertar. Usei o pacote .deb (2022-01-07 05:53) e funciona. WoeUSB-ng_v0.2.10.deb

instalei e nao funciona, qual o link para baixar

(edit: if the above link is dead, use this link: https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/osdn/woeusb-ng/76517/)

sudo dpkg -i WoeUSB-ng_v0.2.10.deb (if gives error)
Run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-wxgtk4.0 (error?)
Use this command if it gives error:
sudo apt --fix-broken install

And run again:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install python3-wxgtk4.0
sudo dpkg -i WoeUSB-ng_v0.2.10.deb

I don't see it creating an icon in the menu for the app; but when it installs successfully it automatically launches the app and I use it.

I use ZorinOs 16.3 baseon ubuntu 22.04. I back to win11.

The issue is that Python now will not let you install via pip without using venv or virtualenv any longer.

you have to use
python3 -m venv WoeUSB
or equivalent and then
source WoeUSB/bin/activate
from there you can either install via source or pip3 install WoeUSB-ng

Also the directions seem to forget to tell you for wxPython you have to install libgtk-3-dev or your distro equivalent

[jamesnasa]

**nguyendangkin ** c

funcionou perfeitamente, sua dica foi ótima muito obrigado. O problema era que instalava mas não apresentava o ícone na área de trabalho foi só criar o ícone e resolveu tudo igual você mencionou

[jamesnasa]

O problema é que agora o Python não permite mais a instalação via pip sem usar venv ou virtualenv.

você tem que usar python3 -m venv WoeUSB ou equivalente e então source WoeUSB/bin/activate a partir daí você pode instalar via fonte ou pip3 instalar WoeUSB-ng

Além disso, as instruções parecem esquecer de informar que para o wxPython você precisa instalar o libgtk-3-dev ou o equivalente de sua distribuição.

o nosso colega nguyendangkin mandou uma solução que resolveu agradeço a sua informação

[TheBitcoinBaron]

So in simple terms this is not possible on linux mint? If it is someone paste the exact commands to be used plz

[JonnyTech]

Try this:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git p7zip-full python3-pip python3-wxgtk4.0 grub2-common grub-pc-bin parted dosfstools ntfs-3g pipx libgtk2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev
sudo pipx install WoeUSB-ng
woeusbgui

And if you keep having issues with wxPython not compiling, get the wheel off of their own server and install it into your home folder somewhere. Then, pass pipx some extra arguments: --pip-args="--only-binary=wxpython --find-links=/path/to/wheelfile"

That'll force Pip to only use pre-compiled wheel binaries, and since it can't find any wheels for wxPython on PyPi, it'll look in the /path/to/wheelfile location for a source. It'll then use that precompiled binary.

You can also forego the complexity here by just making a simple python venv, installing the wheel binary first with pip install wheelbinary.whl (from within the venv), and then do the same woeusb-ng.

If you find any errors relating to permissions denied on the /usr/bin folders and alike, take ownership of them or change them to a directory that's actually in your user's control.

don't run pip with sudo.

Find your wheels here, but take care to pick the one for your version of python. Ubuntu 24.x is the correct base for LM 22.x: https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-24.04/

Unfortunately it doesn't work on my PC, when I try to install with pip3 after those commands, I got permission error

Please elaborate and/or post the actual error and the context.

Had a similar permission error when installing with your method, here is the full output with the error:

              Python recognizes 'WoeUSB.locale.sv.LC_MESSAGES' as an importable package[^1],
              but it is absent from setuptools' `packages` configuration.
      
              This leads to an ambiguous overall configuration. If you want to distribute this

Suffering from the same error list as @Theinventor777.
Anyone got a serious hint/clue?
The error messages indicate that the setuptools configuration is missing explicit inclusions for packages like WoeUSB.data, WoeUSB.locale, and its subdirectories. This leads to warnings that these packages will be ignored, and ultimately causes the build process to fail.

It seems that newer versions of setuptools are stricter about this configuration, while older versions might have been more tolerant.
