    I have followed your answer, and it is the most forward way to install Mobile Partner, however, I would advise against it. It is full of bugs and compromises the security of your system. The most important one is that it adds ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL to your sudoers file which allows to run all sudo commands without password! Aug 2, 2013 at 7:47

    I couldn't agree with you more... It's a security threat.
