First you need to connect to internet some how beause some packages need to be installed. I had similar issue with my tatadocomo3g dongle. So I connected to internet using win7 and downloaded sakis3g and ran it on ubuntu(I have dual boot OS with win7 and Ubuntu 13.10).
You can get Sakis3g from here. Extract it and open a terminal and run sakis3g.
Then follow only steps explained in here to connect to internet. Now you are connected to internet.
Then if you want to install photon dashboard then follow these steps (remove Photon3G folder in /opt if you have already installed it once and if not working.)
- Before start installing open softwarecenter and install wvdial (some times if yout software center not detecting connection then run
sudo stop network-manager
in terminal)
- Open the Linux folder in Photon3G datacard and copy PCL_TATADOCIND.tar.gz to Desktop folder and extract it.
- Open it go to tools then open deb then open qt and open
libqt3-mt_3.3.8-b-0ubuntu3_i386.deb
using softwarecenter and install it, also install libaudio2_1.9.1-1_i386.deb
.
- Then go back to deb/wvdial folder and install
libwvstreams4.4-base_4.4.1-0.2ubuntu2_i386.deb
then after that libwvstreams4.4-extras_4.4.1-0.2ubuntu2_i386.deb
then libuniconf4.4_4.4.1-0.2ubuntu2_i386.deb
, libxplc0.3.13_0.3.13-1build1_i386.deb
and libmng1_1.0.9-1_i386.deb
one by one using softwarecenter. (If it shows already latest version installed then no problem otherwise install.)
- Now after installed all packages you are ready to install.
Open terminal type
cd Desktop/
cd PCL_TATADOCIND/
sudo sh install.sh
Now it will install properly and Photon3G software will start working.
This is how I installed Tataphoton3g software and it is working in ubuntu 13.10 :-).
