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! – Gerhard Burger Aug 2 '13 at 7:47

I couldn't agree with you more... It's a security threat. – Naveen Oct 1 '13 at 6:42
