GUI not found - Ubuntu 16.04 install from source #111

Premise: I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I've downloaded the latest 1.71 release tarball and installed it with sudo checkinstall ./install.sh. Checkinstall is like make file but with a builtin monitoring of what goes where in the system for easier removal.

The installation went successfully, in the shell laptop_mode is an available command however when heading to /usr/sbin/, the end path lmt-config-gui isn't available as stated in the wiki

If checkinstall ./install.sh invokes install.sh correctly, then it should be there.

Looking at the line https://github.com/rickysarraf/laptop-mode-tools/blob/6eede656bf7dfd2cb6708fb3c51de21b83ab6097/install.sh#L202, I fail to see why it shouldn't be there.

Could you please provide the logs for checkinstall ?

Well I eventually installed directly using the install.sh and the GUI now it is there. I suppose checkinstall didn't worked as expected but I'm afraid I don't have the logs anymore.
