How can I run the GUI of prey 0.6.2 in Ubuntu 14.04?

What happens when you try to run it. Errors?

Actually I can't find the app in the Dash. I don't know how to run it!

If it should have a dash entry then please report a bug. Trusty is not ready and not stable.

If you type:

pr

Then press TAB, does it autocomplete?

Yes, prey 0.6.2 is supposed to have a GUI. I just don't know how to run it.

No, it doesn't auto-complete in the terminal.

How did you install it? Look for files named prey using catfish search.

I installed from Ubuntu archives. It's the same as Debian's. Here is a list of all files https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/prey/filelist

cd /usr/lib/prey/platform/linux
./prey-config.py

^sudo/root permissions may be needed for the last command (I don't know enough about this program to say).

LOL, Facundo beat me to the punch by a few seconds. Please make sure you credit him if that answer is sufficient.

Daniel,

You need root to run the config , the reason is that the config GUI edit the Crontab and the config file in /etc/prey/.
I'm the maintainer of this package in Debian. http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/prey.html

Thanks Facundo and Daniel for your answers.

Another question, is there an easier way to run the GUI for non-experienced users coming new to Ubuntu? I don't mind at all using the terminal, but a user using prey on other platforms would think that a little confusing.

Thanks Facundo guerrero, that solved my question.

I am also having the same problem. I am not able to open prey gui. When I use sudo /usr/lib/prey/platform/linux/prey-config.py

I get command not found error. So what should I do
