Oops, I forgot to mention the packages are in ppa:canonical-x/x-staging. The following should get you set up for testing: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-x/x-staging $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade I don't think you need to dist-upgrade for this as there shouldn't be any new packages or packages needing to be removed, but I'm not entirely certain. -- Chase -- Ubuntu-x mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-x
