How to install the latest version of Gwibber in Ubuntu Karmic?
- What you have done in the previous step is installing the stable version of Gwibber(which may be old). Alternatively you could try the latest version of Gwibber(which will include daily updates and hence may result in a not-so-stable Gwibber) by doing the following.
- You will have to add the Gwibber daily launchpad repo. For that, simply copy-paste the foloowing command in Terminal(Applications - Accessories - Terminal)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwibber-team/ppa
- Done. Now you need to update the repo and install the latest Gwibber. For that, again simply copy-paste the following commands in Terminal one by one.
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gwibber
- Done. Have fun :-)
