[ubuntu] Remmina from Quantal on Precise (How to install)

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi. I'm on Precise using the standard Remmina from the repoes, but it's got some annoying window placement bugs. I tested Quantal, and discovered that the bugs have been fixed in the version shipped with Quantal. In both version of Remmina, under "About", it's the same version number, "0.9.99.1". Why don't they put the "fewer bugs version" in Precise, or how can I install it there (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Remmina from Quantal on Precise (How to install)

The latest version (0.9.99.1) of Remmina does NOT have the nifty "Service Discovery" feature I had grown dependent on for my work.

I had tried to install a git copy of ver 1.0, and that too doesnt have that feature even though it was built with avahi support.

I already had a previous version from a PPA I had duting oneric that carried over to my Precise upgrade.

You have your Precise based 5 year LTS "X" distro, but you don't want to go the new "X" with the Quantal base with only less than 1.5 years already. Some of these "X" distros a spewing out "release candidates," "development releases" with the Quantal, long after Quantal was released--20 days ago.

Examples;

1) Mint 13 Maya to Nadia.

On my System76 Lemur Ultra Thin (lemu4) notebook PC, I tried Ubuntu 12.04.1 64 bit LTS Precise Pangolin and Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit Quantal Quetzal and I have to say that Precise Pangolin was much better. It's a lot more stable and reliable. I have no problems with Linux kernel 3.2.0-34-generic whatsoever.

I currently have Quantal Quatzal 12.10 but I'm wondering if I should switch to Precise Pangolin 12.04 LTS...I heard 12.10 was less stable and more things are available for 12.04. Also, why is 12.04 being supported longer than 12.10, I don't understand why there are LTS ones and newer ones aren't LTS, unless 12.10 is like some sort of "beta"...Thanks :)

In order to install remastersys I'm trying to confirm: 1. my version of Lubuntu (12.04, 11, 10 or whatever) and 2. the name of it, eg precise, oneiric, lucid etc

I followed the instructions on http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu.html

When I got to the point 3 I might have made a mistake. 3.

[SOLVED] Two Grubs- Confusing 19 weeks 4 days ago

I have both Precise and Quantal installed on separate partitions on same HDD.

While installing Quantal, in my forgetfulness I let it install Grub. No issues so far. Machine works fine.

However, whenever there is Grub version upgrade on either versions of Ubuntu or if I run update-grub in either the Grub gets replaced by the version where the upgrade or update happened.

Let me be more clear.

Greetings,

System information:

Code: $ uname -a && cat /etc/*release Linux pixel 3.6.10-030610-generic #201212101650 SMP Mon Dec 10 21:51:40 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS" NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="12.04.1 LTS, Precise Pangolin" ID=u

Well, the Elementary devs are not going to release their own Luna in the foreseeable future--they are saying that their distro is not like any other and it must be without bugs to come out.

They even said, if I move Luna Beta 1 to Quantal and/or Raring, I would get updates etc.

So, I took the challenge and build "their" Luna with Quantal mini.iso and with their Quantal applications.

On Ubuntu Precise 12.04, the package osm2pgsql is currently at 0.70.5+r25090-2ubuntu2. However I need to install a newer version 0.80 but apt-get update does not provide the newer version.

Question: I found the 0.80 version in the Ubuntu quantal's repo at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/osm2pgsql/0.80.0+r27899-1ubuntu1, is there any way to install this when I'm on Ubuntu 12.04?
