Installing Thunar 1.8 on Ubuntu 18.04?

Hi,

in the ubuntu repo there is only thunar 1.6 available. when i try installing 1.8 using deb files i have problems with a lot of requirements. i can try to install all of them there are new problems with other requirements. the question is: can thunar 1.8 be installed on ubuntu 18.04 or do i need to upgrade to 18.10? normally i only use lts versions.

Re: Installing Thunar 1.8 on Ubuntu 18.04?

Xubuntu QA Experimental: https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+arc … perimental lists thunar version 1.8.2-1~18.04.

PPA description:

This is the experimental PPA for Xubuntu QA. The packages and package versions in this PPA may be found in a later version of Xubuntu. The packages are uploaded for the convenience of people testing these new package versions and features in an otherwise stable environment. Packages that have passed verification and will be included in the next stable version of Xubuntu will be moved to the Staging PPA.

As these packages (and new package versions) are primarily geared towards testing, they can be removed from the PPA at any time by the Xubuntu developers. Please DO NOT consider this PPA a main, stable source for the packages.
