I would like to upgrade gnome-terminal to the latest version. Is that possible on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS?
I am using version 3.6.2 of gnome-terminal.
I have tried:
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade gnome-terminal
and it says gnome-terminal is already the newest version.
You have two ways to upgrade your terminal from 3.6.2 (stable) to the latest 3.12.3 and read step by step do not run apt-upgrade unless you done installing.
1st solution with Gnome3/staging PPA
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-terminal
2nd solution with this PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:towolf/transparent-gnome-terminal
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-terminal
Though this PPA may require Gnome3/staging PPA to be installed also, this 2nd PPA contains different fixes and patches on RGB schema and transparency, opacity etc.
Notice!
After you add PPAs like Gnome3/staging beware of upgrading as you can even damage your system this is the latest bleeding edge updates and they don't guarantee the stability, so after you install gnome-terminal it's better to purge them e.g.:
sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo apt-get update
(PPA-purge has to be installed 1stly sudo apt-get install ppa-purge)
