I am a new ubuntu user using 12.04 version. I want to install webapps. However, I dont want the preview versions of webapps. I want latest versions. All the tutorials for installing webapps mention the preview. Please help me in this aspect.

Thank you

Update :

As mentioned in the comments below, I tried installing the webapps. However following error resulted :

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
unity-webapps-preview : Depends: xul-ext-unity but it is not going to be installed
                     Depends: xul-ext-websites-integration but it is not going to be installed
                     Depends: xul-ext-webaccounts but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

This error occured on Step 3 of the link in comments :

sudo apt-get install unity-webapps-preview

Can someone please tell me what is this and how to correct it ?

Thanks

  • you can install the version 1.9 with launchpad repo here. launchpad.net/~webapps/+archive/ubuntu/preview/… . But the latest version is 2.5

  • @DuminduMahawela . But this is also a preview version as I understand. I think full or latest version is not available for 12.04. Is that so ? (Sorry, but I ve just migrated from windows, and in windows, preview is something like alpha or beta version. )

  • yes latest version seems not available for 12.04. You can install Ubuntu 14.04 and run sudo apt-get install libunity-webapps0 . It is not a preview version.

  • I actually tried and uninstalled firefox from synaptic package manager. Then it says you need to have firefox. What kind of black magic is this ?

  • You dont get it. If firefox is installed, it gives error in comment 1, if it is not installed, it gives error in comment 2
