jwishnie_hello all. Having a problem with keyboard layout settings. When I set them from the mcs-settings panel, they revert to old settings when I logout, and log back in04:00
jwishnie_googling brings up reference to an app called 'xfkc' which is _not_ in Xubuntu (but available in Debian Lenny) that must be called with 'xfkc --apply' at the beginning of a session. Is there an equivalent when using the Keyboard panel via MCS??04:01

JammetHello there....09:30
JammetI've been using xubuntu for a while now, but I was wondering... is there a way to actually update to more recent versions of specific programs? Without compiling them? I would prefer to keep using the package system for that.09:31
TheSheepJammet: check getdeb.net09:31
TheSheepJammet: some programs will also offer a .deb fle for download form the project's page09:31
JammetThanks!09:34
JammetIs there a way to perhaps add this as a source in the package manager?09:36
TheSheepJammet: I don't think so09:44

ubottuIf new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging11:32
