I tried to add the ppa https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/kinetic/+source/thunar but it says it does not exist, and I don't exactly know how to use that branch of that ppa to upgrade my thunar to the newest version without having to install the 22.10 preview

jonathan@hellion:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu/thunar
[sudo] password for jonathan: 
ERROR: ppa 'ubuntu/thunar' not found (use --login if private)

Do you know if it is possible ?

  • I'm confused; you provided a non-PPA launchpad link, yet your question talks about a PPA? What OS & release are you using, as kinetic is currently off-topic. FYI: The version of thunar you appear to what is what I have installed; no PPA was required -- but your issue is confusion about what launchpad is; it's a lot more than just PPAs and what you're chasing isn't a personal package archive, but the main kinetic packages built for daily ISOs, or kinetic installs via apt etc. – guiverc Jun 20 '22 at 22:52
  • Basically, I am on Jammy Jellyfish which has Thunar 4.16.x version and I would like to get the 4.17.x, so I want to switch from the Jellyfish to Kinetic for only that specific package. – Jonathan Schoreels Jun 22 '22 at 14:23
  • Which means installing thunar (https://packages.ubuntu.com/kinetic/thunar) and all it's requirements from kinetic too where jammy has no suitable requirements; ie. you want to move your system off LTS & make it part kinetic? You're willing to no longer be LTS (esp. Xfce components)... I don't see that much change, but I'd still recommend against it for security reasons (you'll need to manually patch) even though possible (there are links to download binary on the page in your question if you follow them; but don't forget you'll need more than just thunar) – guiverc Jun 22 '22 at 22:34
