As per the PPA, you need to enable 4.10 PPA for 4.12

  • ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10
  • ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12

Do

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10
add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12
sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade # if you have already installed xfce4

otherwise

sudo apt-get install xfce4

NOTE: make sure python-software-properties and software-properties-common are installed.

  • Tried above steps, it installed xfce 4.10. Still xfce 4.12 packages are not available. xfce4-about version 4.10 – gcoder Sep 11 '13 at 04:29
  • Looking at the 4.12 ppa, it appears that the latest 4.12 packages are not available there yet. That's why you didn't get it. – Terry Wang Sep 11 '13 at 04:58
