Totem 3.6 in Ubuntu 12.04?

Question

Can I upgrade Totem to version 3.6.3 in Ubuntu 12.04 without the webupd8 ppa. I tried the process from here, but I have some problems with getting the dependencies. The Reason why I want Totem 3.6.3 is of course for the latest changes and speed improvements.

The solution by Wilf doesn't work! This is what happened when I followed the procedure:

I seem to get errors from installing the depedencies that Wilf suggested, I did uninstall them before installing the newer version. Here is what I got in the terminal:

Looks like I'm missing some dep's, and the libglib2.0-0 on my system (2.34.1) is newer than what is on the raring page (2.33.14) and it says I need 2.35.9, looks like I have to dig in Saucy's or Trusty's page for libglib2.0-0 v.2.35. Ok I checked, Saucy is using just the exact same version of libglib2.0-0 as raring as its still 2.33.14. However Trusty is using 2.39.3, and I'm using 2.34.1, so what should I use?

EDIT

Ignore what I said like they put the wrong version number in the description but when you go on the page it's actually 2.36.0 for Raring, 2.38.0 for Saucy, and 2.39.3 for Trusty. So should I just go with 2.36.0 or should I get 2.35.9? Wouldn't 2.36.0 work as well? I'm going to go with v.2.35.9 found here.

Ok, all these dependencies are leading to more dependencies, and it looks like an infinite loop, and Synaptic can't remove the broken packages anymore! I'll start with a backup of my Virtual Machine before I started upgrading Totem again then I can be assisted again.

Gdebi seems not to like Totem 3.6.3 ether because of the mozilla-totem plugin.

Ok so how do I install Totem 3.6 + all the dependencies needed without breaking any packages?

But, similar as your linked as answer state, does Totem 3.6.3 exist :D. What is your current version of totem? You may be able to use totem --version command to find it, if not Open Totem, and go to Help > About. — Wilf, Feb 01 '14 at 19:41
Yes: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/+source/totem look at the latest version on that page, it's 3.6.3-0ubuntu6 if I'm not mistaken. Also my current version of Totem is 3.4.3 — davidbuddy9, Feb 01 '14 at 19:43
That's for 13.04... You may be able to install it - are you using 32bit or 64bit? — Wilf, Feb 01 '14 at 19:45
But I also have a 32bit (i686) netbook too (If it goes well I'll do it on it too, So both) — davidbuddy9, Feb 01 '14 at 19:46
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/totem_3.6.3.orig.tar.xz = sources to use with the first link you provided — MrVaykadji, Feb 02 '14 at 02:17

You can download the .deb for 3.6.3 from here for 64bit, or here for 32bit, and install it with Software Center. You may also be able to install it with these commands:

64bit:

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/136994659/totem_3.6.3-0ubuntu6_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i totem_3.6.3-0ubuntu6_amd64.deb

32bit:

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/136992776/totem_3.6.3-0ubuntu6_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i totem_3.6.3-0ubuntu6_i386.deb

The advantage of this is that you don't have to compile anything, as in your linked answer. The disadvantage is it might not have the right dependencies, so you might have to download those as well from Ubuntu Updates, or Ubuntu Packages.

_{I ain't running any machines currently with 12.04, so I can't test this answe,r but it should work. If the none of the above packages are for the right architecture (32bit/64bit/powerpc/whatever), You should be able to find them here}

Ok, I'll test it in a VM first like always! Then do it to my systems! Thank you – davidbuddy9 Feb 01 '14 at 19:52
OK. Hopefully if it was to cause any problems, it would tell you first - but apt... does not always notice... :-) . If its in a VM, the package state may be different, so it might install differently. – Wilf Feb 01 '14 at 19:55
Unfortunately it doesn't work :( Here is what I did: – davidbuddy9 Feb 01 '14 at 19:56
Maybe I should try the one that I have to compile. I think that should work – davidbuddy9 Feb 01 '14 at 20:08
What was the problem? - the previous comment said Here is what I did:... – Wilf Feb 01 '14 at 21:28
It was the terminal and it didn't fit and it didn't let me edit out. It was just the grey highlighted stuff, Idk I'm only ok at the terminal so I can't really find what I did wrong but I think its 2 dep's that are in newer versions I think. Now looking over it looks like I'm missing dep's but the sudo apt-get build-dep totem command refuses to get the dep's so Idk whats going on :( I need help with this – davidbuddy9 Feb 01 '14 at 21:30
Probably - totem is integral to Gnome, and sort of Unity, as it is one of the things that does the thumbnails of video files etc. You can get it to fit by going to terminal preferences and setting 'Scrolling' to 'Unlimited'. – Wilf Feb 01 '14 at 21:33
And how do you do that if I may ask? Thanks in advanced – davidbuddy9 Feb 01 '14 at 21:34
Btw, I'm using Gnome Fallback / Classic, but I doubt that's the problem – davidbuddy9 Feb 01 '14 at 21:36
Oh I see yes I did set it to unlimited in the terminal, so now what? – davidbuddy9 Feb 02 '14 at 00:01
But isn't it already in the question? – davidbuddy9 Feb 02 '14 at 12:51
Ok. You shoudld be able to sort out gstreamer errors by running sudo apt-get install gstreamer*. Remove libcogl12, libtotem0 and totem-common, and install the versions mentioned - totem-common, libcogl12, libtotem0. – Wilf Feb 02 '14 at 13:22
Hmm, I seem to be getting errors when installing the deps. I'll put what I got in the terminal in the q – davidbuddy9 Feb 02 '14 at 13:37

The method to install it is simple. Just use Gdebi:

sudo apt-get install gdebi-core
sudo gdebi totem_3.6.3-0ubuntu6_amd64.deb

That's all. Now, you could also build it from source if necessary.

Ok, I will try it when I have time! – davidbuddy9 Feb 04 '14 at 03:29
Wait, you said I can build it from source, does that mean that gdebi supports .orig.tar.xz (or just .tar.xs) files too? – davidbuddy9 Feb 04 '14 at 22:23
Gdebi says that its uninstallable, I'll post the terminal stuff in the answer. – davidbuddy9 Feb 04 '14 at 22:29

You already have totem mozilla, why you want to install the other totem? Also, if you don't want totem mozilla, just remove it. – Braiam Feb 04 '14 at 22:58
Oh ok I'll try then. But totem-mozilla is a dependence. – davidbuddy9 Feb 05 '14 at 03:42
