I will keep trying to get 4.12 somehow.
Try this in an vm or test install then.
Copy source.list:
Code:
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup
Open sources.list:
Code:
sudo -H mousepad /etc/apt/sources.list
Replace 14.04 sources.list with 16.04 repos.
Save and close sources.list.
Open ‘Synaptic’ package manager, (install if needed).
Hit the ‘refresh button’ in synaptic.
Click on the packages you want and then install them.
Close synaptic.
(This can be done in a running system, because of the ‘start-stop daemon’ in Debian/Ubuntu systems).
Copy your original ‘sources.list' from backup and replace to what was before editing and save.
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Reboot.
