Epiphany/Web 3.8 Available for Ubuntu Gnome?

[ronacc]

hmm it must have altered the grub.cfg I was using my precise install as a master boot . I switched to the gnome3 raring install in bios and it booted but won't from the precise grub . It was booting ok from that one until I updaed with the gnome 3 ppa . Its 11;30 pm here I' investigate tomorrow .

@ jbicha (and others)

I nailed the problem due to Kotrfa's post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...2#post12586232

It's a dependency problem when upgrading via the Gnome3 ppa leaving 29 packages not upgraded in my case, and gnome-shell at version 3.6.3.1 and gdm at 3.8.0, causing Gnome-Shell to crash in my case.
Reported on Bug #1162466 too

@ jbicha this morning when I booted the raring gnome 3 install booted from my master boot grub on my precise install it booted ok, it was the first boot of the morning . on a guess I rebooted into a different install and then back to the raring gnome 3 install . No boot that time same message . I shut down instead of rebooted and it booted ok then so there must be some difference between a cold boot and a reboot . I still have the white background when the launcher is not active and the normal ubuntu background when it is . I'd post a screen shot but I can't figure out how with the new forum format .

@ ronacc
Do you have the Gnome3 ppa enabled ?
Do you have the Gnome3 staging ppa enabled ?
What does

gnome-shell --version

in a terminal give you ?

[ronacc]

 ron@ron-desktop2:~$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.8.0.1
ron@ron-desktop2:~$

I have gnome 3 ppa. I do not have gnom 3 staging . should I ?

@Flywaver I installed epiphany but when I tried to install the new webkit it wanted to remove many packages so I did not install tthat .

you need epiphany-browser-data, epiphany-extensions and epiphany-browser-webkit2....if you try to install epiphany-browser it will remove webkit2...it's weird because epiphany-browser is listed as 3.7.91

No, your install seems to be in good shape ( gnome wise that is ) unlike what mine was before.

I just installed epiphany-browser-webkit2, it installed 2 packages on my box, epiphany-browser-webkit2 and webkit2. My install is Ubuntu-GNOME only and the Gnome3 ppa.

But you are right ronacc, no entry in the app-window and you can't find it when searching. You have to use the terminal and type epiphany-browser to launch it.

BTW this is posted using epiphany-browser-webkit2.
