Natty GTK2 and GTK3

My Ubuntu Natty default shipped GTK2 and Epiphany (browser) 2.x. I wanted to switch to Epiphany 3.x but it comes along with several GTK3 stuff.

This is how I did it

Enable Oneiric reposotiry

Although it's only alpha at this moment, I enabled them in my "sources.list" I did not enable any pinning. Dont forget to apt-get update.

Install wanted softwares and dependences

After installing Epiphany, Evince and Evolution (yes...), It worked well but the aspect of GTK3 windows was different because of my current GTK2 theme was not ported to GTK3 yet.

npm run build base-href

Using NPM to specify base-href When building an Angular application, people usually use "ng" and pass arguments to that invocation.

This did the job! The command to issue is then: npm run build -- --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo&

I searched and found: Noticeable typing lag in Linux VM terminals since v16.2 upgrade on Linux host To make it short, what solved it for me: Disable 3D acceleration in the VM setting .
