That means that if you've added some PPA which has a newer GTK3 version (like the GNOME 3 PPA), you won't be able to use this PPA unless you purge the other PPA or downgrade the packages!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>To add the GTK+3 Broadway PPA and upgrade to GTK3 with Broadway in Ubuntu, use the following commands:</b></div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:malizor/gtk-broadway<br />sudo apt-get update<br />sudo apt-get upgrade</code></pre><br /><b>Then, log out, log back in and to run an application with the Broadway backend, use the following command:</b><br /><pre class="linux-code"><code>GDK_BACKEND=broadway UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 <i><APPLICATION></i></code></pre>where "APPLICATION" is the GTK3 application executable. For instance, to run Gedit with the Broadway backend, use:<br /><pre class="linux-code"><code>GDK_BACKEND=broadway UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 gedit</code></pre>"UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=" and "LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0" are required because with the global menu and overlay scrollbars enabled, the applications segfault.<br /><br />And finally, <b>open Firefox</b> (using Chrome didn't work properly in my test) <b>and enter the following address: http://localhost:8080</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">You can also use this from a remote machine, by entering your IP followed by the 8080 port. In my test, this also worked using Firefox on my Android phone.</div><br />To specify the port (if you use a different port for each app, they can run in the same time), use "BROADWAY_DISPLAY=" followed by the port number (e.g.: BROADWAY_DISPLAY=8081) in the command used to launch the application.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Remember: <b>you can only use this with GTK3 applications</b>. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is another PPA which provides the latest stable GTK 3.8 for Ubuntu 13.04, that comes with some extra features, like <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/broadwayd.html">password</a> protection, running multiple GTK+ applications in the same web browser and more, however, since Ubuntu 13.04 doesn't come with GTK 3.8 by default, I don't recommend using this unless you only want to test it in some virtual machine or you plan on using Broadway on a server. You can find the Ubuntu 13.04 GTK 3.8 with Broadway PPA <a href="https://launchpad.net/~malizor/+archive/gtk-next-broadway">HERE</a> - make sure you read the PPA description since Broadway works a bit differently in GTK 3.8.</div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Reverting the changes</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>If you want to purge the GTK+3 Broadway PPA and go back to the GTK+3 version you had installed previously, use the following commands:</b></div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo apt-get install ppa-purge<br />sudo ppa-purge ppa:malizor/gtk-broadway</code></pre>

Pentingnya peringkat mesin pencari adalah salah satu konsep kunci dari SEO dan semua orang yang terlibat dalam bisnis sangat menyadari fakta itu. Sebuah studi terbaru dari Bing mengungkapkan betapa pentingnya untuk mendapatkan peringkat atas dan menempatkan angka di belakang teori.
