sudo dpkg --install --ignore-depends=_______ python-wxgtk3.0.deb > If I can find a few savvy volunteers here who use their 14.04 machines regularly and also want to test this for me, I can propose it be included in official backports. Hi Adam, My main machine is running Xubuntu 14.04. I can test this for you during a few weeks. After that, I plan tu update to 14.10 myself. Do I have to compile with KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON, or only KICAD_SCRIPTING? Let me know when the backports are ready.
