Just a quick update for users of the modern GTK3 twitter client ‘Corebird’ that PPA now supports for Ubuntu 15.04. And for users of Cantata MPD client, a QT built without KDE libraries available in PPA for Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 14.10, and Ubuntu 15.04.
Corebird is a native GTK+ twitter client which is still in active development for Linux. Now Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 14.10 users can run below commands in terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) one by one to install the app:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/corebird sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install corebird
Or download the .deb package directly if you don’t want to add PPA from this page.
The PPA also supports Ubuntu 14.04 LTS/Linux Mint 17, but you need Gnome3 Staging PPA for the dependencies, see the PPA description.
Cantata is a music player client which started off as a fork of QtMPC, mainly to provide better KDE integration but also support Qt4 /Qt5.
For KDE, run below command to add ppa for Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 14.10:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/cantata
For Qt (Qt4) without KDE libraries, use another ppa instead (supports: ubuntu 14.04/14.10/15.04):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/cantata-qt
After adding one of the PPAs, run commands to install cantata:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install cantata

Finally download the .deb package of corebird 1.0 from http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntuhandbook1/corebird/ubuntu/pool/main/c/corebird/. and install it by running command:
After installation, remove the Gnome Testing PPA:
