I’ve upgraded my guake from 0.4.0 to 0.5.0 as it was glitched after release upgrade

Download the latest version from https://github.com/Guake/guake/

Install dependience:

sudo apt-get build-dep guake

Use the following source list in case you got “Unable to find a source package for guake” error

Don’t forget backup your current list /etc/apt/sources.list

cp -rp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_old

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ maya main upstream import
deb-src http://packages.linuxmint.com/ maya main upstream import
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse

Remove you current version of guake

sudo apt-get remove guake

Unzip master.zip and enter guake-master/ folder to compile and install a new guake version:

sudo ./dev.sh

Dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python-dbus python-xdg python-notify -y

Create the symbol link to run using old icon

sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/guake /usr/bin/guake

Another:

./autogen.sh
make
make install
sudo make install

If doesn’t work, remove and retry/test the steps above

sudo make uninstall sudo updatedb sudo locate guake

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/guake/ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/pixmaps/guake sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/guake

Done!
