[texworks] 'No SyncTex data available', Xunbuntu 9.10, TeXWorks 0.3 ver 571

[Paul A Norman]

I did this to get synctex working on Ubuntu 9.10 (as I wrote earlier)

    Set up for an update using this repository:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:aelmahmoudy/tl2009

    Got TeXLive2007 off, and did the TeXLive 2009-07 install (not having
    any reference to a more recent one not having seen Alain's message
    yet.)

    sudo apt-get install texlive

Is there a public repository for ...
