Kubuntu 14.04 LTS Schedule, Plans,...

Interestingly, Chromium -- without any modifications -- uses the KDE dialogs.

...or does it?

Good point. I edited my earlier post appropriately.

Muon told me there was a new version of Kubuntu available today



I didn't upgrade, thinking I would do it with apt instead... but it doesn't seem like it's ready yet!

I'm confused as to why Muon seemed to think there was a new version...

Alpha 2, perhaps?

Yeah, I wouldn't do that in Muon either. Just run sudo do-release-upgrade at the command line.

Ah, I stuck an apt-get in there, maybe that's why it didn't do anything!

Still strange though, I haven't configured anything to prompt me to upgrade to anything more than normal releases.

[SteveRiley]

apt-get won't do a release upgrade unless you manually change all the release pocket names in /etc/apt/sources.list.

Don't know what to think about the Muon weirdness. I'm not a fan of GUI tools for package management because they hide too much. I want to see every detail about what's going on.
