installing plasma 5.2 in Kubuntu 14:04

[jnejunior]

I wonder how to install plasma kde 5.2 on Kubuntu 14.04?

See http://sourcedigit.com/14871-install...-ubuntu-14-10/

did not work, it appears that found no packages

Okay, looks like KDE Plasma 5.2 is not available for 14.04. You can remove the added PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:kubuntu-ppa/next-backports

See http://www.kubuntu.org/news/plasma-5.2

still, it did not work, I tried to remove the terminal and that all worked out, but at the restart nothing different happened.

Yes, nothing will have changed as there are no plasma 5 packages available for 14.04.


It was available for 14.10, but that ppa became broken and was taken down.

That sourcedigit page obviously never actually checked their information for correctness.
