4.4 Beta Packages

[blackpaw]

Does "Comming soon" have any time estimates on it?

And could someone correct the spelling mistake it really grates to see that on the front page

Re: 4.4 Beta Packages

If you aren't afraid of breakage, you can enable the staging repository. Obviously this is as unsupported as it gets. If you upgrade while packages are being uploaded, you may end up without a kpanel or other brokenness.

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/staging/ubuntu/ karmic main

Edit: If you find yourself without a kpanel, you can use Alt-F2 to get a run dialogue and launch konsole, dolphin, etc.

Edit 2: Just upgraded my laptop. Now is one of those times where you get no kpanel, so you may want to hold off...

Re: 4.4 Beta Packages

For those of you that share my wreckless disregard for system stability, installing kubuntu-desktop seems to have returned the kpanel.

For a bit I had a duplicate panel, so I shutdown kde from a console:

sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop

Removed my kde config:

rm -rf ~/.kde

Restarted kde:

sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start

And it seems to be mostly good.

Re: 4.4 Beta Packages

DO NOT USE THE STAGING REPO!!!!!
Read the ppa description. It is NOT for use to install any packages, it is for staging in order to set up for when the packages are completer and ready for use in Karmic. There are or will be missing packages, broken dependencies and general mayhem will be present. It will also probably eat your cats and scare your pooches as well

The developers are working on it very hard, but there are some teething problems to be remedied in Lucid, and these fixes will make it down to the karmic packages.

Patience, grasshoppers

If you are really eager to get 4.4, I would actually suggest testing out Lucid Alpha. If you find anything broken fixes will be made there first.

But for the love of Pete, please don't use the Staging repo!!!!!!

Re: 4.4 Beta Packages

Packages for KDE SC 4.4 Beta1 are available for karmic in the beta ppa.
