KDE4

[uhriventis]

I'm thinking about upgrading when I get a chance but, find limited information on how to install it. Being very new at Linux/UNIX I'm wondering is there a command I type in in the Konsole or apt-get?

read the instructions here:

kubuntu kde4 packages are still messy, so be prepared that things may not work

You just need to install kde4 from adept, the download is about 255MB. There is a bug, what only one, that means you have to reset your root password using Konsole and the passwd command.

That's not true, and I the issue with kdesudo has been fixed in today's updates
Until you update (not sure if the fix has reached Gutsy's repositories), you can use the Run Command dialog to run apps needing admin privileges, such as

kdesudo adept_manager

You can do this from a right-click on the dektop, or via Alt-F2 keystroke

It is only recommended for advanced users to enable the root account in *buntu

What's not true, this is how I loaded KDE4. I had to reset the password before I could get into Adept, if that bug is now fixed then I stand corrected.

Re: KDE4

its not true that you needed to reset the root password, as running the command the way I mentioned above (and originally here)
