I've just gone from using windows vista 4 months ago to Ubuntu 8.10 to Kubuntu (the last 2 weeks). I would like to know how to update KDE in the terminal.

Re: Updating KDE
Not sure what you are asking, but if you mean to upradge KDE 4.1.3 to KDE 4.2.RC1 then follow this link http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2-rc1
If you want to up upgrade to KDE 4.1.4 just enable pre-release updates in adept.Kubuntu 10.10 64bit<br />KDE 4.5.3<br />Kernel: 2.6.35.22 generic<br />Nvidia Driver: 260.19.06<br />Dell Dimension 9200 - Core 2 Duo 6300 - 3GB Ram<br />Nvidia Geforce 7900GS<br /><br />Linux user since March 2004<br />Linux user #526793 -
Re: Updating KDE
I would however advise you not to upgrade to 4.2 rc1, as it is far from being stable(dolphin crashes all the time etc). 4.1.4 is the best you can get now.Comment

Re: Updating KDE
Everyone's experience is different, I have been using 4.2 since beta1 and have not had a single application crash. For me 4.2 (even in beta) has been a more polished DE than 4.1.x.Originally posted by cleb
I find the important thing with new versions of KDE 4 is to keep your drivers up to date e.g video drivers, even if it means using beta versions.
That said I do like to live near the edge (not on it) even on my production machine.Kubuntu 10.10 64bit<br />KDE 4.5.3<br />Kernel: 2.6.35.22 generic<br />Nvidia Driver: 260.19.06<br />Dell Dimension 9200 - Core 2 Duo 6300 - 3GB Ram<br />Nvidia Geforce 7900GS<br /><br />Linux user since March 2004<br />Linux user #526793Comment

Re: Updating KDE
If by update you mean get the newest updates to what you have installed? Very easy.
Open a Konsole and type:
That checks for updatesCode:sudo apt-get update
That installs the updatesCode:sudo apt-get upgrade

Re: Updating KDE
And as I've recently been made aware of, running:
is preferable to:Code:sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
as dist-upgrade will intelligently handle dependencies, which might include 'new' packages that aren't currently installed.Code:sudo apt-get upgrade

Re: Updating KDE
I've never had a problem with plain ol' upgrade. But I usually use a package manager. Thanks, Snowhog!

Re: Updating KDE
See my [SOLVED] linux-* packages kept back and kubicle's reply (Reply #7) which is how I learned about this. I tend to use the CLI and sudo apt-get for my upgrades more than I do the package manager.Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007
